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......

Its reported the club have seen photos of him at West Ham's training complex yesterday.

Agreed. I thought he looked a different player in a 2 with Stewart the other night.

The winger from Lens seems to have got list in the mix here !!

yeah but that was Liverpool, different set of rules !! But you're right, nothing will happen even if they did.

Although lets be honest asking the local journos to sit on a story for a day or so isnt hard, you scrub my back etc. and being out of the Premier League means Sky and the newspapers dont give a flying f**k !!

Alfie House indirectly

Is that Joe Aribo lazy or a better lazy ?

again Alfie House has suggested its true. If so thats very bad from Fernandes and his agent moreso. Bollocks to him then, off you fuck to another relegation battle 😂

Just seen that. Wouldn't that suggest the deal is further along than originally thought ?
