I think he's in the last year of his deal mate.

I'd take us over the french any day.

Let's hope it's that and not a bunch of toads in a bag telling us the princess is in another castle!

I do view Scienza as a bit of a luxury signing but boy has it been a while since we've had one of those. Hopefully ze German can get it done.

You sure you don't mean Danns?

I first saw it from an Italian blog. Asked my friend from Naples if he had an idea on him, said not too much but that he knows he has been considered to be a good prospect in the Italian youth system for some time.

I think the one might be more likely to be Scienza given BBD is out the door.

Decent terms those.

No promises on the height of the balls in there 😂 I believe we do everything in-house. Only reason I know is I looked into it as I'm a motion designer myself. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/creative-studio

Did some research on this, Still doesn't set up for headed goals it's about low driven crosses and cutbacks. So mobile players who can finish off either foot are preferrable.

Can play left or right side. Right footed so stronger there. I think brought in to allow Breezy to leave given he's in his last year (maybe back to Mad Nate at Charlton?) and can cover Welly as he's injured.

This saints media team has too much time on it's hands. Exellent work. 😂

Assume this will be for Jelert.

Bit of research on Doumbia reveals hes a bit more of a well rounded/box to box than an anchor/destroyer. But strengths are his positional play, physical attributes and range of passing. Sounds like more of an Ugochukwu style midfielder.

For context Wanyama was 22 when we signed him and had played a similar number of senior matches too.

I'm enjoying the ruthlessness of it all tbh. It's quite refreshing.

Downes or Smallbone you'd think. The fee involved is higher than I guess I'd have expected for a Smallbone replacement but we've seamingly been spending when needed again.

Just saw this. Supposedly a physically strong CM. Guessing Spors might have inside track on Serie A given his time at Genoa

Between him and Manning on direct freekicks we might have finally replaced JWPs dead ball output.

Scienza looks most likely in terms of permanents, reportedly close to being done. (BBD leaving helps the case too) Could see a last minute loan or two tomorrow depending on outgoings.

Leeds Tiwtter currently going through the Spertsyan song and dance. You love to see it. 🥲
