hypochondriac

I didn't mention Armstrong.

Indeed! That's how it works isn't it! That's why MLG brings out BBD and Archer's championship record from years ago.

No I wouldn't but I doubt he will play every game.

I see that point but I also see the point Jo Tessem has been making for a couple of weeks now.

Not sure we can say that with confidence at the moment. Maybe they will prove to be but it's by no means close to certain at present.

Only issue with that is if it doesn't work it will be too late to do anything about it. I still have a feeling we may see one more after these signings depending on outgoings.

Bazunu Mads THB Stephens Manning Jander Charles Fellows Azaz Scienza Stewart Would have the added bonus of only containing 4 players potentially affected by last season.

Not a chance would we sign Spertsyan and Azaz. That would make zero sense.

From who? I must have missed that.

Come on Saints. Just sell Archer, loan out BBD and get Sargent in on deadline day. You know it makes sense.

He's the main sports guy at the echo and right pretty much all the time.

Just saying I'll be happy if/when they get over the line! Would be very like saints for West ham to want the other Boro player and then them not being so keen to sell.

Hate being all doom and gloom but none of these signings have actually been confirmed yet.

Surely we aren't signing all these wingers. Fellows and one other you'd hope. Otherwise just sign us a striker.

No idea who this guy is but aren't the main attributes we need from wide the ability to cross, beat a man and some pace?

Yes I think that's fair. The Spertsyan rubbish is possibly why things have dragged on as they have .

Great post and exactly right. The primary issue is that we haven't got some of these players in earlier. I accept we can't do all deals until near the end but we should have got some in to make the start easier.

If it allows us to bring in another striker who might perform better in our system then I'd at least consider it. Without that though I wouldn't bother.

As much as I'd love us to sign Sargent ,has there been a single link to him coming to saints at any point during this window?

I wonder why West brom would accept what is a pretty small fee. Whatiqabted to see though is using our financial muscle to bully some of the less fortunate clubs in our division so that suits me .

I actually got a private message from someone telling me about Fellows before the news broke so it calmed me down a bit!

Feel like I let the frustration get the better of me a bit this morning. Lots of ifs and buts but if we get fellows and Azaz over the line and this dm in then I think we are in a pretty good position with players overall that fit the system we want to play well. If we got a striker in too I'd be quite excited but lots still to happen to get there.

Fellows would be an actual impressive get for a club in our position. If it happens I'll certainly applaud the club .

Give it up. The Spertsyan ship sailed ages ago. If we get fellows ill be a lot happier (albeit I have doubt about our strikers.)

Still hoping they Spring a surprise with a top winger and crossing fingers for a striker even if that chance is remote.
