sockeye

If he doesn't play though his value certainly doesn't go up. His value is only high because he showed what he can do in the Premier League last season.

That will be a big achievement. The league is strong this year.

Got my Wrexham ticket, looking forward to it. Still loads available but we are just about a month away after all.

Just read that Chelsea get $142.3 million for winning the Club World Cup. Not exactly healthy for the game.

Agreed - Ramsdale loan, Johansson first choice moving to second when we get promoted. It really is that easy.

I am looking forward to seeing more from the kids this season, Robinson in particular I think will be a breakout star

We’re going to walk this league.

If McCarthy extends I’m going to see red. Where’s Bazunu at anyway?

Hope the supporter in the east stand is doing okay.

Stewart as he stubbed his toe during training

Ramsdale isn't qualifying for England by sitting on the bench or playing for a team where he will proceed to let in tons of goals. That leaves only mid-table and above sides that are crying out for a number 1, of which I can think of... zero. I don't think a spot will open up for him unless their existing number 1s get injured. In my opinion, he can only realistically replace Trafford as a third-choice keeper under those conditions even after a good season, unless Johnstone and/or Pickford get injured. And if the latter two get injured, he'd probably be able to get into the side as part of a title-winning Saints squad...

Knowing the management, it probably will be another youngster with potential. I get the feeling they believe the older core of the team is adequate. The best Championship players get snatched up by foreign clubs or PL clubs every summer anyway, so it comes back to trying to grab a player before they have a breakout season, whether that's young or experienced, English league or foreign league.

If SR manage to unload Fraser I would be very impressed. That was the most immediately offensive signing to me last summer, completely unnecessary. I don't think he has much value neither financially nor on the pitch so I'm more expecting us to keep him until his contract expires next year. Maybe Still can get some use out of him.

Most biologically impressive pitch in the Championship, you'll never sing that

One of Stephens' duties is likely grooming Smallbone to take over the captaincy in 2028. He is JWP from Temu after all

I haven't seen anything from Stephens that suggests he deserves a three-year extension. He is a mediocre player and is not good enough for the Premier League, which is where we are aiming to be. As a captain, he sets a terrible example with poor discipline (reminder: he missed NINE games from two red cards because of his conduct) and organisational skills. He should have been a squad player for this season only and nothing more.

Seems like a decent signing with a lot of promising attributes. Let's hope he hits the ground running!

The PL should stream those 10 games and give the revenue to the state. Now that's a way of filling the ten trillion pound black hole!

Chelsea will offer him 30k per week and that will be that.

Kicking a dead horse at this point guys.

Onuachu the BFG - Ball Fumbling Giant

Picture it, the terror on John Mousinho’s face as a seventh goes in and we move 10 points clear.

Fans. Just a funny tidbit imo which sort of reflects how they see themselves nowadays

Bournemouth don’t rate him any more and their fans call him Relegation Ramsdale

Heart rate spiked; thought the club was waving goodbye.
