Mr Saints

I reckon we'll end up with Downes and Grimes to replace to JWP and Lavia. Annoying that we have to go through this limbo stage whilst we deal with the "big" clubs offering below our asking prices, which goes back to RM's recent comments that the window should end before the season starts.

The Chelsea Lavia bid has cheered me up somewhat! Cheers Todd.

Let's hope one we have lined up is a (good) centre mid then, otherwise we suddenly look very short in that area for next few games.

Great to get the win, impressed with the transformation in playing style that RM and the coaching staff have implemented in around a month. Exciting to think it will improve with more time on the training pitch over the next few months. A couple of observations: - defending set pieces needs to be improved, wasn’t keen on the matchup of Smallbone marking their big centre half who brushed him aside for their goal - no VAR is brilliant. Celebrate goals properly knowing it won’t be ruined by some lines on a screen - Adams has to start, loads of times in the first half we got in good wide positions and Armstrong was stood on the penalty spot rather than getting across the front post. Adams does this and we’ll score a lot of goals this way with our style.

Whatever those two clowns on Sky Sports News are saying, you can guarantee the opposite is happening anyway.

Max Aarons according to talkshite

Can’t he stay out there and sign for Goztepe ffs

I find it extremely surprising we've found someone willing to take him with an obligation to buy! and they are paying a fee! Well played Saints.

The Italian clubs are picking up a fair few Scots at the moment. It's the right time to part ways (for all parties) and wish him well wherever he ends up.

Good news on Diallo. Would be pretty happy to see the rest of the French contingent follow him out the door tbh.

Experienced and proven in the Championship. I like it.

Jonny Evans also mentioned in the article would be much more preferable. Coincidentally we should have signed Evans when Fonte left.

I think his injuries have taken their toll. West Ham fans can't wait to get shot of him, he's also their highest paid player (even before Rice left).

Jack Stephens. Get it up em.

Heard Mark Warburton will be on the coaching staff, recently left West Ham.

That quote is a Les Reed masterpiece. That summer was the peak of we are too clever for everyone else, only rivalled by Rasmus this year.

😂 love the thought of Russell Martin talking freely about our transfer dealings with RhysMorgan25 over a coffee. Some proper weirdos on twitter!

Selles would do well there, after all he managed them to 3 points at St Mary's a few weeks back.

Forgot he existed until he randomly popped up towards the end of the season.

Some truly baffling tactics, team selections & press conferences in the last few months, and that's after Nathan Jones left. Good riddance IMO.

All the muppets on twitter angry that Ankersen hasn’t gone. He’s the fucking founder of sport republic! He will only leave the day Sport Republic sell up ffs!

Hope so

Orsic wasn't an option so I went for Mara, what a signing he has been.

In 2005 my overriding feeling was being genuinely gutted. Probably because it went to the last day and we were so close. This season is completely different as we've been done for weeks. Main feeling is anger at the arrogance and ineptitude of the players, managers and board. Big summer ahead.

If only we had an attacking player with even half his ability and set of bollocks in the current squad.
