Lee On Solent Saint

But why then lose two attacking players? I would have pushed to get Sully out of the door ahead of Tella, price met or not.

Begs the question, why we let Tella go ahead of him?

Am sure all the relevant checks are in place for a medical, just when you read sentences like if you can keep him fit, doesn't feel you with much confidence.

Feels like a massive gamble to me, not sure its one we can afford to take.

Or perhaps Swansea really didn't want to do business with us. Unlikely I know, but maybe not as crazy as we would think.

Wasn't it suggested that he's holding out for Bournemouth?

Should fit right in with our current central defence then.

I don't think the nucleus of the squad was that bad last season. We had more than enough quality to stay up, as is displayed by all the departures. As been said many times, it was the chronic mismanagement of the team that relegated us. We still had enough time to escape after the sacking of Jones, yet somehow the club still contrived to replace him with someone equally as inept. Had we replaced Ralph with a decent manager we would have stayed up no problem. Possibly meaning Everton would be in our shoes now.

I guess a lot of it depends on Calvert Lewin and if they think he can last a season without getting injured. Will need some kind of cover I suppose. Maupay hasn't exactly lit up the place, but the same could be said for Adams if he makes the move. He's not an out and out goalscorer.

Not sure, no solid links to moving, would be very last minute if he goes.

Was hoping we would keep him for competition for Manning. Not sure I'd want Larios or Meghoma to step in if needed. I know KWP can play left back, but that would leave Bree in on the right.

Top 6 team for him? Slightly above their station that one I think.

Too much of a gamble for me

Is that our badge on his shin pads?

Not all bids etc are in the public domain. Fraser signing today came out of nowhere relatively speaking.

Don't be silly. You had actual ITK information. That immediately disqualifies you from membership

I would hazard a guess that Everton weren't his only option

Ask Manji

Don't really blame Tella for wanting to go. Must have felt like a massive kick in the teeth to him when we loaned him out to Burnley and ended up playing the likes of Edozie and Mara ahead of him.

30m loan fee we paid for Holgate

Possibly holding out for other interested clubs? Think that was mentioned earlier.

I would say that now to be honest. If no talks or acceptable bids in by Friday, everyone stays that we want to keep hold of. Fringe players and squad fillers, free to still move.

Guess the CoT knew this for weeks

Squeaky arse time coming up

Am stunned that Pickford is still there. Few clubs were changing keepers this close season. Surprised Spurs weren't in for him.
