Mayuka will not be leaving. Also after he has smashed West Brom on Saturday you will see why he is staying. Lambert on the bench Saturday with Jay Rod and Mayuka starting.

Lambert on the bench? You crazy?!

Yes, a great oppurtunity to put ourselves in a position to finish top ten and alleviate pressure on the teams below us and we are going to bench our top scorer. I so see this happening. OP you are mad.

Lambert is carrying a knock and is not 100%

MP has said the only player unavailable to him is JWP. Lambert wasn't 100% against Swansea but will be fine for tomorrows game.

Mayuka should get a chance this weekend. Maybe not start depending on Lamberts condition but he should come on with about half hour to play as he showed us he's keen against Swansea and I can see him scoring.

Saints have lost out on the signing of sainsbury, here is the report.

Bolton Wanderers are understood to have beaten Southampton to the signature of Australian defender Trent Sainsbury.

The Trotters are set to seal a £350,000 move for the 21-year-old Perth-born player after he indicated his preference for the Lancashire club - who are bidding to join Saints in the Premier League next season. Southampton wanted to have a look at Sainsbury on trial before committing to a deal, but Bolton have done their homework and are ready to table their offer to the Central Coast Mariners. Sainsbury is coming off a superb season for the A-League champions and was one of their best players in the grand final victory over Western Sydney Wanderers

Not too bothered really, I know that sounds harsh but I think we have better on the team already so he'd only be a reserve so going to Bolton is probably for first team football. Good luck to him if this is true.

Bolton ready to table their offer-sounds to me there could be an agent behind this trying to force some interest from Saints (and maybe others).
If Saints were genuinely interested can't see any young quality player would turn down a Premiership club for one in the Championship.
