Saint Matty 76

Valery - Bednarek - Danso - Bertrand Romeu - Hojbjerg Has to be.

Gunn Valery - Bednarek - Danso - Bertrand Hojbjerg - Romeu JWP - Boufal/Djenepo Adams - Redmond Would like to see this at some point. I know Stephens hasn't been dreadful today but I still don't want him near the side, neither Vestergaard. Ings pointless.

Hoping Ings gets binned from the starting XI sooner rather than later. Would much prefer to have Boufal (or Djenepo if he's any good) with Redmond and Che.

Very happy with the sound of him, Bundesliga fans I know don't think he'll be cheap. Really hope we can get this across the line and we've just fallen a DM short of a brilliant window. This makes it a good one.

The tweet says "concrete bid" so I'm kind of hoping it's a permanent offer.

We need to be all over this. Ridiculous if not.

Redmond/Hojbjerg new contract?

Would like to think that with Austin heading out permanently and the club surely being optimistic about loaning out Lemina/Carrillo (and potentially Elyounoussi) as well later on, we surely have the capability to bring in at least one today.

Likewise, a CB and a DM (Wanyama would be great...) inbound and at least 3/4 of Austin/Hoedt/Carrillo/Stephens/Forster/McCarthy/Lemina/Elyounoussi out. I imagine we'll see Lemina leave tomorrow and nobody come in, with loan deals for Carrillo/Elyounoussi coming later in the month.

Looking forward to Simon Peach' tweet on Thursday morning saying we're not expecting to be active on deadline day.

Worst pen I've ever seen, what a ****.

We really need a good CB and DM. Wouldn't be confident at all with that line-up next week.

Lemina to Wolves, loan with an obligation to buy. Good news if true. One down and 2/3 to go.

If only SSN was a decent source we'd be in luck with these departures.

Norwich are some way lower than ours but other than them, Burnley and Watford I think we are the next lowest!

Shame we have two really good keepers rather than two competent CBs.

I think I'm in love.

There’s not a chance that European clubs would pass up on Upamencano if he was available and going to us for ~£25m. Would be incredible but can’t see how we’d pull it off, even with the Hasenhuttl link.

Ings.

Really fast start, couple of corners and about four shots on target. Just scored in the 11th min.

No Che. Stephens and Hoedt partnership and three average strikers. Happy to sit this one out.

If we were able to get away without playing a DM next to Hojbjerg then we wouldn't be getting rid of Lemina. It's Romeu or preferably a new signing. Personally I wouldn't mind JWP/Djenepo behind Redmond/Adams during Ings' inevitable injury periods.

Dunk for £45m to Leicester apparently.

Was just wondering where you'd both been this Summer! Got any ideas about intentions to reinvest and where abouts?

It'd be nice but I can't see them lowering their £30m valuation too much, especially considering they'll be getting money in from Jansson/Roofe as well.
