Che Adams been on for 5 minutes and already putting on a master class against AC Milan. Nutmegged someone on the way to Torino going 2 up.

He got 13 games and spent a lot of the season injured so not sure that’s fair. One of their best players this pre season too so it’s classic Chelsea they are loaning him out.

Also Royal leaving Spurs frees up a position in their squad for a versatile full back…

Yes, this was said weeks ago just after Saints briefed via the daily echo they were unlikely to get him. It’s bizarre fans have held onto this, mainly thanks to weirdos pretending to be ITK on here and Blackmore mentioning it at the same time as mentioning Carvalho just hours before he agreed a move elsewhere. ‘In our position of the food chain but totally defy the whole concept of a food chain’ is a hell of a stupid post 😂

It’s more the baseless and badly put together opinions that I have problems with and come across as just being said for the sake of a narrative, like a bot. We’ve just had one of our more exciting seasons as a club, so anyone peddling the ‘Boring, predictable, terrible, dull style’ narrative doesn’t feel like they are actual real people.

Eh?

I'm not having a go at the people who didn't attend, which included me, but because I didn't go, I don't feel I'm in a position to criticise people who did go and wanted to ask whatever question they wanted to ask.

You, for example? Really enjoying the suggestions and judgement from people who didn't go. Good stuff.

Nobody we are trying to sign who has the choice between Brentford and Saints is thinking ‘Saints were an established PL team for a while’…they are thinking ‘they came up via the play offs and start as the worst team in the league on paper’ but anyway, same as Leicester…sensible point…compare our summer to theirs…

Do people just completely forget where we were last year and are they completely oblivious to others? Brighton have had Europe recently. Brentford are settling in as a PL team. We've just come up from the playoffs. I'm not sure who you think we are but we are very unlikely to compete with these teams right now. I didn't see Luton fighting off competition from Brighton last year for 20 million plus players so I'm not sure why you expect us to.

Lowest in the league last year for aerial attacks so that is just not true.

Is this board getting taken over by bots?

Always worth remembering the club briefed quite a few weeks ago we were unlikely to sign O'Riley and then a few days ago told everyone we have pulled out of deals that have gone too high. Between then O'Riley's price has only gone up.

Genuinely find it baffling I've had to explain that to someone. Thought the Glen guy was being a proper attention seeking dope with his tweet but can see why he has an audience if something that we've been doing at times for a year now and quite literally unfolded in front of peoples eyes just an hour or so ago still needs explaining

His role was to create space for others. Which he did quite well. I'm not sure why we would use our last pre season friendly to change our whole game plan for 12 months now to get the best out of someones attributes who we are actively trying to sell, but he did the role we asked of him well and I suspect at some point next week we'll be using the same tactics to get behind Newcastle (whether we use him or not is another matter).

He wasn't. He also wasn't asked to do anything Che Adams wasn't asked to do last season.

Oh jesus, there's more than one I wonder what Martin was thinking as we dragged their defence up field and allowed our two quicker players either side of Onuachu to exploit the space.

Does this bloke still do a podcast? If so has anyone tried to explain to him one of the more simple concepts of our tactics?

Is that because you watched him or because he signed for Stoke a few weeks back?

Yes, if you like. It’s almost as if just saying ‘pissing around at the back’ as a thing that makes or breaks success is daft.

We pissed around at the back to score the goal that got us promoted btw.

Exactly this. Started weeks ago with the ‘personal terms will be tough’ stuff. Hopefully it works out but it’s good PR management if it doesn’t. Also enjoyed the ‘be careful of club briefings’ whilst simultaneously doing a club briefing.

Might end up promoted much to the annoyance of you.

There’s probably truth in it but I’m with you, the Celtic must get on with it line was funny especially when it was followed up by being annoyed that unless buying clubs got real then Onuachu was staying.

I see we’re briefing local journalists how nothing is our fault and people are lapping it up again. Easy work.
