Saint Matty 76

Look forward to the Hagrid themed announcement.

Can’t really remember the last transfer we made that feels this significant, fair play. Really just need one more attacking option and we’re looking strong!

Thanks for the memories Smallbone and Aribo. Let’s play these two now please!

We really don’t have anyone else like Dibling.

That seems a really good fee to be fair, and leaves us able to use a loan slot on an attacker.

Oh had no clue, cheers mate.

Looks a lot of fun on paper, hopefully there's a stream. Lots of exciting dribbly players, not much end product.

Looks like a brief has been given to Sky and talkSPORT to say that Ramsdale is nowhere near and we're looking at other options now.

He was also Bournemouth and Sheffield United's POTY in their relegation campaigns. Followed by the PFA Premier League TOTY in 22/23.

Really didn't see us being able to pull that off, and it's a pretty incredible signing on the face of it. If we manage to bring in a quality attacker, anywhere across the board for me (AM, LW/RW, ST) then I really think we could have a chance of staying up.

Wow, Fabrizio says Ramsdale looks to be happening!

Would assume there isn't much in this one due to his public history with homophobia and sexism.

Would only be interested in Cornet on a prove-it loan deal which we cannot do alongside Ramsdale.

A report from a decent Arsenal source saying we're in for Ramsdale this morning. Can't help but read into RM's comments about wage structure yesterday though and refuse to believe in this one.

Fully agree, that's why I said we shouldn't! After him doing it on Saturday however, I fear we're in that for the long haul.

Confirmed 11 changes on the Echo. Lumley Bree - Edwards - Wood - Taylor - Manning Fernandes - Ugochukwu Dibling - Archer - Edozie My guess at it, although I'd rather Dibling in midfield and SAA in for Manning at RW.

"Southampton, recently relegated from the Premier League, are looking to strengthen their team for an immediate return to the top flight. Kostic’s experience and quality could be a valuable asset in their promotion push." Hope he helps us do it!

John Percy @JPercyTelegraph #wba have rejected a bid of around £10m from Southampton for winger Tom Fellows. Offer regarded as well below his market value. Other Premier League clubs monitoring situation but WBA will demand a big fee

I'm pretty sure it was Fellows, yeah. I thought he looked really dangerous in that first leg.

Pray to be proven wrong but I don’t think we’re capable of the finances required for Ramsdale. Especially when you realise we still need attacking help on top of that deal which would likely spread us very thin, can’t see it.

Shame, but hopefully means the club know they have to pay the Ramsdale money now. Linked with a £10m move for Tom Fellows too, quite liked him when I saw him play last year.

Of everything going at the minute, how have you come to that conclusion?

Doesn't look particularly exciting but I guess we were always going to have to gamble on somebody from abroad. Stats look shite. Once moved to Russia for £20m.

Alcaraz too unpredictable for RM’s tactics. However, that unpredictability is exactly what this team looks devoid of and desperately needs. Oh well, if it helps us survive this year through reinvestment then it’ll be a necessary sacrifice. God knows who we look at now though to do that.

Haha fair enough, not wrong when you put it that way.
