We don’t know that ? I suspect it will be Sulemana leaving tbh, as I genuinely don’t believe he wants to be here Historically plenty of Championship promoters loaned players in, because you get players of the correct quality without the long term commitment If we bought players like Fraser etc, and comitted to long contracts there will be plenty of people moaning about our lack of flexibility to buy prem quality because of Championship ’deadwood’

It certainly could do yeah, again I said that yesterday, for whatever reason we seem happy to not persue it

Probably that we don’t really need him Ive not at all said its a bad deal, its a good deal, you’re just throwing out insults again as the conversation isn’t going your way, all I said was it appears Leeds expedited it for one reason or another Just stop interacting with me tbh mate, your posts don’t really add anything with any substance anyway

I suspect plenty of clubs have been in contact, but the story of their bid still broke late Wed eve and they got it done last night

Well the fact that they concluded it in about 2/3 days makes it a rushed deal mate, generally transfer negotiations take ages

The rumour around the staplewood start of the window was that we’ve been in contact and were keen on Piroe as a target, not entirely sure if anything changed Looks like Leeds rushed through a deal ? Maybe to stop us before we could get in a position to do so ? Who knows 🤷‍♀️

Probably Hove, I suspect we’d of heard something by now if it was Wood

I imagine its probably around wages, I expect there will be a compromise… no shot he’ll just want to sit here for 3 years

Not even that bothered about Paintsil Wonder if Genk still want to take Onuachu

What point am I missing ? There’s been literally zero 17m fee’s so far

There’s been zero The top two fee’s are; Piroe - 16m Charles - 12m But crack on Nostradamus

Piroe Not really sure where I stand on it tbh, dissapointed to see him go to a rival considering he looks, on paper, as a solid option at this level… be interesting to see what he does at Leeds, he’s been dissapointing so far in Swanseas new look tactics, but I do expect him to be a success Ultimately we’ll see if this is an SR miss step in a couple of months; - Do we keep Che ? - Do we sell and fail to replace ? - Does Piroe flop ? Of course the transfer comittee doesn’t get the benefit of hindsight, but I suspect if they really thought Piroe was the make or break player than we’d of made a move My ‘gut’ feel is we’ll either keep Che or sign a player more able to play a hold up/disrupter type of game Overall it does worry me, but I have faith

Ill ask the question again then.. wasn’t necessarily to you but it’s still relevant Do you expect us to spend 140m in the Championship?

He’s bought into a multi club model, not just Southampton.. we’re still purchasing other clubs for that multi club partnership, its simply not effective if the flagship club is in the Championship People keep forgetting that.. yes they’re probably in it for the profit, but its a long term strategy

After 2-3 we look weak… we’re in the Championship mate And we probably have the best depth in the division

Pretty much bang on how I see it, we recruited Shea and Manning early, because we clearly knew they’d be in demand and would likely need them, Shea looks great and Manning Im 50/50 on… but you can’t bemoan that signing, on paper from last year he looked very good I think we expected to lose Lyanco earlier, unfortunately it didn’t materialise, he’s on good money and we probably need him gone to properly sanction a move for a CB which is dissapointing and as a fan I want to see more depth there but here we are 🤷‍♀️ The bedwetting is a bit OTT though; GK - Bazunu, McCarthy, Lumley CB - Bednarek, Stephens, ABK, Lyanco, Awe LB - Manning, Perraud, Larios RB - KWP, Bree CM - Charles, Downes, Smallbone AM - Alcaraz, Stu Armstrong, Aribo RW - Tella, Sulemana, Amo-Amenyaw LW - Edozie, Sulemana, Djenepo ST - Arma, Che Adams I appreciate we all want to see new blood coming into the team and I do believe we’ll see it but that squad is already more than capable of winning promotion but also is too bloated. Of course we want to, and SR want to be promoted, but we also need to position ourselves correctly, the way FFP affects clubs at this level means you get only 2/3 bites before the restraints start hurting you. That squad probably needs a CB and a CM to be, arguably the best ‘squad’ in the Champ, of course we need to still get a tune out of it but still. Id also expect us to strengthen any positions we lose our starters in Chill.. there is a week left

Hopefully, I like the look of him

This is the part of the window that’s effectively Wellington holding the battlefield… almost time for Blucher to win the day

Yeah we need reinforcements, I don’t see why we havn’t moved for a CB yet really.. I do wonder if we’re waiting for more dominoes to fall and are gambling on better options in a week but.. Id say we need 1 x CM and 1 x CB.. no more than that A striker if Che leaves and a further CB if ABK leaves

Exactly

Are you expecting us to spend 140m in the Champ ?

Im quite surprised we aren’t in for him for 12m tbh Seems reasonably cheap for known quality that also knows the system and manager

You mean they can’t just bend over and take the first offer instead of pushing for a valuation they’re happy with ?

If Leicester sell Daka they’ll be in the race

You expect us to spend 140m in the Championship?
