Without seeing most of these play yet it’s a hard call but on potential and type of player I’d say 7.5 out of 10. I know it wasn’t gonna happen but I wanted Bazunu and Stephens gone with the rest of the “scar tissue” and a top notch, for this league, centre forward bought in. But hey if they can provide service for what we’ve got then fair enough. I do worry with Capt Jack and the keeper we will continue to leak silly goals.

How he makes a living as a pundit I will never know, he makes Merson look competent

Obafemi off to the German 2nd Division from Burnley on loan. Another one who doesn’t stay anywhere long.

Yep Capt Jack pulls him down, gets sent off, he scores from the free kick. That really would be the end of Stephens 🤣

Wonder if that means Bishop is off ?

Umm, newly promoted to League 1 team vs us. Might depend on whether the guy wants Premier League football and sees us as a better way to get it either directly or as a stepping stone like so many before him? Bloody French !!

Don’t get excited, Roger says it’s not happening 😝

Raskin's the one who's Dad called him out isnt it ? The Rangers fans will love that before a ball has even been kicked ! I reckon he'll get a result today to extend their agony another couple of months - process starting to show results blah blah blah

I watched the goals with an open mind as well and tbf I dont see many saving that free kick. I cant blame Bazunu for that at all.

With the three new signings, possibly four come Monday and the players already used so far I can’t see Aribo making the bench very often. A last minute loan might be the only way to get some of his wages off the books for a few months.

Yes, given the money that’s come in from transfers a decent keeper at this level wouldn’t have needed someone looking down the back of the couch for spare loose change. A solid keeper breeds confidence, Bazunu gives me the shits.

We’ve signed a German U21 international, I don’t think he’s come here to sit on the bench

Not sure buying a defender for £25 million who was bloody abysmal last season is gonna impress their entitled fans 🤣

I'll hold my hands up on this one, I honestly thought when we signed BBD he would, as someone else put it, chip in with a few goals. He's been one of our biggest dissapointing transfers in the last 5-10 years for me, and seeing some of the utter shite we have signed in that time thats saying something.

The quality of shampoo in the showers I guess? What a grade A twat.

given he didnt set the world on fire there last season I highly doubt it.

He was at the training ground by the sound of it but at no point, perhaps tellingly, did Mason say he had trained this morning as normal.

this is why you cant believe anything until either someone has taken a photo of said player at the ground - a la Dibbles at Everton - or the club actually announce it !

I'm sure they are able to multi task and complete a couple of deals at a time, its not like Ted Bates day when he had to drive to Mick Channon's mums house to get him to sign. I think its an either/or situation with Scienza and Guilovogui going by a comment from Alfie House.

Unusual for the club to mention the fee, guess they want the fans to know they havent caved in !

Well good point cos we've had 4 different versions so far - Personal terms agreed Saints low offer not accepted Alfie House intimating we have to lose Edozie or Aribo first Personal terms not discussed In other words believe nothing until he's announced or its dead in the water.

Good old Rueben 🤣

He has, I don’t disagree and I was being tongue in cheek cos some of the treatment he’s had has been a disgrace. But he is not likely to fit in with what Still wants so it’s best for all concerned if he moves on. We can’t say player a, b, and c aren’t good enough but then keep player a cos he’s one of our own !

One things for sure with these midfielders coming in, Smallbone is even further away from a starting place than ever before so fully expect to see him gone by Monday……to protect his Rep of Ireland World Cup place of course 😉

Maybe we are throwing BBD into the deal so its actually 7m plus him ? Wishful thinking......
