Feels a very sensible signing, this. Hope we get it done. Fills a big Oriel hole

I think if Lavia went to Chelsea he'd start quite a few games

what are we looking at? A flight from where, meaning what?

I hope not, but if there is a £50m offer or above I certainly think our owners will look at it seriously

Still a bit worried that if a big offer comes in for Lavia he'll go this window. If it hasn't already.

Not sure I follow. Don't they own Broja?

Lavia sweetener 😉

brilliant if not a Lavia replacement.

Certainly beyond when we play them, that's for sure

Che Adams on missed chances: “I’m just not getting the right connection at the right time, so that’s what I would like to work on. Having that cool mind in front of goal, really relaxing & blocking out any outside noise.” #saintsfc [echo] “also, not being shit”

Just a reminder that Nathan Jones has won one Premier League game. But yes. Pinch of salt.

dearie me

Perhaps the search is for a striker who fits the bill financially first, and then has the ability to make a contribution in the Championship, which is still a big possibility

He will be fronting a hospital-based, fly-on-the-wall show called 'Ings under the scanner'

Can't see Ings wanting to come back. Too much for the ego. Would be good, but think we should probably invest more time in the Hull chappie - probably more efficient use of energy and less chance of disappointment. We are a 'Wolves or an Everton', after all. Perhaps Liverpool might offer him a lifeline... (joking)

Surprised Everton not in for him. Toffees after Moffi seems made in heaven

I think he could work. Has the physicality we need. And can score.

Everton and Forest were sniffing around too

This. Credit where due.

Nor me. Tried to avoid all scores all day. You’ve all got me to thank. 😉

Wow. Bloody amazing result. Well done all

Ay up, it’s Del Boy.

Our direct play is awful. The tactics we employed against City would have been no less effective against Everton.

I like neither his ability nor his attitude

Setting the tone will be so important, especially today. What Adam Armstrong gives us is constant harrying. What Che gives us is lazy lolloping, no tracking, lots of offsides and poor finishing. It’s a terrible selection blunder.
