Perraud is the second signing of the transfer window. Walcott was first...

You have seemingly missed the point of the question. It was a question to highlight the irrelevance of a 'bigness' debate to modern football for the 2021/22 season.

He has been linked with Saints in a number of publications (rehashing each other) for the last few weeks. It may have started with this article on 15th June... https://m.tuttomercatoweb.com/calcio-estero/tmw-dall-europeo-sfiorato-alle-sirene-di-mercato-la-premier-league-chiama-brais-mendez-1547632

I'm not your 'mate' and if you don't want to see my posts then put me on mute and stop complaining.

You said... 'Their trophies hauls make them a bigger club historically. No debate. Fact. And you apparently love fact.' So I asked my question to make a point that 'bigger club' definitions based on historical events 39 years ago are meaningless in regards to what happens in the new 2021/22 season. So it is an entirely relevant questions, used to highlight the flaw in your statement.

You appear to think I've said something I haven't said!

I haven't confused it. I asked you a question, you still haven't answered.

That doesn't answer the question at all! The question was... How does them winning the European cup for example 39 years ago in 1982 have any bearing on football in the 2021/22 season?

Not entirely as sometimes the purpose of time wasting is to break up the flow and pace of the game by slowing things down and preventing the opponent building and/or maintaining momentum.

You missed my point, even if they are 'bigger'.... so what? Sure they can outspend us currently, doesn't mean they'll finish above us. We've been above them for the majority of the last decade!

How does than manifest in reality? Sure they can outspend us currently, doesn't mean they'll finish above us. We've been above them for the majority of the last decade!

He has already played for Saints as a 'best of the rest' team finishing 8th, 7th, 6th and 8th in four seasons in a row with Saints. A slightly upwards move to an outside chance of that again isn't a huge leap for him that will turn his head. Plus... let's not write Saints off this season just yet... it is still only 3rd July!

So what? We should judge players on their own merits, not that of the team they come from.

Rare event... but I agree with you that the website is clickbait garbage 😁

ITK people know his name is Veysey, not Vassey! 😉

Entirely different sport! It is a basketball player and team! 😁

On what is that based?

Educated guesses occurring doesn't prove someone was ITK.

Did they say that? Wasn't it a signing completely out of the blue with no prior speculation?

He can be seen in the reveal video.

He is good enough to be a starter for a mid table Premier League team. Which is about our limit under current ownership.
