I read that Besiktas were buying him and then loaning him to Goetzepe.

1 CB down, hopefully another one 1.

I think we want to bring 2 new CBs in, quite easily see us selling ABK, Salisu and DCC, so potentially 3 unless Simeu is brought through as that 5th, But Bree can also play CB, so can Charles ans Manning.

Besiktas

1 cb down

Apparently it could be to do with Lyanco.

Definitely isn't Fonte..

👀

I'd be excited to sign him.

From what I saw, £34 Million was injected into SRs accounts. But like yiu said could be for a plethora of things.

That was into SRs accounts not Saints. But I see your point.

Its not just about FFP with wilcox, He has his hands on the full football operations so to speak, But being in charge of recruitment he'll know our protection and other financial things and will want to keep to that. The parachute payments will help, and so do these "share injections".

We don't have cash flow issues. Our concern is complying with FFP. Its more about wages atm.

Haha - No.

The "B" team thing was something that was put in place by Crocker and Co. I only imagine that it's been rebunked back to under 21 by the new leadership. As for the website I'm sure they just haven't updated it yet.

I wouldn't be so fast to say JWP is off. You would assume KWP should leave, it'll be late into the window I reckon before he does depart.

He'll most likely split opinion, but as a ball playing defender I'm sure he'll be a leading CB. Good age too.

We are in talks now with a CB and he is definitely better than Lyanco, But for now we wait to shift some before we bring him in.

I think if we lose JWP Grimes would be fantastic, But for me A experienced head at this level with one eye on promotion will lead me to believe longer term Downes is best value. Also from what I've seen, Downes looks really good as a 6, press resistant too, and knows RMs system so thr transition shouldn't take aslong. No brainer. But we wait until Spam have there midfield options.

If we keep JWP I hope the club do what they can to bring in Flynn Downes.

We have 6 CBs, We have plenty of better options at CBs than Lyanco. Providing We sign 1 CB that Russell wants, if we keep 2 of our 6 (Stephens/Bednarek) that is still better than keeping hold of Lyanco.

Back up is okay.

God I hope Smallbone isn't in midfield.

Definately going to be interesting watching the rest of the games., Seeing the shape evolve. It's probably more difficult to play how he wants a little whilst he doesn't really have a fit LB until we see Manning in the side.

Duje and Salisu. For two.
