I just hope he's worth it (and also not trouble)

If we have Fox at left back then we will surely give away quite a few goal-scoring chances each game.

Another promising young player coming through

Great game of cricket - Carberry is on fire! Now onwards to the semis.

I am delighted for Rickie - fully deserved and he should have had the call earlier really given his record. I think he will do well if given the chance.

Hodgson is hopeless.

So forget Damiao and his nasty agent: http://www.insidefutbol.com/2013/08/07/hes-waiting-for-bigger-club-than-southampton-agent-of-tottenham-hotspur-target-leandro-damiao/94349/ We do still need a striker with some real pace. Walcott anyone?

Let's try again for Lukaku.

I think we have a very good squad with some very promising younger players coming through. I must say though that I have never rated Les Reed who NC seems to rely on rather too much.

Hampshire are now 5 runs ahead and we are heading for a draw. Poor season in the CC.

Fully agree.

Hampshire 31 for 1 - Adams out for 10. What is the matter with JA this season - I can't imagine his average is very high.

Oh dear - Glamorgan have declared about 130 ahead - we simply don't seem to be able to bowl sides out. Poor.

I think our inability to score is becoming a worry - the tail end of last season was poor (4 points out of 18 I recall) and that was largely down to failure to score very many.

Losing 4-1 on pens is rather pathetic - who took them and who missed?

348 for 9 - doing OK!

No thank you!

261 for 6 and Vince is still there - good innings by Carberry again.

After a horrible start, we are now 60 for 2 against Glamorgan - McKenzie has scored 7 off 59 balls! Oh he has just got a 4!

I would like to think he is right in what he says: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2382701/James-Ward-Prowse-youngsters-like-Bale-left-Southampton-present-state.html Incidentally, is the Daily Mail becoming Saints house magazine?!

Signed by NC - did Ok in the CC but not a PL player - at least I don't have to listen to that ridiculous Steeeeve noise anymore - I could never understand why they did it.

I think we have a very good squad with some excellent younger players coming through who we no longer have to sell (cf Bale, Walcott, Oxlade-C, etc) - I think we will do very well this season and I am looking forward to it.

I think we have some good youngsters coming through and need some space to let them in - we should only buy the very highest proven quality.

A very good player in his day - I saw him playing for Norwich and he was the best on the pitch. My recollection is that he didn't really want to leave but Saints needed the money - goodness we were badly run in those days. He is a true Saints fan and a local lad from Bitterne as I remember. I wish him all the best.

Who cares what Lawro thinks?
