if we terminate now, or in other words pay up their contract, a day after the window has closed, they can't fid a new club until the next transfer widow. If we had terminated yesterday they could now look for another club in their own time. Redmond can still bring something to the party this season. OK, so he is down the pecking order, but injuries can change things, especially as the bench is big these days.

You really hope so, but we'll see.

I think that too. £16m on two youth team players is some investment. We haven't splurged the cash like that since Best and Blackstock

Got to say that I am excited about CC. Hopefully he can live up to his youtube video and be a monster, dominating forwards. I am perhaps hoping for too much, but if he can win some headers he'll be an improvement on Valery at least.

we had to terminate his contract (and pay him a chunk of cash) for him to agree a deal with them after the windows closes as a free agent. Not sure we did that. I guess they could just agree to pay all his wages and a signing on fee to cover the loyalty bonus he was probably losing. Not sure they wanted to do that.

he'll get another job soon enough. Everyone, including himself, thinks he's gods gift to management.

he certainly needs to improve. Shit on the villa. Shit on the villa tonight...

no. However, if you want someone to simply repeat what the more eloquent commentator just said, he's your man.

Bednarek deal done...so they say.

sounds like we were required to pay him a big chunk of cash, but we said no.

does this forum still have the functionality to show who has posted how many times on each thread?

Excellent. Glad the management is not blind to what most Saints fans see - he can't play right back and cant play CB at this level.

even if they didn't, £6m will now be the fee whenever we have discussions about him.

for a second there I thought we were being linked with Ronaldo. I assume he is still after a CL club?

Fucking stealing a living.

if anyone knows how to spend someone else's money without a single thought as to where it has come from or how it will be paid back, it's that cunt.

can you update me on the Sar situation? Is he coming to Saints, West Ham or anyone else for that matter?

That's encouraging. They don't look ready to me from the youtube videos.

It doesn't help him get starts, but I'd guess they still want to have a couple of strikers. I doubt they will sell him this summer.

Are Larios and Edozie being signed as long term prospects, ie they will play for the U21/23s (not sure what the reserves are called these days) rather than going straight onto our bench? I have little footage to go on, but what I have seen doesn't suggest they are first team ready. Nothing wrong with us doing that by the way, just asking.

they were liked to Loic Bade who we thought (earlier this morning) we were signing .

Fair enough, but it is a football business not a club, at some point the board may want to some business to prevent them going bust. No fan ever wants to sell a player, unless they are shite, which if the case tends to mean you get fuck all for them, so doesn't achieve what you want - bring money in to spend on quality.

Barclay to Fulham would make sense geographically. He also seems like a player Rangers might go for. No sure he fits any of our criteria, except maybe `quality', which is pretty important. Doesn't feel #Saintsy.

SSN strike me as being slow to the news instead of at the front. Would that be fair?

Good point. I can believe it. Players that sign for Man U for £30m or whatever, don't get paid peanuts. £100k a week no problem. If they move, they tend to still get a fortune. Leeds paid even more for him than Man U did, so no reason why he'd get a wage reduction. Possibly got a rise.
