Can’t be any worse than Redmond as a striker…….although probably not much better. Another Ralph brainwave 😱

I’ll rephrase - put the money towards a bid for Broja

Get him on loan and use the money for Broja then. Mara, Delap, Broja and Adams, that’ll do. Get A Armstrong out on loan with an option to buy.

We won’t finish any higher than 15th.

I hope Mara is good cos bloody hell he’s gonna need to be.

2 positives then 🤭

No mention of the rumoured new contract here or on the OS. Does that mean he hasn’t signed one or we log it with the Stephens and McCarthy non announcements?

They must rate him highly if they are turning down £16 million for a lad who has basically no significant Prem League time under his belt. It does worry me that we are going with 2 untried strikers + Adams.

Worth a few quid on Lampard. Once the penny drops with the scousers that he isn’t very good they will turn in an instant.

I thought him and McCarthy were given deals last season then it just wasnt announced...or was it only McCarthy last season ?

So that’s another striker as well as Mara then? Good news. Have to say if Stephens is one thats been told he can go that offer of the new contract last season was absolute bloody lunacy !!

Oh yes me too but they like to wait until the signing the contract and holding up the shirt photos are done don’t they?

I suspect Saints aren’t very happy Bordeaux let the cat out of the bag. I can’t remember when they last, If ever, made an “in principal” announcement

You are correct but what concerns me with buying all these young players is our opponents, whether that be game by game, or more importantly in the jostle to avoid relegation will not have any "being patient" skills, they see weakness and they will go for the jugular and how we cope with that is a big worry for me.

No, that’s Nathan Redmond 😁

oh the irony 😏 and they spent how much on Burnley's star man Chris Wood ?

You mean unlike our coaching supremo who having seen what his strengths were decided to ignore them and plonked him way upfield on his own?

I do wonder if this means another loan is on the cards, if this is true and they have turned down West Ham’s bid. If it does we could still be in the running, sign a striker, get Broja as a loan = 2 strikers, job done ! 🤣

Bloody ridiculous from Lancashire to call foul ! It must be something in the water in the North West that makes them feel like they are always wronged!! The batsmen failed to hit the ball twice, bowled the first time, missed the second. Wouldn’t have mattered if the fielders had all been on the boundary drinking tea ! What did they want? Best of 5 goes? There were some dodgy decisions throughout that final, as a former PM said recently “thems the breaks”

Is the only reason we dont play with wingers (Redmond, Walcott, Djenepo) because the wide men we have are crap though ?

Yeah as much as I liked him if we are paying £30 million I would want someone more proven I think.

I was hoping it wouldn't be him but was expecting it to be honest. umm....

in other words a younger Shane Long !

17 million apparently 😵

I think if we are relying on Adams to score many we are in deep brown stuff territory. Feel free to quote this tweet when he’s banged in 15-20 for the season though 😂
