disconnect

When does #freelavia start? Any inappropriate songs of freedom (for an already very wealthy footballer) we can overlay for them?

That would make 3 right wingers and a left winger signed this pre-season, along with a centre forward. #freetella

Sulemana is significantly better than Djenepo, even though I do quite like Djenepo (but perhaps mainly for the 'did he mean to do that' moments which happen 3 times a match).

KWP has been poor (for him) for most of the last season, playing well within his ability. However, prior to that, especially 2 or 3 (?) years ago was one of the best right backs in the league. Would be surprised if there havent been a lot of enquiries.

Not the first time Princewill has scored this pre-season either. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on over the season.

Bedders is the best at ball playing?! This is a new low for professional football

Sulemana hasnt left yet nor been very strongly linked with anyone apart from vague 'interest from France' links I thought? Would be a real shame if he didnt give us another season, unless he was told he would be sold if we went down.

Definitely not suited and surprised he's still here as he obviously isnt going to work in this system, and all in all hasnt been good enough for several years. Also, he's been here 7 years and didnt know and couldn't care less when asked about the Saints badge. Considering he's one of our longest serving players, you'd think the least he can do would know what badge he's putting on every week.

Move to who? Are Burnley willing to spend more than £2.50p on a player that had a very big part in getting them promoted?

I was thinking this! "Now that I've finally achieved my goal of getting Southampton relegated, I can retire in peace" (or pieces)!

Personally thought McCarthy was no better than Bazunu when he came in, and if we're playing the ball out from the back with McCarthy in goal, we're going to concede a lot of comedy goals this season...!

Gutted that Edozie is not on the tour, but hopefully just an injury? He's a major talent and thought he was badly managed at the back end of last year. Wouldn't be surprised to see Small leave for a nominal fee.

Well at least Monaco (hopefully) have some money. Whenever our players are linked to Turkey (like 50% of our squad this window) it feels like we're going to either let them go with a heavily subsidised loan, or are expected to just give them to them out of the kindness of our hearts!

Haven’t checked the end of this thread (to see he scored a hattrick) but remember his finishing was woeful

Apart from we're paying £10-15 mill for these youngsters not £250k or free transfers... In response to line above!

I was going to say, if Salisu is worse on the ball than Bedders, I'm surprised anyone above the National League would want him 🤣

I thought it was just called keeping hold of the ball?! Was Big Vic therefore our best ‘press resistant’ player?! No one could get the ball off him

To be fair, he did run rings around people and then play it to others who did their very best to hit anything but the back of the net 🤣

Worth his own thread now I reckon. Seemed very keen in that interview, hope he develops well!

Burnley have signed James Trafford, England Under 21 keeper for £15 million from City. Spent last season on loan in League One... More expensive than Bazunu but is he any better?

He wasnt very friendly with Edozie, Sulemana, Mara, Djenepo etc - i.e. any flair attacking player effectively being frozen out. Sulemana should've started every game, not sure why the others were barely seen

I think he’s pretty good and would suit a better ‘footballing’ team. I’d be much more disappointed if he left than Armstrong or Onuachu. Reckon he’ll develop into a better player than Adams but obviously there’s a bit to be seen yet

He's better than McCarthy, and dropping him near the end of last season for someone no better (who seemed to concede more soft goals?) felt pretty harsh. Wouldnt be adverse to signing a new number 1 for a season or two so long as Bazunu still got games and it meant McCarthy leaving!

We replaced him a few times, like we did with Stephens and Bednarek, but sadly they're all still here! Admitedly, Stephens and Janny B could be good in the Championship, but I'd rather McCarthy gone, and Janny's ego (and OG)...!

Asked my Chelsea supporting mate about Abu / Cho$en and he'd never heard of him. Conversely, when asked a couple of years ago about Livramento, he raved about him and said he would be brilliant for us...
