Doubt it will happen but I hope if we do get him it’s with a view to buy.. can’t really see the point in loans even with successful ones like broja or toby it leaves you frustrated if they are a roaring success and then go elsewhere

If I was Ralph I think I would give broja a rest today.. if we do have any hope of signing him him having a good game vs city won’t help us.. give adams a start

He seems like exactly our kind of signing tbh young good potential and could be got cheap so perfect for the moneyball approach .. Personally don’t see him going to Liverpool, even if that rumour is true,, with mane and Salah absolutely locked starters he’s gonna be a squad player at best

It just seems to me that all the hype and buzz came from Ralph’s original comments which was followed up by saying his parents want him to stay here.. followed by the saints twitter pouring petrol on the fire.. seems a bit weird to now act like it’s hectic rumours and let the lad play football when it was mostly Ralph and the club that have been blowing the smoke

Ralph Hasenhuttl on signing Armando Broja: “To be honest, it doesn’t affect me massively because we know he is here until the end of the season. We have enough time to talk to them [Chelsea]. Let this guy play football.” Is this a bit of a u turn after his comments like “sure he loves it here let’s do it” and broja parents wanting him to stay and all the sfc media tweets ?

This daily broja hype the saints media team are putting out on a daily basis is borderline cruelty to us fans if they don’t sign broja.. they know we are excited why are they putting us through this 😕

Also worth factoring in we looked to have had a decent relationship with Chelsea.. so probably wouldn’t wanna risk pissing them off with the tapping up we seem to be doing unless we were confident ?

Yeah that’s what I was saying.. as a youngster he’s probably not on huge amounts yet whilst we could make him close to a top earner its looking to me like there is something in this,, we usually go about our business quietly but seem to be pumping broja stories to the media on a daily basis..talking to his family etc .. it’s starting to get exciting 😃

It’s a bit strange that Ralph keeps talking up the possibility of signing broja., surely it’s gonna build disappointment in the fan base with his comments if he doesn’t stay. Fingers crossed there is something in it

Quite frustrating this broja situation. ralph lauds him in interviews like we pulled off some massive coup but at the end of the day he’s not our player. surely we must have had some talks and know by now if we have any chance of getting him permanently ? if not I think banging in a bid for delap could be a good alternative.. I think broja is the real deal for what it’s worth but at the same time I’m not really happy to just develop another’s clubs player

Another angle is maybe we can offer him more money then he’s currently on at Chelsea ?? chelsea signed him on a five year deal right.. but as a kid he’s probably not on top money yet. we could come in and offer him 80-90 k a week ?

If ever there was a time to break our transfer record and show some ambition this is it,, this guy could be vvd good imo. Ralph’s comments are going to get a lot of hopes up so I really hope he can do everything possible to convince the new owners broja needs to be signed

#1 priority should be do everything we can to get broja permanently if Chelsea are not budging let’s get delap mcatee also looks good for our approach 2 out of these three would be a very good window

Agree on the first part I thought stuey was killing them before the sending off he’s so much more creative and intelligent then our other number tens. valery still a liability and changed what should of been a walkover into a hard slog. he gets a lot of stick but thought long was brilliant in extra time such a pain for tired defenders got his goal and was causing loads of problems

Mcatee came on for city and looked class, Cole palmer brilliant so definitely not against going for these city youngsters.. although would still much prefer we went all out on broja .. looks a bit unlikely we sign another keeper or why would we extend cabbalero ?

Must say I’m very impressed with rasmus seems an extremely switched on guy and also a brilliant speaker.. would be nice if he is quite hands on after listening to him.. why did he leave Brentford again.?

I’d have really liked to see how it played out had he been left to it pretty sure poch would have stayed longer and it would have been interesting to see how nic would handled players like lallana Morgan etc wanting out.. I just think nc kind of saw the club as his after it was practically him that built it up and kat was more interested in taking it back with intention to sell ?

I’m astonished really.. cortese persuaded Marcus to buy the club for a poxy 25 mil around and had risen the value to probably around 200m by the time he left Marcus had complete trust in the man. He found pochetino from nowhere, put amazing scouts in place like Paul allen took us up 2 divisions and improving all the time yet the guy gets treated like satan here for not even spending that much tbh.

It’s not so much about expecting.but I’d of liked someone with a lot of ambition in control of our club so give me a cortèse, a red bull or Arab takeover all day long.. cortese once said you “when you sell your best players you sell your ambition” under senmens we have a man who wants us to be a shop window for young players- a 2022 Rupert Lowe basically I don’t get why everyone is that impressed by him

I mean the way senmens was speaking before about there being many offers but about finding the right one just makes me think maybe he had a lot of power in the decision and now it looks the case he will remain in control

Cynical but I get the feeling senmens idea of finding the right buyer, was to find one who lets senmens stay in control..: must say the deal doesn’t sound that exciting to me..

Yeah it’s unlikely but if they do come back in for tino which is quite possible it would give us a chance to cut some sort of deal on broja possibly. would be good if this relationship with Chelsea continues they have a pool of good young talent now and our dealings with them have been great just a shame broja move couldn’t have been a perm

Super unlikely but I’d actually take a swap with livramento if Chelsea wanted to buy back. Prefer broja out of the two by miles and we still have kwp

Yeah maybe, I just think it’s a little strange the way he looks like he believes in a youngster just to suddenly turn cold on them so fast. im not really obsessed with playing kids myself anyway unless they are exceptional talents . the vast majority of great players we brought through as kids looked the business from a early age think of the likes of bale/Walcott/shaw/le tiss/shearer/bridge all of them came in and looked great from the get go

Also a lot of Ralph’s treatment of the youngsters has been questionable, gave valery a run and loaned out Cedric, then next season Cedric back and valery completely out of favour. obafemi had a run of looking like he was gonna break through again all of a sudden out in the cold again, now we have tella who looked like breaking through last season but up until recently again same thing .. jankiewics also didn’t get any chance after the Man Utd horror show.. we can question if these youngsters were good enough but Ralph’s treatment seems a bit random
