The Kraken

He might but does he really give us anything that Adam Armstrong doesn’t? I still think we could do with a Lambertesque striker, thought it would be Piroe but that ship is obviously sailing so who knows. Maupay, meh, and I’d imagine his wages would be considerable.

I’m sure he doesn’t know in full what’s going on, but I get the feeling that Che Adams is being open and honest with the club about wanting away and what options he’s talking through with other clubs. Saints dropped him from the starting line up for the first two league games as a move was looking likely, I get the impression there’s decent communication between him and Wilcox. Of course we’ll all be much happier when the window is closed and we can get on with the season, but I’m reasonably confident if Che leaves we’ll get a striker in. Whether he’s actually any good or not…….

The words of Russell Martin last week, from TalkSport: “I love Che as a player and a person, he’s fantastic and will be huge for us if we can keep him. I don’t know about the talks being ongoing, I’ll talk to Jason Wilcox tonight. “I’d love to keep him. If we don’t, we need to replace him. It’s that simple.”

Where are the press reporting this? The only rumours I’ve seen are that Saints turned down Everton’s bid because it was only £t5M up front and the rest over the duration of the contract.

Fear not lads, the always reliable football insider has said we’re putting in a double bid for Piroe and Wood that will “blow Leeds out of the water”. https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-southampton-submitting-joint-bid-for-joel-piroe-and-swansea-teammate-to-blow-leeds-united-out-of-the-water/ That’s definitely him off to Leeds then…

If Adams doesn’t move I don’t think we can afford Piroe. Would be great to get some cash in for Tall Paul and then make the Piroe deal happen, but that’s pretty wishful thinking on my behalf.

Yes, that’s exactly what the Swansea manager confirms in the article. He literally says that. Duff insisted. "There will be a valuation of every player. If it's met, they get sold. That's the food chain. It doesn't matter where you are in the football world.

Yeah alright MLG, I never said there weren’t some shockers. Sheesh.

Please don’t do that. I’d somewhat forgotten him and I was all the happier for it. Besides, we’ve otherwise got a alright record of Norwegians. Claus, Egil, Soldvedt, Jo. We did alright out of Norge.

Imagine if there was zero transfer activity for SFC between now and the window. None in, none out. Where does that leave us? I’d say, a phenomenal squad for this level but probably losing a fuck ton of money. But the club are playing hard ball on prices so goodness knows what will happen!

He’s one that if we lost I would totally understand but if we kept then, at this level, he could be phenomenal. God knows where his head is at, let alone his actual fitness/injury level. 1 week left until that window slams shut, gonna be a roller coaster I’m sure.

A week ago there were reports of Monaco putting in a 25M euro bid for him. Would’ve thought the club might have jettisoned him for that sort of offer, but it seems to have gone very dry since.

I got the blue one 👍

I don’t need a t-shirt thanks, I’ve still got my 2014 “Stop Stamping On My Dreams” one hanging up in the wardrobe. Good luck with the sales though 👍

A bit part player but earning £120k a week with two years left on his contract. I think you’d have to believe in miracles to think he’d end up here. But, you know, never say never 🤣

If 10 million is on the cards it’s a no brainer. He’s not a starter but a useful sub. Anyway, I’m only seeing these rumours emanate from 2 or 3 days ago, so we’ll see.

Really? A little surprised with that though not massively bothered. I thought he was someone who was onboard with Martin.

What do Americans call a toilet? Then there’s a couple of the second thing.

Closest I got is Maradona but don’t know why it would be don for the second bit. Also the other clues mostly use first name surname except 6 of course which doesn’t need it.

Compared to which days? 😬

So I got a Simon Drew card recently (I love his cards) and one of the answers is doing my nut in. I’ve got 1-6 but simply cannot get 7. Here it is for full consumption.

Quite interesting, a supposed league official has come out and said that Greenwood’s brand may be too toxic for Saudi Arabia. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12436081/Where-Mason-Greenwood-go.html 🤣

🤣 Groundhog Day

What a surprise. Warner’s former leader Prigozhin has died in a plane crash. Shocked, I tell you. https://news.sky.com/story/ten-killed-in-private-jet-crash-north-of-moscow-wagner-leader-yevgeny-prigozhin-on-passenger-list-12946006
