Our profile is very much "potatoes and potatoes"

Wolves seems the most obvious option to me. Bournemouth is a different club now with their sexy Spanish manager. Wolves are now the meat and potatoes club with a meat and potatoes manager so they're the perfect destination for meat and potatoes Che.

If you mean Zach Awe then he joined the U21s not the first team.

Let's hope that we have been quietly and efficiently sending clubs on their way, and at the same time quietly and efficiently telling KWP that he won't go unless we get silly money, and KWP has been quietly and efficiently got on with playing. It's the hope that kills you...

Yes and the problem now with 48 hours to go is we are into the "ah yes we really tried but something went wrong at the last minute" phase of the window. We will likely see that nothing is more efficient than us selling players - we will smooth those through no bother at all - but us buying less so. I'm pleased with what Russell is saying but it don't mean shit now with two days to bid/sign/medical multiple players. Paintsil (who I don't think I am fussed about) shows how complicated it can be.

Well, obviously he is only speaking to the Paintsil end of things. No one thinks he has the inside track with Saints and Burnley and Leeds. He won't be reporting on whether we sign a centre back today because he doesn't give a shit.

Another vote for Cavtat, we stopped there after getting off the plane. Worth a wander round. Another restaurant if you want a bit of Croatian trad. Fish stew, Lamb thing*, Squid Ink risotto. Have a bash at that. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g295371-d23416478-Reviews-Heritage_Of_Dubrovnik-Dubrovnik_Dubrovnik_Neretva_County_Dalmatia.html?m=19905 *not real name. Sorry today I have just come back from this year's summer holiday so reminiscing about last year's one is useful therapy right now.

I pity the fool.

Feels strange that there haven't even been rumours. I can see on Twitter there are Liverpool, Man U, WHU, Palace etc etc fans saying "why don't we sign him" but unless I've missed it there's been no warm links. Odd. 48 hours to go....

Yes we did Krka but from Split, beautiful but yes will be a trek from Dubrovnik

We went last year (2 + 9yr + 14yr girls) although we did dual centre Dubrovnik and then Split across 10 days. Best day trip was Lopud Island and Sunj beach, you need to take a ferry ride from Dubrovnik to get to the island but then there's golf buggy taxis to the beach itself, quite fun, nice vibe to it and actual sand (which is rare round there) and excellent fish restaurant Obala there too https://www.obalalopud.com/ I guess to make a day of it you need to start early (and youre not starting in central Dubr) so if you like a slow, lazy start to holiday days it might be too much faff. Lokrum Island is worth doing - if you are a Game of Thrones person I guess already on your list. I don't know shit about GoT but you don't need to - the Island and little boat trip all lovely anyway - 3/4 hours of a day maybe. Can't remember all the restaurants but we did one called Arsenal which is a nice spot in the Marina https://www.nautikarestaurants.com/gradska-kavana-arsenal/ There are no restaurants called Leyton Orient. Loads of obvious things to do - cable car brilliant. We wish we did the zip wire but 9 Yr old didn't want to. We did Stand Up paddle boarding, I hated it but kids liked it. Old Walls and strolling round the town brilliant, obviously. Beautiful. Main warning is loads of beaches that aren't particularly beaches - some pebbles and concrete and sun loungers. We stayed near Banje Beach which was quite nice. Anyway, enjoy it!

It's brilliant Tanswell still working a bit on Saints. Great investigative journalist. Keep the info coming Jacob.

I heard he was Wandering around the course. And saying he was Hungry. Hungry like a Wolf. He's going to Wolves he's going to Wolves I tells ya

Someone will need to pinpoint the season that Aston Villa got relegated and then immediately started fending off bids for Premier League midfielder Jack Grealish.

Forest will be in pole position because they're in the Premier League. If we are going for Wood we won't sign another CB.

He was never coming to us, he's never going to play for us again and we do not need him to get promoted. The fact that you are telling yourself little fairy stories - he'll accept lower wages because he loves the super Saints - just shows this is a silly wet dream and not grounded in any reality whatsoever. Get over it.

No, mainly people thinking maybe we all get on with our lives than just mooning over old players that used to play for us, especially when they are going to be 40 this year. Maybe there are other football players on this planet who are more appropriate for us right now. If he never played for us no fucker would be suggesting we sign him for this season. Anyway, we all look forward to Nordic Saint writing the 357th version of his Jose Fonte tribute post the very next time he plays a match on TV.

I would think their chief exec Nicola Cortese has been closely monitoring our players for some time

Any updates anyone????

Interesting noises coming from coastal towns. Soon, a good day for craftsmen of old. What kind of oil do you mean? They make them strong out there. Out west where lands are flat there are winds of change. Despite the holes, there are useful signs so we should clock that. Northerners, carpenters, letter writers and Holy men will be celebrating too.

Pretty obvious you are going to be disappointed regardless of what happens between now and the window closing.

Let's hope that comes through because we're on the bones of our arse here. We need that money so bad

....but Nathan Tela might be hailed as the new Jude Bellingham though, right?

Wonderful development opportunity for him.

He has been replaced. Ryan Fraser is the replacement.
