What questions do you think I haven't answered?

By 'this' you mean... ignore answering entirely relevant questions based on comparable players at similar sized clubs. Who would you rather Saints had at right back... Wan-Bissaka for £50m or Walker-Peters?

Pointing out that Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White is not 'nonsense', it is reality and is entirely relevant. Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them? Or worth as much as them with 3 years left on his contract.

That is not an answer to either question. Give an answer a try!

1) Were you stunned by Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? How do you think they managed to get £50m? 2) Do you think Walker-Peters isn't as good as either of them?

I'm guessing you were stunned when Crystal Palace got £50m for Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brighton got £50m for Ben White? That is the transfer market we live in. Walker-Peters is better than both of them, and his value is aided by 3 years left on his contract.

Are you ruling out any owner investment? If so... why?

He very easily is! He has 3 years left of his contract, so his value remains high. We live in a world where Aaron Wan Bissaka and Ben White were both sold for £50m!

How does getting him on a loan with an option solve the problem of other clubs blowing Saints out of the water?

That is the morning! 😉😇

We had this last week...

I think Aribo will be viewed as one of the two number 10s in the 4222. - Romeu with Lavia as back up for the number 6 role - Ward-Prowse with Diallo as backup for the number 8 role - Aribo, S.Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Redmond, Tella for two number 10 roles

Some people in the media are claiming he flew to Germany with the rest of the team for a training camp.

Deserves his own thread now as the rumour is more substantial coming from The Athletic...

It isn't a static 4222 or 442, it flows between the two depending on us attacking or defending and where on the pitch the ball is.

Paul Gascoigne’s just turned up at Downing Street with a fishing rod, four cans of lager and a copy of the ministerial code.

What about it is so inaccurate that it makes it not worth a read?

Outed? I passed no comment on the article, I just linked to an article people on this forum might like to read.

We don't yet know if £25m to £30m range players are out of reach for Sport Republic.
