SuperSAINT

Right down the spine.

If Ben White is £50m — Surely only £60m is worth thinking about. Hard to tell if there was any truth in the Yangel rumours, but this would be the only thing that makes sense.

Possible Grealish cash to burn too.

He hasn't signed it

That’s too vague. How do you know he would be multiple champion?

Announced his retirement today. Fantastic career he’s had.

Will Ferry.

It wouldn’t be saints without us going into the the season woefully short in at least 1 position.

When I first saw it I thought it was Matt Crocker. I’m not 100% on that, though.

Very true. Villa are minted though. Spent nearly £90m last season without selling.

Spot on about Villa & Leeds. It seems such a sensible idea to me that (if the budget stretches) signing young players for 500k-£1m. When you consider the numbers we poured into somebody like Wesley Hoedt. The Athletic had a good piece on Leeds from around a year ago - Their plan after they got promoted was to completely re-vamp their U23's. They even have a "Head of Emerging talent". I know it's only just happened, but the Simeu & the Abdul trial represent a potential move forward to how we could possibly approach things post-brexit : Slightly older players from big-clubs with a blocked pathway and/or lower-league players who have been missed but have peaked slightly older.

Doh. This stuff happens anyway, but Brexit has ramped this stuff up to the max. Was a good article in the Athletic about City’s academy, if you haven’t seen it, @Dusic.

Depends if they were any good or not

Is it belated Wan-Bissaka money? Or has Parrish got shares in Pfizer?

Spurs possibly out of Ings race?
