Back up GK still worries me unless Ramsdale stays. What would be worse is not signing a keeper and then Ramsdale leaves for one of the countries with late closing windows leaving us with Peretz, Long and, well, Moody I guess. 2 strikers is also not strong enough although Dobbie can play there if needed but I'd want another striker. If Edozie goes we're short wide too. Our first team is really decent but the squad would be a bit fragile.

Sign someone you bunch of bastards. 😝

No chance this late in the window with nobody lined up. Would be promotion suicide and the club will know that. Besides he's injured.

For me today, the glaring omission in our squad if we sell or loan out those expected to go, is back up goalkeeper. We can cope with the rest of the positions but the blindness to having Long as back up could cost us. If, and I stress if, we can't shift Ramsdale then I sincerely hope we can re-integrate him. Abbott seems like a decent signing especially as we'd have the option. Basically our player and he's highly rated. That's 4 CBs. CM fine, we all want a destroyer but if Jander (who despite interest looks like he's staying) and Downes are our number ones then JWP and Bragg should do as back up. I think we need another winger and a striker if we ship everyone that is supposed to go, but we should be able to cope with what we have especially if Akachukwu is now considered to be a viable option. But... back up keeper. For me that's the reason why I'd be cacking myself anytime an opposition striker goes in hard on Peretz.

Fernandes, Dibling...Livramento was close. But anyway I was being facetious, just that of all our centre backs, Abbott would be the only one we'd likely get any resale value out of... and we don't even own him. Schlotterbeck is 29, Jack is worth Jack and hypothetically even after a good season as our first choice CB i doubt anyone would pay more than £10 million for Wood.

Zach Abbott, we hope. Successful season, signs permanently, successful Prem campaign, sell for £40 million. It is the SR way.

25 and a half hours left until the window slams shut. Lots to be done, no less a GK unless we genuinely can't shift Ramsdale (which, as a fan, I'd be more than happy with).

I was trying to disprove this but it is, in fact, accurate. That's some doing. Depends on the option fee for Abbott (as to what we believe he's worth, or Forest believe he's worth) but yep, Kayi Sanda on £4 million beats Schlotterbeck and Wood.

Be funny if we saw Abbott as the Roerslev replacement and still sign another CB. 😝 Also, I know we signed Dobbie but if Edozie goes I'd want another winger. Greedy? Shit yes.

Have you been in a coma for the last week? 😉

Nathan Wood started an FA Cup semi final against City. 😜

I am surprised we didn't go higher for a player we are seemingly interested in but if the club don't feel there is value there then we'll have to hope they know what they're doing. I'm no SR fan, I think they have made stupid decisions their whole tenure but they do run the club financially pretty well, and in Spors we seem to have a decent DOF with an eye for a decent player. I can see fans being annoyed that Abbott will be out CB choice which means one of Wood or Stephens will continue to be part of our CB pairing but we also have the transfer window in January to come with perhaps some money in our pocket for a change. Thirdly though, the window isn't shut yet and anything could happen tomorrow.

Alfie House says we'll have an option to buy. This may be a smart bit of business. In true Saintsweb fashion i have changed my opinion on this to SR Genius.

If his name was Zacharino Abbotino from Italy we'd be happier with this. 😜 I hope we have an option in case he's actually really good. He seems highly rated, has the right attributes. Who knows, if he's even half decent he'll already be better than Jack has been this season.

Is he LAMINE's crapper twin brother? Because that's our style.
