OK if we just going to imagine things to fit what we want to believe then maybe Mitrovic wanted to stay just like Adam Armstrong wants to stay.

I looked at Burnley and I'm not familiar enough with all the players but 4 went for £10m plus each plus a high volume of bodies out. It clearly happens. But we seem to be on a forum where Norwich keeping Pukki is suddenly comparable to us keeping Lavia or JWP.

Most of those players are fucking shit to be fair. Mitro was kept after he scored 3 goals in a season, he wasn't some in demand wonder player.

I thought we were undefeated in the league but must be a different Southampton.

I don't understand why the club don't just have a policy to only sign players that will definitely be good.

You: A big no to "random" signings, whatever they are... Also you: lets get more game time to Mara, one of the most out random signings we made for years

28 years old and still bimbling around in mid table Championship but honestly he's an undiscovered football genius.

Happy Flynn Downes day everyone!

You'll all see at the end of the window.

Flynn Downes is never ever ever going to sign for us ever.

Happy Flynn Downes day, everyone!

mods can you deal with this post clogging up the forum pls tks

It was a definitive yes. Whether he lives to regret that we'll see but it was as close as they could have gone to confirming it outside of Flynn walking out at that exact moment like Kevin Keegan.

The medical report says it's coming out of both ends.

Is this the right place for extreme videos?

I distinctly remember there were no posts on the Sheffield Wednesday match thread at all until we scored, because everyone was just watching the game.

My reply got deleted because I done a joke

Has Flynn Downes been announced? Huge if true

Whatever happens in this topsy turvy transfer window, we can be absolutely confident that all this will not happen.

Indeed. But, I will be getting increasingly annoyed every time someone says "....since 1966".

It's a great achievement. Feels like England are peaking at the right time.

Just listened to it, I think they all came across well. Downes is happening so nothing to worry about, good signing. Absolutely unequivocal about Bazunu. He's the goalkeeper and that's that. Let's hope he repays the faith. They were a bit vague about whether they need a bit of height, Martin was a solid no, Wilcox a bit more even handed. Wilcox pretty scathing about last year, our victories were mainly luck, and when you think about Leicester or Chelsea away he's absolutely right, just to think of two examples. And its pretty clear that Phil the new CEO is definitely "moving forward". I don't think he is ever going to stop moving forward.

Well, they won’t all need replacing as the squad is too big.

I'd have thought Chelsea are spending £100m on players because what they want to do it win the league and champions league themselves multiple times, rather than as some kind of incubator club to sell on for a profit later on. They're buying him now so they have a player worth £200m in 3 years time, not to sell him but to stop them needing to buy one. Saudi League is a different thing and not quite relevant and even now would interpret that unless peak players really want to play their peak years in Saudi league I don't see it as a reason to overly worry about sell-ons.
