If Palace do want Dibling, they must surely have one (or more) player who would be of use to us on a part-ex, who would struggle to get much of a look-in with them.

If we were going to sign the Armenian wouldn’t we need to sign two Armenians? I know people say Southampton is a cosmopolitan city, but he is surely going to need an Imants Bledelis / Kleber Chala type to pick the colours out of the snooker table pockets when he’s on a decent-sized break (?).

He sounds a bit like a cheap version of Tom Fellows (who is also quite tall).

Damn these You Tube videos. I am never watching another one, having been wowed by seeing Quarshie run 80 yards in 2 seconds. Nowhere did it show that he couldn't control a ball or pass it 3 yards to a colleague.

Clearly we must have upset City last season in getting our magnificent 12th point.

I thought we were getting a RB in on loan (?).

How do you know?

Sadly alas this is true. Paying over £10 million to (skint) Bordeaux for Sekou Mara was the height of philanthropy.

How do you know?

Didn’t Juve piss us about with Alcaraz? Balls to them.

Good question. Seems to have gone rather quiet on that front.

Ipswich spent a lot last season though, didn't they??

The ex-Brighton guy? That’s too random to be made up…..

We bought him for £12 million, rising to £15 million with add-ons. More chance of us starting with Chloe Kelly up front against Wrexham than us making a profit on him. Chloe Kelly up front would be a bit novel, mind…..

Craig Mackail-Smith?????

Glasgow Rangers fans seem to be getting excited at the potential prospect of Brooks signing for them. Bizarrely, Brooks has been quoted as saying he would play for Brent for life. What an odd thing to say. He appears to have succumbed to the cult. Possible typo in that last sentence….

That's the sort of completely random name which could have some substance to it......

I would be very unsurprised if we were being used by Downs’ representatives to get a better contract out of Cologne. He holds all the cards with just one year left on his contract. I assume Spors has other back-up options.

England fans coming back from yesterday’s game?

Sargent has been linked with following Farke to Leeds.

As many of you will sadly know, Elijah Khaira was tragically taken far too young in the summer. It would be wonderful if our fans could pay tribute to him at Saturday's game in the 20th minute. Please spread the word; it would mean the world to his family and friends. Thank you. https://x.com/Nick_SO19/status/1833062013762748891

They’re going to struggle to grasp his accent at Goztepe….

I would have liked Weghorst at Saints….

They have enough difficulty keeping the number of away game credits up to date as it is. Cardiff hasn’t been added yet, and won’t be until overnight tonight. I rang the ticket office to query this earlier on.

Oh yeah, I remember the West Brom away play-off game, when they seemed to have a large proportion of one whole block reserved… More reason to sell a few more players over the next couple of days…
