Pat from Poole

He’s absolutely terrible. Slow, lazy and zero threat to the opposition. If Adam Armstrong or Che get injured, promotion is gone this season.

Well, we have Adam Armstrong and Che who can play centrally up top, particularly if we sign Benson, then Armstrong can revert to a striker. The moment Ross Stewart was ruled out for the season, we should have made a new striker the first priority. it is trusting to luck with injuries and suspensions to only have two strikers who can be a threat in this League. We didn’t have to sign Rothwell at all.

It’s not hate, FFS. He’s crap. Lazy, slow, little presence, doesn’t hold the ball up well. He has had too much game time as it is. He can only be trusted to come on the pitch when we are at least 2 goals up.

Indeed. And yet we still waste yet more time on the Mara experiment, which is destined never to amount to anything noteworthy.

Has Mandela ever surfaced in Leeds, by chance?

Could be a reference to Exeter.....

Is there any CoT merch doing the rounds? Nick Gregory could have coined it in big-time if he had sold it on his stall on Above Bar.

Chief Twat Alex Crook has confirmed ABK’s move to Bayern is off. Just wait to see if a Prem club comes in for him, I guess….

At the risk of asking a daft question, how would Ross Stewart pass a stringent medical?

Oh yes, how could I overlook him? 🙄

If we sign Paintsil, we then have Edozie, Fraser, Paintsil and Sam Amo as wide options. Have a feeling that Edozie and Sam Amo may struggle to get much game-time.

We could do a lot worse than Kiefer Moore if Boscombe were up for a part-ex deal......

If we lose him to Boscombe, that will be particularly galling.

Or that Leicester sell Iheanacho and make a move for Che. His hometown club, I think.....

If Wolves sign him after that sitter he missed up there last season, their fans will be less than amused, I suspect.....

Everton fan on the Ugly board thinks we may be after Maupay in part-ex for Che. Useless in the Prem but might do a job in the Championship maybe…..

Alex Crook (yes, I know 🙄) was saying this morning he thinks Che is holding out for another club to come in for him. This may not end well for us.

Don't think West Ham would want to loan him to Sheffield United; think there is bad blood between those two after that court case about Tevez / Mascherano. As for Luton, dunno. I suspect we are a club that Prem clubs would be happy to loan players to.

Play Tella more centrally and Sam Amo on the right-wing??

Alex Bloody Crook just said on Talk Sport to keep an eye on us making a move for Piroe when Adams leaves. Almost as if the clueless halfwit reads this forum….

And that will help us how exactly? If only we could sell Mara back to Bordeaux…

It was Pele. Viafara was heroic in the play-offs, his finest moment in a Saints shirt…

Yes. Martin will learn the hard way, it seems.

Well, I met him in Israel watching them, so I imagine he is…..

Apart from the bit when he said “Southampton have two excellent goalkeepers”…..🙄
