The captain is required to hand out the boiled sweets before the plane takes off. |  |

With his accuracy record, would you trust him to pass those around?? |  |

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 20:23 - Jul 19 with 2342 views | Monksway | Wouldn't be surprised to see Edwards, Charles, Edozie, Dibling, Archer and Fernandes all part of the squad for Spain but sold by September. |  | |  |

Let’s break this down a bit Fernandes is absolute quality we all know that. If he stays we are going to have a hell of a player for the league. I think he likes it here but money talks. He has to be worth 50 million though surely.? Can you see anyone paying that at the moment ? I have no doubt that Dibling will make the big time eventually but he needs a season in the championship where he can play every week , if he went to someone like spurs (I doubt they’d pay the money anyway as Levy is a tight arse) he’d be a bench warmer . Dibling worth 30-40 million ? who would pay that ? he hasn’t done enough yet . The other players mentioned here are good championship players and it’s highly unlikely a premier league team would come in for them so they may as well stay at a club who are favourites for promotion . However we all know that money talks with this club. The good thing now though is saints seem to be standing their ground over agreed sale prices . [Post edited 20 Jul 7:01]

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 07:45 - Jul 20 with 1978 views | mushinexile | I'm sorry. Fernandes is a very good footballer but fifty million?? No. He hasn't the track record yet. A good year with us and he could be made into a leader and in a year's time, a Premiership captain ready to drive Saints on. Dibling has attitude problems. If he is too good for this place then he will be too good for anywhere else. I accept that his agent might be at the root of it but it is a team game and no misfit will be worth 30 million elsewhere. If he had got his head down and worked hard, it would be a completely different story but he has been the Next Big Thing for too long. |  |

In a way you’ve kind of agreed with me .Dibling and Fernandes haven’t really done enough yet to get the big clubs really excited therefore I don’t think they will be sold in this window. Fernandes might not be worth 50 million yet but maybe Saints would put that sort of figure on him to warn others off. I can see the likes of THB ,Aribo and Bednarek leaving to release funds though. I could be completely wrong of course. [Post edited 20 Jul 9:06]

We’ve got the quality for this league just need to keep hold of it . |  |

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 12:25 - Jul 20 with 1591 views | Monksway | Really hope you are right and SR make up the relegation financial shortfall by selling Ramsdale, Bednarek, THB, Aribo etc whilst keeping the younger ones with potential Edwards, Charles, Fernandes, Dibling etc. Unfortunately, if we are still £70 million short at the end of August those will be the players that have buyers regardless of the managers plans. |  | |  |
Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 06:11 - Jul 21 with 1180 views | PatfromPoole | Looking at today’s Southampton Echo, which is actually a decent read on Saints, it looks fairly likely that Bednarek will not be on the plane. Whereas Charlie Taylor seems to be pretty highly thought of. Would be surprised if he was allowed to leave to join Norwich. |  |

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 06:38 - Jul 21 with 1155 views | mushinexile | Selling Ramsdale will be a mistake. He is a good keeper. We are going to need one if we are to be promoted and our current squad doesn't have another. |  |

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 09:35 - Jul 21 with 972 views | Monksway | I've no real idea how Saints finances look or how much they need to raise from player sales and a reduced wage bill but I'll be surprised if it's much short of £100 million. Last time we sold Livramento, Lavia, JWP and Tella for about £140 million plus Salisu, Caletta-Carr, Perraud, Lyanco, Diallo and a good few loans to reduce the wage bill. We then used the loan system extensively ourselves for THB, Downes, Brooks, Frazer. I think we only bought Manning. Maybe it won't be as bad this time but I'll be surprised if Still can keep the limited list of saleable assets evenif he wants to. |  | |  |
Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 15:32 - Jul 21 with 766 views | PatfromPoole | Seems that the following players have travelled: Goalkeepers Gavin Bazunu Alex McCarthy Dylan Moody Aaron Ramsdale Defenders James Bree Ronnie Edwards Ryan Manning Joshua Quarshie Joachim Kayi Sanda Jack Stephens Yukinari Sugawara Charlie Taylor Welington Nathan Wood Midfielders Joe Aribo Shea Charles Mateus Fernandes Moses Sesay Will Smallbone Forwards Cameron Archer Adam Armstrong Ben Brereton Díaz Damion Downs Samuel Edozie Ryan Fraser Jay Robinson Ross Stewart Exclusions:- Harwood-Bellis Downes Dibling Matsuki Bednarek I think all of those had injuries except for Bednarek, who I presume now has a very busy agent. |  |

Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 16:35 - Jul 21 with 620 views | Monksway | If you include the injured players as possible squad members we are still at 31. Only Bednarek and ABK, who have played no part in pre-season so far, are definitely excluded unless Dibling, Matzuki, THB and Downes are absent for reasons other than injury. |  | |  |
Squad for Spain trip looks like a bit of a cull on 16:49 - Jul 21 with 582 views | StAnt | Not much of the promised cull there to be honest. All fairly predictable and the refuse continues to be carted around rather than dumped. Hard to read much into the names on the travelling squad and most omissions are due to injuries. Not the startling revelation we were led to expect. Still, at least Fernandes has travelled. |  | |  |

That midfield looks SO lightweight!! Basically Fernandes, Aribo and Charles are ok but thats it with Downes to come back in We need to get shopping ASAP |  | |  |
