He's a good kid. I don't know if he'll ever be suitable for the physicality of the English leagues, so I believe the best case scenario is that he absolutely smashes it this season and a La Liga side picks him up next summer.

Only the version of Armstrong who isn't a centre striker. I think our wings could do with a bit of fluffing up perhaps but I think we'll be okay in the middle.

That Olympiakos strip is lovely.

I always wonder if our poor recent history gives a bit of a smokescreen for young players who have underperformed to get decent moves out. We've finished 20th, 4th, 20th in the last three years so I wonder if that makes clubs think "he's not gotten good service from teammates", "suffered from a lack of stability", "not given a good environment to develop" etc. leading to them taking a chance on players like Mara. Players that although they are still young have not shown anything special whilst here.

Potential Armstrong replacement?

Ah, I forgot that all these preseason (or postseason?) competitions kicked off basicially straight away... Well, hope he doesn't relax too much!

Puma’s quality hasn’t really impressed me thus far. I don’t tend to buy kits though except for special seasons where we win something. It’s been quite a while…

That is horrific news, he was a star. Condolences to his family.

Hopefully he’ll get a run out for the Eastleigh game. Maybe at 80 minutes when we’re 6-0 up? 😁

Thanks Eni Aluko

Cheers Juric. That's everyone from that disastrous January 2023 window gone now. (Well, except Bree, but he was relatively cheap.)

Fair enough, £7 million is a lot less than it used to be. Hopeful that Downs can start well then, Bundesliga 2 is a good league to be blooded in. Also hopeful that BBD can be shipped out. Archer, don’t mind giving him a crack this season, I think he will get a decent return.

The last few years have been fraught with forward deals especially falling through at the end of the window. He may not be the 15 goals per season in the Championship striker a lot of us were hoping for, but yep, credit for getting it done as soon as possible.

That's a considerable amount of money at this level. Let's hope he kicks on relatively quickly.

Wonder if Ramsdale would be more likely to stay if his mate was here? (Conpletely delusional)

Am I correct in saying that players will be able to walk away from the club now? Combined with their transfer embargo, dire times lie ahead for them.

Saints app has just sent me a notification. I open it and a video of a magic 8 ball shaking plays. At the end it says “No Doubt About It” with a date of 3/7. So we’re signing Errol Brown’s ghost on Thursday?

He didn’t impress me in the PL last season. Would take £25m to make some money back on him. I reckon we could get closer to 30 though. In general, our defense is pretty large, and at this point, I would rather strengthen it if we were to get promoted first time of asking

Iaonnidis is too expensive for a Championship club

The Alvin and the Chipmunks backing track really compliments his performances

Suppose he’ll be playing for the U21s then? For his sake, hope he has a growth spurt due

After two and a half years playing for us you have to start looking at how he has performed rather than how he could perform. I think selling Sulemana for that price is a good move. If he comes good for Atalanta and tears it up in Serie A, good for him - just as well he won't be in the same league as us.

Love MLT strolling in at the end. Like he has a spare key cut.

I see Wrexham have already got a front page article on BBC Sport about their opening match against us. Going to be hearing a lot about them this season.

Break Colby Bishop's legs in September and we can probably send them down.
