Southampton confirm loan signing of Newcastle United's Ryan Fraser
well, now.
looks like Southampton are renegotiating on the Che Adams deal.. asking for £18m now. Rumors are also swirling that Southampton balked on Everton's proposed payment schedule - they were looking to defer a good portion of the payment at a much later date. Is Everton cash strapped?

Downes in (on loan) from West Ham.
A pretty important signing as we needed a quality CM to replace JWP.
Wasn't getting a lot of playing time at West Ham. Has history with Russell Martin (Swansea)
Plymouth 1 - 2 Southampton
Late game winner from Che Adams who likely will leave for Crystal Palace by the end of August. Ugh.
Can't keep a clean sheet.
Pro: the match was televised on ESPN+
Con: the match was at 6:30am (groan)
7 points in 3 matches. Already more than a quarter of the points we got all last season.
2 wins in 3 matches. Already a third of the total wins we got all of last season.
Supposedly, Flynn Downes (DM) is supposed to come on loan from West Ham any day now.
Russell Martin has mentioned him twice in press conferences as if he was on the squad and a medical was supposed to happen two days ago, but it was put off due to "food poisoning".
starting to get a bit fishy.

Romeo Lavia: Chelsea complete £58m deal to sign Southampton midfielder
Well done, Saints.
bought him from City 1 year ago for £14m.
Put a £50m evaluation on him earlier this summer and held strong.
Laughed at Liverpool's initial bid of £37m.
Scoffed at Liverpool's second bid of £41m.
Rejected Liverpool's 3rd bid at £45m.
Got to believe this is a record signing for a Championship player.
i say we end up in 4th.. somewhere between 55 and 65
overall though, Ii think we are on track to be the hottest summer (june, july, august) ever in Austin - even hotter overall than in 2011.
I feel like i have been hibernating all summer. i think the whole family is likely iron deficient.
