I don’t care if either are any good, I’m just glad we get some rumours again

I think in football or in any job, sometimes places work out and sometimes they don’t. Every club has ones which don’t go their way. Lemina was a good signing. He has shown himself to be a great premier league player in short spells. We all knew if he had the mindset he could be quality. But the timing was wrong. However, that is actually an example of good scouting. Technically he’s a brilliant footballer. It’s all the others on that list that are shocking. Like… what the actual fuck were the scouts looking at? I watched 5 minutes of Guido Carrillo and it was obvious he was atrocious. Same with many of those others. Just never, ever premier league players, let alone top half which is where we were at the time. The club are just blind/stupid in certain positions. Bazunu is another example. Ludicrous, ludicrous money. Does anyone know anything about the back room recruitment team? Did they all leave with Cortese? I sincerely hope we have sacked anyone involved with most of the last few seasons’ scouting and recruited people that actually watch football

Agree with all the above. Recruitment is the most important thing for a club of our size. To serve up as many duds as we have in recent times has crippled us. We need to recruit a scouting team that can consistently find us gems like they did under Cortese and the following seasons. It’s not all about big money - look at Steven Davis, Jay Rod, even Cork. Etc. All signed for cheap and had quality PL careers. So we know it can be done.

2-1 saints. Dibling on to score a late winner.

Sounds like you might need a new hobby. We are going to be underdogs in every game no matter who else we sign. We may lose some matches (a lot), but we may surprise a few. Why not back the team instead of being ridiculously negative before a ball is even kicked? It’s going to be a tough season so the club needs the fanbase more than ever.

What’s funny is they’ve spent all that money, assembled such a huge squad and yet it is still bang average. Will be very surprised if they even make Europa league spots

Despite your sarcasm the sad reality is that he’s the best striker currently at the club. So we’d be wise to play to his strengths tbh

They are top of the red and yellow card lists in La Liga for a reason. Absolute shit houses. (We probably need to learn a thing or two from them tbh. Glad we coped with it quite well).

Club has been saying this for over a year now. Joke of a signing

I really want to be positive… ….but unless we spend like 100mil this week it’s gonna be a very difficult season. And there’s more chance of Ross Stewart kicking a football than us spending that sort of money.

Comfortable, easy saints win. Not sure what all the fuss is about

Importance: 1) Goalkeeper 2) Striker 3) DM

Would take him back in a heartbeat. Works hard, good attitude, still fast. Good cross. Dunno why people are being overly harsh on him, he had a great season and is easily good enough for a PL squad. Will always look lively off the bench. Signing him on a free is a no brainer for me.

Would be one of our best signings in recent history if we can pull it off. He’s an absolutely brilliant keeper. Would love it to happen.

This has to be the biggest hopium I’ve ever seen

Winners: city top 4: arsenal, villa, spurs Saints: surprise people, things click, 12-15th Relegated: Leicester, Everton, Forest

I really hope this is some sort of joke. Wtf is that

Who?

There’s nothing to be negative about this season really We will be massive underdogs in almost every game so may as well back the lads and just enjoy what we can Also the Championship is more fun anyway so if we go down it doesn’t matter.

Are you high? Che worse than Mara? On what planet?

Is Mara actually worse than guido Carrillo? At least Carrillo actually ran and I saw him hold the ball up once. Mara is fucking embarrassing I have to say it’s pretty close. How we have signed two of the worst strikers I have ever seen so close to each other is really baffling. Horrific footballer

Yeah.. if it’s strength work you can do that anywhere. Im sure there are squat racks in Spain.

That was fucking terrible. Watched that in a bar on holiday full of Sunderland fans. They’re a good bunch actually but they gave me a lot of shit 😂. I thought they’d have an OK season after that but nothing ever seems to go right for them

Thanks Che. Always worked hard. Feels like a good time to part ways as we need better in the PL. But I wish him well which is more than I can say for a lot of players from the relegation season.

Yeah it’s suspect. If they were really just taking their time with him, he’d be training in Spain. Basically have zero strikers at the club going into the Premier League. Not good.
