SBV Vitesse Arnhem are a Dutch team, not Belgian. Broja wasn't really a regular international until he joined Saints.

Not signing a striker by 19th July doesn't mean one won't be signed by the 1st league game.

The context of my post was responding to someone implying it was adding to our first team lack of experience.

Those two aren't going to be for the 1st team this season. They are signings for the academy as 1st year scholars.

By who? He is being linked with multiple Championship clubs this summer... https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-city-chelsea-tino-anjorin-24516940

How about it boosting their confidence...

Too much to unpack in one post!

I think we could see Bazunu, Bella-Kotchap and Aribo all start in the 1st PL game, I also wouldn't be ruling out Lavia making a strong case to start vs Spurs either. So it isn't window dressing at all.

Meanwhile @Turkish...

Currently no Saints first team game scheduled to take place at St Mary’s from 5th November to 26th December.

Nope

If Broja fell out with Hasenhuttl, and they are still on bad terms... how does that sit with the multiple reports of Saints wanting Broja to return this summer?

Has he? Where is a reliable source for that?

How would anyone know?

Does gardening leave really stop Glover telling Leicester to buy a certain player before he joins them?

News that impacts future kits and the club’s bank balance...

Perhaps not at all. He is making a good early case to start vs Spurs.

I haven't defended the usage of the formation. I pointed out that 352 has 8 central players, so isn't lacking centrally.

Looking better 2nd half with a higher quality of player on the pitch.

I think... Salisu Bednarek Bella-Kotchap Lyanco Stephens Valery Is the correct order of quality for them. So Ralph is correct on them. With Bella-Kotchap the unknown quantity.
