Saint Garrett

If he isn’t going to play here. And he’s on a significant wage, better giving a shit premier league player to a rival, let’s just hope he plays. Assume they’re paying us a significant loan fee and covering all wages. We don’t need him.

Yes. Because we wanted him to play full back as well as midfield, and he wanted to play on CM.

Shall we have a thread for talking about threads? Probably create another one for Man Utd

Is he available? Surely if he is, then some bigger clubs would be in for him. I know he was heavily linekd with Forest for €15m and then they signed Gibbs-White for £50m so something doesnt quite add up there. Completely different type of player to Garner though.

A very "saints" deal. If we lose Romeu or Diallo, he'd be a great replacement I think. Not sure how much he would expect to play though, but gives us an option of 3 in the middle. I do wonder if we're planning for life without Prowsey if he goes next summer

Plenty of clubs within an hour of Birmingham...whether they can afford him is a slightly different conversation...

Most of our transfers are, which is why when stuff arrives in the media (i.e. Ramos) it's proably not true.

Paqueta would be a cracking signing for West Ham.

Newcastle signing Alexander Isak for €75m..might be out the Ramos race if they were ever in it.

Stolen straight from Leicester on Saturday, although it fitted better for them as they sung it about Dewsbury-Hall

Probably Shane Long when we signed him? £12m, which is the equiv of £30m now.

Guessing that there is a knock on affect of whether they qualify for the Champions League, and how much they need the money. See what happens and if a silly bid arrives they will probably accept it. Still not sure we're in for him though.

I think so. No idea of stats but Armstrong seems to give the ball away much more than Elyounoussi, but that might be eyes playing tricks on me. He works hard, and thought he had a decent enough game at Leicester, and was involved with the second goal. I don't have a problem with him starting, but I'd like to see us upgrade on both personally.

He was ok, not much more than that. Kept checking back onto his right which you'd expect. He would do a job in emergencies, but not sure you'd want him there for longer than 1 or 2 games.

Not sure what's happened to this kid. Was expecting him to be involved last night, given our lack of full backs. Maybe the ship has sailed for him? (or train?!) Anyone know of his situation? Injured? On the way out? Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up back at Ross County.

Yup that's my point

I quite like having two threads. One for Pre Match and Match, and then one for Motm/match reaction. Quite nice when you've come back from the game, reading the match reaction, rather than having to scroll through a load of the crap in the match thread trying to find the match reaction. My personal opinion

I still think Ramos is a smokescreen for someone else. Not sure we've ever been in for him.

Yup - roads were no fun whatsoever! got back to Basingstoke about 00:45. yawn... Apparently when they redesigned the stand we were in, they put it where it is, because when they redevelop the opposite end they're going to move the pitch towards the away end stand.

He wants out, mainly because he's just had a baby and wants to move back closer to his family in Birmingham. He's been a decent signing for Saints all in all. Always been a decent pro behind the scenes too. I'm hoping he'll stay, as he's also good for the younger guys, but think it's highly likely he leaves before the end of the window.

Yup absolutely, you see it with all the great players, that they have the self belief, he certainly has that. Great to see.

Think we will probably continue with the 4-1-4-1 we are playing atm. Bazunu; KWP ABK Sali Djenepo; Lavia; Elyounoussi JWP Aribo AArmstrong; Adams

Looked like he knew he was going to score last night, from the moment he stepped on the pitch. Huge talent. Congratulations on your first senior goal Dom! Chant needs some work…

Yeah, exactly. Probably L1/L2 level I'd guess.

Amazing really, he's on track to be fully fit for after the world cup. I guess there isn't much point in trying to rush him back before that.
