Satisfied with the team. Hope we shoot right out of the gates. They aren’t used to top quality opposition so could shell shock them.

I would be thrilled with Spertsyan. The critic in me says to not get too excited about the yearly big missed summer target though…

We’re going to walk this league.

I can inuit that yukon take any more.

I understand, but I will always want Saints to compete at the absolute highest level possible. I also enjoy, as GITR put it so well, bloodying the noses of the entitled princes of the PL.

NTT20 Fan survey

Wednesday's transfer fee restriction has been extended to the 2026-27 window. They will be unable to conduct any transfers involving a fee until summer 2027..

I think Wednesday fans would have something to say about that list...

AI based on Indian English.

Frankly I think we’ll trounce them. They aren’t really anything special in this league in neither squad or manager. I still expect us to be a bit lethargic and shaky throughout but a couple of flashes will win us the game.

My heart says Downes doesn’t really care to be here and would jump at a half decent offer.

And we’ll probably pull in at least three times that in total this window if we sell Fernandes as well. crazy money. Props to SR

Yes, and for that reason I've been fairly impressed with our sales the last 2 relegation windows. So many fans were licking their lips at the thought of us fire selling half of squad on the cheap.

Fair enough to the selling team. Now only if the buying team could get it together we could be selling off kids for 70m+ in the PL.

To be fair I think Everton will be a different beast under this new ownership. I expect them to move upwards whilst some other staples continue to capitulate. For players, one of the PL’s more exciting projects

He’s not good enough.

We could have kept him if SR cared about staying up.

Celtic 11 points clear after match 1. RM must be fuming

To be honest, I am hoping we get one or two last minute talented youth fringe players that we might be able to progress into a purchase if promoted, like THB.

Martin must be weeping that Bazunu’s from RoI and thus not a realistic target for Rangers

No we definitely have positions we need to buy, in my opinion a couple of MF, winger and GK, but I suppose I just have a bit of a hangover from last summer

If they’re just going to buy more deadwood they can keep the money to themselves and it can contribute to getting a rolls royce player upon promotion

Trouble with Bazunu is not only is he not very good he is a symbol of SR keeping a bad player on hoping he comes good for the sake of profit

THB is an interesting one, he always felt a little bit lethargic to me, but maybe a tough preseason will have made him a bit sharper

I understand that people wanted some more experienced signings, and I too think we need some, particularly a decently weathered GK. But I think the kids and younger 20s will be the stand outs this season, particularly the ones who were away for 2024-25's car crash. Charles, Robinson, Welington, Quarshie, Downs, Edwards, I'm hoping for them all to have a strong impact. They've looked tidy in pre-season. Hard to say this early, but I think we might finally be breaking away from the malaise of Mara, Edozie, Sulemana and Djenepo.
