Saint Garrett

But surely if we sell him for £18m, we get more than if we sell him for £10m - regardless of sell on clause. It was a dreadful deal for Saints financially.

Well I’d probably let Gabbi go back to Italy, let Long go, and bring in a striker better than any others.

Would be no surprise and don’t think we’d really miss him. As long as we bring in a top level starter...our squad is bloated

Rodwell has got karma, gambled his career by going to sit on the bench for a big club, didn’t play, joined a **** team and had a few **** seasons. Only think is he’s made a fortune, career has been a joke though

I’d happily take Welbeck, would be a great signing for us. Not sure how much he’d cost in fee and wages though? But yes yes yes !

Which would be utterly retarded - you'd think we would have had a deal all but completed when we stuck another keeper on our books - it's just terrible business sense - a club like ours cannot afford to pay 3 first choice keepers...

Cant see any big outgoings this late on personally.

Would expect wages to be a problem with him. Probably on £100k+

I mean Austin Gabbi Ings & Long wouldn’t give you too much hope...2 of which could spend the majority of the season in the treatment room.

Is there a loan window this year for league sides, or do all loans have to be done by the end of the transfer window?

Agree, will be 2 of the 3 CM's (Romeu / Lemina / Hojbjerg) and any of the current strikers, doesnt really matter which one. Hopefully we magic one out of somewhere!!!

Well if thats the case, it'll be something like... -------------------McCarthy/Gunn-------------------- ----------Yoshida Vestergaard Hoedt-------------- Cedric--------Lemina-------Hojbjerg--------Bertrand ---------Elyounoussi---------Armstrong----------------------- -----------------------Austin-------------------------

I mean you'd expect us to go with 3 at the back, I'd be very surprised if one of those is Bertrand! -------------------McCarthy/Gunn-------------------- ----------Yoshida Vestergaard Hoedt-------------- Cedric--------Lemina-------Hojbjerg--------Bertrand ---------------------Armstrong----------------------- --------------------Elyounoussi---------------------- -----------------------Austin------------------------- Romeu could easily sub in for either Lemina or Hobjerg, Gabbiadini in for Austin - would hope we have a new signing leading the line, think it's a bit of a shame we didnt bring in Plea...!

Hopefully not when they sign Boufal...

Decent signing I think, like the look of him, and would have happily taken him at Saints.

Supposedly it's going to be announced today, with BM announcing the signing of Plea today also.

Pretty sure Lovren could have got a few niggly yellows too.

We're all well aware our defence as it is is largely sh!t....add Vestergaard & Marlon in and you'd hope we're a lot stronger in that position...

Yeah. From what I hear Watson is a big fan of his and was the difference between him joining us at another side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Think all of the ones I suggested are over 21, and they’ll be others I don’t have on my list which will need to be counted or moved on who I have missed, I.e. Barnes, Flannigan, etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Don't forget they don't have to pay for a stadium...that helps...!

Certainly would expect them to be. Amstrong in the hole, Elyounoussi out wide, Vestergaard a starter, only one is maybe Gunn who will be fighting it out with McCarthy for the no 1 shirt. No harm in having competition in that position. My point was more that our squad still feels quite bloated if you include any of the other youngsters who now have to be counted...with the added assumption of the 6 highlighted leaving which may not even happen.

How many players do we currently have who will have to be counted in the 25 man squad? Currently including Vestergaard and Gunn... GK's: McCarthy Gunn Forster Rose DF's: Hoedt Stephens Vestergaard Yoshida Bednarek Targett Bertrand McQueen Cedric MF's: Lemina Romeu Hojbjerg Reed Davis Armstrong JWP Clasie AM's: Redmond Elyounassi Boufal Sims ST's: Austin Gabbiadini Long Gallagher Thats 28 players...assuming we find a home for the ones in bold that leaves us with 23 players. Also doesn't include the "youngsters" that now have to be counted in the squad (not sure how many of these there are now?) Still probably a wide man and a striker away from the squad as of August too...

Would have prefered Leicester to also get moved tbh, can't make that one...!
