Three potentially but....
Peretz
Bree Stephens Wood Manning
Downes Bragg
Matsuki Azaz Dobbin
Larin
Still looks like a pretty decent team, factoring in we'd sign CB, CM, LW replacements anyway. We can only assume that despite past incompetence, Sports Republic at least have contingency plans for selling those three.
Right? 🤪
Watford Captain, 27, Moroccan International, available for £8 million, a position we need to fill and Watford apparently looking to sell. Probably nonsense but would be a good signing, he had a good season last year.
King Power have stuck with Leicester way too long and run them into the ground, but it took the arrival of Russ Martin for them to decide they'd finally screwed the club over enough that they finally sell up. 😁
He's probably the best if not one of the best CBs in the Championship (TransferMrkt has his valuation at least as second behind only Todibo), England capped, only 24, ball playing and he has 2 years of his contract remaining. I suspect if anyone were to sign him this window it would be for a very significant sum. A quick look on TransferMrkt shows the top record sale for a CB was Nathan Ake for around £40 million to City from Bournemouth, but after that it's Ben Godfrey for around £24 million to Everton.
Probably either the sash shirt, my Matt Le Tiss Corinthians figurine (that I take to matches as a sort of good luck charm) or the promotion flag we got when we went up in League One that was given out in our last home game against Walsall. I loved that League One promotion season.
I do have 2 signed Saints footballs I bought off eBay on a whim years ago, both deflated and both currently clutter and I have long since lost the providence letters that they came with but when I eventually do the grown up thing and buy a house, I will have a little area set aside for my Saints merch. If the wife disagrees with that I may give them away in which case you lot on this site will be the first to hear about it.
He most likely wants to play in the Premier League and right now he's at one of the promotion favourites. He's only 24 and still learning the game, another season at this level will do him good. I still think he stays but if we're not in the top two conversation in January he'll likely go IMO.
But...money talks, as ever. Sports Republic would sell their Granny if someone bid enough.
