To be fair, until you pointed it out, nothing jumped out at me, now that you have my OCD is scratching at the back of my brain like mad…thanks

Tell me about it. It’s one thing having faith in your players but come on.
Thanks for this.
Not everyone will agree, but Semmens - not the first time - comes across very well again. Particularly on the issue of Ings choosing to go to Villa, and on his relationship with Gao and Katherine Liebherr.

Don’t bother, it’s clickbait, this is the pertinent bit
9. Saints could beat Magies to the Ox
Southampton have been named the new favourites to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Liverpool, ahead of Newcastle United and West Ham. The £22m-rated ace began his career with the Saints, and also spent time with Arsenal before joining the Reds in 2017. (SkyBet)
Yeah I quite like Semmens.

This comment within a SDE article today (Ralph on JWP)
“Every team would want him but for us he’s beyond that level.
I’ve got in front of me the six or seven players that signed this summer, I think at least half of them say they want to join for the manager, the city, the club. But all of them say ‘and to play with James Ward-Prowse’.
“Tino (Livramento) asked the same question, ‘he’s going to be here isn’t he, because I want to play with him.’

That was actually Semmens who said that… 
And just like that…
Brendon up to his old tricks of signing Saints players. Two of our back four from last season after we shipped 5000 goals…

Do you think they were purposely shit so the Saints would let them go when Brenda came knocking?
Rumour is 5 or 6 clubs are “in” for Vestergaard one of which is Wet Spam, which will help the price hopefully
Well that’s going to be interesting because last night Semmens actually named Wham as a team we won’t be selling to. Clearly he’s forgotten Fonte but it’ll be interesting all the same.
Deal agreed with Blackburn £5m for Obafemi

£5m for Obafemi, £18m for Vest, a little bit left over from Ings, and a lot available for wages. £15m on a CB and a DM - all good.
You sure about Obafemi?
The delay with the Vestergaard deal was us insisting on a clause that he has to play against us even if all their other players are fit.
