Comment | Saints To Launch Summer Squad Reshuffle
at 14:58:27
Sanguin is absolutely right. As I see it, the only (more or less) confirmed leavers are: Boufal; Cedric; Clasie; Bertrand (likely, if we can cash in and Targett is considered a natural successor ) and Long.
Carillo and Forster are the wild card possible leavers. There's next to no chance of Tadic or Austin leaving.
Priorities are new 1st choice right back, athletic CB, and number 10. If it was up to me I would break the bank for Hakim Ziyech as we could outbid Roma (would prefer spending £30 mill on him than Promes). |

"Knowing our approach and our transfer policy I'd say we far more likely to get a CB who can also play in midfield (e.g. Koulibaly) than someone like van Dijk who just plays centre-back. Remember that Alderweireld played in midfield quite a few times last season. "
I'm stick of us signing "versatile" players. Why make a point of targeting Jack-of-all-trades-type players. We have a sufficient squad as is; first teamers should be specialists. Toby isn't a midfielder and it was ludicrous to continually play him in midfield at the expense of a defensive mid like Reed. He really wasn't very good in midfield (remember Man City?). There's no room for the utility man in a first 11 prem side.
It's telling and worrying that Koeman doesn't trust his other midfielders. Rant over.

Comment | Derby County Interested In Harrison Reed

There's play and there's play. Davis can't play the deep-lying role as shown in the last two games. It's unfortunate that Koeman doesn't rate Reed; calling him "not strong technically" and playing Toby in the midfield over him last season.
I'd be very surprised if Koeman doesn't revert back to a 4-3-3 to shore things up, in which case Reed does has a decent chance of making the first team. With (hopefully) more European games around the corner it would be madness to let him go on loan. |

I don't want to hear anymore talk about Andros Townsend. Stop harking back to his England performances. He has one trick where he cuts inside and shoots with his left. He is of a similar ilk to James Mclean who was found out very quickly in the Premier League.
Spurs fans think he's garbage and it would be a travesty if we bought him. |
