    The two names who interested me in the Saints list as well as Aribo were Alex McCarthy and Charlie Taylor 

    Would McCarthy be someone who could push Kaminski? Taylor is a solid left back / wing back who could provide depth in that position.
    Not a chance on the keeper. Saints fans in general do not rate McCarthy. He had a bit of a run in the Prem years ago and they turned on him pretty badly because he's not great and since then he's generally managed to get a few games here and there because Gavin Bazunu is a stack of dress shoes disguised as a man, Aaron Ramsdale is Aaron Ramsdale and Joe Lumley is one of the worst goalkeepers ever to grace the EFL. McCarthy owes his long Saints career to Southampton's almost pathological inability to pick a decent keeper. He's also 36 years old and is finished at any reasonable level. If we're going to bring someone in to replace Kaminski it won't be an ancient reserve who had played 23 league games over the past 4 years

    Is everyone forgetting that Aribo did the dirty on us by signing for Rangers, when out of contract, out of the jurisdiction of the FA. The jocks made the money out of him when selling to the Saints.

    Well for me anyone who finishes a contract and makes it clear that he will not sign a new one is not wanted back.

    Why? He went from playing in L1 to a European final, I wouldn’t begrudge anyone that

    Wasn’t McCarthy the keeper for Yeovil in *that* game?
