It wouldn’t be a transfer window without Saints seeming to go up a blind alley on a deal that doesn’t materialise. How many times have we heard ‘we tried … but couldn’t get it over the line in time’ ?

Yes, had played for him at Reading. I always thought he was just average for the team we had at the time which was crap.

I think the main issue that has brought criticism is losing his balance twice. Doubt fans would have been so critical without. Being able to stay on your feet shouldn’t need time to acclimatise to those around him.

Interesting stats.

Leeds also linked with Paintsil from Genk.. https://www.leedsunited.news/news/journalist-says-leeds-close-to-another-signing-alongside-attackers-joel-piroe-and-nadiem-amiri/

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch. (Spurs and skates aside perhaps)

MIght depend who his agent was, shall we say. He signed some crap for skates and West Ham (Dutch bloke who fucked off after about 10 games springs to mind, Boogars was it ?)

I thought he looked useful too, seemed to offer a bit more physical presence than the shortarses we tend to sign. Looked decent going forward as well. But hey, that was youtube, the prism that made De Ridder look a world beater.

I think it was a throwaway comment by a former player/pundit saying he might not get much game time, Poch might consider loaning him back. Probably tongue in cheek, but it's appeared on one of the obscure websites, and grown legs from there.

How are they paying for the stadium ???

Well worth £35m of any Arab's money.

Wonder if this will be the end of our interest in the German lad.

Sounds like a candidate to join the Sports Republic portfolio.

Good points, and sums it up for me.

Rose West as tea lady. Although she nearly had a stand bearing her name. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-62405123

Well suited.

Lost a bit of weight since his West Ham photo following his dose of shits. We should negotiated the loan fee per kg.

Any reason for England to be playing in their sky blue change strip ?

Alpine Saint ? Christ, there’s a name from the past. Developments over the last 12 months would have seen him in his element. Almost as much as the managerial appointments. Just Amazed that didn’t bring Dalek out of retirement.

Les used to be "relaxed" about the summer windows, Ralph was confident, if not convinced we had a striker in the bag, so you can understand supporter's frustrations and doubts. But agree that it's not for us to worry about, too many other important things to worry about in real life, the assortment that RM has to select 11 from doesn't rate too highly in the scheme of things (even though we'll all moan like mad if we don't bring the right ones in. Again)

Could he have been worse than NJ and Ruben from November onwards ?

Call himself Taller Paula after transitioning

Want them to win today, but hope the media (and fans) just don’t start a “it’s coming home” bollocks.

Was an integral part of Saturday nights growing up in the 1970’s. MOTD (two matches as highlights and less talk), followed by Parkinson before turning in. Compulsive viewing. His shows were as good as the guests, and he interviewed some of the biggest names going, most who had something of interest to recount rather than just jawing for the sake of it (or as a promotional tour).

Clearly, really ? Or is it a better player staying ? No idea if you are genuinely ITK Manji,with connections at the club, but you seem to have supreme confidence in those running things at St Mary’s. This time last year, those ITK might have considered Gakpo likely to be coming in. Perhaps your post will be worth revisiting on 1st September.
