Is that David Moyes talking about Dibling coming back on loan ?

Except our sales in recent years (apart from Lavia as the exception I think) seldom get to £40m.

Perhaps selling some of them (Sugawara, Downs spring to mind ) by a sort of Littlewoods catalogue arrangement of paying over multiple instalments is the only way we’ll get rid of them.

Yes, think we can guess how this will pan out,

The only figure mentioned was 100 Norwegian Krone, c £8m. No idea if accurate, or if our opening or second bid.

£4m plus sell on for Edozie doesn’t sound too bad to me

Wonder how much the bids were for Falchener. Disappointing. Hope we can get a CF, and No 2 GK in with the funds still in the kitty.

To go with replacing a CF, and not with a work experience lad from Man City.

I hadn’t heard of either until a few days agreed. Impossible for us to make any informed judgment really, although would now be happy to see either Falchener or Affengruber signed. From the little seen and read, Falchener might have the edge in my book. Bit taller and a couple of years younger, although I have to remind myself that’s probably irrelevant as he’ll look to fuck off in a couple of years. But he does look more of a goal threat and the prospect of him, Schlotterbeck and Larin getting on the end of a Manning free kick (as Saturday) or a JWP corner would be an exciting prospect. No idea how Affengruber matches up in that area. But either would see us have the best defence in the division.

Hope Henrik settles in Southampton. Don’t want him homesick, pining for the fjords …

At least he’s still exiting the stadium from the main route in public view rather than being smuggled out on the opposite side of the ground as at Falkirk or wherever last season. But give it another month and see.

Thought I had a good memory of Monty Python but no recollection of that sketch. I salute you MLG for bringing that out of the archives

Have to prey he signs

Don't suppose your friend is Lucy Pinder by any chance?

He's quite talonted by all accounts.
