I must admit I thought that might well happen.

Yeah of course most people would.......but if you thought you could do even better in a years time would the decision be so simple ?

100% and to be fair many pundits NOT associated with Saints have also said he would be better off spending a season tearing up the Championship and then seeing where we are in 12 months time. But for a young lad, well most people tbf, money talks and I reckon its screaming at Tyler and his family right now.

It must be devastating when a dream move to Everton looks like its slipping away.

To be fair Russell Martin knew Armstrong had to be played out wide, even he worked out he wasn't any good in the middle. WBA found that out too during that loan spell last season. I was amazed WS played him through the middle but if he wants wingers then that wide role isnt available to Armstrong I suppose. He's not a target man for how Still wants to play and that, for manager and player, is the problem.

Nope.

To be fair he was good today.

The only thing I couldn’t understand was why, given Still likes crosses into the box as much as possible we had two of Snow White’s seven dwarfs in Fraser and Armstrong through the middle. No height whatsoever. I did think in fairness to Fraser he had a good game

Whilst I agree with you Tyler really did have an injury didnt he? It wasnt one of these made up cos he's off injuries, he literally got injured in a friendly, unless I'm thinking of someone else. So a non contact training on his own isnt totally out of the question given we don't know how he came through (or not) that 60 min behind closed doors first game against Brighton last week. NB - having just heard WS in his presser forget that, the kid is obviuously off pretty soon !! 😄

I mean, there are no words. They are coming from France, they have the whole of the south coast to aim at and this prick thinks they are turning right, going along the east coast and looking for a nice quiet beach in Great Yarmouth !!!!

It’s the forum on Solent tonight isn’t it? Among the price of beer and investment in the women’s team questions surely someone will ask the question about new signings?

they can’t be naive enough to not realise if clubs know you have money then the price isn’t coming down too often. Can they?

If it doesn’t he’s screwed, there’s no way back from this. It was only 3 years ago that happened. His gratitude was somewhat short lived

Yes you can. Personally I'd want more for Fernandes than Dibling cos for buying clubs he's good to go as he is, Tyler is still a bit of a rough diamond.

It really annoys me how afronted buying teams seem when you actually make a counter offer to them. Its as if "but we are xxx, you should be grateful to us"

That contract was cancelled, torn up wasn’t it? So no, 100% ours. If he goes there I hope he likes it at Everton cos he won’t be able to repeat history this time.

I thought the DOF guy or Dragan said the loan market wasn’t the way to go after having to buy TBH and Downes just to stand still from the last promotion ?

That's kind of the way I'm leaning tbh.

Dibling - 40 million? Half of me thinks yes, go on, cash in on potential that hasnt been seen since before Christmas while the other half of me thinks with the right manager and an arm around him he could tear up this Championship.

I'm not so sure, maybe in January. He was poor in the Premier League last season, everybody including potential buyers know that, added to which he's had zero pre-season. I can see clubs possibly taking a punt in January but cant really see anyone reaching our valuation under the current circumstances. (He'll now be gone by the end of the week 😂)

Yes fire sale is a bad choice of words from Blackmore there BUT the sentiment of the post, ie players leaving, rings true,albeit not for small fees.

"too much ego, too much self preservation" oh the irony Russ 😂 and whats with this "if they arent prepared to run all the time"........i dont recall us running half the fkin time !! Just wait til his fitness regime kicks in 😉

Think we can all feel this guys pain - i cannot deal with this shit any longer, just punt it up the fucking park you twat. 🤣

What system suits Fraser, Armstrong, Manning, Bree,Stephens and Archer out of interest?

Had I been watching I’m sure you are correct
