yes it does

Still think we might go for Phil Jones. Ticks the CB/CDM box.

Personally on a short term deal for a year he'd be worth looking at for the reasons you mention.

If you've got a defender who is good on the ball but cant defend it also ends pretty badly. See Stephens for example.

not being able to ping 50 yard cross field balls didn't seem to harm Terry or Vidic. Look at our lot, we rarely talk about their defensive ability, it's always all about how far they can pass it or how good they are on the ball. Defend first anything else is a bonus. In any case any professional football should be able to make a 20 yard forward pass under no pressure when the whole game is being played in front of them.

Having a defender who can actually defend would be nice, but it isn't very fashionable at the moment.

He really does think he is some sort of spokesman for the internet. His pious, self righteous preaching and lecturing across multiple forums really is dull. Especially as this "speaking out" is to basically accuse anyone who doesn't agree with him as being racist.

Bertrand had played for England as well as in and won a champions league final when we got him!

People seem to think of they can shoe horn discriminatory into their complaint somehow it’ll scare companies into changing their minds.

Leicester made £63m on Macguire 😃

I don’t know much about him but we ain’t signing a squad player at Liverpool for £15m for him to be 3rd or 4th choice here. He’ll be coming here to be first choice presumably with Salisu. seems like Liverpool fans aren’t too happy he’s going. Read they’d rather keep Him and sell Matip seems like he’s good in the air, a talker and leader we need and a proper warrior centre half which is what we need. obviously not made that many appearances so far in his career but at 24 a good age. On paper at least given we’re not going to get anyone experienced looks like a good signing

If his name was Nathaniali Phillipe people would have a different view

Small town in West Ham? How embarrassing

Looks like aintclever is confused again 🙄

He he has a point

Like who? If you're referring to Brandon Williams than a loan fee of c£1.7m that was muted isnt unreasonable.

When was the last time we did that? Probably only Walker-Peters in the last couple of years has come in and immediately been an improvement.

It's a very strange mindset that by loaning a player to help us short term we are developing a player for another club, especially a top 4 club.

Ethan Ampadu on loan? Can play CD and CDM. Surprised no one has mentioned this, he was good for Sheffield United.

Im not sure i'd describe Salisu as a beast. He's quick and looks strong but he got absolutely bullied by Calvert-Lewin last season so a physical striker could cause him problems. I think Daillo will become a good player for us. The problem i see though is that he's better alongside Romeu rather than instead of, and we all know Ward-Prowse is the golden boy. Not sure about experience in midfield Romeu is 29, has been here 6 years and made nearly 300 apperances, JWP is also close to 300 career appearances. It's at the back we need experience.

They spend £15m on a squad player who is first choice at another premier league club. We spend £15m and we think it's a big money deal that we have to get right to improve our team.

What sort of a name is Keir FFS?

No. You never have a Saints player in your fantasy team. You must always have an opposition player though so when we lose you can piss everyone off by announcing at full time that "at least I've got xxxxx in my fantasy team" Which always helps soften the blow to everyone around you. 🤯

No idea why you think that. Best players sold off, Lots of transfer rumours about him, injured all preseason then makes a miraculous recovery to be fit for the first game of the season. No similarities whatsoever.

We could do a lot worse. He’s still without a club so might be able to get him with on a year deal with an option to extended. Good experienced leader we need. The club is too obsessed with resale value tomorrow will be, sometimes you need a bit of experience for today to get through. Now is one of those times.
