Ho hum. You never get all the ones you want.

This is my concern also. Looks like we've improved chance creation but if the stats are anything to go by we were already doing pretty well on that metric -finishing chances and not making mistakes leading to goals are the two things we need to improve and neither of these are going to be solved by bolstering our wide positions.

Its only not random if he actually comes to us and we aren't having 4 keepers in the squad.

Think he was training with Leicester.

That likely explains it then. There isn't really a logical explanation otherwise and the chances of it seriously being considered are slim to none.

We should have offered Armstrong to someone for 7 million which someone would have bit on. I reckon we could have got a half decent striker for something like 17 million which should be achievable for a club like us. I agree we've done well with our midfield additions for good prices.

Well firstly will still has said hands off but secondly it is now too late for saints to replace him adequately. He won't be going anywhere.

Random poster on here posted about so called rumours but anyone can say anything. There's nothing concrete at all and they obviously wouldn't do that because it would be admitting abject failure. If they were going to do anything they'd do something like sell Adam Armstrong and cross their fingers that Downs comes good.

He's not.

I hope Smallbone goes as that will be the key to getting someone else in. My guess: Smallbone, Taylor, Bree and Edozie which means Aribo either staying or going to Turkey later.

Is your position that Ramsdale was responsible for as many goals conceded -certainly compared to goals saved -as Bazunu did the previous season?

Interesting how few times we discussed that last year. Despite conceding a shedload, hardly any of them were Ramsdale's fault.

I could live with just the winger I suppose. Still hoping for one extra.

I know absolutely nothing about him. What's he like? Will he be a starter on the left? Will Charlie Taylor be off ?

Sounds like an astute bloke! Entirely correct.

Cool. Jelert and the we have some free time for a couple of deadline day signings tomorrow

OK then. Where has this rumour come from? Presumably you would agree that it is incredibly unlikely?

Weren't you the one who said we were going to get three quality loan signings ?

I'd expect so. Shame.

Particularly if the suggestion was that it had nothing or very little to do with Spors as he was being brought in anyway (not sure how true that is but that was the suggestion from some on here.)

At the end of last season if you'd taken a poll I'd guess about 90% of saints fans if they were asked if Ramsdale was sold would we need a new first team keeper would have said yes. I guarantee Bazunu will cost us goals, games and points this year likely more than he will save.

Well said. I can't believe I'm going to have to have another whole season of debates after almost every game about which goals Bazunu was at fault for.

I wanted a player who could do a good job straight away. He might come good later but that will have already cost us points. Because he isn't up to it currently we have to rely on our other strikers who haven't been good enough either.

I know it won't happen. We shouldn't have bought him for that money in the first place but not much we can do now.

That would be positive if he's loaned out at least. Can get in a striker who can actually contribute now.
