Vestergaard still needs replacing. We'd need another centre back even with Salisu becoming 1st choice.

Not an extensive list then! Of that list only McCarthy, Adams and Redmond are likely starters. Adams in particular and Redmond are both a class above Championship level players. Redmond of course is frustratingly inconsistent, but on form he is a useful PL player.

Yes

On what is you assessment of Armstrong based?

Vestergaard only has a year left of his contract, so getting more than we paid may prove difficult.

How much of Armstrong have you seen to write him off being able to perform next season in the Premier League?

Which players are you claiming to be 'Championship level'?

How have you come to that conclusion?

Good point! Another rare Saints Web moment where we are united!

Yep, good point.

Are Ward-Prowse, Bednarek, Armstrong, Ings, Romeu and Vestergaard better or worse under Ralph than they were when he first joined?

God works in mysterious ways

I doubt he'd be remotely affordable for us. Linked with some of the elite European teams and has 4 years left on his contract. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/manchester-united-transfer-news-real-madrid-join-race-for-leverkusen-starlet-moussa-diaby

They are not original! 😉

Halftime entertainment...

Redmond is not incompetent. He is massively and frustratingly inconsistent. When he is on form he is a very good player and a big asset for Saints. It is just those games are rare.

I didn't say he was.

It isn't a like for like comparison. My point was that Djenepo is 4 years behind Redmond in his development.

You should watch some highlights videos to get an idea of him at his best. Of course it comes with a caveat of being a highlights reel but it will still give you an idea of what he is capable off on a good day. There is no chance Saints can sign a player who has already recently scored 22 PL goals in a season. So signing players like Adams and Armstrong and developing them is the way to go.

I think his composure has already improved in his time at the club. He is a better player now than in his opening 30 games for Saints.

He is 4 years younger.

Why do you think Adams doesn't have potential to progress? He already had a pretty decent goalscoring season last season.

I stated the source was the Mirror. I passed no comment on the likelihood of it being true or bullshit.
