The Fat Controller

Bednarek now has to be Janny b Goode 

There’s a couple of players not getting game time - so May be loan options

GK Karl Darlow from Newcastle

cheeky enquiry for Kalvin Phillips from Man City to the end of the season - ok doubtful/ massive wages etc

Should have broke the bank for Juan Mata- would have been hell of a signing for a leader in the group

we’ve never replaced Steven Davis or Ingsy and it shows 

I think we should take a closer look at the Iranian striker Medhi Taremi who scored twice against England today.

his record at Porto and prior to that  is pretty good but the only down side is he is 30 years old.

If only we could get Ings back and sign Broja as well would be a half decent transfer window 😎

Nathan Redmond & Jack Stephens have been average 

signed at at a time when the club motto was “turning potential into excellence “

that worked out well - both are no better!

Could do worse than getting Sammy Lee back or even Stuart Pearce

THINK OF THE RESALE VALUE!!! 

Angus Gunn was highly rated at City

543 Premier League appearances between JWP and Romeu.

And no realistic back up if either get injured

We need an older experienced pro in the midfield

personally if we could afford him then Juan Mata could fit the bill - ok he’s 34 but still could do a job for us

McCarthy isn’t worth a new contract I’d rather go with Harry Lewis instead

That ‘sweetener’ amounts to a payment to Chelsea and effectively is the same as them selling his contract, I would have thought.

Live in hope 👍

As I understand it, away tickets have not yet gone on sale to Chelsea for our home game with then on April 9th. With Chelsea not allowed to sell tickets (or much else) I guess it throws up a couple of interesting scenarios:

- Will the away end now be allocated for home use for this game? Or are they considered “sold” by the club already and we can therefore expect to see an empty away end?

- We know Chelsea can’t sell tickets, so what measures will be in place to ensure significant numbers of Chelsea fans cannot buy home tickets? There is surely a significant safety concern here.

- Assuming there is no segregation and away end gets sold as home, is there a chance of a complete sellout which could in turn mean a new record attendance?

- Again assuming home fans only, it will be interesting to see whether we do sell out, and if so how quickly we do so. It could be very useful for the stadium expansion discussion if we are able to see a real world example of just how many fans over current capacity we could get if more seats were actually available.

Saints could sell direct to Chelsea fans and keep the money?

Food for thought

We could do ourselves , Chelsea , and Broja a massive favour.

Chelsea obviously skint, under current circumstances.

saints should offer to pay up Broja’s remaining 4 years Chelsea wages as a sweetener , in turn Chelsea could then agree to terminate his contract Mutually and release him as a free agent to Saints with a massive buy back clause

Broja then signs 4 year deal with Saints on Say £70k a week , so with the release we fee as well would equate to around £125k a week in wages.

we get Broja , Chelsea save on his wages, Broja probably happy

If anyone wants tickets I’ve just put 3 in The Chapel Block 18 Row 00 on ticket exchange due to unable to go stuck at home with Covid

Just realised he is doing a reverse Shearer.. Newcastle Blackburn Saints ... Let's hope he had the same impact!

Doing. Beattie - that went alright

Let’s be frank - pre COVID most of us on the fan base me included thought Vestergaard was awful- most were saying to get rid of him.

if we get £20 million for him do we take it  and say cheers and move on to a new player?

Gary Cahill as experienced cover on a 1 year deal 

If Danny attracts the right money the options to replace him could be Abraham on loan ( if Ings goes to Chelsea)

Free Agent Giroud will still get goals - ok not our usual deal with older players but surely worth a punt

Another player who is distantly linked to us Randall Kolo Muani at FC Nantes one year left on his contract

The big problem we have at Saints is we keep signing 8 stone 5’10 players.

they may be good players but they are too easily beaten

Minamino, Djenepo, even Diallo

all good players but physically weak
when you look at ex players that beefed themselves up and now compete stronger

Gareth  Bale, Luke Shaw, & Michail Antonio just to name a few

Sammy Lee is one of the most respected coaches - when with Koeman here the players loved working with him.

as for the Goalie coach we missed the bus by not bringing “Budgie” John Burridge back to the club when he retired- a proper keeper and decent coach 

End his loan now 

bring him back and play him at RB

I’ll put my tin helmet and bullet proof vest on now 😂😂

If you were Ings or Bertrand would you sign a new deal after seeing that we will always be a selling club - unless our fake Sheikh Owner sells the club.

so many false dawns in previous transfer windows especially the lies back in the Les Reed days on deals like Alderweireld signing permanently etc..

Yes the club is skint as so are many others, let’s hope our better players are back sooner than later

We need premier league experience

Chris Smalling ( Loan)

Giroud ( Loan)

Then get the Benfica lad in On permanent Deal
