🚨🧠 | Where Has the Transfer Speculation Over Tyler Dibling Gone? From tricky contract talks to a hefty price tag—here’s why interest has cooled and why Southampton are keeping him focused on the new season Great piece this by @AlexComber_ #SaintsFC lowertiers.co.uk/where-has-the-…
Big week of business ahead for #SaintsFC. Bednarek is finalising his Porto move, a few others would ideally be shifted. A couple of creative players wouldn't go amiss either. The squad will be down to 26 or 27 by Saturday. Make or break time really.
This is the kind of move that will keep Sunderland up 🤯
🚨🔴⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Granit Xhaka to Sunderland, here we go! Deal agreed between all parties involved. Understand fee will be €20m, contract until 2027. Green light from Bayer Leverkusen for the player to fly today and complete his move to #SAFC, one more ambitious signing.
🚨✍️ Another slow week for #SaintsFC: • Promotion hero set for exit 🇵🇱 • Club holding firm on high fees 💵 • Late-Window chaos incoming? 👀 🔗: substack.com/@christianlove…
Will Still confirmed that Jay Robinson is really pushing to start against Wrexham in two weeks. He's certainly #SaintsFC's most exciting left winger.
I'm disappointed that Will Still has kept needing to emphasize the bloatedness of the #SaintsFC squad in his interviews. It would be nice if a few sales could be finalised, it seems he is constantly repeating the same message that these outgoings have got to happen.
What we saw from #SaintsFC today: 💪 Patterns of play emerging ✅️ Robinson should be starting ❌️ Lack of creativity in the squad 💰 A few players need to be sold Overall it was a fairly positive outing, hindered by mistakes from the defence.
Interesting shape when in possession for #SaintsFC. Armstrong inverting to an area that will really suit Tyler Dibling when he comes into the team. Sugawara will benefit from going high. Back three formed with the left back filling in, which suits Welington well. ⬇️

I can see a need for Damion Downs in this system. Archer not good enough in the air, Ross Stewart not mobile enough.
I've been patient with my views on Ben Brereton-Diaz, but I hope that is the last we see of him as a starter.
Unsure about Ronnie Edwards at right back when Sugawara would be one of the best crossers in the league. Also wish Robinson got a bit more game time! Still 2 weeks to go before anything is decided! #SaintsFC
Your SAINTS ✊
The kind of atmosphere St Mary's should aspire to have next season. Making it a fortress. ⚔️ #SaintsFC

Watching Leicester's pre-season friendly, they seem similar in ways to Southampton, in that they are very direct, though don't utilise their full backs as much. Without the ball, Leicester are much more patient than the high-pressing Saints, but have their moments!
