Good stuff

Speed of thought?

Personally I think the ings deal got announced before we really wanted it to. I think most would say it was a bit out of the blue in so far as no rumours etc. Until then we were looking for a striker to play alongside so only had so much money. Now every man and his dog knows we need a striker and have the money.

But does he know who he wants?

Funny but I was thinking about this a few weeks ago - along with Phil Boyer. Both good CFs in their time with us

Our midfielders take too much time to get their heads up. By the time they have the opportunity has gone - was the same with Danny ings.

How did you come up with b?

They bloody well should tho.

Been one spurious link that’s about it the rest is just posters speculating on how/if it would/could work.

With Leicesters scouting I’m surprised they would go for JWP. Would need to be a record (or close to it) fee for them?

At his worst he was light years ahead of lurch.

Best to hope for a draw - not a happy hunting ground for us.

Thanks for the balance

David Armstrong and one of shilts or niemi

And as you are proving on saints web.

We needed to get players in now to compete at U23 level so that they can make the step up in a season or two. If we didn’t then the cost to us in transfer fees in two years would have crippled us as we would need to buy a few.

And Norwich apparently

👍 from me.

You are Glasgow saint aren’t you

Some interesting comments from villas ceo. Freakish gone and they have got the players in place now - no mention of signing anyone else etc - link to his Twitter video is over on one of the other threads

I’m amazed that some still don’t get it but hey ho let’s just knock the club.

No according to the guff he has said on the avfc side of things - even had to keep it from his dad (bless). 3 weeks is a very long time to keep things “secret” in the football world. Which was why we had so many WTF I didn’t see that coming.

That’s what I thought tbh.

Allegedly he was in talks with Spurs but they wouldn’t match his salary expectations. So if it’s about the money why did he not end up there?

I think you mean lack of money. Ambition doesn’t come into it if you haven’t got a pot to piss in.
