4231 system is being used

What the owner of the group says has more weight than what the chairman of the sister club says.

Rasmus said it because he was sat in front of Turkish media and Goztepe fans. He doesn't want to upset them. He knows Saints are have a significantly bigger income, match going fanbase, better infrastructure, academy etc etc than Goztepe. Saints are the keystone club in the group as the owner Dragan Solak has stated publicly.

This is nonsense. Even it wasn't obvious that we are the keystone club, Dragan Solak has also said it in interview.

Why not? If we did go up... we'd sign new players in the summer.

Eckert has used Matsuki there in the 4231

Absolutely, we spent a similar-ish fee on Scienza, so if they pull off a signing like him as a replacement rather than another Damion Downs, we come out of the window stronger.

I wouldn't credit Alex Crook for any probability of event likelihoods.

It isn't a disastrous fee for a 28-year-old with only 1 year left on his contract. Especially one who is very good in the Championship but out of his depth in the Premier League. Plus it isn't the only money they have. They received a lot of cash in the summer some may be ready for this window, plus have sold Edwards, will get a loan fee for Aribo and a fee for Edozie if he goes.

We play a one striker system so don't really need a replacement for 4th choice Downs. Another striker only needed if Archer actually goes, but his move might be contingent on Armstrong staying/leaving.

Replacement for Armstrong incoming...

The article words it as "£2m of achievable add-ons". Wolves staying up isn't really achievable. They will be a Championship club next season. So the £2m will probably be for appearances & goals. Both of which are achievable for him in the Championship.

Which bit do you find funny? I even used the words 'very outside chance'. So didn't say it was likely.

Because we still have a very outside chance of the playoffs. So don't want to strengthen a potential rival.

How do you know that?
