Saint Fan CaM

Is it a 10pm or 11pm window slamming shut deadline?

Brum have won one game less than us. We should be able to win this one if Tonda gets the starting selection right and we don’t piss around with the crab football.

Looks like he’s more of a right winger, but he can cover both wings?

After making a public statement about putting in a transfer request I don’t think we’ll see Edozie in a Saints shirt again (thankfully).

When Tonda nearly always plays with a single ‘specialist’ striker and we’ve brought in a supposed quality understudy to our first choice Larin, I can see why it’s unlikely that we’d bring in another striker of any pedigree to sit behind or even between those two. Once Abbott is through the door I reckon that’ll be it.

Cap’tn Jack is a liability, however booing an individual player or indeed the whole team before the final whistle is moronic at best. In my opinion there’s little to justify doing it even after the final whistle, even if you’re upset/angry that the team lost a game of football - it’s completely the opposite to what being a supporter is all about in my book.

What in God’s name are you talking about? 🥴🙄

Except that the lad is likely to be ‘Prem ready’ as he’s just signed a long contract with Villa and you can hardly say that about Stephens, Wood or Quarshie. An option to buy means we have exactly that - options, whether we go up or not.

Not unhappy to see a player go that refuses to play (if that’s true), but as our best CB (not difficult) it’s all about the replacement(s). Schlotterbeck has made a big difference but a new right-sided CB better than Stephens and Woods is essential to our promotion push. Think £30m is a good deal for Villa based on current player sales and THB’s potential in a better defence, but he’s not irreplaceable.

Deserves a new showing, but perhaps not on this thread! 😂

Mmm, don’t see the rough pencil sketch i meant in that article atall. The one I remember definitely had SMS with an ‘extension’ and the infamous petting zoo. I wish I’d saved a copy - someone surely has it saved somewhere?

Absolutely this - he might be decent from the middle of the park but he’s a shite defender and has cost us on many occasions. Primary job of a LB is that he defends, which Manning doesn’t do well and why in a back 4 I’d much rather see Welington, who can attack but also has a better engine to track back. I watch Manning go walk about with complete shock sometimes - like on Saturday when he waltzed over to the advanced right hand side of the field literally taking up Fellows position - WTF?!

Yes, but it falls back in line behind the sketch of the new look SMS with the monkey chicken petting zoo.

I REALLY hope so - this guy is the real deal, can even cook at Prem level. Better than the bird man and more suited to what we need. I’m suddenly getting excited by the possible no.1 CB pairing we might end up with - a new era Killer and Claus?

After the first 20 minutes a really great performance and so much more composed. The back four needs sorting out though…as an urgency!
