Saint Garrett

And we all know, that Zaha can't take being wound up by the fans, as the last few seasons have proved.

At least it's during the transfer window...really we signed Djenepo and Boufal to be first choice wide players but neither have been good enough or consistent enough to be first choice, appreciate Boufal was signed for a different system. I'm sorry but Redmond, Armstrong and Djenepo is not enough depth to last the season IMO. That's not Smallbone's position, especially if we're needing him to attack, and Tella is a gamble given he's an unproven kid. If Boufal goes, we should absolutely be bringing in another player who will push those 3, and cover for injuries, given Armstrong and Djenepo seem to spend quite a lot of time injured.

Thats just not true is it,.

Out of context, given you don't include outgoings...

Stupidly cheap given how much it would cost us to replace him, and how thin the squad already is

An interesting one, no-one seems to know who owns him, as he's on a two year loan with an obligatory buy after x appearances...be interesting to see how that one plays out...

Think we need the "First XI" need as many minutes as possible...need to get up to speed as a few of them look off the pace at the moment.

We know how this ends - sadly...

Might see a bit of him picking up the ball and pinging out to Armstrong or KWP then....

Actually think they've recruited quite well though, and actually we might get unlucky in that Zaha might still be there. Regardless of him being a total prick, he's still a decent player, and with him Eze and Batshiuyi, they've quite a dangerous attack. Still should win though, we're away.

Bloody Telegraph paywall!

Including this weekends?!

If we were mid season I'd predict a saints win every time, but first game we're normally poor. However it does feel different under Ralph... "Usual" team so: Mccarthy; KWP Bednarek Stephens Bertrand; JWP, Romeu; Armstrong Ings Adams Redmond. Fingers crossed we can start off with a win. The lack of pre-season minutes worries me, but I'm expecting us to be fitter than most other teams to start with.

Very interesting, just finished listening. Thanks for that.

Going to palace isn’t he?!

So, are we going into the season with 60 mins under our belt? Seems a bit light...?

Anyone know if we’re playing today?

Inevitable, given it means they don't have to pay their debts.

He's a talent for sure, but never applies that talent, he's probabaly had 4 good games for us... West Brom away Palace away Man Utd home Probably another I've missed. He deserves abuse for playing in an FA Cup Semi Final and wandering about like it was a pre-season friendly. Disgrace of a performance.

Yeah - Wolves away, and Sheff Utd home, are both very odd, looks like two kits stuck together - dreadful. all of Palace's are shit, why do clubs not put stripes to the top? Newcastle's are all decent. WBA's are pretty awful, especially that third kit, hideous. Hummel have done a decent job with all of Evertons. Some really bland boring kits, Leeds, Chelsea, Leicester, West Ham all very dull. Like all of City's and Arsenals are both pretty smart, as are Man Utd's. I like the fact ours is a bit different this season, and certainly towards the top of the list

Claus?

Looks perfect. Sign him up

Think it's a good signing, he's not a winger, hes more of a "#10". Supposedly not a Zaha replacement. Probably will replace the dreadful Ayew in their starting line up

Odd...either there was someone and they're now back (Redmond) or there was never anyone and Redmond was awol for a few weeks.... Weird...

Is he the new Vegard Forren?
