hypochondriac

Have you ever considered that the fact that laughing emojis under your posts specifically bother you so much to the extent that you mention it every few days is one of the reasons that laughing emojis are posted under your post? That and the insufferable smugness and pomposity.

Absolutely no idea who you are.

I'm sure the blasé responses of some randoms on the saintsweb will really make a difference to US democracy.

MAGA strength.

Fair enough if he wants to go to wolves but why would he turn down the premier league?

Come on though, getting clipped in the ear and avoiding death my millimetres and then frame yourself perfectly raising your fist and shouting fight is absolutely bad ass. I don't care who you are.

Whelk isn't a lefty loon you simpleton. Anyone can make jokes on a football forum, that's what it's for.

Surely would be a loan?

Shooter has probably had the very opposite effect they would have intended and has most likely handed the election to Trump.

Looks like he survived it. Awful that these things happen in America.

I just want a reasonably good goalkeeper. It's not much to ask.

Ipswich sign Muric. Just seen that.

I also think there are some caveats. Bazunu is young and may develop into a solid keeper. No point pretending he's been anything other than absolute rubbish this far though. We got promoted largely in spite of him last year and the season before would rival the worst season of any top flight keeper we've ever had.

Was just pointing out that forecast didn't count. I wouldn't put Bazunu above Kelvin or McCarthy though and probably not Stekelenburg either and it's a toss up with Bart. Blayney fair enough but he barely played. There's very very few if any keepers who played a reasonable amount of games for us who I think has performed substantially worse than Bazunu. Certainly in the top flight, he was statistically and in reality absolutely rotten.

What evidence do you have that Taylor, THB or sugawara are championship or lower at best? Edwards perhaps but by all accounts was excellent value and may prove himself to be prem standard. Lallana genuinely no idea how he was perform but I doubt he will play that often.

Didn't actually play for us though.

Do you have any evidence at all that not getting Downes yet is anything to do with saints?

Will be quite interesting to see how he gets on this year. I'll predict 7 league goals. Maybe he will surprise me.

Encouraging words from Martin about Downes. I don't think he'd be saying about wanting him with us if he didn't want to sign.

Loving all the jap players. I reckon there's some untapped potential there.

Yes we may lose some of them but I'd be confident we'd at least be attempting to replace them with players of a similar quality. Not so in the champ!

Yep and think how much shitter the window would be right now had we lost to Leeds. No THB, kwp, Downes, Bednarek, Adams etc etc. Yeah we might get relegated this year but at least it should hopefully be a fun ride. As long as we are competitive for the season that's what's important and we may do better than expected. I'm hoping so at any rate.

Overall, player costs do definitely have a correlation with success. That's why the teams who spend the most generally are the most successful. We probably have the funds to make two standout signings which involve spending a bit of money. One of these imo has to be a striker and we need quality. It seems incredibly unlikely to me that we will be able to find a quality striker without spending a decent amount of cash. I think we will anyway I'm just struck by how little we are spending.

Would he be top ten signing in terms of amount for a championship side? For that dough you'd be expecting absolute top quality. I'm pleased with our signings so far but I will be expecting Downes or equivalent, a top quality striker, a decent AM and a good winger as a minimum really and I'd be expecting us to be shopping in a higher bracket for at least a couple of those.

Is it a little unusual that the fees we have been rumoured to pay thus far are a fair bit less than we paid last year for Shea Charles? That was an incredibly odd signing. Not that I particularly want us to spend a load of cash but I do think to improve our chances of getting a decent signing we should be looking to spend about 20 million plus on a striker and 15-20 on an AM. Not sure if we are able to spend that but that's what I'd be looking at to improve the team (maybe that will change if we get a decent free transfer in.)
