@SFCJoeyy_ @Saint2hotty They rejected 15m from Lille in January so no we couldn't

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SirGowen I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Steve pushing for us to be expelled from the final would have happened regardless of how tough the league was next year 😂

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

I honestly think there will be about 8 or 9 teams right now who think they can get automatics

West Ham
Burnley
Wolves
Millwall
Southampton
Middlesbrough
Wrexham
Norwich
Birmingham

Will be stronger than last year that's for sure

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@Sunlundy He's competing with Timber and Dumfries.

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@AlexComber_ Based on last season's system he's more of a lw. Obviously not better than Scienza and for me levels behind Edozie as well. Would prefer a loan to a dominant L1 side than 5 minute cameos in dead games next year

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@AlexComber_ I think in an ideal world if you were building a system around him he'd be the number 10 in a 4-2-3-1 and go into the left half space, and play up front in a 4-4-2 OOP. Unfortunately he isn't good enough to start for us and that isn't the way our 10 operates

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@CJ_7171 Oh no that won't be the top 9, but I'd be stunned if a team got top 2 that wasn't in that list. Tbh I would be surprised at a couple of that list too

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@DavidKingy1982 We've apologised to the fans, the clubs involved and the employees who the fuck is left?

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

If you’re keeping Tonda Eckert you can’t half arse it. No more apologies, we want to be nasty, horrible buggers to play against. Chants against the footballing authorities every week (never mind how valid) and unapologetically signing “we’ve got Eckert” from minute one #SaintsFC

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@layton543636 They have to be favourites yes

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@Christi26180904 Yeah I'm kind of assuming Wrexham drop £30m again

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@Christi26180904 See I would put Millwall below Norwich, Boro and Wrexham for next year. They are ordered by where they came last year

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ben061076 Meaning chants against them? Not outside of the Boro games no

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFCMart @TheStatsSaint Yeah that's my point, I'm guessing his injury record in the last 2 seasons is what the key factor has been

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

Probably the right call with his fitness but a big call to let a player of Will Smallbone's quality walk for free in the Championship #SaintsFC

[SaintsExtra @SaintsExtra]

🚨 Will Smallbone (26) will leave Southampton as a free agent this summer, after 18 years at the club #saintsfc @talkSPORT

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFCMart @TheStatsSaint We had a year option but he’s not and never has been a dm. We will need an Azaz backup though

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ChapelKopArise @SouthamptonFC He's 31 in September, Wellington is under contract for another couple of seasons. 5.5 years younger and better AND wasn't last making £80k a week

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ThanksIllot @cj_garrett @LewisVocey I mean he did cut it at an autos challenging side

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ConnorWHU_ Cirkin > Scarles

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ConnorWHU_ Nothing special but as a backup in this league you won't do much better

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ConnorWHU_ For my money he was top 3 in the league in 23/24. Summerville won POTS but I actually think he, KDH and Ampadu were more deserving.

To say Bree is lightyears behind him is true, but also nuts because you can make a case he was 2nd best right back in the league this year (MVE)

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@cj_garrett @LewisVocey He’s a top half/playoff championship midfielder who wouldn’t be out of reach for an ambitious project slightly below that.
