Cannot think of a player I've disliked more since Dennis Wise. Just an utterly frustrating human being.

Probably just repeating what the guy next to him said

It should be used to ensure funding is more equally spread through the leagues, for example, Burnley and Leeds going up this year means the PL sides get their leftover parachute payments, that should go to championship sides instead surely? As it's a sign of unbalance. Personally think we are more likely to see an 18 team PL than that happen!

Think this is a little harsh. 5 players 21 or under in his last squad, certainly gave Bailey Cadamarteri serious minutes last season. He's not proven on bringing players through for sure, but there's enough there for me to suggest he's not anti-young players.

Fabregas would be very good, he looks a remarkably inventive coach...but I have no idea why he would leave Como for us

Looking like Wolves will be his last match, id imagine Kingy in charge for Southampton at home with the hope we can end with a win or two from final 4 games and boost the mood around the place.

I could get on board with this (not the Brussell part), can see us needing an extra centre back after a couple of departures. He'd be a sensible pickup at a good age

Kyogo Furuhashi from Rennes Richard Kone from Wycombe Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brondby Kasper Hogh from Bodo Glimt Rafiu Durosinmi from Plzen Adriano Bertaccini from St Truiden Yousef Salach from Cardiff

Yuito Suzuki from Brondby. Attacking midfielder, can also play wide, would be a great El Khannouss replacement if he moves

I'd love him here next season, but similarly at his wages and with his injury record, if he wants to move on it may make sense for both parties. Cannot see he hasn't given us great value in his years with us and seems one of the last ones left with high standards

Been keeping my eye on Kone, and like his talent but his goalscoring has dried up a little recently. Believe Wycombe rejected £6m in January, so I do wonder what price it would take, especially if they go up

It's a fair point you make on Souttar @Finnegan. Personally, I think he's more than good enough to get us up, and then we improve when back in PL and we can entice a better standard of CB. I also think he's easily capable of 5 goals from set pieces next season. You're bang on about Winks, he was a rolls Royce last season. Think people downplay how good Mavididi was last year too.

You won't find a better centre back in the air than Souttar, similarly, if you want someone cultured alongside him, Nelson is your man. Could be a really dominant partnership.

You look at the sides likely to go up, and maybe Leeds if they hugely invest (can they?), but i don't fancy Burnley despite their good defensive record, and i don't feel any in the play offs could cope any better than us, saints and Ipswich have.

There's an easy scenario where we don't have much interest in our players and go into it with Hermansen Ricardo Nelson Vestegaard Justin Winks. Ndidi Fatawu. El Khannouss. Mavididi Daka Whilst long term, it won't help us at all, a competent coach wins the league with that side.
