@SouthamptonFC What we thought could be a stroke of genius by the board in appointing Will Still is looking a huge error in judgement now. Looks out of his depth. A squad full of potential and high investment at this level is being wasted.

Here's how Southampton's 25/26 first-team squad is set to look following the summer transfer window in England. 🏁

Context is important and Russell Martin did say the club can still do something in the transfer market if it’s urgent and they need to (which they do, so they must.) However…

If you’re just annoyed that the club still need to sell, then you are entitled to that feeling (it costing the club £50m to only make the XI as good as last season is less than ideal). But if you’re surprised, then you just haven’t been listening.

It’s been made clear by leadership all summer that the money isn’t there. £100m spent on mostly rubbish in 2022/23, £100m losses between June 2021-2023 and relegation affecting PSR limits + off-pitch ££ (MSD loan). Sales last summer merely filled the black hole.

Big concern for me is that the sellable assets are all still here. Bella-Kotchap, Onuachu, Kamaldeen, Walker-Peters (under strict ransom though). Going to be interesting to see how Saints navigate these next three weeks - need a lot in and out. Bigger conversation above my pay grade and understanding is whether these PSR rules are right for the game.
