Quick question for the eds,
With clyne reportedly wanting to leave would that mean we're in the market for a right back aswell? I remember a while ago you mentioning we were interested in Aina from Chelsea, anything still in that?

{Ed002's Note - No longer an option.}

Cedric soares from saints. A well trodden path, standard summer transfer!

Cheers.

Hopefully replace from within.

From within what? The magic chest of world class right backs we have?
Flanno needs to show a LOT more before he can be considered more than backup and while I like Randall a lot he is far from 1st team material just yet. Just don't tell me this is what the Mercado rumours were about.
Soares would actually make sense. Or a couple of other random names of good young RBs around Europe include Mitchell Weiser and João Cancelo. Although my choice would still be Seamus Coleman. ;)

Seamus Coleman's game has spontaneously deteriorated over the last couple of years not sure whether it's the injuries but he has really been struggling! Ironically I actually think Cedric would be the ideal signing think he is one of the best up and coming full backs in the league and he can actually defend and head the ball which is a rarity these days.

Sure Shane, another Southampton player. Brilliant!

We need to find the next Cedric and stop paying over the odds for other team players once they've proved themselves.

I agree about we need to get to these players before they're big names and finished articles, but then people say we can't use the likes of Flanagan and Randall. As a general group of fans we do all seem to want it both ways, big names, but not for big money, shrewd use of little known players but not from within our own club. Flanagan was good enough out of position to do a solid job so I'd have no issues with him playing and Clyne is still there. That gives Randall a season or 2 for continued development - I don't see the rush to buy players as well.
