The centre back purchase has to be made in the next few days. We need someone to match towering Vestergaard to make better of Ward Prowse set pieces.

I'm sure Bednarek and his partner welcoming a new baby this week is why he's on the bench.

Tomiyasu hasn't been signed by Spurs yet. It's likely, but Levy is also a thing.

Caleta Car is also an ICM stellar sports player. (along with A. Armstrong and JWP) They'll know price on that already...

We were linked with Felix Uduokhai a couple of years ago... Wonder if hes an option?

For these five games where we earned 13 PTS from 15. The two centre backs were Bednarek and Stephens. Vestergaard and Yoshida were on the bench.

Given Ralph has only not selected Bednarek six times in 110 Premier League games. Once through injury, I think Hassenhuttl has a differing opinion of Bednarek than most here.

How do we increase the value of Bednarek / Salisu if they don't play?

Given we bought Vestergaard for 18, wonder if we can spend a similar amount on Takehiro Tomiyasu.? Get Yoshi to twist his arm for us.

We may have to move quickly for his replacement hence took the money and ran

DId Bertie ever really commit to Ralphs ideologies? Look at the metrics on Who Scored for him and KWP last year and you can see why the attacks were so imbalanced to the right hand side of the pitch. With Perraud and Livramento as players who can run with the ball (and arguable Djenepo) we get more balance to our attacks. Sofascore's ratings list Perraud higher than Bertie for Creativity, attacking and Technique. only a touch lower on Defensiveness.

NHSX who "will take forward digital transformation in the NHS, allowing patients and staff to benefit from the latest digital systems and technology." cant even figure out how to scale a screen for a tablet? a mad idea created by then Health Secretary and former Digital secretary who was in charge of his own app. there is no way that an inhouse NHS tech team could create an adequate app. but if anyone asks for a certificate you can just tell them you're exempt:- Using the NHS COVID Pass - NHSX "Please ask your customer if they can demonstrate their COVID-19 status using the NHS COVID Pass.. This allows your customer to respond with information about a self declared medical exemption. If your customer confirms that they have a self declared exemption, but is unable to show any evidence, you should allow them access to your venue or event. You must not ask for proof of their medical exemption and it is not essential they show any form of exemption card at any point."

ICM Stellar handle Grealish, JWP and Adam Armstrong. They'll know the situation quite well.

Richarlson just getting back from the Olympics, wonder if he'll just slot into Benitez's tactics. a fairly strong squad for them took a 4-0 thumping from Man U over the weekend, and their incomings have been few and far between. I'm thinking 1-1 on this one.

"A lot" 🤣 He's not been in the starting line up only 6 times since Hassenhuttl became manager. Hes a £25mil+ CB at the moment.

Delap?

Papers are still talking about Lookman for Burnley or Palace. He scored more goals under Hassenhuttl at RBL in 11 games than under Scott Parker at Fulham in 35. We've got to be in for him, surely?

which article is that from, Please?

Maybe he was our number one target until we had the money to pay for someone better. We were targeting him before the ing approach. Surely the extra money adjusts our plans.

What Saints Extra thinks Tom Leach says is not what Tom Leach Says:-

The Irony being Austin failing to push on as a player contributed to that.

It really isn't difficult to go onto twitter and see that @ed_Aar0ns only has ever tweeted 6 times and has no blue tick, and that actual guardian writer twitter is @ed_aarons.

Given the Ings deal was supposedly done quickly, it was money that we didn't expect. This would probably enable us to widen our options for a new striker. Whereas the Norwich link to Armstrong was probably designed to pressure us to put in a quick raised bid. We need to spend the money well, and not be forced into rash decisions
