Southampton have travelled past Jesurun Rak-Sakyi's opportunity multiple times without taking concrete action. Now, he could be the one to avoid loosening West Brom's attacking creativity without Saints man Tom Fellows.
By throwing Finn Azaz for a Watford shift before he could have explored all training facilities, Southampton sent a proof to all fans who were still pinching themselves on this capture. And drawing lessons from the Saints, Sheffield United also sent Danny Ings somehow to swing the play's tide in their favour.
Despite that, Middlesbrough showed the upward groove they are in, and left both Southampton fans and Danny Ings on the loser's corner.
But Saints were capped on points by Watford, right? Absolutely, but Boro plucked out some payback happiness from these two matchups as Azaz's victory routine came to a stop but theirs didn't.
Quite a bitter revenge passed in no time, but Saints should keep their ears open for more of these payback moments coming to them.
Ex-Saints wide attacking target could wear Fellows' West Brom boots
And why to go further than Tom Fellows, whose ex-West Brom supporters are preparing to revive a fallen Saints plan.
In the words of fan pundit Callum Burgess, the Football League World noted: "But if we're looking at players we might be more familiar with, someone like Rak-Sakyi, who had some interest this summer after his loan spell at Sheffield United."
Introducing the 22-year-old named above is as futile to St. Mary's faithful as notifying them of the dates for the Portsmouth derby. They already have a sharp knowledge of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi's rumours and how they have hopped from and into Southampton's basket.
Therefore, it's a brilliant returning-favours game, West Brom are enthusiastic to play but the individual goal contribution battles among Fellows and Rak-Sakyi are what will make fans smile.
