Given Brentford’s links with danish players, this would not surprise me. Never heard of him though.

Yep. He’s a tosser. Hasn’t handed in a transfer request either, VVD MK II

Sat on a meeting at the same time...!

And Depay linked to Chelsea too... Hudson Odoi, and Broja, yes please...

Aubameyang heading to Chelsea...

Yeah know what you mean. But despite them being in a bit of a mess, they still have, Amartey, Perreira, Ndidi, Tielemans, Vardy, Barnes, Iheanacho, Maddison, Justin, Amartey, Evans, most of which would get in our side...!

😂

So now that's official, it will be interesting to see if any of our players end up there. Lis, Valery and Lyanco were all linked a while back.

Given we generally don't put stuff in the public eye, my guess would be that Benfica have put it out there about Ramos, because they're trying to riase the price with Newcastle and Wolves interested, or we've stuck it in the public eye whilst we try and get a deal done elsewhere.

Why would you take our best midfielder out of midfield? DIallo would be a better option at RB rather than messing about with our midfield and having to move KWP. Too much disruption IMO. Regardless, it will be 3 at the back with Moussa at LWB. He's done a decent job there. Valery isn't a RB anymore, Stephens and Bednarek are a liability there, moving JWP out of midfield is a bad decision. We just need to hope Perraud is back fit soon.

Whats your alternative? I wouldn't be letting Djenepo play in a back 4 personally, and wouldn't want Valery at RB either. Possible that Stephens could play there but he'd get roasted at LB probably. Until Perraud is fit or we manage to sign a better replacement that will be happy not playing from October onwards, I wouldn't expect us to play a 4 atb...

Would have been a lovely away kit.

Similar to Wolves and Villa when they went up to tbf, and they're now established premier league clubs.

Wow, £45m for Gibbs White, I get wowed by the transfer fees sometimes but that is mental money for someone with half a decent season in the championship. they’ve spent some serious money, and 16 new players and counting, in struggling to keep up. Have Maupay, Dennis and Aouar signed for them yet ?

Think it’s highly likely given Perraud is out. Adams only trained today, but should be ok for the weekend. Interesting…

Will be very interesting to see the next set of accounts.

I guess the plan is to invest in the squad with players that we can flog for big money in the next 3 or 4 years, and if they don't get sold they will still be quality players for us, i.e. Tino, JWP, KWP levels right now. Let's say Lavia, Bazunu, Mara, Garner are all bought this summer, and flogged for £30m a pop on average, we can then reinvest that money into the club in 2/3 years. The only issue is if they're shit. 😂

Thats the spirit 😂

Still possible but wouldn’t expect it. Striker is more important I guess.

Well, my gut feeling is that we will hold onto 1 or 2. Djenepo clearly most likely to stay I think, which is why he’s playing atm. And a better option than Bednarek.

Yup exactly. And we can get by with the current squad, Stephens, JWP, Diallo, Bednarek. Redmond Djenepo have all played at full back / wing back, They we’re expecting Perraud to be out until mid September so bit of a miracle he’s back already tbh. The loan deals we’ve tried to do, have been so expensive, and like you say, they won’t play after January, and will probably barely play before that.

Beaut city though. 👌

I did think when I saw that, he’d be a very “saintsy” signing, From what I’m told we aren’t signing another full back.

Can’t remember the last time we supposedly went head to head with another premier league club and won, apart from maybe Tino last year with Brighton. I know nothing about him, but given it’s in the public eye, and no local Journo has binned it, then maybe there is a chance…

Seems so, disappointing to say the least 😂
