Toussaint

Do you think that’s realistic if he is set on leaving, with him or anyone for that matter? All I see with that situation as allowing us to change a higher fee. I don’t like it but if rather we got rid of everyone who’s going asap

True, which is why at this stage I’m not bothered.

When will it end you say? When all the players who are too good for the championship and will attract premium fees have gone. It’s a horrible reality we are now a relatively small fish being circled by much bigger fish. Also, if they don’t want to be here and fight the good fight they can Foxtrot-Oscar as far as I am concerned.

He said "life sucks, what's the point in doing anything anyway as the only certainties are death and taxes". He went on to say "that current projections are that we will be ground sharing with AFC Totton on 4 years time, if we are not all dead by then through global conflict, pestilence and climate change, possibly all three on the same day". Not his usual style but nevertheless, honest.

Stay right there while I dig up my rifle from under the veggie patch ...

Well I’d never heard of Piroe until he gained legendary status on here a few weeks ago. I really don’t care who he has signed for and that we haven’t signed him, I don’t even know if we were even interested. Time to move on. Goodnight 😴

A petrol station

He must be the easiest player to “track”, the trackers wouldn’t need to accelerate beyond a gentle trot.

Oh bollox, planned my evening around watching Hibs v Villa to see it’s all done and dusted

If you’ve come to read about transfers your going to be disappointed, today especially

I think they were last season.

I thought this would be the week, still time but I expected more activity than this. Which isn’t necessarily a problem as the club are probably keeping a tight lid on everything, but it’s frustrating for us.

And Harper

What I would say to that is Stephens wasn’t here, but apparently did well at Bournemouth, J B was shown the door by wreckit Ralph . They have both been good in the past but Ralph’s disastrous 4222 left central defenders hopelessly exposed when the high - half aresed press inevitably broke down, often with both full backs stranded up the pitch. I don’t think they are our biggest concern if they are the CB pairing this season. Although we do need cover and others pushing for those positions.

I was thinking Stones, Mark Wright or VVD based on how comfortable he looks on the ball.

Sounds more of a Brighton sort of signing.

Me neither, basing everything I "know" on the YouTube highlights, but then I had no inters in the championship until this season..

Looks a bit special if YouTube Highlights are anything to go by

Perhaps we have a cunning plan to sell or our players and buy most of Swansea's, the clubs could merge and would be called Southsea, hey, wait, that really doesn't work!

From recollection he’s wanted away or nearly left in the last three windows, he clearly doesn’t want to be here. As much as I wanted him to stay, it always felt nailed on he would leave if a premier league club wanted him. The reality is there is nothing the club could do about this one.

I don’t think skill and ability are his issues, it’s good old fashioned work rate, application and desire, which he has to find within himself

Where is the little shit?

Are you available for therapy? Asking for a friend...

I’m still on the fence with SR. Yes last season was a shocker, but since then almost all personal have changed, Rambo has had his wings clipped, Dragan has undertaken to have more oversight, the failed old guard who it seems were causing problems have gone. I was never of the school of thought there were positives in relegation, I’d have preferred it had we scraped through and rebuilt from there. It’s a hell of a long road back, and the daunting realisation of the reality of our diminished status is quite hard to deal with at times.

But then it’s Calvert Lewin, so could be a season ending injury 🙄
