Doesn’t seem there was any real chance of Welbeck according to this article: https://amp.independent.ie/sport/soccer/unai-emery-does-not-want-danny-welbeck-to-leave-arsenal-37203835.html?__twitter_impression=true

We Go Together (from Grease)... someone creative (or not!) can come up with something I'm sure... We go together Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong etc etc We'll always be together Wha oooh, yeah! We'll always be together We'll always be together We'll always be together

Part of the reason that he’s hardly played - injuries aside - is the likes of Salah, Firmino, Coutinho and Mane.

Palace have only just confirmed Ayew in the last few minutes.

Simon Peach claiming that SFC had been saying all afternoon that they weren’t done. He seemingly never let on that that was the case. Or anyone else for that matter ie Jeremy Wilson or Blackmore.

LB?

Montoya? He's in advanced talks with Fulham according to SSN.

That's really not the point. MLG fukked up with omitting Boufal from his 'maths' and is now trying to squirm out of it by ranking their 'creative' ability. If he didn't spend most of his time correcting others for misdemeanours and minor transgressions then he would be cut some slack. We've lost two 'creative' players, we've gained two 'creative' players. End of.

Boufal + Tadic = 2

Nothing we didn't know from SSN 09:47 SAINTS SIGNINGS? Jane Dougall has the latest from Southampton... "It looks like there's going to be more departures rather than arrivals. Fulham were very impressed by Matt Targett during his loan at Craven Cottage, but I'm told Southampton want to keep hold of him. “Watford have made an offer for James Ward-Prowse, but we understand that a loan deal would not interest Southampton. "If there are to be any players in, it is probable that they will look to strengthen their strike force. A player who has been linked in the past couple of days is Danny Welbeck, who may want to leave Arsenal because he faces a battle for a first-team place, but Welbeck's wages could may well be a major issue. "Liverpool's Danny Ings has again been linked with the club, but I'm told Southampton are not in for him."

There’s an easy way round that. Give them the nice fluffy question then when you get to ask it live just hit them with the real question!

Sky saying Bryan due at Fulham today for his medical which would suggest the end of the Targett move.

Were you not excited at the prospect of the exciting football that Les told us Pellegrini would bring?

Might be the catalyst for a striker move

Mo's been getting a lot of shouts too despite only a couple of half games and a 30 min run out. I'm guessing folks have seen more of him than I have to make a call on that or it's a sign of what options we have available from the squad. Hopefully he's the man.

MLG pointed out that with several meeting the U23 criteria we have something like 3+ spaces in the 25 man squad and 'being a waste of money' wouldn't be Hughes' concern so neither of those points are relevant.

Mark Hughes - according to The DE: Mark Hughes has admitted that Saints will probably need to move players on before they could consider signing anybody else, and that means plenty of work still to do.

Every club in a similar position would have been doing exactly the same.

Yes, I thought it was done and dusted. Maybe The Mirror article was out of date.

I see the Mirror (yes, I know) is reporting this is back on with Malcuit snubbing Napoli for SFC.

Stoke are trying to get promoted.

What are you on about? No ones talking about ‘developing’ him. He’s 23 not 17. The question is would he improve the 1st team where we are desperately short of quality at CB and options at RB and the answer is an unequivocal yes.

I wish you hadn’t done that. It’s quite depressing.

A very good signing for Fulham. Arguably better than all of our CB's. Could have provided RB cover also.
