Agree. I don't think anything nefarious went on here. I think we were prepared to save money on the GK situation by going for Bijlow on loan, medical confidence dependent. We didn't get the reassurances we were hoping for and have just reallocated budget to buy in the GK position (and ended up with RM's #1 preference) rather than loan someone in, meaning we will probably now use our spare PL loan slot for a wide player/striker rather than buying one of those.

Agree. Think it's likely we get a winger on loan from a PL club, sign Fraser for a small fee and bring in a striker on loan from abroad (seemingly Yuri Alberto)

Reassuring to hear... "We’ve worked a lot the last few days in training that when the two 8s get the ball, they should drive forward in the middle and have someone run on that top line, and Cameron did that brilliantly tonight. He is going to be an outstanding player for us."

Johnstone was doing his medical today and Wolves are phoning round trying to see if anyone can fix them up with a CB, so I think they're done on the GK front

Martin on Ramsdale: "If it happens it would be amazing, and I’m sure we’ll talk about it if and when it does happen."

London away please. AFC Wimbledon or Leyton Orient preferable

Holy fuck what a goal James Bree

Cracking instinctive finish on the turn from Archer, go on lad

Fuck me, never thought I'd say it but 'Alex McCarthy would have saved that' Let's hope nothing ever happens to Ramsdale and AMC

Also, fair fucks to Ramsdale for getting out of the cushty #2 gig at Arsenal on big money and coming to Saints to scrap it out. Respect

If you're wondering why the fee is £18m with the rest built in as bonuses...

Ornstein is the oracle of Arsenal news, so that's that

£25m fee agreed between Arsenal and Saints for a permanent deal

Wow I wonder who Romano's source is on this one then

Give it a few more games and you'll be able to get tickets...

In talks with Toulouse over Zakaria Aboukhal apparently. 24 year old right winger, Morocco international (21 caps). 15 goals in 42 games in 22/23 and 3 in 5 in 23/24 before an injury
