Southampton FC Rumours

22 Jul 2025 07:05:15
Downes, THB, Bednarek, Matsuki and Dibling are all out for 'injuries'.

Any intel on who is about to leave and who might stay?

22 Jul 2025 20:33:57
Matsuki is apparently going out on loan. Would not surprise me if the other four all go. THB thinks he’s better than he is, Downes isn’t great unless he’s playing for Martin, Bednarek is another year older, Dibling probably isn’t interested in playing championship. The fun is only just beginning!

24 Jul 2025 06:55:41
Shame about Matsuki, could do with another CAM.

We are overloaded with CBs, so need to move some on or even try Wood or Jack as a 6, if Downes goes.

Looks like it's Will Still not Rosenior. At least still has something to prove not a losing streak with a club that's won a title many times (Roma)

24 May 2025 12:04:33
Tom Cleverly seen at Saints U21 Final! Are Saints about to screw up another appointment? Will Still is by far the better choice, over achieves, tactically very aware, good defensive record which we have lacked for 3 seasons now. This is a bad move when Still is available!

19 May 2025 09:07:06
We better not accept the offer of Matt Targett and a couple of millions for Dibling. Just get better players from elsewhere. I feel like Targett will become a Fraser or a Stewart.

19 May 2025 19:20:03
Targett - seriously? We will all go to hell in a handcart.

18 May 2025 10:38:21
The Independent is quoting Will Still as favourite. He has just left Lens.

What are people's thoughts?

Seems to have done well in France.

Young guy, new league, partner with medical issues and a club in crisis. It's a lot on his shoulders.

18 May 2025 19:39:02
This would just be another punt - and the others didn’t work out well.

We need someone who can rebuild a totally broken spirit - our team are damaged beyond repair. As I have said previously, it will be a good 3 years before we are able to compete for PL status. Once our squad has been asset stripped we will be on the same level as Norwich, Blackburn, Millwall and QPR.

With that bunch of underachievers we’re all going to Hell in a handcart. Seriously, where are the winners amongst that lot?

We are also making assumptions that clubs will want to pay serious money for players who have proved they cannot compete.

Guys, please get real - we are where we are for many reasons and not least because they are simply not good enough

06 May 2025 07:07:18
Hi @Millertime,

I am going on what I think will happen, not what I want to and I share your deep disappointment.

I think two or more seasons in the Championship might actually be good for us. Bring through promising youth, gel a new generation together and ease off the pressure.

I think the above could snatch us 6th with a good manager.

06 May 2025 21:57:58
A root and branch culling is certainly required. We need a cultural reset - we are devoid of ambition in the Board Room and that translates into low expectation through the club and onto the pitch.

A couple of seasons in the Championship may well be the answer - I don’t know?

07 May 2025 06:47:06
In an ideal world, we would keep KWP THB, Dibling and Fernandes, sell a lot of struggling players for 100m and bring in some quality players on loan to buy deals.

Remember the Cortese, Fonte, Lallana and Lambert days?

11 Apr 2025 08:34:03
We could be about to see a complete 180 by Southampton.

Russell Martin has been in discrete talks with the board about returning as manager in the summer.

13 Apr 2025 08:36:25
Well that would please at least one fan. Good morning Lesleee!

09 Apr 2025 13:25:59
According to TBR football we are trying to o get Stevie G as a manager.


Bro failed in Saudi ane his replacement at Aston Villa has turned that club around.


Obv not a amazing and valid source but its the most Southampton thing to do is not sign the manager we need but pick a free agent that would do something right.

10 Apr 2025 04:14:58
Should the two current favourites become unavailable for any reason then Saints FC could turn to the well rested, proven and outstanding Coach Steve Cooper followed by Frank Lampard and Michael Carrick. KOM.

26 Jan 2025 21:53:20
Albert Grønbæk - loan/buy option DONE

Andre Garcia - 2M + sell on clause

Dániel Gazdag - 5M + add ons - agent currently stalling contract talks
