Summer transfer window 2023

Since we are skint, I think a few free agents would be good

Maitland-Niles (Average at best but plays midfield and fullback)
Moussa Dembele - Can't be worse than Maupay
Adama Traore - he is fast

Ward prowse - slower than Andre gomes. Don’t we have enough slow plodders in the team? Plus he’s not young.

Agreed if he was that good he'd have been playing for a bigger club by now

If only there was an example of a boss player staying at Southampton for his whole career!

Good player is Ward-Prowse. We stand zero chance of getting him though. Would cost too much and would probably get better offers.

This would likely cost 80-90 million, there is no way we could afford that

How you figure we can’t afford that?

Not in the same league and just because le tissier didn't want to move doesn't make this fella any where near the same level. Thank god we have no chance of getting him.

McNeil and Garner take a great set piece so we're not lacking there.

Was impressed with McNeil’s corners in the second half of the season, and I’m excited to see Garner take on more FK responsibility. Purchasing him for a low price and developing him into that role is exactly why we should be avoiding overpaying for someone like JWP.

He’s 29 in a couple of months and looks like he’s running in quick sand. Kind of signing that got us in this mess in the first place.

At any point, any top club could’ve taken him off Southampton. Same with Sigurdsson, there is a reason none of them have gone near him.

Spending no money in January despite being in a deep relegation battle was all the evidence we needed

He looked more composed infront of goal than Maupay during Soccer Aid to be fair to him

I hope Dyche puts together a dirty dozen type team.

A bunch of Waifs, strays and misfits.

Gels them together in a united cause and let’s them rip.

That would be amazingly good fun and would bring the club back together… once BK departs of course!

I think a lot of the ffp stuff should of dropped off now as we are surly allowed to make signings considering Gordon and Kean went, Richy went and we have got rid of high wages players like Mina.
