That is Ron and Harry, Hagrid has a flying motorbike 😉

That isn't going to happen.

@Turkish Would be best done in a lounge thread.

He'd be a starter, but it is one of the positions we don't really need another player. Other positions are more of a priority. Central midfield number 6 and number 8 roles has... Downes Fernandes Ugochukwu Dibling Smallbone Aribo Lallana Adding Ward-Prowse makes 8 players for 3 roles. Would need to lose someone if he joined.

Start a thread in the lounge about this and we can discuss it there.

If those beliefs are homophobic, then yes. Depends on what is meant by 'forced'.

Yep @Turkish copying my 13th January 2024 tweet 😉😇 https://x.com/MatthewLeGod/status/1746243836618170812

I said it on 13th January 2024! 😉😇 I win! https://x.com/MatthewLeGod/status/1746243836618170812 Beat you by 8 months!

Both say 9 minutes ago. I honestly did not see yours before I hit send.

1980s era Le Tiss had a bit of pace about him, soon dropped off into the 90s due to his diet and fitness levels

6 minutes ago for both

Nothing to do with the liking of low socks. It is similarities in playing style.

Snap Wrote that at the same time! Great minds think alike Turkish 😉

Reminds me of Villa era Jack Grealish

Bella-Kotchap had even less of a pre-season and out performed them both tonight.

If Bella-Kotchap stays... he should be above Stephens, Wood and Edwards in the pecking order. Looked very composed today and is a very good player. Obviously other hurdles to navigate as well for him to be integrated back into the squad.

It was not remotely close to our first choice defence or keeper. None of them played!

Juan Larios López

Cheap because they are out of contract! Plus not just Brazilians we've signed for to loan to Goztepe, Kuryu Matsuki looks very promising.

He is on PL level wages, foreign teams that would want him will struggle to afford to match them. Plus Saints paid £20m+ for him relatively recently, they won't want to make a big loss on him.

There is a buy option on him. If he does well and they take up the buy option he is in the Sport Republic group and has a way to get a UK work permit. If he does very well, he could end up moving to Saints.

Taylor dropped Manning down the pecking order for left back on the day he signed.

It is on Sky Sports/Now TV

He would over the course of a season. He is a lot better.
