OF COURSE IT'S HIM 😎 [1-0]

[Wringo @charliewring1]

I have realised that how you rate Cameron Bragg really is the true litmus test of if you actually know/watch football as a saints fan.

Baffling to me how so many on here don’t rate Bragg 😂 #SaintsFC

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

KEVENNN you beauty 🔥

After a slow and shaky first half Saints go into half-time with the lead 🔴⚪️

Taylor Harwood-Bellis has completed a permanent move to Aston Villa.

Thank you for everything, Taylor ❤️

🚨 Henrik Falchener excluded from Viking’s matchday squad to face Aalesund.

Southampton and Wrexham are both chasing the defender.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Performance today!

What a response from Tuesday night! 🔴⚪️

Larin & Azaz were brilliant, but Cam Bragg gets my MOTM. 👏 So much confidence and made it look easy. 🥶

And how good was it to see JWP back at St Mary’s? ❤️

Thoughts, Saints fans? 🤔

🏆 2026/27 Championship Predictions
My full 1–24 table prediction ahead of the new season…

Some bold calls, surprise packages and a few potential relegation battles.

Let’s get into it. 🧵

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

Brampton Bagsman scores goals🇨🇦

Slow start from Saints, but we’ve dominated since that Millwall goal. 🔴⚪️

Bragg has been the standout player for me this first half. 👏

Schlotterbeck straight in! 🧱

What do we think Saints fans? 🤔

Looks like we’ve got a proper ball-playing centre-back on our hands. 👌🔴⚪️

📊 A little look at James Ward-Prowse’s stats from his final season as a Saint (2022/23) 👇

⚽️ 9 goals
🎯 4 assists
📈 1,920 passes

⏱️ 3,372 mins

Some player to have back this season. ❤️‍🔥

#SaintsFC #SFC

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

I don’t think there can be any complaints with this one. 👀🔴⚪️

Hopefully Saints can get this one over the line in time for Saturday and have him available on the bench for the return against Millwall at St Mary’s. 🤞

[SaintsExtra @SaintsExtra]

🚨 Southampton will pay West Ham less than £1m to bring James Ward-Prowse back to the club #saintsfc @Plettigoal

[SaintsExtra @SaintsExtra]

🚨 Southampton are closing in on the re-signing of James Ward-Prowse from West Ham & will pay a nominal fee — he is set to take the No. 30 shirt that he debuted in #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

@gaz_manley I do agree with you pal, in the most ideal situation it’s keep THB and pair him with one of the new players. For me even if THB stays I think we need both the centre backs.

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

Potentially another centre-back addition for Saints 👀

I’d be very happy with Falchener and Schlotterbeck coming in, although Falchener would likely be the replacement for Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

What do we think, Saints fans? 🤔🔴⚪️

#SFC #SaintsFC #SouthamptonFC

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

@AlexComber_ Hopefully around £3 Million for JWP, and that’s £25 million well spent!

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

@McKeeChristian I don’t think 31 is necessarily that old, Cyle Larin is also that age! If we get it for the right fee and wage I don’t see why we wouldn’t go for it.

[Ronan Cooley @RCooleySportsJ]

This would be a brilliant bit of business from Saints. 🔴⚪️

James Ward-Prowse would fill that gap in midfield and what a homecoming it could be for a Southampton legend. 👀

Saints fans, what do we think? 🤔
