Saint Garrett

Would expect he's on too much money here which rules him out going back to Italy. He needs to be considerably better than he was last year to be first pick though...

Should just let him have his own thread, then Bournemouth / Glasgow / Heisenberg / EkonOkereke and whatever his other logins are, can have a conversation with himself. Bring back the football.

Cheers - have given a load of different cars a thought and still no closer to knowing what I want... Thought about potentially the Golf GTE. Might have a look at the A5 also. Don't really want a diesel as only ever had them - fancy a change. Have done a bit of research and although leasing does seem to be a really good option, a few people have mentioned about getting a loan and paying it off that way.

Painful this thread.

Difference is, that we need some quality and have done for ages - you'd have liked to think that we would have acted early to create a bit of a buzz after a dreadful 2 seasons of dross football. It's not like we already have a good squad and we need 1 or 2 to improve us, we need 2/3 just to keep us in the league next year.

There isn't many cheap players in the championship...some are going for £15m+ who have never played in the prem, it's mental. If we want cheap players, itll be from leagues which can't match the wages...i.e Italy.

Bump.

Shocking kit. What were they thinking with the black trim?!

1 in midfield? Not sure that'll work in the further stages...we'd get completely overrun, Dier isn't good enough to play there on his own IMO.

1. Overseas TV deal weighted in favour of the already rich clubs. This I dont agree with, but understand why they've done it...more interest in larger clubs etc 2. Amazon getting the TV rights meaning people have to fork out on anther service. Who cares, you'll be able to find streams easier online for free if it's on Amazon 3. League cup losing extra time and gaining VAR in premier league grounds. Not sure why this is a problem. Not a huge VAR fan but it's the future of football 4. Winter break in the premier league from 2019/20 Just aligning with the rest of Europe and should have a benefit of the national team. Who really cares 5. 5th Round of the FA cup moved to midweek making it harder for travelling fans. Who cares, a lot of fans will still go.

Would go... --------------------Butland -----------Walker-Stones-Maguire---------- Tripper--------------------------------Rose ----Loftus-Cheek---Dier---Henderson----- --------------Sterling---Kane---------------

One of the big problems is, that when the accounts are released, they're always so outdated, it's difficult to gauge the current state...!

Is the WC going to be on UHD?

£58k supposedly...

News to me... I've seen the obvious third kit rumours, however nothing on the home kit. Personally I'd rather they just kept a similar kit to this years, but unlikely...guessing we can't have stripes on the back anymore, so will probably look pretty awful by default.Possibly the home kit will be the same but with red and white stripes...sure someone can mock this up using some internet tool...(not Bournemouth / Glasgow / Heisenberg / Ekon Okereke)?

for 5 different accounts too...!

Come on Mods this guy is painful.

Regardless of whether we play 2 or 3 at CB next season, we still need a first choice CB.

Would be interested to hear how much he's earning, probably upwards of £150k a week at that fee...?

And Virgil & Fonte, and Pelle & Mane...etc

He is a class act when he wants to be, however his attitude can be questioned. That performance against Chelsea at Wembley is one of the poorest by effort that I've seen anyone have in a Saints shirt, his effort was pathetic. However, if we can get him on side and playing well and regularly and he gets a bit more luck with injuries, then we have a brilliant player.

Is De Ligt out of our reach? Jordan Torunarigha? Maybe we should be looking at St Etienne, they had a good defensive record last season...Neven Subotic, Loic Perrin?

Should end up something like... You can have a play around on here...https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/bracket/prediction
