Who knows? To be honest I don't really look at the figures of supposed bids - they're probably way off and the things are complicated by so many clauses, percentage up front etc etc. I doubt actual specific details get leaked anyway so about the only thing I take away is that we probably have made a bid. You'd like to think that things wouldn't progress to an actual bid unless the purchasing club figured they could get in the same ballpark.

27M is their starting position and they'll come down from that (can't see anyone else meeting that valuation). My guess is he'll probably go for around 22 - 24M which is probably about right for the current market and it's not much more than we paid for Sulemana. Whether he's worth that, or more importantly worth spending the bulk of our money on (if that ends up being the case) is another question.

Loan Charles to Celtic, get Skipp in on loan.

Carvalho played in an advanced midfield role for Fulham and Hull fairly often (not sure about Liverpool as I haven't seen him play for them). They're not the same type of player but can play in the same position.

Don't know anything about him but good stats in the Jupiler Pro Europe Play Offs - 7 goals in 10 games and two assists.

What on earth is a shadow striker? Sounds like something we should be shipping to Ukraine.

I didn't watch the game so it's hard for me to comment but there's a world of difference between pre-season friendlies and competitive games. Personally I wouldn't make any kind of judgement, good or bad, on the basis of a pre-season friendly.

Slightly adjacent to us but seems like Galatasary have had a 20M+ bid accepted for Gabriel Sara who some have thought could be a decent fallback if Matt O'Riley doesn't happen. Just goes to show how expensive even non-premier league players can be. My YouTube algorithm still chucks up a load of Leeds videos and they seem to be quite excited by the idea they could get Rak-Sakyi. As an antidote to this lull in the transfer window I'd recommend looking at Leeds videos of the play off final both previews and post match - they're quite funny with the benefit of hindsight.

Suspect she'll get tired of all the playing around at the back soon enough.

I thought the scouts had an age limit?

Ah, you're changing the goalposts now. First it was he didn't have that forward pass and now it's a combination of doesn't do it enough/told to play that way. Tell you what, you make up your mind which it is and I'll get back to you.

What, like the pass Smallbone made for Armstrong to score in the play off final? Front facing killer pass like that?

Yeah, don’t blame the club for signing him and can see why they did. He even looked decent in his first few games but for whatever reason it’s not happened and can’t see it ever working out now.

Yeah, that’s bullshit.

Indeed and she’s already using the border bill that Trump caused to fail as a decent attack against him. I think the phrase she used was “proof that Trump doesn’t care about the border, he only cares about himself”.

Sort of linked to Goztepe but Welington - on the total saints podcast last night Steve Grant was talking about highly regarded he was in Brazil. Would love to know where he found that as seems precious little on him and what there is definitely isn't complimentary.

I'm not fussy tbh. Whatever you got. Beats people talking about goalkeepers or circle of twats.

Rule 1 for the teachers and sisters please.

Contract until 2026 and chairman saying it would take a big bid for them to sell. Of course they all say that but they got a good deal on Gyokeros (or however you spell it) so a deal wouldn't be easy. Sara at Norwich is the same with a contract 'till 2026. I think a loan at Celtic for Charles makes sense but makes the O'Riley deal much more expensive if we have to replace Charles (which I think we probably do).

People (mostly sports commentators) adding "years of age". As in Lamine Yamal, just 17 years of age. He's 17. Just say he's 17. That's all that's required. No one is going to mistake it for 17 stone (of weight) or 17 metres (of height).

Personally think Camara was a potential if the Downes deal didn't happen. Camara really isn't a similar player to O'Riley - 1 goal and 4 assists in over 30 games last season.

Since when have we been allowed to pick the club we support, and why wasn't I told? Fucks sake, it's probably too late now.

Which begs the question, what the fuck you doing on this thread?

Decent signing on the face of it although he looks more like a striker than someone who can or should play wide.

No, that would be a miracle.
