the saint in winchester

I rated him then when he was a gangly RW. Now he's a muscle-ripped ST I would rate him even more. Get him in. At £15M it's a yes from me.

Mitrovic Rondon only if we sell one of existing, mind

We don't know the 25 man squad yet, so be patient. All will be revealed. I would rearrange your list thusly: McCarthy. Gunn. Rose Cedric. Reed. Yoshida. Vestergaard. Hoedt. Bednarek. Bertrand. Targett. Stephens Romeu. Höjbjerg. Lemina. Hesketh(*). Armstrong Elyounoussi. Ward-Prowse. Sims. Redmond Gabbiadini. Long. Austin. Gallagher. Clasie, McQueen, Forster, Davis, Boufal all sold or loaned out. (*) I think Hesketh may be 'at risk' if we bring anyone else in.

Yoshida. Make him captain and regular starter.

LOLs.

Was going to say 5m plus addons, so if your 10m includes the add-ons, then we are agreed. We wasted 20m on Carillo, we can't afford to do that again.

Yeah, I've been bemused by people looking on Southgate and talking about him as if he's the Messiah. The constant slow passing up to half way and then back to the CBs and GK have been mind-numbing.

I dare say that if Bertrand stays, then we will likely let Targett go. But if an acceptable offer comes in for Bertie, then he would go and Targett must stay.

------------------ McCarthy ---------------- ------- Bednarek - Yoshida ------ Vestergaard ----------- Cedric ----------------------------------- Bertrand ------------ Romeu -------- Lemina -------------- Elyounoussi ------------------------------ Redmond -------------------- Austin ------------------------- I'm guided by LeG saying we will play 3-4-2-1. I want to play Armstrong but with that formation It's hard to start him. He would have to come off the bench in this setup.

Sorry, I'm just back from holibobs this week. Do I conclude that Eko from Kenya has been unmasked as the Cabbage Face doll?

Let's start the chant "Gallagher's Stayin' Home" (in line with a certain current chant/song)

HCDAJFSE https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44791411 Have we found a customer for FF?

I'd second that emotion. Think he is quality and could step up to Premier League.

Yes, I wonder if we will ever find out. Either the (physical) hardware is damaged beyond repair, or the (mental) software is malfunctioning. Is it something in his personal life? Is it depression? We can only speculate. It is a shame as he was a great keeper for us but he isn't at the level he was. The acquisition of Gunn suggests the club are looking at another to compete with McCarthy now.

I presume he means Jannik Vestergaard, although I did for a moment think we were in for Yannik Bolasie.

09:12BREAKING NEWS Man City keeper Angus Gunn is close to joining Southampton, according to Sky sources. We are told a deal worth £13.5m has been agreed - £10m plus £3.5m in add-ons. Gunn will join subject to passing a medical and finalising personal terms.

Why do you think that? Reportedly on 90k a week, can't get in the side of (currently) a lower Prem side. Who would (a) need him, and (b) be prepared to afford him? Unless he is open to a compromise agreement? Or we loan him out and pay him £50k a week to play for someone else, I honestly can't see this being resolved anytime soon.

Gabbi has obviously been told the best way to beat jet lag is to STAY AWAKE!!

Yeah, does he go all out to try help Martinez beat France, or withdraw and not get involved too much? #conundrum #cantwincantlose

Looks like the Uruguay keeper came over all Forster at one point. Concussion? Flight of the ball?

Agree this, and that thought was going through my mind Tue night. Call either the captains together or the respective managers and make that point!

Nice one, I had a chuckle at that. True though.

Yeah, this is unwatchable, just a series of stills and jump forward every 45 secs. Was hoping to see how the new guys look, but will have to wait until later games.

Surely Stephens at RB, Bert partnering Hoedt?

That's harsh. We've brought in expensive imports and paid them a fortune yet overlooked our 'young gun' who is free and cheap to run. Unless Mbappe is available for £20M and would take £50k pw, we are stuck with what we have as they are all on contracts with us.
