Welcome to the latest episode of the Total Saints Podcast, your essential source for all things Southampton FC. This week, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant (Saints Web), Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10), and Alfie House (Daily Echo) to dive into a bustling summer of activities for the Saints, from key transfers to strategic planning for the upcoming Premier League season.

We kick off with the latest transfer news, discussing significant signings including Charlie Taylor from Burnley and Taylor Harwood-Bellis becomes a permanent player in the squad, an addition that could be game-changing for Southampton in the Premier League. We also explore Alex McCarthy's new contract and what it means for the goalie lineup in the upcoming matches.

Amidst rumours of interest from other clubs, Russell Martin has been offered a new contract following his successful campaign to get Southampton promoted. We debate the implications of this move and other potential signings that Martin is eyeing, including Matt O'Riley from Celtic and Nathan Wood from Swansea.

The Saints confirm their pre-season training camp in Spain, coupled with a local friendly against Eastleigh. We’ll discuss what these preparations signal for the upcoming season.

Shifting focus to Euro 2024, we recap England's dire performance against Slovakia, where Jude Bellingham saved the day, and look ahead to the quarter-final clash against Switzerland. The panel analyze England’s strategy, team selection dilemmas, and what needs to change for England to overcome Switzerland.
