Lots of choppy seas ahead I expect....

I'd think at least that to make it worth our while. Maybe 30m plus Brooks.

Ramsdale made quite a big deal of "being on the south coast" when he signed last year. For this reason alone, I believe he might actually stay, but I wonder whether Bournemouth will either loan or sign him. Signing will take 30m I imagine. Loaning is probabaly the best outcome for all parties. I just hope we have a complete refresh of goalkeepers and find a way of getting rid of AMC and Bazunu too. Possibly an experienced loaned this year as main man, with a couple of up and coming ones who could play this season if needed. And then if we go back up next summer AR returns, loaned GK goes back, and the other two might be good backups. If not address it then. If we do not go back up immediately, sell AR, and go from there. Year two will be much harder financially unless we've maximised sales this summer.

Would probabaly be a really decent signing.

Fellows = the attacking midfielder we are after??

Im not too fussed about having a mega tall striker BUT it is something we lack for corners & free kicks into the box. Someone will no doubt correct me but I think its a long time since we were an afield threat for corners, and that means they are almost a waste of time and more likely to give the opposition an easy time. Banging long balls to a tall man is only effective if you have runners off them and is quite a primitive tactic now (unless its very late in tbe game etc). A player who can get in the right position very often is exactly what we need so that others creating chances can confidently rely on. The striker to be there. When you don't have that you erode confidence of wingers and AMs and they will be less inclined to be positive. So I like the idea of this Downs bloke. I'd still like another, maybe more experienced, Sargent or Stansfield maybe

Can you share the link please?

Crikey, Juric really is an idiot if happy to apend that on KS😂😂 Get it done Saints!! Would like to think we will spend reasonable sums on the striker who should be our main one. It seems like Spors has got a good appreciation of our weaknesses with the CB, Striker and AM being "urgent immediate" signings. I have a feeling this might actually be the best window we have had for a long time!🤞🤞🤞

Somebody from Newcastle?

Forgot Charles and Edozie. They are worth keeping.

Its really interesting reading all the opinions of players and who should stay and who should go. In reality we probably on have Ramsdale and Fernandes who we should keep; maybe include the talent that Dibling is (rather than the finished article he isn't yet). Ramsdale is being touted about everywhere by everyone it would seem, and think he might stay. Fernandes much less, but I hope he stays (only going on his recent quotes really) but probabaly wont. Didbling in my opinion is 50:50 (given his Chelsea experience). EVERYONE else I really couldnt give two hoots whether they go or not. Some I would prefer to go for sure. I'd happily see the players move on; Stephens, AMC, Bree, Manning, Bednarek, Smallbone, Fraser, Onuacha, Sugawara, Aribo. Im happy to give these a season as still young enough to improve; Archer, Wood, Wellington, Edwards Ive probabaly missed some out but thats the problem! Will Still has a viewing very big summer and a very big task ahead of him. I expect ALOT of INS, but more OUTS. I also expect it to take (and think it best) two seasons to get back to PL.

Archer will be a decent player so I hope he stays. The others are more than welcome to **** off.

Oh yeah!!! Knew I'd forgotten one. I like him too. Great experience, solid pro. And can play CB.

Ramsdale- brilliant KWP - brilliant he's still here THB - great we got the deal done last year Downes - great Fernades - very excited by him Cornet - excited BBD - think he'll be great Fraser - very pleased he's back Archer - very excited Suga - looks awesome Lesley - excited Edwards - I expect he will be good in a year or so Wood - still young. Let's see!! Lallana - very astute Stewart - think he'll come good despite popular belief!! A great window. Well done Saints!!!

You might be right but why the f*** do people think an announcement has to happen before 12pm...as long as the paperwork is done all is fine. 🤦
