"Zero" "No one" Adam Armstrong had 13 assists in our promotion season.

They'd struggle to get any good loan players, as they aren't allowed to pay loan fees.

They do not play in the same role/position. It isn't one or the other, they want both.

Ed Sheeran gets number 17. What number should we give Craig David?

He was signed for a nominal amount from a high school. It is not a burden on our finances. He has very high potential based on reports from the FM Japanese head researcher.

Ward-Prowse and Tella played games for us in August 2023 before the window shut. August 2023 - Played 4, won 3, drew 1 and lost 0, Points 10 out of 12 It was after the window shut that we had the 4 defeats in a row.

Is that you ruling out Quarshie and Downs being useful starters from the beginning of the season?

Why is that confusing? @Saint Fan CaM

Transfer windows existed long before Sky Sports News. The Football League introduced a transfer deadline day in the 1950s. The transfer window closed in late March every year from the 1950s until 2002 when the January window was introduced.

One reason is not every league system worldwide runs from August to May like ours does.

Why wouldn't Fernandes be fit enough? He had 3 or so days off for illness and then training for a week before the game? I'd also not rule out the other bar Harwood-Bellis, especially as we don't know the full details of their injuries/recoveries.

Zero evidence of that happening to this point. Only money going in, not out.

20% of the profit, not the total fee

If you are talking about Ross Stewart, his was not a minor injury.

Minor injuries do not prevent transfers. Medicals look for injuries that will impact the future. You can pass a medical even if you are currently injured. Plus in any case he is already back in training so not injured.

Even if Gavin Bazunu is 1st choice we still need another keeper, as Joe Lumley left. I doubt the club will use Dylan Moody as 3rd choice for league games beyond the end of the window. 3rd choice keepers go to every 1st team game even if not on the subs bench, if he did that he'd miss academy gametime that a 17 year old keeper needs to develop.

Being devoid of PL quality is irrelevant to them being very good at Championship level.

The FM ratings are my opinion, so I don't base my opinion on the ratings it is the other way round. You say 'at the moment ' but the last FM data you could have seen is from February 2024. Saints FM data 18 months later is very different!

It is not true It does not meet definition of a fire sale. A "fire sale" is actively looking to sell assets cheaply. That is not what they are doing.

They've spent in that ballpark very recently
