Turned down by the Austrian lad. Did nobody send him MLG’s wages pitch?

No, because Mubama has different qualities. Not everyone has to be a clone of our current 11. That’s not how a season pans out.

This assumes all of them stay fit which is a little bit of a gamble. One that wasn't a problem the 2nd half of last season but was also helped by Archer and Oyenkule being around. Would assume any incoming would be based on him and Downs leaving. Who is playing for the under 21's right now up top? Because in theory he's first on the bench if there is an issue before January.

Think we will sign another striker if all the others can find a way out. Really liked the Azaz and Mubama link up though so he’ll get plenty of game time. But yes, he’s a different type of striker.

I assume we aren’t signing Harrison Armstrong anymore?

What were you worried about?

Was to replace Fellows yesterday wasn't it? Why the sudden change of heart?

Would also reiterate what Eckert said in a press conference recently: There are players in this squad looking to spend 2 years here and then move on.

I don’t think anyone mentioned critical did they? Might just be an opportunity that comes up.

It would help our cause a bit yes but suspect he’d be keen to eye up a run at the German national team for the Euros and would take instruction from Klopp/coaches etc.

Whoever that turns out to be, I really hope the wally comparing a child’s skills to Henry was not involved in their development. Ridiculous messaging setting the lad up for failure.

Because Jander is likely to leave next year like every man and his dog knows.

I suspect he’s kept them waiting/holding on all summer hence why they were annoyed. But you’re right they should have learned from our quite niche situation 4 years ago. Fools.

I think you’ve missed the point a bit here. He’s been available all summer but at some stage the player himself has to actually sign the contract and the point here is he hasn’t wanted to and waited for Sheffield United. So when you say ‘Saints weren’t asking a lot’ I think that wasn’t the issue.

Wilder saying he turned down a perm move to join them. Based on MLG’s figures someone has probably bid about £20 million.

Is it?

This really is not the time to worry about it. It’s August 😂 We bumbled our way through to December didn’t we last season and still went close? Give it until the end of September at the earliest. Right now time to improve both the squad and results is on our side. Let the new signings lose a couple and make you shit the bed instead.

Just in case anyone was struggling with the concept of a first name.

We’ve lost two games mate. Listen to yourself 😂

Loving being able to contribute to the match day thread after the game again aren’t you. Hurrah for you.

Feels pretty obvious to me that regarding a Charles replacement the club have certain players in mind who haven’t become available yet. If they can’t get them they’ll go for a loan I suspect. No point just getting bodies for the sake of it up until now.

Not taking it out of context actually. It was your opinion that was being mocked. Because it was daft. As proven by reality.

Exciting few days in store remember guys! Plus the Tonda news they’ve been sitting on since August 1st hey @MB

People need to stop quoting these like we don't already have an exciting team. Better than last season will be judged on the outcome at the end obviously but in the very same interview as these quotes Dragan tells us we'll sign cover for Azaz and replace any big hitters that go. We'll do that. People quoting these expecting a week of ridiculous signings are doing so deliberately so they can have a dry dig. It's not even subtle.

He was also suggesting Barron at Rangers a few weeks ago. Think he just genuinely suggests people. Harrison Armstrong started and played 90 for Everton today for whoever suggested that one.
