Their Christian belt buckle...

Yes I get that. I'm just frustrated I think by the lack of any movement in or out. If we lose our best players right at the last minute it's going to be pretty shit, particularly if we replace them with solid but unspectacular stuff like this.

Have they made much more than we have? I'm not sure they have. Delap they got much less for and I think they had to pay a sizable chunk of Hutchinson. Fair enough broadhead for 8.7 million but if we do lose Edozie and Aribo soonish we will probably be comparable.

Meanwhile Ipswich linked with 17-20 million pound wonder kid and Norwegian international.

I almost went into a coma when we exercised the counter-option to buy... at the time I told myself that it was perhaps because they had contacts to sell it more expensively elsewhere, I didn't see any other possible explanation... Guilavogui's possible departure represents for me the perfect opportunity to turn the page on a certain type of player: those who have no technique. Missed controls, shots off target 9 times out of 10, repeated injuries... No but it would make me laugh Guilavogui in Southampton, it's hilarious. They thought they had Spertsyan and ended up with Guilavogui. not exactly filling me with confidence

Hmm. All the Lens fans think he's shit. Not always an indicator but not the best sign.

I mean potential to do well in a new league. Always difficult to know how someone will adapt.

At least we have a bloody rumour to talk about. Seems like another solid signing with potential rather than a statement signing but it doesn't matter much if he does a job and we need a winger with his profile.

Real-World Strengths WhoScored labels him as: A strong finisher and competent in aerial duels, indicating he’s reliable in front of goal as well as in winning headers. FotMob offers comparative metrics versus fellow attackers/wingers in Ligue 1: Touches: 26th percentile — suggesting he's more of a direct impact player than a ball-dominant creator. Shot attempts: 51st percentile — a solid mid-range output. Goals: 65th percentile — above average scoring threat. Chances created: 38th percentile — room for improvement in creative output. Aerial duels won: 99th percentile — elite aerial presence. Defensive contributions: 94th percentile — excellent defensive effort for a forward.

It's just a load of bollocks. Transfers don't go on like this, particularly for championship clubs.

Still said he wanted to sign some players with championship experience obviously he means in addition to what we have already.

Someone started a 'hair like a wotsit' chant and the camera caught him smirking. He's anti-ginger, we've got no chance.

Will said he specifically wanted some new players with championship experience though. If not him then where are we getting that from? Fellows?

What channel?

Which two?

What a surprise. This bloke was always a bullshitter. Look elsewhere.

Ethical you melt. You're a toffee.

Prior to the game on solent.

Something being easier doesn't make it easy. We still have to get rid of players which is obviously a lot harder.

Highlights how well he has done under the circumstances.

It might be the proper quality signings like Fernandes, Livramento, Lavia etc. Besides, quality in the championship is much easier to achieve.

How do you know they aren't actively working to get rid of players and bring some in? It's not football manager.

With all the squad uncertainty you have to say that's a good point. Aim of the exercise before the window closing is to stay in contention and we've done that so far which is good news. Yes there were problems but the squad is going to be totally different in a couple of weeks and it's going to be difficult to judge.

He obviously has some decent club contacts. It wouldn't be a big surprise if both go would it.

Blackmore seems to think so. I've got no idea.
