I guess we will need to utilise Smallbone in the squad as backup if he's not sold. We will need a body if one of the three options we have gets injured or suspended.

Wellington supposed to be out for two months which isn't forever. Could be back before November.

Not at gk or attack we won't...

No I'm saying I'm not sure Still is a giant fan of Manning given his defensive deficiencies as evidenced by the fact he dropped him last time he scored and clearly preferred Wellington. I'm not saying Manning should be dropped, I'm saying it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he was.

Could be a fairly underwhelming end to the window unless we have a rabbit to pull.

He dropped Manning after the last time he scored. Pretty sure his quote about scoring largely referred to strikers.

Kevin trapp is a handsome fellow. I suggest he starts with him.

Didn't someone suggest ellert was a wing back? I'm not sure we should be playing him as one if we don't have to.

We can now actually field an entire team with almost no involvement with last year Bazunu Mads Quarshie Edwards ellert New bloke Charles Fellows Azaz Robinson Downs

You do wonder why they'd bother making an offer if they haven't been given positive signals.

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.
