Thanks. Interesting as 12 goals for a struggling Oxford last season isn’t a bad return. My only first hand memory of him is slicing a good chance wide at St Mary’s (but then look at Kane the other night). Trouble with Lankshear is that he’ll probably be a last minute loan after De Zerbi has sorted his squad. Hornby has signed for Wolfsburg this summer. He’s good for ‘derailing’ transfer threads though.

Ralph’s probably retired isn’t he ?

What is Selles up to ? Last I read he’d been sacked in Spain

Further up the thread in last couple of days. Probably not a reliable source though.

Another MF mentioned on the thread is the 6’4” Norwegian Dahl. Young, and built like a proverbial brick shithouse, which seems a good start for a DM.

If we’re spending serious Charles/Fernandes dosh on it then someone mentioned the Millwall strikers (Ivanovic ? and Coburn) on here previously, worth considering. Of the four you mention Tolaj apparently has something about him, Futkeu seems to match some of our tickboxes ( Bundesliga 2, affordable etc).Lankshear - did he really show anything at Oxford last year ?

Probably going against today’s tide of thought here but I thought Dan Neil would have been a good addition and business (especially if we sell Charles for upwards of £25m). From what I’d read and his promotion experience I can’t join the “well he wasn’t good enough …” , “we didn’t really want him…” pile on. That’s not to say we can’t do better, although it will cost more. The Mulligan of Hibs rumour might now resurface, although we don’t seem to have been active recruiting in Scotland for years. Or perhaps Spors/Tonda will know a Bundesliga 2 gem to come in.

In another report I saw this morning it suggested he was leaning towards Man Utd. Article suggested Man Utd would look to offer WHU a couple of players in exchange. That might bugger up the calculation of our %

As long as there is state funded legal aid they’ll be a whole appeals industry to stretch things out.

Far too much common sense for that to catch on.

With Wimbledon upon us I’d expect this thread to have a few ‘bumps’ again. Many years ago on the old Saints Forever I think the Wimbledon totty used to have a thread of its own in which Sharapova and Hantuchova featured prominently. Perhaps John Inverdale was right and hit on something that they’re not “lookers” any more.

Wondered the same. Talking to a Stoke fan last season and joking about the £8m they were going to pay for Bazunu. The comment was that he assured me they wouldn’t be giving us that for Bazunu adding Stoke wouldn’t have tgat to spend in total !

Any idea what the club earn from concerts, and the other add ons ?

Shame Germany went out. They might have raised their game next round to beat the French. Can’t see Paraguay doing that. French look the outstanding team at the minute which is annoying as they are currently in the ‘Anyone but ..’ pole position for me. A not too exclusive list of former members include Argentina, Germany, and Andy Murray.

Wearing next season’s shirt was quite a common feature in the early 90’s, seem to recall a few clubs doing it. On a different point, anyone any idea when this new shirt (and aways) will officially be announced? Need something else to moan about.
