Can’t imagine a Belgian club offering a decent fee for him.

Be great if Ramsdale stays, but if the club are seeking to agree something with him then ideally I hope it can be agreed by a certain date (early August) by player and club. If he’s intending to bugger off then earlier the better to bring in a replacement. Unfortunately no matter how well intended there’s always the risk that injury to a Prem GK may lead to an unwanted bid and his head being turned near the end of the window. Whatever else, please let’s not go into next season with Bazunu anywhere near the first team.

A few notable differences though when we went into L1. We had a new owner and CEO who were ambitious for the club, and intent on making their mark. Despite the interviews recently you don’t immediately read this from Spors, as much of an improvement that he seems to be. We bought the best striker in the division, not an untried 19 year old for the future We also brought in a manager who was above the level we were playing at, to give an immediate lift and a message on our ambition. Agree with what your saying.

We have some CB’s who might fall into the Cart Horse category as well.

Would prefer Johnannsen , who would probably cost less as well.

It did, but so did not being able to get down to low shots especially to the GK's left.

But could still be improved on.

Just hope we don't end up saying similar to Mara.

More Diane Abbot than anything else.

Not following all this, but if they’re part of another group, or were at one time, does that mean they’re cup tied ? And hypothetically would it limit our chances of playing in European competition should we qualify ?

Showing your age there Qwertyell. But I wholeheartedly approve !

Three things noted there. 1. Contrary to rumours and comments on here, Elliot Staplely is considered old enough to drink. 2.No mention of Lallana. Hope he doesn't start throwing his Alice band around in a tantrum. 3. Who the fuck is this Clement bloke? Quick Google and he is a video analyst. Didn't we just get rid of one ?

A skate booking a cruise ? Really. Do P&O do cruises that take you and your caravan to Hayling Island ?

Don’t worry Still has got them in for a extra pre-season exorcising.

Nail on head.

Has been suggested on here anyway, that Koln have signed an older and more experienced striker for next season in Bundesliga so perhaps he feels game time will be limited if he stays. Plus Saints might be paying more.

Agree that we can take a punt on an up and coming player some times, or from time to time. But not time after fucking time …

You may be right but we don’t need squad depth if we’re serious about next season. We need first team starters. And that isn’t Archer, Stewart (who you can’t rely on to be fit) or BBD, for CF.

Anyone else nervous of him getting out of the vehicle ? Go easy on those ankles Kameldeen.

No just a specific thread to air discontent over another ‘one for the future’.

Seems like a cross between the signings of Mara, and Augustine Delgado. Mara as in untried, but lots of potential so will surely kick on, won’t he ??? And be worth a bit to sell on. Like Delgado, possibly one eye on the next summers WC and if he looks good there it’ll increase his value no end. Clear to see surely ? Never mind the minor inconvenience of trying to get promoted this season.

Would like to think so, although probably a bit too ambitious as he's linked with Premiership clubs.

Or one of the positions that were not deemed critical, and were waiting to offload before buying.

5’9” according to Wikipedia so probably not the main striker we’re looking for. IF true, only hope Edwards is not part of any deal.

Big feet
