There has been no Saints link to Rui Patrício, multiple reliable sources have linked Saints to Justin Bijlow.

Looks unlikely given the Justin Bijlow news

Still doesn't make it his fault. He clearly impressed enough in those seasons to return to the PL in big money moves and for a title challenger like Arsenal. Plus he has since those times been first choice for a PL title challenger (until recently) and is 2nd choice for England. He would be a massive upgrade on McCarthy. (In FM25 terms... he'd be our best player!)

So what? Niemi was relegated with us and many view him as one of our best ever keepers. Lallana and Schneiderlin were relegated to League One. Lavia and Livramento were relegated with us. Relegation doesn't mean every individual was the issue, not good enough or tainted.

FM wonderkid klaxon! 😇

Read the article, they can't spend it

Wolves have sold circa £100m worth of players this summer which weakened them https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgq2vg873pdo

Any medical he does for any club would pick it up, so it being public doesn't impact that.

How many players per position do you want them to have?

We have Archer, Brereton Diaz, Armstrong & Stewart. That is enough strikers or you start bloating the squad and struggle to keep them happy even though some will be dismissive of Stewart due to injuries.

Yes, he has. He was a regular for Peterborough in the Championship in 2021/22.

Ronnie Edwards will go further in his career than Greaves and £15m wasn't required to get him.

Why would they do that when it is fundamental to their business model? Even if they did do that, another broadcaster would take the contract, the public isn't going to lose interest. The Premier League would likely make a lot more money than they currently do if they made a PremFLix subscription service and cut out the middle man. I think this will eventually happen as the revenue would be huge, it just may take a while before they do it and would need to wait for deals to run out.

Mark Bitcon has been confirmed as having a new job title, he is now listed by the club as 'Director of Football operations'.

Not always the case!

Our B team looking a lot better vs Lazio than they did vs Oxford!

Onuachu is not in any way suited to Martin's style of play. Plan B for Martin is not a change in philosophy from possession to playing to a target man, it is tweaks to the formation or fresh legs with players who also fit the style.

He is 34 and very much on the decline and not the player he once was.
