Fraser Fred

Swansea would be good for him. Luke Williams is RM’s old assistant manager, plays the same style and Swansea likely to be in mid-table purgatory so little pressure and plenty of minutes, you’d think

Edozie has loan offers from: Rangers Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday Swansea City + two unnamed Championship clubs

David Ornstein says Raheem Sterling to Arsenal is on. Would give Arteta the options of Saka, Sterling, Martinelli, Trossard out wide

Apparently there's a few clubs interested and not a guarantee he goes to Sheff Utd (according to Alfie House), but Saints not signing anything off until Cornet/Fraser in

Sky just said Ryan Fraser and Newcastle have now agreed a mutual termination. Free agent and just needs to sort formalities before signing as a Saints player

I'm sorry but have you just put Pele, Shearer and Chris Wood in the same list?

Fulham striker Jay Stansfield to Birmingham City for £12m

Telegraph saying Crystal Palace have made Odsonne Edouard available to loan at very late notice, obviously signing Cornet means we are out of the running

I don't think Cornet's camp would want to fuck us over, tbh. They currently represent Archer, Edozie, Lumley and they'll know that Cornet's signing facilitates getting Edozie out on loan (presumably)

Apparently our new U21 manager (Simon Rusk) was his England U19 head coach, so guessing that's where it came from

Bloody hell are we still going on about this? It's almost 2025 now (looked tidy the other night, good to have him in the group)

Signing both of them

Fraser as a squad option is fine. He’s better than Edozie right now and enables him to go and play regularly in the Championship, which he really needs to do. He’s totally ineffectual at PL level right now sadly Puts more experience and character in the dressing room too, which it definitely seems Russ values

Asked a friend who lives in the States and watches a tonne of MLS for his reaction: He's good. Like really good. England youth international but speaks with a real strong American accent, which is pretty funny. Says he isn't anything flashy but he stands out as a very mature, composed centre mid. Good range of passing, plays some great deep passes for wide players and forwards, just very tidy and high IQ for his age. Worth a trial for an English side to see how he stacks up against their own young players.

New England's season is likely to end in two games (too far off to make MLS playoffs, I think) so they will be in their off-season until March time. So this is a glorified trial for the lad and we just have to make a decision by the end of January as to whether we're going to buy him or send him back

Being reported that an unnamed Premier League club (understood to be Nottingham Forest) came in for Ramsdale after seeing Saints agree the deal with Arsenal, but Ramsdale's agent told them he wasn't interested because he'd already spoken to Russell Martin and said he was coming
