I also hope we go back in for Gibbs-White. I’m fine getting embarrassed again if it doesn’t work. He’s worth it. His versatility would be huge for us considering all the injuries. AM: We have Maddison returning from ACL, Xavi out until January with an ACL, and Kulu who is a mystery. We definitely need another AM, but someone who is versatile enough to play other spots once the above names are healthy. RW: Kudus out until winter, Odobert out until winter. MGW can also fill-in there. So yeah, he makes too much sense. Also, we are such a mess lmao
'You legend. Manager loved it' - Southampton's Spygate WhatsApps revealed Spies using WhatsApp doesn't seem very realistic or maybe I'm misled by Tom Clancy.
I think we’re gonna try to drag this out while we evaluate other options. I’m ok keeping Palhinha if we can also bring in someone like Hackney. Another thing that makes it tough to evaluate our roster is that we were so poorly coached for months.
I might be mad, but whilst I think he’s good and got potential, I really don’t know if I think he’s “four massive clubs battling for him” good. Am I totally off here?
I think he’s good enough for any of those clubs and they’re all probably interested but it’s also likely him/his agent/Bournemouth driving up talk and interest to get more money.
Kroupi rejected a Portugal World Cup call-up. I mean, I get it a bit as he was born in France, but I question that decision due to how stacked France seem to be of late. I understand the view that he must be confident in his ability but yeah. I just hope the lad knows how to make a decision. I guess you could argue that he does as he signed for Bournemouth in the first place? I'm being a contrarian to myself a lot here lol

Where do we think Rashford will end up? I’d guess Barca is still an option, but would lean more towards him going elsewhere. Another English team? Bayern?
Southampton have really covered themselves in glory with this. After lying to the investigation, covering things up and then trying to act like they weren't that much in the wrong, they've then had a pop at the commission investigating them, trying to suggest they're impartial over some unbelievably tenuous stuff. Shameful stuff. Eckert sounds like an utter shitbag as well. Says plenty about them that they've not sacked him yet.
Aside from Qatar, I got 3 fun teams, though I assume they won't be anywhere close to winning the whole thing. Also, why am I the only one with no name in the overview? (it's Holger btw)
Wtf, I don't know anyone with that name personally. The only one I can think about right now is Otto Rehhagel, and he is 87 years old...
I just thought an o name would be good because of the orange and it’d be more fun than Hans or Klaus or something. Never would have guessed Holger honestly
