Lee On Solent Saint

We aren't going to replace Baz. He's the number one for this season. I have no doubt about that.

The keeper was supposed to of interest, wouldn't be surprised if someone takes a punt on Faes as well. Possibly a market aboard for some of their squad.

It will be interesting to note if the same thing happens to Ipswich and Leicester. Think so far Ipswich have only lost Delap of any consequence. Morsy maybe too? Leicester despite the perceived financial issues have only lost Vardy who was out of contract anyway. I know the window is only open for another month, but if they escape with their squads pretty much intact from last season it's mot a great look for SR.

You think? Bree? Fraser? Stephens? Bazunu? Manning? That team starts next week, it's not getting a result against Wrexham

That's a horrific line up, even for Championship standards.

Not sure about that. Bree at right back is horrific. Offers very little going forward.

Stiill not fancying Edwards then? Bree at right back is horrific.

Was Lyanco part of that window too?

Even that is going to be difficult! You'd think how much of a love in he had with Martin he'd be wanting to sign him again.

Unfortunately, I think we are going to be hard pressed to find buyers for those two.

Then why dress it up as a loan? What's the point? Either way he's not playing for us again. Guess it's another clever way of avoiding the PSR circus.

Would you not agree a permanent transfer is better than this loan shite?

This loan idea is complete bullshit. Just sell him for the highest fee possible.

No chance. Bazunu is the number one again this season. Was always going to be the case.

Love to know how you feel about Jack Stephens in that case

Have to hope that THB stays really. A central pairing of Quarshie and either Stephens or Wood is pretty horrific even at Championship level.

Grateful to the club! I bet he is. Three years security on a contract he should never have been given. Ridiculous.

Agreed. Good move for him. Personally don't really get the dislike for him to be honest, Did a decent enough job, and for the money we paid for him was a good value.

Wood is definitely one I thought Martin might have come in for.

The loan market for us is going to be absolutely crucial.

He's getting his excuses in early. Not calling the game season defining.

Possibly. Maybe he's earmarked for that under 21 player mentor role and some point.

Agreed it isn't. But if we do gain promotion then the end of the coming season would have been the ideal opportunity to say thanks Jack, off you go on a free transfer.

Probably a very simplistic view, but if by some miracle selling Dibling to keep Ramsdale and Ferndades was the plan, then that would be terrific. Not that I ever expect it to happen.

I think, certainly from my point of view anyway, the extension was totally unnecssary. The situation could have been reviewed at the end of the season. Ultimately we didn't need to sign him up for another three years.
