  And those of us with too many years on the planet to bother counting will remember, and add to the list, Campbell Forsyth who joined us back in 1965/66 from Kilmarnock.
  As for Benjamin Siegrist, I really don't think he'll be signing a contract any time soon, well not in Southampton anyway.

  Not one Saints supporter surprised by this decision I imagine. Hopefully Newcastle will let us all know when they have a fully fit, injury and covid free squad available before the season ends.
  Comment Are Newcastle Seeking To Gain An Unfair Advantage By Calling Games Off
  at 11:04:27
  I'd like to think that any club asking for matches to be called off has to present authentic medical evidence to demonstrate that players are unfit to play. I'm guessing that they do but Newcastle are clearly a sitting duck for speculation because of their league position and potential "financial doping" to get themselves out of trouble.
  As far as I'm aware the game on Sunday is still set to be played and I'm hoping that Newcastle will field a team regardless of age and experience just to demonstrate that they aren't seeking to gain from their lack of squad depth.
  Of course we all suspect that if they were sitting in mid table they would have played at Everton but surely, snigger, that would be too cynical to suggest in a sporting context. The difficulty is that Newcastle shouldn't be penalised unless every other club is similarly penalised for not being able to field a team. What they may or may not spend in January is potentially no different to Burnley, Leeds or Watford strengthening their squads.
  Quite simply if they have sufficient players on their books to put out a team then they should be told to play, otherwise it can only raise the issue that cheating is acceptable if you don't get caught out.
  Comment Southampton In Transfer Talks With Sassuolo

  I suspect that there won't be too many posts suggesting we give Moi the option of a new contract next summer. Without doubt he's an improved player, and has almost made a genuine impact during recent games, but still nowhere near indispensable. I believe that there were also rumours of interest from Leicester and Arsenal a few weeks back.
  My view is that if he's inclined to move on I'd let him go, one of several signings in recent years that looked promising but failed to deliver the end product.

  Comment Southampton At Crystal Palace The Verdict
  at 16:47:58
  Thank you TimSaint your post has just saved me a lot of keyboard tapping, and I'm really not sure what any of us should be expecting from the current squad given its limitations. Let's give credit where it's due rather than expecting miracles. For those that touted Eddie Howe to replace Ralph just have a look at what he's achieved, or not, at Newcastle. You can only do the best with the players at your disposal and I've yet to be even slightly convinced that changing the manager is going to transform the players abilities. Let's get behind the team and give them credit for putting in a shift even if the end result is not consistently above the limitations enforced by lack of investment by the owners.
  Comment Saints Sign Keeper On One Month Contract
  I hope that Harry Lewis is deemed good enough to play and Caballero is being paid to sit on the bench. Or is Lewis injured as well?
