Not as if there’s a full eight hour working day to contend with when he reaches his destination either

Bet his Dad, Bernard, will upset a few fuckers in hospitality though

April 2019 from the linked article posted.

Good to see he had a good game for WBA in 2019. Has he done anything of note since ? You may be right that he has something, but he’s never stood out as someone we should be after. Even in the Championship.

Not keen on that, always thought he was crap

As LB’s or LWB’s go, this is an “oven ready” signing

And don’t forget the Glaswegian tones of Che McAdams

As Scottish as Che, presumably through parents or grandparents. Don’t see why there is such surprise. Presumably even as a vegan he can still eat a battered mars bar when he feels like it.

Found this: Werder Bremen have opted for a green version of our home kit. At least we avoided a plain back.

Not quite the Manchester United or Newcastle move that perhaps he and his agent thought was heading their way.

If we could do it early I’d be happy getting back what we paid for him. Even better if we can recoup the wages when he ‘wasn’t available’ for whatever reason.

Agree to some extent, although it goes to show the regard subsequent players are held in.

Would have been a very popular option, over some of the recent efforts if it had been put to the vote I’m sure.

Suspect you’d have heard less about it from Solihull Moors fans had he gone there though.

Was hoping for a yellow and blue version of the home kit after someone’s leaked info in here. BUT it’s a vast improvement on the horrendous abortions they served up last season, so thankful for that, as it looks quite tidy.

Especially as City insist on a buy back and sell on clause …

Come on, I may not particularly like their club, and their constantly whinging fans, but you can’t knock their achievements over the years and attraction to players. PSV - assume you mean PSG. What is their success record outside of their domestic league ? Yes I’d prefer him to go to Real or Barcelona than Liverpool but if they or Arsenal stump up what we want I don’t really give two monkeys. Bloke was never going to stay with us, let’s move on, spend it wisely (for a change). Danger is we get a piss poor offer, and after his Costa with Klopp he goes on a sulk to force a move. So £50m will do nicely. And make sure of a healthy % sell on for when he does go to Spain.

Could he have been worse than Bazunu and McCarthy over the course of the season ?

Yes, £50m to Arsenal, £60m to them. No Adam Hamill type cast offs in pt exchange either. Especially one that has the most special of special nights in European football. YNWA ad nauseum

Saints always used to have a good support from around the county, Andover, Winchester, Basingstoke etc , and South Wiltshire. Rather than dismissing the support from outside the city , the bigger question might be why isn’t it stronger in the city itself ?

Having been there, I certainly don’t.

Yeh, I still believe we’ll walk Division Two after keeping Channon and Osgood. It’ll be a doddle.

£35m for Harvey Barnes, yet clubs think we’re unrealistic is wanting £40-50m for Livramento, JWP and Lavia !

Livramento suffered a serious injury at the end of the previous season so was always going to be a long term absentee last season. From what we saw of Larios I don’t think we missed him during his absence. Beyond belief that the club didn’t think a 19 year old GK wouldn’t struggle in his first season. He may have had some muppets in front of him but that doesn’t excuse some of the feeble attempts he let in (the header at home to Brighton springs to mind).

This stands out a mile doesn't it? Both Terry Paine and Jimmy Case were touted as replacements for their existing managers. Neither succeeded to the role, and in many ways their presence/absence continued to haunt the eventual successor. I think Fonte is older than Martin as well.
