You’re letting the word quality do a lot of heavy lifting. He didn’t set Sheffield Utd alight last season during his loan spell

I'm gonna say Fraser will go but we'll see.

It's gonna be an interesting squad more so for the absentees. Having said that are Fernandes, Edwards and Downs ready to join up wth that squad yet ?

To make them run 9km then play a match the next day is showing he wants Strachan type levels of fitness. I like that, so far impressed by him.

I'm seeing Smallbone as a good player in the Scottish Premier League, change of shirt colour, familiar manager etc

I bloody knew it would be him. Keep it up Jack, it’s earned you a three year contract after all 😡

According to the OS report Saints were caught in possession in their own penalty area for the first goal of the game……….cant wait to see who that was !

Did you get the same size you’d normally get from the Saints store or do they need bigger/smaller size selected?

pretty sure we did but that was a blessing in disguise

I wish my shirt from 1997 still fitted 😒

Lets hope fun for the fans means rejoicing at saying goodbye to some of the shite and hello to decent pedigree replacements.

In all seriousness if nobody buys Bednarek, THB stays and then on top of that you add Quarshie, Edwards and Wood what the fuck did they give a 3 year contract to Stephens for? Even with 3 (certainly 2) central defenders ahead of him its crazy, if we still had 5 its beyond ridiculous !

Yeah, if we are gonna get rid of any we dont want that aren't that good it will all happen very late on in the window

So if THB stays and with Quashie signed and Edwards coming back from loan is it too much to hope that Stephens will be 4th choice ?

It’s 100 times better than that shirt from a few years back

You can hear it now, "we have two great keepers in McCarthy & Bazunu who will push each other all season. We will use the money to strengthen in other areas"

While it’s a valid point you are making would you really want to go to a club that probably will be just as bad as we were? If it was West Ham, Bournemouth, Palace etc I wouldn’t hesitate if I was him but a repeat season? No thanks

Low bar, but good to hear all the same

Likewise 😡

They bloody well did, he was never the same player for them.

Tbf a lot of those hands on his hips looking around moments were when he was responsible for the conceded goal 🤣

100% agree, I've seen a few comments recently saying he wasn't that bad......err, he bloody well was.

I would be surprised if Arsenal went for him at this stage. Seems from their business so far they are going for more proven players, I think after 2 years of being runners up they are prepared to splash the cash on players who can get them over the line. Not sure that’s Dibling yet.

Cue the announcement of Bazunu signing a new contract !

Would he be better at the bottom of the Premier League or the (hopefully) top end of the Championship in terms of England selection?
