I understand what you're saying, Nick, and I agree that's he's probably doing his best, but the nicer we are, the longer he stays. He's made more than enough money now to retire a lot more comfortably than the rest of us. Maybe he could play somewhere more his level, like Eastleigh, if he wants to continue playing.
The time has come for the fans to make it very clear to the club something that they don't seem to know: we urgently need a new goalkeeper or we're going to be relegated again. Your front page articles get quite a lot of coverage, Nick, so perhaps you could headline the next one, "Why we need a new goalkeeper now." It might help and it's better to do it now than halfway through the season, when it will be too late.

The best we looked in pre-season was when Dibling and Amo-Ameyaw were on the pitch together. They combine together so well. [Post edited 31 Jul 23:55]

We've got the worst goalie in the land
We've got the worst goalie in the land
We've got the worst goalie in the land
And that's why we're going down
This should be sung in our remaining pre-season games until Russell Martin finally gets the message. Of course, it won't be and Russell Martin will remain totally oblivious to the need for a new goalkeeper.
Why he can't see it, when everyone else can, I don't know. [Post edited 31 Jul 21:37]

That's nothing. Pompey took 600 to MK Dons, which will be enough for them to start boasting all over the internet that they took thousands there. |

I think we all agree that a new goalkeeper has to be our No.1 priority in this transfer window (well, at least I do). [Post edited 30 Jul 19:45]

Pat, you have to be at least as good as Vestergaard to play regularly for Denmark. Maybe O'Riley isn't up to that standard. He is well behind Højbjerg (81 caps) in the central midfield pecking order, like Ross Stewart is well behind Che Adams in the pecking order for Scotland.
I've never seen O'Riley play, so he may be absolutely brilliant, for all I know. Let's hope he is if he's going to be our record signing. [Post edited 30 Jul 19:19]

We had some very good ones under Bates and McMenemy, like Ron Davies, Kevin Keegan and Dave Watson.
Wasn't Perry Groves our record signing under Branfoot? That didn't go well. |

Frank Warren wants it at St Mary's, but if he wants to fill it for Ryan Garner and Royston Barney-Smith, he needs to wait another couple of years. It's too soon in their careers. Of course, the other option is to have Mark Chamberlain on the card as well. In fact, that may well be what he's thinking, but I'm not sure the police would allow that to happen, as there would be more fighting in the crowd than in the ring. If he added Billam-Smith as well, he'd be sure to sell out St Mary's. Lewis "The Saint" Edmondson should be part of this too.
What a night that would be.
What is most likely to happen? A Mark Chamberlain world title fight, with Ryan Garner and Royston Barney-Smith on the card, at Fratton Park or St Mary's. [Post edited 29 Jul 21:15]

Paying De Gea £10 million for 2 years, if he agrees to it, would be well worth it, when you consider how much we've paid for Bazunu (including transfer fee) and McCarthy, and he's the only one of those three who will keep us up, which is worth more than £100 million to the Club.
If money is his main concern, which is understandable as he's at the end of his career, I'm surprised he hasn't gone to Saudi. [Post edited 29 Jul 10:44]

This fight definitely isn't going the distance (he says) So, it definitely is. What do I know?
Good fight though.
But, that's Joe Joyce's career over.

Garner is a big Saints fans. He was wearing SFC badges on his boots tonight, He is ranked No.2 in the UK now. He could well have a world title fight in the future. |

Ryan Garner is fighting for the WBC International Super Featherweight title at Wembley now. It's on TNT Sports 1. He is up against a tough opponent, Archie Sharp, who is undefeated in 25 fights.
Update: Archie Sharp is not undefeated any more. [Post edited 27 Jul 22:35]

Monpellier 1-3 Saints
Goals: Sulemana, Dibling, Harwood-Bellis
3 wins: a good start to our pre-season
So far our best players in the pre-season have been Sugawara, Dibling and Amo-Ameyaw. They've looked a class above the rest. Our worst have been our goalkeepers, Lis & McCarthy, who look pub league standard, and Mara, who scores the occasional tap-in but does nothing else. These 3 should not play in the Premier League as they are nowhere near good enough.
We still need to buy a goalkeeper and a striker; we don't need any more midfielders. [Post edited 27 Jul 13:14]

The Turks don't want him:
Trabzonspor boss comments on Wout Weghorst interest
Often, managers aren't keen to name specific individuals when talking about transfer targets, but Avci wasn't shy about naming Weghorst as a potential option and namechecked Southampton loanee Paul Onuachu as the type of signing he was keen to avoid.
He told Isci Haber (via Turkish Football) "We did not get enough of Onuachu last season."
