ICYMI: Saints in advanced talks to sign goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on a permanent deal. Also pursuing the signing of striker Cyle Larin. Would be a brilliant start to the window.

@SaintsExtra Sell. Ramsdale will get a gig abroad I suspect. Bazunu will have to lose his ego and accept he isn't good enough for the championship. Maybe our friends down the road will take him as he was amazing there apparently in league one which is where they will end up again
๐จ SaintsExtra understands that #SaintsFC Academy midfielder George Kift (14) - who played and scored for the clubโs U18s side last season, and is regarded as one of the best in England for his age - could be set for a move away from the club, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool interested.

When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.
Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."
@AlfieHouseEcho They can probably sell Leo and Casper for at least โฌ50m. Use half of it to buy reinforcements and hope they can persuade the others to stay.
@AlfieHouseEcho Do you think they are trying to mitigate the punishment by doing these video interviews and therefore hoping they will indirectly soften the FAs stance over it? The siege mentality and deflecting the severity of case not exactly making the football fraternity soften towards us
@AlfieHouseEcho They are going to damage their reputation further if tonda ends up with a ban unless they are confident he will escape that level of punishment?
@AlfieHouseEcho The actual offences themselves in isolation are so minor and had very little impact from a sporting performance point of view but the way the club has handled it has been shambolic imo. EFL also not covered themselves in glory either.
@SouthamptonFC To back Tonda now saints must have an inkling that the FA will not ban him or they are indirectly applying pressure on the FA to mitigate the punishment
Someone at the club needs to carry the can so it shows that the club is taking full accountability + shows some remorse. I fail to see how we can properly move on and try to repair our damaged reputation if there is a lack of perceived regret and accountability #saintsfc
EXCLUSIVE
Southampton FCโs Serbian owner Dragan Solak tells me he will not sack Tonda Eckert over Spygate, despite the "mistake" the head coach made when authorising an espionage campaign against rival Championship clubs โฌ๏ธ
