We have a month of the window left! Transfers are generally left until late on at most clubs for numerous good reasons that have been outlined on here multiple times every window.

We still have a lot of the squad that were promoted from the Championship. Plus our assistant manager has recently been promoted from the Championship.

Fun and games for Dragan Solak. He is owed €200 million... https://www.ft.com/content/0c6cbb27-48e8-40b9-818e-13a4854abc9b?shareType=nongift

I think it would still be considered a good (but not great) season if they closed the currently considerable gap between the two clubs even if they were still 2nd.

They’ve given up then, because of he was filmed and photographed in training this week!

Yep...

He'd be right! He is far above the level of the rest of our squad, bar Fernandes.

I wouldn't take accounts that call themselves "the home of reliable rumours" with only 166 followers seriously. We need to be selling centre backs, not buying more.

Are you under contract with her until 2029?

I did not say they would or should say no. But given he is under contract until 2029, if no bid is deemed high enough... then they could.

He doesn't have a choice on that one if the club say no.

Not if Newcastle activate the option to buy.

Not probably, definitely. The article is a suggestion, not a rumour.

No it isn't. Clubs use it to play close(ish) to a starting XI for their first league game.

That link is not a link to Saints or a transfer rumour. It is a rehash of an Echo article (that it links to) that makes suggestions about what RC Lens players Saints could sign. So it is not a link saying Saints are interested in him, it is suggesting him as a transfer.

Won't be that high if he had a 40% relegation reduction like other Saints players

Wouldn't that kill the club rather than save it?

The first two wouldn't be near our first team last season even though we were appalling. They are currently at the level of 3rd and 4th tier loans. We have other youngsters performing at a higher level than both of them.

Using what mechanism could they do that?

Perhaps they tried, but no-one was willing to pay this summer.

Step in and do what?

£4m loan fee
