Pamplemousse

The same ExWHUEmployee who said 2 weeks ago they weren't in for him. A bit like all the Newcastle ITKs on Tino, all codswallop. Just need that tit Alex from Twitter to chime in

Yeah, he definitely come off the pitch carrying a little injury.

Unlike Portsmouth, which is literally reclaimed land from the sea

Looked like he had a slight muscle injury when he came off against Reading

There were some rumours Derby were interested in a loan deal. I think a loan to a League 1 team would make sense rather than making the odd appearance off the bench or starting cup games.

Yeah, I have nightmares about that Leicester away game last season

They've got Liverpool next Sunday as well out there. It's a shame Sky didn't schedule their first game for the Friday tbh.

£20M for Salisu is amazing business by us. Hopefully we go all out for Piroe. We saw last season how not signing a striker was a huge error, even if it comes at a premium.

Don't mind it tbh, the yellow trim improves it significantly. Away kit is the best of the three

We were a penalty shoot out away from reaching a winnable play-off final as well though.

Ah yes Holgate forgot about him. Would be a brilliant signing

Given that we're selling all our centre backs (not upset about that all) other than Stephens and Bednarek, we've got to be looking there surely for incomings. There don't appear to be many links other than Fonte and Evans who have since joined other teams.

They're not happy looking at Twitter, don't think their squad is anywhere good enough.

For anyone planning to go to certain games, the EFL have published on their website the dates when TV games will be announced https://www.efl.com/how-to-watch/tv-broadcast/ So we should get the next batch of TV games announced next week. I reckon our game v Leicester in September is almost certainly going to be shown

Welcome aboard Shea. We're quietly making some astute signings. I thought we'd be a little off Leeds and Leicester this season but starting to think that we may be ahead of Leeds at least.

Still sticking to my original prediction that nobody will pay what we want but come the end of August someone may get desperate if they've had a bad start to the season. We just need to hold firm.

And he only has 2 years left on his contract, unlike many of our players. Obviously when it comes to Adams, KWP and Salisu we're in a trickier position to negotiate if we want a fee.

Hopefully we hike the price when clubs who visit us charge Saints fans ridiculous prices. £45 is obscene, on top of any travel costs.

Everyone said the same about Thiago Silva when he went to Chelsea and he's been immense for them. Yes physically it may be a challenge and he won't be able to play every game but let's be honest, he's better than Lyanco.

Personally I think a bigger issue is why so many who live in the city support other teams. Why are we different to other one club cities like Leeds and Newcastle where everyone supports their teams no matter what?

On the Coady debate - apparently he wanted to stay in the Midlands/North so I think if we were in for him, any enquiry via his agent would have been met with a swift no.

Kelvin was great for us in League 1 and the Championship, shite for us in the Premier League I think he'll be fine this season. You would expect (hopefully) he won't have to face as many shots as he did last season

If anyone fancies some evening entertainment, the EFL youtube page is kindly showing the full game of this. I was there and haven't seen back the minute's "silence" for Ted Bates before this.

Chelsea have a sell on fee as well. £12M wouldn't make any sense for us to sell. I know Rasmus does stupid things but he's not that stupid.

Portsmouth?
