Matthew Le God

It wasn't. He scored 4 goals for Waterford's 1st team in Ireland in competitive games.

He destroyed our under 18s team a few years ago. We couldn't cope with his strength and speed.

He had had quite a lot of minutes this summer for Man City's 1st team. Scoring 2 goals, one vs a Korean League select team and one vs Inter Milan.

The Daily Mail say we are in talks for Mubama

...or I was joking (So it is in fact you who was taking the other person literally, not me!)

We'd be arrested for indecent exposure

We won 2-0, had 74% possession and 25 shots. The 1st half looked a little rusty but it was the first competitive game and we looked a lot better as the game went on. Hardly a disaster!

Correct 👍

He effectively has 2 years left on his contract, as the club has a one year extension option.

Pre-season is about building fitness. A high quality opponent isn't required. Most pre seasons we only play one or two top league European teams and we did that this summer when we played a Bundesliga team.

We signed him for €500,000. Some of that money will be due this window. Seemingly a bargain at that price!

Traore has left on loan with Le Mans having an option to buy. So Saints aren't keen on keeping him.
