Smoke and mirrors. Smacks of Villa playing the "We're moving on from THB" card in the media when they want to unsettle him some more to get their deal. I hope we hold out for the right money, even though I do think he'll go this window. Been said, but the club don't want Ramsdale on big wages (sadly as him and Peretz would be a Premier League quality set of keepers) and Baz is, well, Baz. Shite. George Long HAS to be 3rd choice. We need better for a second keeper. Youngish. Whichever keeper we bring in had to be better than Long, I don't care how old he is. Imagine Peretz out for the season and Long becomes our first choice. Goodbye promotion. Long is the veteran. We need better. I like Matsuki, I don't like Fellows particularly, both are ok for the Championship but I think they can be improved upon. Mind you I also think that of both our FB positions. And CB. But that's just me being greedy. See above, IMO they'll be back. Of the two clubs that want him (so far), Villa have money. If we hold our urine until deadline day or close to it, they'll cave BUT we do need to bring in a replacement almost before he goes. That's why I think we'll sell in the next few days for slightly less, to give us a chance to get in a decent replacement. However this is SR we're talking about and they have never done things the sensible way. Yep but that'll do. Nobody seems to want him on a permanent, loan fee and wages off the bill will do. Agree. We just need time for the replacement. Apologies for lots of quotes. On holiday and the 19 Crimes red wine is flowing.

Preston wanted a Cannon and got an Archer. I'm not sure that's how attacking fire power works...

With O'Brien Whitmarsh gone and THB on his way out, we're rapidly running out of players with double barrelled names. Only Nathan Wood remains in the senior squad, with Dobson-Ventura and Rohart-Brown in the youth. Kayi Sanda and Sillah Dibaga don't count on account of no hyphen. Bring JWP home then. 😝

And a back up GK and possibly another winger. Then replace Jander and Scienza if they end up going. Tons of work to be done. 10 days to go.

The other thing with Spurs is they've spent all that money on fees and wages and then decided Kinsky is good enough to be their number 1. GK blindness, something Saints have been guilty of at times over the last few years.

Brentford had a brilliant pre-season and everyone has been wanking over Spurs. Lovely.

Didn't take Russ long to implement his style and didn't take Leicester fans long to work it out.

Just when they think they've hit rock bottom... No wonder King Power want out. £200 million you're having a laugh.

Ake went for 40 ish. The next highest is Godfrey for (from memory, i posted it last week) 23 so 25 million or similar would put him at the second highest for Championship CB. Under what he's perhaps worth to us but as in my last post, it's possible we want the money quickly to give us room to move quickly in the window. It might be the players we want are available now and we need the fee to move for them. Strengthen now and we may have more luck holding on to Casper, Leo, Azaz etc.

It might be SR think that getting £20 million up front gives us more time in the window to bring in recent replacements. Drag it on for another week or so and we'd only have a matter of days to sign players.

Good confidence booster for Divin. Keep that up, keep Archer or improve and we at least look decent up front. Sort the rest out and we will be fine for play-offs.

A week until the next League fixture, the cup doesn't matter. Signings needed in that time please.

I had Manning from a FK but I'll take it

Ooh defo snatch and grab then.

Now need the defence to keep Stoke out...
