Yeah, same 2 trialists.

A “saintsy” type signing.

Good move for him! He's starting for them tonight. Interesting to see who plays at left-back for the B-Team now -- Unless anyone is switching positions (or we have trialists there) it leaves us with Carson / J-Rod v2.0 or Joshua Lett as left-backs.

Just reading that Leicester value Maddison at £70m…

These two plus Bailey will cost a fair chunk. Unless they offer £5m for Abraham.

Imagine any serious bid would be their 4th or 5th considering their starting bid.

Salisbury vs Saints B tonight. 7.45pm KO #TrialistWatch

Somewhat linked to Williams, but Utd apparently want a £5m loan fee for Tuanzebe.

Nixon is very good in that region (as Turkish & Erwin said) and WAY back he was repeatedly saying we wanted Ings when nobody else was.

Very interesting. Certainly no shortage of options. Thrown a list of various players (mentioned above, linked with us & linked to others places*) ----------------- - Brandon Williams - Neco Williams - Nat Phillips - Japhet Tanganga - Joe Rodon - Ethan Ampadu - Axel Tuanzebe ----------------- - Ruben Loftus-Cheek - Trevoh Chalobah - Yangel Herrera - Oliver Skipp - Ainsley Maitland-Niles ----------------- - Reiss Nelson - Takumi Minamino - Dan James - Eddie Nketiah - Divock Origi ----------------- * Various MLG notes applied inclusive of age / wages / prices etc.

To end the stories once & for all (until he's out of contract in the summer!)

Palace proving they’ve just been reading this forum for targets:

Love a bit transfer speculation by-way-of shirt number speculation . I'm not 100% sure I see us still wanting Williams considering the cost & the fact we've probably just reduced his prospective playing time by 50%. Doig would make sense [at around £4m and fits our profile] but I've seen nothing too concrete on our interest.

Yeah. I like what he's done. Really good player if he can stay fit. Hopefully he'll progress up through the levels soon.

He explains it here:

Really pleased with this signing. Exactly the sort of signing I think we should be making. Last month, Simon Johnson at the Athletic did a story on the young players wanting out at Chelsea & for us to sign 2 out of the 4 of them is fantastic. Chelsea's academy is top notch and you don't win player of the year there unless you have talent. Lets see what the rest of the window brings...

Me too! Although Angus Gunn had one, too. Yangel would cost a fair amount up top.

We could only get him if we sell, surely? I read Jose wants him at Roma now.

Brighton linked again with former Saints target Darwin Nunez.
