A PS to my RO, as of yesterday afternoon Poch was trying to get a behind closed doors match during the week to have a look at players just back from WC

I know you probably hate being asked questions but has Musacchio been mentioned to you as a potential target?

Just seeing if all the ITKs are on the same page :p

Would much rather we not wait until January for a winger in order to sign Rodriguez. Too much can happen in 4 months. Plus, players brought in mid season dont historically have that big of an impact. We need a winger now! Not 4 months from now! We want to bring in Rodriguez in 4 months, great. As long as that doesnt stop us from signing someone now. Sign someone now and sell Lennon. Sign Rodriguez in January and sell Townsend.

Pretty clear that the defender being sold is Naughton and the midfielder is one of the 4 listed earlier(if Schneiderlin comes). The start of the season thing cant be right since the chairman said Schneiderlin and Rodriguez will still be Southampton players on September 1st. Only way for him to save face is if they are not sold.

We still need to bring in a first team center back, right back(if it is Naughton being sold) and a winger this window. Dier is probably going to be a cup player with some u21 appearances. Dont think he'll play much PL this year. Same with Veljkovic(if he's not loaned out). We need a first teamer to go along with Kaboul, Verts, Vlad and Dawson(think he's going to keep refusing to leave, unfortunately).

I don't think a winger is something we "need". Yes, it is a position where it would be nice to have an upgrade but it's not essential at this moment in time IMO. If in January we find that we are not scoring enough goals and there is not enough contribution from the players we play as a LW, you could be right.

Uhhh, yes we do. We have Lamela and Chadli. Then we have 2 english wingers who are, to be blunt, useless and Ceballos(who seems to be going off on loan again). LW was one of our biggest needs to begin the window and we have not signed anyone.

Anyone remember my meltdown over Poch?

From everything ive heard, its well and truly over with now. Sorry Poch and sorry all those that backed him over FdB. The vibe from inside the club right now is actually fantastic.

I have every confidence in all players he wants to keep or sell. Even if he tried to buy Jack Wheelchair now I'd back him ;)

Roll on the season and COYS
Felt & feel exactly the same but wheelchair is taking it bit too far methinks!!

I think JJ's the one who doesn't like it. Grey Fox has been more open IIRC.
It's nothing to do with people not liking it and everything to do with the fact that people treat everything JJ says as ITK and cannot understand he is also allowed to have an opinion just like any other fan iirc. So threads get silly with Q&A sessions as people get excited/angry for no reason. Also people don't give the guy 2 mins, he gets spammed to f**k with questions.

We don't usually hear much about outgoings until they actually happen, in my recollection. There's plenty of time to find homes for those surplus to requirements before the deadline.

You may be right, but it just seems odd that we are bloating the squad so much without too many sales on the horizon
