I'd say we stay up and if this gets posted . Only way to replace rice is onana and ward-prowse, then need a centre half, 2 full backs and a striker to compete along with a new manager . I'd have lamptey brighton rb, bassey ajax Lb. Cb Maguire or wan-bissaka, Up top I'd go embolo or lassina traore can't see much more we would get up top who could do a job . We need pace and strength

Agreed IRONTodd and that was a pretty spot on post Pace in the premier league scares defenders. I like the names mentioned and just to add, we need a new manager who encourages and plays our youth.

Or that nzola wouldn't be a bad shout, would love tammy Abraham but can't see it

Wow that's some list there. It's going to depend on who our manager is. If its moyes I reckon micheal Keane and maguire will be targeted and any other has been forwards available

If Moyes gets another season we are in serious trouble

Onana must be regretting his choice now. I wonder if he has a relegation clause in his contract. He would be an excellent replacement for Rice when he moves on.

Strange comment, Oshee. The lad is an excellent footballer, who chose not to come to us, like many before him.

He would improve our side.

If FRANK Lampard (who didn;t last long) hadn't sweet talked him, he would have joined us, but then again, who would you choose out of FRANK and MOYES? It wouldn't be MOYES. He is about as Charismatic as Grass Cuttings. Good riddance when he is gone

10.) 04 May 2023
04 May 2023 12:53:58
That's basically what I was going to say. We spent all summer chasing ONANA and last minute he chose Everton

11.) 04 May 2023
04 May 2023 16:38:13
If Southampton are relegated we need to move quick (which we are never inclined to do) . Caballero, walker Peters, benarek, Adam Armstrong, che Adams, Paul onuachu, ward prowse to name but a few

12.) 04 May 2023
04 May 2023 17:16:25
I wouldn’t take any of them mentioned, not one.

Their best players are Bella Kotchap or Lavia.

I am with you Mike on the above names, if we sign MCGUIRE I think I'd rather watch the youngsters what's your views on him Mike I wouldn't go anywhere near mcguire.

At least it won't be MOYES or Newman recruiting in the summer. The board are apparently unwilling to give them another Penny to spend so either MOYES goes or we will have the same squad next year :-)

One club we do not wish to buy many players from are Southampton. If they are not good enough for the Saints, then they are hardly going to progress us! Ward-Prowse £50m is the exception. Wan-Bissaka £30m would be an excellent buy from Man Utd and Philips £40m from City would be decent. I think we may enter the race for Diaz from Blackburn, although he'll probably want to go to Spain.
Those going are: Rice and Scammacca, which would give us approximately £120m. I also feel Ariola will leave to become the French No.1. He'll obviously want to play each week.
I don't believe there will be too much trading. 3 in 3 out possibly.

Paulo fonseca?

Strong rumours that Fonseca will be Moyes’ replacement, no matter what. From what I’ve seen and heard, that’s a move in the right direction. Fingers crossed.

{Ed002's Note - Paulo Fonseca (C) Could look to the West Ham job if it becomes available. In my view he is a little over hyped.}

As luck would have it, Reims (Still) are playing Lille (Fonseca) tomorrow at 6pm (BST) . It’s being televised on BT Sport 4. That’ll give us a good pointer on the style of football employed by two names suggested as Moyes replacements.

Don't think we would have got Paqueta if we got Onana and I'd much rather have Paqueta than Onana who imo is inconsistent.

One player we were linked to I'd like us to go for would be enzo le fee. Papers linking him to everyone and as a potential replacement for Bellingham at Dortmund.

Paqueta is no longer playing like an Onanist. Lol

We'd do better with Gary Numan in recruitment
