Indeed. There's a difference between "I don't want to play for Saints ever again under any circumstances" and "Yes, I'd happily play for Saints again if the wages were competitive". Some people seem to be conflating the latter with the former...?
Indeed... And whilst we're dishing out self-congratulatory pats on the back, I'd like to remind people that I said we wouldn't be signing Messi at the start of the window. If that's not worthy of a Mutley Medal I don't know what is
The part where I asked the other day for a link to an interview/ article where he actually said this and none was forthcoming....? Feel free to oblige...
So, a bit of a selection headache all of a sudden....?
I think this is possibly our best 11 on paper, but not sure Russ is quite ready to ring the changes this much...?
Ramsdale
Suga - THB - Bednarek - KWP
Downes - Big Les
Dibling - Fernandes - AA / BBD
Archer
Yep, that was my first thought too when he came on. May even have been a bit of a two fingered gesture towards Hoffenheim about it too, given how badly they appeared to deal with the situation... "look, he's fit to play you muppets"...
I was the gynecologist who artificially inseminated his mother and could see straight away from the svelte-like way his spermatozoon moved that he was destined to follow in Grealish's footsteps.
# Hypothetical question klaxon #
What would the club's hierarchy do if a big club slapped down a stupidly high offer for Dibling before the window slams shut...?
As posted on the match thread, I'd be surprised if Russ starts him on Saturday after running himself into the ground this evening. You never know though. If not this weekend, he has to become a regular starter.
Yep, agree. His demotion from back-up to 3rd choice keeper when Bazunu got injured still baffles me (notwithstanding that it turned out alright in hindsight of course)
Yeah, and seemingly goes against Russ's "we won't break the wage structure" declaration yesterday. Unless, as you say, he's taken a significant pay cut.
