What position do you think he was in that was out of position for him? Martin largely used him out wide on the left, which is where he was effective for previous clubs.

I think Ramsdale is or is at least pretty close given he recently has done so. Plus Dibling and Fernandes might be in the future. I guess you mean 'in the squad of English clubs playing Champions League', because quite a few of our players would be good enough for at least some of the 36 teams in the league stage. Sturm Graz, Slovan Bratislava, Young Boys etc.

Juric just confirmed the plan is for Cornet loan to end early. Not a surprise.

Ivan Juric in his press conference this afternoon has just talked up Sulemana, Bella-Kotchap and Ugochukwu as players that weren't in favour under Martin who could have an impact for him. So would appear he is keen for all to stay.

More than just one or two. They've signed good keepers, defenders and midfielders and largely have got those right in recent windows. It is attacking players they have a blindspot for. I think largely because they take the approach of rather than signing one real quality attacker for a big price, they go for two players in a lower ability bracket for a similar combined price. They didn't splash out more on a player who would be a big threat. Instead we've bloated the squad with attacking players who will stand out in the Championship, but aren't good enough to make an impact in the Premier League.

Hyperbole! Let's not go to extremes and look at this rationally. He has scored 36 goals in his last 80 Championship games (often while playing out wide). Sunday league players can't do that. He is out of his depth in the Premier League, but would be a very useful player in the Championship! Same can be said for pretty much our entire squad bar a few that have PL quality like Ramsdale & Walker-Peters and a few others.

He looks out of his depth in the Premier League, but his quality is that of a top Championship player. We have had a very large number of players since Ali Dia who were not at the level of a top Championship player. Also it does not 'literally' look like he's won a competition.

We are now in a year of two FM releases! 😏

We have a squad packed with players that are top Championship level. Even if a few leave (Ramsdale, Dibling & Walker-Peters being the most likely) we still have depth to replace them. Archer, Stewart, Brereton Díaz and Armstrong have all caused big problems for opposing Championship defences, so would Onuachu if he stayed. Sure the squad is out of its depth at PL level, but with the current squad and the income advantage we have over 21 of the other clubs it isn't overly optimistic to see them challenging for an automatic spot.

As we are very likely to be Championship club in 6 months, he'd be very useful next season as he has shown he can be prolific in the Championship (36 goals in his last 80 games often from playing out wide). It is the summer after our next promotion we need to sell him as he isn't good enough for the PL.

Player still needs to agree.

You do not need to pay the release clause to sign a player. Clubs can accept below the clause fee. There are players with 1 billion EURO release fees, you do not need to spend a billion to sign them.

33 million EUROs is the release clause. That doesn't mean that is how much he'd cost. Every player in La Liga has to have a release clause in their contract as part of league rules.

You still aren't grasping this. It is not me unable to imagine things. You did not form it as a request to imagine and structure it as a question. You formed it as a statement with an implied thought or reflection rather than a direct inquiry seeking an answer. They was no question word. There was no question mark. Without them it is not a question. Bored of this now.

"Imagine how much we could spend if we had a 45k stadium." Using 'Imagine' is not the start of a question, it is a statement with an implied thought or reflection rather than a direct inquiry seeking an answer. It lacks a question word (e.g., who, what, where, when, why, or how) and does not end with a question mark to indicate a direct request for information or clarification. Instead, it functions as a hypothetical statement or invitation to ponder, rather than explicitly asking for an answer. Come Turkish, I thought you were better than this! Primary school level here!

Nonsense! You said... "Imagine how much we could spend if we had a 45k stadium." This is not a question it is a statement with an implied thought or reflection rather than a direct inquiry seeking an answer. It lacks a question word (e.g., who, what, where, when, why, or how) and does not end with a question mark to indicate a direct request for information or clarification. Instead, it functions as a hypothetical statement or invitation to ponder, rather than explicitly asking for an answer. Did you miss some primary school English classes?

That wasn't in your post. So answer my question first please.

There was no question in your post.

Why do you think Saints (and other clubs) are looking into stadium expansions?

Ramsdale was on £120k p/w at Arsenal, he'd be on similar here. That'll be more than Bournemouth are paying their big money buy Evanilson.

What exactly in that post are you disputing is correct?

The amount of money an owner can put into the club for transfers is restricted. If you max that out then any infrastructure investments which are exempt can not impact transfer funds.
