"Alex Crook says Aaron Ramsdale and Tyler Dibling are the only two Southampton players who are good enough to play in the Premier League." And I think the only reason we got Ramsdale was fan pressure and the fact the people in charge of recruitment at the Club didn't get the injured Dutch goalkeper who was their first choice.
Although a few others might be good enough to sit on the benches of teams at the bottom of the league, there seems to have been a massive failure of recruitment both at managerial and player level.

How many of them would even get into the starting lineups of the other 2 teams in the bottom 3, Wolves and Palace? | |

He's about right isn't he?
Ramsdale may get in a mid-table PL side, Downs maybe lower half if lucky, the rest are pretty much Championship level, and our fans wonder why we're struggling 
When we got relegated 2 years back, only Lavia and JWP went on to join PL clubs, the rest were Championship level at best, that's why no PL clubs brought any of them.
Not rocket science is it? |  | | |

Absolutely right. The last time we went down, we brought in a load of Man City reserves who weren't good enough, along with Armstrong and Adams up front who weren't good enough. We still have Arnstrong, who surprise surprise still.isnt good enough and a 7 million pound.player from Blackburn who isnt good enough. | |

And so is KWP. Even though, by our standards, he has looked like a very skilful player, no Premier League side wanted him when he was available last year, and teams often target him as a defensive weak link when they play us. | |

Its a major concern that players form appears to be going backwards .
Where is our much vaulted youth academy?
The problems mainly lie off the field than on it. | | | |

You’ve got me there. But I still, for some unknown reason, believe our team could stay up with the right manager. Delusion may it be. | | | |

That’s just an opinion and his isn’t worth much.
IMO (which is not worth much ) Ramsdale , Walker -Peters, Fernandes, Dibling, are definitely prem quality
Cornet has already proven himself in the premier league for Burnley and possibly Downes and Aribo could be if used properly , i know many don’t rate Aribo which I don’t get, I think he’s decent.
The worrying thing is THB and Bednarek are just ok and not really great week in week out so our defence is rubbish and so is our attack. We need to get rid of Ankerson he is the main reason for poor recruitment. [Post edited 26 Oct 8:38]
