With the window now closed, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Alfie House and Tom Prentki to deliver their verdict on Southampton’s summer business.

Did Dragan Solak and the owners deliver on their promise to build a team as good as last season? The panel rate the window and discuss the arrivals of James Ward-Prowse, Keven Schlotterbeck and Zach Abbott, the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Ramsdale, Sam Edozie’s situation and whether Saints have left themselves short of depth—particularly in attack.

The team also reviews the 1–1 draw away at Birmingham City. Was a point a fair result, who was responsible for the equaliser and which players strengthened their case for a start this weekend?

Finally, Kyle from the Stacey West Podcast joins us to preview Saturday’s visit to newly promoted Lincoln City. We discuss Lincoln’s impressive rise, how they may approach the game and whether Ward-Prowse and Matsuki should come into the Southampton starting XI.

Let us know your rating for Saints’ transfer window and your score prediction for Lincoln in the comments.
