They can rustle up a bit of cash at the mo it seems. I vaguely recall him saying he'd like to return 1 day as he left when they were in freefall. I could see it happening.

That would be far too good to be true. We're normally rubbish at shifting players we don't want.

Cardiff sign Alex Smithies.

Stoke and Middlesbrough battle for Newcastle's £15m-rated wing Matt Ritchie: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/06/28/stoke-middlesbrough-battle-newcastles-15m-rated-wing-matt-richie/

Bobby Reid signs for Cardiff.

Am I right in thinking that he's likely to be announced as one of our new scholars?

That's what I was thinking. Good analysis!

I wonder what's going to happen to Bertie? I assumed he'd def be off this summer. Are City still looking for a left back?

Centre-back for sure. Speedster winger if I'm being greedy. Curious if we'll give Valery / Reed a run as right-back cover?

While I'm thinking of Tadic assists.... His 3 vs City in the 4-2 win @ St Mary's were fantastic.

Knowing Saints it'll be to sell McCarthy & give Forster another new contract

Yeah. There's probably a fair few that will leave at least on loan: - Boufal - Forster - Clasie - Carillo (?) - Hesketh - Reed - Gallagher - Seager - Barnes

Brilliant

I always thought of Dusan as a really good supplemental forward. His assists really helped Mane & Pelle excel here & I thought he'd struggle when they left when he had to take up the mantle himself. I was largely correct, but my favourite memory of him will be ultimately proving me wrong by firing us on in those last few games & saving us.

Yeah. The squad is pretty heavy in places. It's not like the fee would even have to be huge for Jordy either, really.

As I said the other day after K,Billy posted about him, he's very highly rated. £15m is such a random move for somebody after Macca just signed a new bumper contract. (I know competition for places is great, but would just seem like an odd move).

David Brooks having a medical at Bournemouth tomorrow. Good signing for them.

Anyone else think any prospective move is off now?

Risky move at £30m+
