Will need to raise more than that if they wanted a PL side though

It wasn’t taken out to buy players, it was to ease cash flow during the Covid period

Most of that is the loan money though

Romero is wasted as 3rd keeper, can’t believe nobody picked him up

City could get any forward they want (pretty much) I doubt they will be looking at a 28yr old too seriously- probably an option yes but they will just go and get the best they can from Europe. Jesus isn’t good enough to be their main forward so it’s not as though they need a back up

Wonder why he hasn’t been given any game time with the B team though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Costa is a free agent 😂

It’s only 11am and already we are getting: AMN, King, Gilmour and Lookman with only Long leaving!

Bournemouth keen on the deal but apparently King happy to see out the remainder of his contract and see what options the summer brings when he’s a free agent.

I thought you could only have 1 domestic PL loan at once. Or is it two?

Maybe it’s deemed he would benefit more from playing L1 than B team games - have the B team games been affected by Covid or are they playing a full fixture list still?

Interesting that Ralph made comments about Diallo could also play as a number ten or full back. I wonder if he’ll try either of those one Romeu is back?

My take on it is: he is happy at saints and would sign a new deal, however wants to know if a champions league team showed and interest, and the release fee is that way. He isn’t saying he wants to leave now for champions league but if there was interest in the future he would least like to have the option

Why would he want a release fee in the new contract when he could leave currently for lower than that release fee would be. He could just run down the contract and make much more than signing one with a release fee in.

So why can sending off suspension be claimed against cup games but 5 bookings can’t?!

Good summary in this thread from Kieran Maguire

Hopefully when fit he’ll start playing some B team games even if it’s just to get some games under his belt.

He is 19. If the club feel his is better or potential to be better than Obafemi, Tella or Nlundulu then surely he is worth getting. I can see Obafemi being allowed to leave in the summer

Just curious as to how the original decision was made when all we have is the tv footage to use.

Hard to judge that from the tv coverage. He seemed to spend most of the game in the technical area whenever the camera showed it so assume he was being active rather than just standing there watching the game

What makes you say that? Not sure what he did wrong and would have just been implementing instructions

Long time linked with us but is off to Italy now.

Do they exist? Not sure I can name any in the premier league that play left and right back

Great keeper but would have to take a massive salary cut. On over £100k pw
