Sounds like we will bring in another striker but Stewart has played 8 games in a row without injury and we have a full pre season to come, it’s hoped he can play a part but I think he will be 2nd choice for that main striker role.

I’d agree he’s most likely to stay, £20m is a high fee given how he performed last season. He’s a top CB in the champ though, could make it 3 promotions in 3 consecutive seasons if we go back up. Fernandes is the superstar and that’s why he won’t stay, sadly.

Getting circa £25m in combined for Sulemana and Onuachu, it’s a loss on fees, profit on PSR and hopefully with SAA (£8.5m) and the academy player (£1m) off to United, that money helps reduce pressure to sell some of the players we would like to keep. I’m not sure we will lose all of THB, Dibling and Fernandes, perhaps 1 stays? Assuming we sell Ramsdale for £20m, that’s £54.5m without selling the two prize jewels.

Pretty sure we went for Sulemana over Semenyo, we were linked to both heavily that window. Although Bournemouth were reportedly ahead of us for Jackson so maybe we were outbid on wages? Either way, we backed the wrong horse!

Works both ways when referring to a small sample size. I do agree that his strengths are better suited to a Still style over Martin but I’m not convinced he would choose the right final action. For the fee paid, he was raw, not always fit and available and his output wasn’t good enough. Edozies output is slightly better: 63 games - 6G 3A. and he was €8m not €25m.

24/25: 26 apps - 1G 1A 23/24: 25 apps - 0G 3A (Championship!) All games for Saints: 74 apps - 4G 7A For a £22m record signing, I wouldn’t say that is enough end product. Perhaps you can educate me what it means? Of his 4 goals, 2 of them were in that dead rubber end of season game vs Liverpool. In that United game he missed some good chances and picked the wrong pass, despite destroying Yoro.

Sulemana is only 23 and we have seen glimpses such as the game at Old Trafford, but even then the end product wasn’t quite there. Given his performances over the 2.5 seasons this is a very good deal with a sell on clause to protect us if he does become the player we hoped he would here. Onuachu looks tired after 20 mins, he’s not going to be pressing from the front like Still will want and was never good enough for the fee we paid. Take the £10m hit and move on. His main highlight was a couple of stepovers and a no look pass in his own third vs Liverpool, I think that says enough.

No thank you.

That would be a blow for them, he’s top at this level.

€4m add ons + team bonuses. Does that mean there is more add ons specific to how Atalanta do or is it just poorly worded?

His stock has certainly dropped over the last couple of years, I’m not too sure how good a signing he is these days. I’m sure he will do well at Rangers though, but perhaps we are looking for a different profile under Still.

Carl Martin also still on the coaching staff. Wonder if we might replace Parker with Still’s video analyst brother?

Is this our main striker target?

Still looks like 2 different shades of red but I do agree.

White numbers surely isn’t a thing?

Can you share a link to the webpage?

Solak has given interviews to Echo and BBC Solent this week, where he advised he has no interest in selling the club. It looks like he would welcome a partner investor should we return to the PL. Saudi interest was real but not entertained by Solak, if we believe what he says.

Wonder if we have to wait until July to release the kits due to the sponsor change?

Looks like it might have been!

So Midnite rather than Draper Tools on the back of the shirt.

MLG mode on - Boro finished 10th - MLG mode off.
