A lot more outs than ins
Solid start in the league for once
Community Shield and European Super Cup games close
Transfers

Sooooo a ton of outs and not many ins. Mind you most of the outs are youth players just leaving the club. Notable outs are Portugese winger Bruma who's just been so injury prone and Vadillo is ahead of him, plus I signed Jesus Navas. Abel Hernandez was sold for double what I paid for him, Gary Hooper left on loan to Arsenal so my three strikers will be Maupay, Olly Kenney that English regen and Jamaica the Brazilian regen from United who's dubbed the next Ronaldo(fat one). Thomas Tomkins who also looks very good, another English regen, was loaned out to Millwall... I feel he could make an impact for them and then come back next year and challenge for a starting place maybe. Carlton Morris will also spend another year on loan at Peterborough. Jack Butland was sold for just under what I signed him for and that's because I signed the mighty ter Stegan!!
Anyway there were so many immense transfer listed players this summer Cech, Ribery, Thiago Silva, Inigo Martinez, Rooney, ter Stegan just to name a few but most wanted insane wages. I signed Navas though who I thought could do a good job and also mentor Vadillo, same nation and position. Diouf and Manero and both regens who looks alright, Diouf was on a free and only on £1k a week so its a no lose. Manero looks like he could be Schneiderlin's replacement in a few years and has been loaned to Crawley. Then I saw ter Stegan was transfer listed but I felt the fee was too high, but I had money burning a hole in my pocket and he's better than Butland plus Benfica bid I felt I had to sign him.
Jesus Navas

Really like the look of his stats and considering I signed him for £7m and his value is £12m its a good deal.
Gerard Diouf

Signed completely free and low wages, I can't really lose plus he looks alright.
Jose Miguel Manero

Some really nice well rounded stats. Spending the year at Crawley to get some first team football, could be a part of the first team set up next season.
Marc-Andre ter Stegan

The beast himself joins for a big fee but he's worth it, a top class keeper who will be our number 1 for many years.
ALSO!! I signed a Brazilian regen who joins in 2016...

5* PA snapped up for £1.2m. Can't wait to get my hands on him!!

Very good way to kick off the season with a win over City!!! Navas came back to haunt them with a goal from the bench too!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
League
Sheffield Wednesday 1 - 3 Southampton
Maupay, Bernard, Navas
Nice way to kick off the league with a tidy win over newly promoted Wednesday. Neal Maupay netting early on then Bernard with a nice volley from Clyne's cross. Navas scored a brilliant solo goal here which won Goal of the Month.
Southampton 3 - 0 Burnley
Doria, Maupay(2)
Another solid win over a newly promoted side with Maupay showing me he is indeed ready to lead the line. Doria netted too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
European Super Cup
Southampton 0 - 2 Bayern Munich
Yeah to kinda be expected. The team they have is insane and Gotze bossed us. Never mind.

Monthly Review
A top month really. I'm pretty happy with my transfers, I feel bad for Butland but you can't turn down ter Stegan. Brilliant month in the league as we finally don't have United first game, plus I'm really happy with the win over City in the Community Shield. We were brilliant and Navas scoring did make me laugh
Mancini is back in charge of them too!!!
Anyway this season marks our first in the Champions League and we were handed probably the best possible group, being seeded third..

Player of the Month
Neal Maupay
The young lad is still only 18, not valued at £7m but I wouldn't sell him for £70m. Beast.
