Southampton FC Rumours

27 Aug 2024 19:54:52
According to the ugly inside. Bijlow has failed his medical at southampton which can kinda explain why we haven't signed him at all. This is kinda conrete has biljow has annouced he failed his medical on his socials.

So now we stll are stuck with McCarthy who clearly isn't worthy of being the sticks cause we'll get relegated if he is.


Rasmdale or nothing now unless we sign some keeper which suddenly becomes prime neuer.

28 Aug 2024 13:52:16
Ramsdale and Brooks incoming.

29 Aug 2024 18:05:57
Not heard any thing about brooks? I know him and ramsgate are good mates though.

29 Aug 2024 20:39:33
Ramsdale*

Can someone please explain the Charly situation. I think he could be special for us this season. He's definitely got something about him

26 Aug 2024 20:25:17
He is certainly quite good and from what I understand he was not agitating to leave, but it seems that (1) his natural and best style is too undisciplined to fit into the way Southampton plays and (2) his trouble with the language has made it difficult to instruct him to play within the system.

26 Aug 2024 21:04:52
Charly is a very talented player but he does lack possession discipline in key areas on the pitch. He will excel at slightly lower standard leagues and in time may well adjust his cavalier style and become an established international and maybe a regular fixture in a top premier league club. Saints don’t have the luxury of giving him time, when playing RMs system he gets caught on the ball too many times which will be punished at the highest level. It is a great shame that, for Charly, RM is manager. If Ralph, Koeman and even Jones were manager he would be playing in a different more explosive style of play which would more suit him.

St. Marty has written an article entitled, Southampton v Nottingham Forest Review

Sky now reporting we’re making a loan bid for Ramsdale, anyone got any update on either GK situation?

22 Aug 2024 10:48:44
Why don't we go for Stirling, probably not a shot of getting him but, might get him on the cheap and if he wants to play regularly why not us? Can't see any of top 6 clubs going for him. SR/RM - be brave and have a go, he is a class act. We really do need a Keeper too or we r bang in trouble, Johnstone is a good keeper, wants to leave Palace so if Ramsdale to Wolves (puzzling why though as Sa is class!) is going through then Johnstone is a must surely?!

{Ed002's Note - The wages are a huge problem and Southampton has no interest.}

I have been told that Saints are looking long and hard at Sverre Nypan of Rosenberg. The Norwegians want 14 million euros for him. He scored a hatrick last night and is very highly rated.

23 Aug 2024 09:09:07
Thanks for the intel @2408.

Do we still have money to spend?

Saints were saying they needed to sell before they bought. I think you said we probably had 12m to spend.

Since then we have 10m in for Mara, have spent 30m on Archer and Fernandes, potentially 10m lined up on Bijlow and now maybe more.

Sounds like we are very confident on 20m in from ABK and Onuachu to balance the books, KWP or Alcaraz may be off (hope not) or there was more money available than thought.

23 Aug 2024 16:08:13
Alcaraz and ABK will cover what’s been spent. Alcaraz is a free spirit not suited to arms regimented system.

23 Aug 2024 18:37:32
Thanks @2408.

Alcaraz is currently the 2nd highest PL goal scorer per game in the squad, so it seems a big risk to sell him but point taken on the system adherence.

Appreciate the update

21 Aug 2024 12:49:34
Justin Bijlow?

21 Aug 2024 20:02:49
Keeps the loan slot free for a certain “free kick merchant”?

20 Aug 2024 23:43:09
Transfer update.

Ox has now agreed a deal elsewhere.

Ramsdale is weighing up options. Wolves most likely due to manager links. Saints offering an attractive loan deal but waiting till deadline day to make their move. Szczęsny has also been discussed as a 1 season interim.

JWP is interesting. Not on our current list, but watch this space. If a deal can be struck we will go for it. Loan option most likely on deadline day. Bournemouth have also registered an interest.

Saints also in for another promising young winger Fernandez-Pardo. Lots of noise but no official offer as of yet.

21 Aug 2024 10:06:36
Szczesny is a fabulous goalkeeper and out of contract. Arsenal must have another keeper lined up if they are going to let Ramsdale leave, doesn’t add up otherwise. Fernandes signing smacks of Sports Republic decision not the manager or scouting team, our profile of signings in the last 12 months clearly reflects my summation. Fernandes is the first player we’ve signed since RM was manager that has no football experience in the UK with the exception of Sugawara, Japanese players have a professional mindset and are not mercenaries. If Wolves do sign Ramsdale then Sa is a very good keeper to consider, he won’t want to be No2 at Wolves. Archer was bought as cover for Armstrong and will score goals given time, Hope Stewart is fit soon. ?

21 Aug 2024 12:12:25
Apparently bid in for the Feyenoird keeper just

21 Aug 2024 12:37:40
2408, do you think we will sign another forward?

21 Aug 2024 19:10:31
There is no intel re signing another striker. I think a lot will depend on whether Onaucha stays and Stewart is genuinely close to full fitness. Keeper appears to be main focal point atm.

20 Aug 2024 21:09:25
Fernandes is a done deal - presumably he can play in goal as well!

Just saying that £15M (Archer) plus £15M (Fernandes) = £30m (Ramsdale)

I rest my case.

20 Aug 2024 13:22:27
It gets worse - breaking rumours about getting Matt Targett back on loan.

If that happens I will give my season tickets away. God help us.

20 Aug 2024 15:50:53
Dibs on your season ticket when he signs :)

20 Aug 2024 17:48:21
We kept telling the transfer team to get their signings on target! Looks like they took us literally!

20 Aug 2024 18:47:39
If it wasn’t so sad that would be funny!
