Southampton Football Club revealed their ultimate XI as voted for by the supporters as part of a local exhibition at the SeaCity museum via their official website on Wednesday, and Saints fans were quick to react.
The St Mary’s faithful had been voting for their best team comprised of players that had made at least 150 appearances for the south coast outfit, with the results announced on Wednesday.
Peter Shilton, Jason Dodd, Claus Lundekvam, Jose Fonte, Wayne Bridge, Alan Ball, Matt Le Tissier, Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, Mick Channon and Alan Shearer made the cut, with Terry Paine and Kevin Keegan perhaps two of the biggest surprise absentees from the side as they only made the substitutes’ bench.
Southampton supporters, who have also had their say on the club’s reported interest in Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner, took to social media to give their thoughts on the ultimate XI, and while one described it as “outrageous”, another said “Wayne Bridge? Surely not?”
Since one bustling Ivorian has already made his name at the Etihad Stadium in recent years, there is no reason to suggest that Wilfried Bony can’t push on and become as popular as Yaya Toure, should his reported £30 million move to Manchester United push through.
The big-man certainly has his options open this January, as Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea are also said to be keen on landing Bony’s signature as the transfer window plays out.
Whilst such a move would seemingly signal heartbreak for the Liberty Stadium faithful, who have overseen their marquee centre-forward blossom in the Premier League with Swansea since his arrival in 2013, there are several other candidates available for Garry Monk should he eventually lose his main man.
With the January transfer window now upon us, here are FIVE noteworthy strikers who could potentially fill the void left by Wilfired Bony at Swansea:
Loic Remy
While the Frenchman may not pack quite the same punch as Bony in terms of physicality and stature, Loic Remy nevertheless deserves credit for what he can bring to the table.
Scoring goals may be his most important asset, with an impressive 14 recorded for Newcastle United last season, but Remy is also famed for his quick turn of pace and intelligent reading of the game. The Chelsea no. 18 has something very Henry-esque about his style, and whilst he is certainly not at the Arsenal legend’s level quite yet, under the right set-up Remy could definitely thrive.
Although the tricky striker seemingly wanted to make a name for himself at Stamford Bridge, if Bony were to make the move to West London, Remy’s game time would suffer even more. For that reason, a player + cash deal could be a decent move for the Swans, and for Loic Remy himself.
Lima
Despite being a grand 31-years-old, Benfica’s Lima has proved to be a handful of a striker, both domestically in the Primeira Liga and in the Europa League for several consecutive seasons.
The uncapped Brazilian may not have made any waves on the international scene, but the powerful no. 11 has become a firm fan favourite at the Estadio da Luz with over 50 goals scored in the past two seasons. Lima has the strength and reliability in front of goal, and whilst his days of being a quick mover may have passed him by now, the Brazilian hit-man could still be a force in the Premier League.
Although the South American forward could certainly prove an asset at the Liberty Stadium, the apparent lack of sensation and excitement that would arrive upon him signing on the dotted line could see this potential deal become a non-starter. Lima’s goal stats remain undeniably impressive however.
Seydou Doumbia

Another powerful Ivorian striker who could fill the void left at Swansea, Seydou Doumbia marks a transfer target who is similar to Wilfried Bony in terms of what assets he brings to the game.
The CSKA no. 88 has already given the Premier League reason to remember his name after his Champions League destruction of Manchester City back in November 2014. He has played countless games for both club and country, and with his powerful stature mixed with a calm composure when under pressure, the Ivorian forward’s achievements come as no surprise.
Although Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool are said to also be interested in landing Doumbia, if the Swans take home the reported £30 million price tag that they have set for Wilfried Bony, Garry Monk could certainly let the money do the talking in his quest to secure a replacement at the Liberty Stadium.
Emmanuel Emenike
Arriving as the undisputedly greatest ‘beast’ on this list, Emmanuel Emenike could offer Swansea the perfect solution should they fail to keep hold of Bony this January.

Whilst he doesn’t quite share the same technical ability with the ball and composure in front of goal, Fenerbahce’s bustling forward still has several essential qualities to make it in the Premier League. Emenike is undeniably strong, hungry for goals and worthy enough to test even the best defenders in England. He may not be quite as prolific as some other striker candidates, but the 27-year-old could nonetheless still do a great job for Monk this season.
Tottenham Hotspur have already expressed an interest in signing the Nigerian hitman, but as the apparent dismissal of their reported £8 million bid highlights, Swansea won’t be able to pick up Emmanuel Emenike on the cheap.
Jackson Martinez

The potential signing of Porto and Colombia hot-shot, Jackson Martinez, would certainly prove to be a landmark deal should the Swans pull it off.
The fiery 28-year-old may have already made a name for himself prior to the 2014 World Cup last summer, but even when operating from the bench in Brazil, Jackson Martinez proved to be a deadly finisher with a cool nature on the ball. This is just the kind of player Swansea require in the potential absence of Wilfried Bony.
Both Marvin Emnes and Bafetimbi Gomis would certainly benefit from playing alongside the Colombian star, but as his asking price will likely be a bit steep with several of Europe’s big-boys also in the hunt to land his signature, Swansea could face stiff competition in the quest to tie down Jackson Martinez.
The two managers involved in this clash both share mutual ground in that they are desperate to get their ailing sides back on track.
The Magpies languish in 14th placing after only managing to pick up 17 points from 16 games and have failed win in 5 of their last 6 Premier league outings.
Alan Pardew did not mix his words when his side slumped to their latest defeat against Fulham on Monday night saying “It’s no good having great performances at Stoke and here (at Craven Cottage), but not getting anything out of it”.
The Lunchtime kick off at St. James’ Park could provide some relief for the home side with them managing to secure four league victories for Newcastle.
Man City also have reason to feel that it is not all doom and gloom as they travel to Tyneside. They remain unbeaten on their travels having won three and drawn four.
Mancini’s men will be looking to recover for a last gasp 3-2 derby day loss to Manchester United last weekend and now trail their bitter rivals by six points.
Pardew will hoping that Ben Arfa returns to full fitness ahead of this clash, whilst they still have permanent absentees in the shape of Obertan, Ryan Taylor, Steven Taylor and Yohan Cabaye.
City are waiting on the verdict of the FA on Gareth Barry following an allegation of abusing a match official during the derby day defeat.
Roberto Mancini will be hoping that Vincent Kompany has recovered too after limping off after 21 minutes in the same game.

Most expect Carlos Tevez to start from the off after being left on the bench, as Mario Balotelli was preferred last time out.
If Newcastle can hang on till half time they would be buoyed by the stat that 33% of their goals have come in the 15 minutes just after the break, a higher percentage than any other team in the league.
Leeds fans are not happy with Pontus Jansson’s comments after the Reading match, as the centre back issued a rallying cry three months too late.
Leeds looked to have secured just their second win since Boxing Day on Saturday at the Madejski, but a Eunan O’Kane own goal meant the two struggling sides shared the points.
Jansson equalised for the Leeds on the brink of half time, after Jón Daði Böðvarsson had given the home side the lead. Pablo Hernandez thought he had stolen all three points for the visitors, only for O’Kane to put one in his own net just two minutes later.
It was an improved performance from Paul Heckingbottom’s side, with most fans at least somewhat happy that they finally showed a bit of fight. However, it wasn’t exactly a controlled performance, and Jansson’s post match comments have angered fans.
[ad_pod ]
“At the moment I feel ashamed. In 2018 we have one win and I’m born to be a winner and win games. That’s what I live for, that’s why I play football – because I want to win games. We’ve got one win in 2018 so I feel bad,” said the 27 year-old defender.
“We had a good talk after the game against Wolves. We sat down for 30 minutes in the dressing room. Now it’s up to everyone to show balls and to prove if they want to stay in Leeds. They have to show it now on the pitch.”
Leeds fans will take at least some promise from the performance on Saturday, and the fact that the players are clearly frustrated with their recent form means at least they have something in common with the fans.

Still, fans are not impressed in the slightest by Jansson’s comments, questioning the point of even issuing a rallying cry now the side are out of the playoff picture.
Some of the best Twitter reactions can be found below…
In the pick of this evening’s Champions League action, reigning champions Real Madrid play hosts to Premier League side Liverpool.
The Reds are back in Europe’s competition for the first time since 2009 this season, but were quickly brought back down to earth when Los Blancos visited Anfield last month, thumping the Merseysiders 3-0.
Going to the Bernabeu certainly won’t improve Liverpool’s odds, but there’s still a chance the Reds can claim a respectable result against the Group B leaders.
That, however, will largely depend on whether the Premier League runners-up can dominate the individual battles.
Thus, here’s FIVE key battles Brendan Rodgers’ side need to win if they’re to come away from the Bernabeu with a point or more.

CRISTIANO RONALDO VS SIMON MIGNOLET
Football – Real Madrid v Sevilla – UEFA Super Cup 2014 – Cardiff City Stadium, Wales – 14/15 , 12/8/14Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo Mandatory Credit: Action Images / Carl RecineEDITORIAL USE ONLY.
With an outrageous 22 goals already this season, including this stunning strike at Anfield last month:
… and now just one strike away from matching Raul’s all-time Champions League top scorer record of 71 goals, if Liverpool are to stop Cristiano Ronaldo from scoring at the Bernabeu for the first time since August, goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will have to be on top form.
The Belgium international has come under fire of late – Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher even saw grounds to criticise his attempts to prevent Phil Jagielka’s wonder-strike during the Merseyside derby:
But with the odds firmly against him to keep Real Madrid’s star forward at bay, Mignolet enters the Bernabeu fixture under little pressure.
That being said, Ronaldo’s currently enjoying the hottest form of his career. And just in case you’d somehow forgotten what he’s capable of – maybe you’ve been hit on the head with a very, very large spanner – here’s the Portugal international’s twenty best ever goals:
KARIM BENZEMA VS DEJAN LOVREN AND MARTIN SKRTEL
Karim Benzema may find himself slightly outshone by the impeccable attacking cast surrounding him at Real Madrid, but tactically, his influence remains pivotal.
He’s the man who links play between the midfield and the front-line for Real, occupying defenders, always providing a direct outlet and creating space for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Martin Skrtel and summer signing Dejan Lovren have struggled to gel as a centre-back partnership this season and failed to prevent the France international from getting from the score-sheet at Anfield. In fact, he netted twice – this shrewd header:
…followed by a close-range finish as a result of some poor marking from a corner:
Lovren and Skrtel need to match the physicality of Benzema’s stocky 6 foot 2 frame – especially in the air – whilst also stopping the Frenchman from supplying those around him.
He’s grabbed five assists already this season, although the 26 year-old is yet to claim a set-up in Europe:
JORDAN HENDERSON VS TONI KROOS
Toni Kroos is Real Madrid’s pace-setter; their deep-lying playmaker that dictates the direction and tempo of attacks.
The German World Cup winner was allowed to run riot at Anfield, with his 89 passes (producing an incredible pass completion rate of 97.8%) only bettered by central midfield partner Luka Modric:
He’ll inevitably get time and space on the ball – that’s why he’s one of the top midfielders in world football – but Liverpool need to reduce it as much as possible, and that task will likely fall to Jordan Henderson.
The England international’s form has been turbulent this season but he’s got the energy and athleticism to go toe-to-toe with Kroos for much of the match. He’s also the second-most proficient tackler in Liverpool’s squad:
…so if any Reds player can catch Kroos in possession high enough up the pitch to start a counter-attack, it’s undoubtedly the former Sunderland youngster.
Likewise, the German international’s defensive qualities leave a lot to be desire, and Henderson has the pace and intelligence to exploit space behind him on the break.
We know he can score and create around the penalty area too:
And Liverpool’s attackers will need the 24 year-old’s support on a night where they’ll spend the majority of it isolated.
MARIO BALOTELLI VS PEPE
Brendan Rodgers felt compelled to haul Mario Balotelli off at half-time against Real Madrid last month, and the Italian striker’s return for Liverpool stands at an incredibly disappointing two in twelve.
But with the injury-stricken Daniel Sturridge’s chances of starting rated ‘highly unlikely’ by the Liverpool boss, it appears Rodgers has little choice in giving Balotelli another crack against Los Blancos.
He didn’t find an inch of room against Pepe at Anfield – in fact, Liverpool’s summer signing failed to land a shot on target – which is perhaps why he ended up swapping shirts with the Real Madrid centre-back at half time.

But an eternally enigmatic, unpredictable figure, Balotelli has a knack of pulling off the sublime without a moment’s notice – take this strike against Bologna for example:
Could this be the night he justifies his £16million transfer fee?
GLEN JOHNSON VS ISCO
There were certainly more notable performers during Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory at Anfield last month, but the individual statistics are incredibly telling.
In a tucked-in left-hand role that allowed him to drift centrally, midfielder Isco recorded the second-most touches of any player on the pitch:
In addition to the most successful dribbles:
In fact, the Spain international’s 8.44 rating, according to Whoscored.com, was only bettered by Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, so his influence in the Anfield victory cannot be overstated.
His league form has been solid too this year, so solid in fact, it appears Carlo Ancelotti will stick with his ad hoc 4-4-2 against Liverpool to accommodate Isco, despite Gareth Bale returning from injury.
To prevent a repeat performance, we’ll have to see some improvement from Glen Johnson. His experience – boasting 43 career outings in Europe and 54 caps for England -could prove vital at the Bernabeu, but the 30 year-old’s form has been wanting this season, as shown below, and Brendan Rodgers will expect more.
The ticket and corporate hospitality sales for the 2013 UEFA Europa League Final were launched today in Amsterdam at an event which also included the presentation of the event design for the match, which will be played at the Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday 15 May 2013 at 20.45CET.
The event, attended by final ambassador Patrick Kluivert, UEFA Executive Committee member and Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) President Michael Van Praag and deputy mayor of the City of Amsterdam Eric van der Burg, formally launched the UEFA Europa League final ticketing concept.
A dedicated ticketing portal will open on UEFA.com on Monday 3 December 2012 at 12.00CET to sell 18,000 tickets to the general public via a lottery process. Tickets are available in four price categories: €135 (category one), €100 (category two), €70 (category three) and €45 (category four). The prices were set by UEFA in consultation with the Amsterdam final local organising committee and the independent Football Supporters Europe network (FSE), and the sales period will run until Friday 18 January 2013 at 12.00CET.
Additionally, for football fans under the age of 14, UEFA has reserved 200 youth ticket packages in category two for the price of category four tickets. One youth package, which comprises two category two tickets for a child and an accompanying adult, costs €90. Tickets with wheelchair access are in category four, and a ticket for an accompanying person is included in the price.
Applicants can apply for up to two tickets per person in the same price category. All valid applications will enter a lottery at the end of the sales phase, regardless of the time of submission. Consequently, customers are advised not to rush their application in the first hours after the opening of the ticket portal. The shipment fee per order is €8 in the Netherlands, €20 within Europe and €35 outside Europe. Applicants will be informed by email by February whether they have been successful in the lottery.
In line with UEFA’s policy to promote the competition among the general public, a total of 38,000 tickets, representing 79% of the net stadium capacity of 48,000, will go to the supporters of the two finalist teams and to neutral fans. Out of this allocation, the two finalist teams will receive a total of 20,000 tickets – 10,000 each – for distribution among their supporters. A significant allocation – 30% of these tickets – has been made available in category four, ensuring as wide as possible access to the match for the finalist clubs’ fans.

In terms of value for money, Tottenham Hotspur’s acquisition of Jan Vertonghen in the summer of 2012 has to go down as one of the best deals in recent memory.
Indeed, Spurs are believed to have paid around £10m to sign the centre-back from Ajax, and he has gone on to become one of the best defenders in the European game.
Now 30, Vertonghen is fast closing on 250 appearances for Tottenham, and he is already considered as a legend in the eyes of many of the club’s supporters.
Vertonghen was outstanding alongside Belgium teammate Toby Alderweireld last season, but has had a new centre-back partner for the majority of this term, with Davinson Sanchez coming into the fold.
Vertonghen, who is believed to collect £100,000 a week at Spurs, recently commented on the special relationship that he has with the Tottenham fans, and they were quick to respond to the defender’s words.

A selection of the Twitter reaction can be found below:
Before I kick this off I think it’s very important to state that Celtic’s Aleksandar Tonev has not, at the time of writing, been found guilty of racially abusing Aberdeen’s Shay Logan. The SFA have received referee Bobby Madden’s report on the alleged incident revolving a remark made by the Bhoys star to his opponent and a case may be made if clear evidence is found.
Celtic have insisted that Tonev has stated to them that he’s not guilty, while the player’s agent has also defended his client.
Of course we all hope that he is not culpable and that the incident is just a misunderstanding. But should he have made the remark he’s accused of, then the SFA must throw the book at both club and player in a bid to ensure that repeat incidents are not witnessed or endured by anybody.
Tonev was up against Logan for the entire game, which ended 2-1, in what was a heated showing between the pair. The Bulgarian, on loan from Aston Villa, frequently clashed with his opponent in a footballing sense, with both players refusing to give an inch in their battle.
Logan reported the incident early in the second half and informed both his captain Mark Reynolds and the referee.
Now, nothing has been proven, but the last thing Scottish football needs is more controversy. We’re not here to delve into the accusations to have been thrown back and forth between Celtic and Rangers down the years or even Leigh Griffiths’ relatively recent troubles, but these problems leave the game in a difficult position.
This incident cannot be swept under the carpet, with acts of racial abuse or gestures of any kind simply unacceptable in the modern game. Football in Britain has moved forward almost immeasurable leaps since the days of the 70s and 80s and it’s always worth remembering that nations across Europe are still involved in shameful accusations on an almost seasonal basis.
That is not to mean that Tonev should be given an easy ride at all, with the UK having the reputation it has due to strict enforcement and punishment for offenders. Luis Suarez and John Terry are two of the most high profile wrongdoers in recent times, and the FA acted swiftly on both counts to ensure that the players were banned for lengthy periods, fined and held up as examples to others.
Even though Tonev was not in British football during the times of these offences he will be aware of the punishments dished out and the strict warnings aimed at other professionals, rendering any action, if guilty, he made completely unacceptable.
I’ll stress again that I hope for the sake of football that he’s not proven to have made such utterances, but should he have then the SFA must act as their counterparts below the border did – quickly and efficiently.
Tonev should not be banned for life – everyone deserves a second chance in society – but a massive punishment and a vast fine should be dished out. Further to this, Celtic, although some could deem this unfair, should suffer some sort of sanction.
This would help in getting the message through that racism is intolerable and help to ensure that such attitudes are not bred within groups of players.

This incident is set to rumble on with more announcements set for later this week. So for now we will all continue to sit tight and hope that this episode is just a horrible mix-up.
As the FootballFanCast.com Advent Calendar reaches Day 5, we’re giving away two copies of ‘Inside the Divide: One City, Two Teams … The Old Firm’ by Richard Wilson.
Since 1888, Rangers and Celtic football clubs have been locked into an intense and frequently explosive rivalry: Rangers the product of West Scotland’s Protestant establishment, Celtic the team founded to raise money for the Catholic underclass of Glasgow.
On 2 January 2010 the two teams met in the Old Firm’s New Year Derby, a fixture that had been banned for ten years because of the trouble it brought with it.
Richard Wilson puts that game at the centre of a book which delves into the history and widens out to the cultural resonance of the fixture within Scotland.
It is a potent mix of close-up observation and big-picture thinking, with insight, understanding and depth.
Congratulations to Tara Davies who won a Big Match DVD yesterday.
Fancy a copy of Inside the Divide?

On Monday, Estadio Deportivo reported that Arsenal manager Unai Emery has made contact with Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega regarding a possible move.
Emery has previously worked with the 29-year-old, who is believed to have concerns about moving abroad.
Banega, who re-joined Sevilla for a second spell from Inter Milan in 2017, made 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and creating six assists.
[brid autoplay=”true” video=”255571″ player=”12034″ title=”Watch Five outrageous World Cup stats you won’t believe are true”]
The Spanish publication states that the midfielder could end up being available for £17.5m due to a clause in his contract.
It is unclear whether Arsenal will pursue a deal, but some fans are certainly keen on the idea after witnessing his performance for Argentina at the World Cup on Tuesday.
What do you think of the World Cup so far? Let us know and win any World Cup shirt of your choice.
Banega played a pivotal role in his nation’s 2-1 victory over Nigeria, which sent them into the knockout rounds of the tournament.
While inside his own half, the midfielder chipped the ball over the top to find Lionel Messi, who scored Argentina’s first of the evening.
