Baird of the land

Not a fan of the lineup. Why drop charles who has been really good. Hopefully Mara is upfront rather than out wide where he has never shown any aptitude. No Sulemana on bench, guess he wasn't expected to stay and we'll see what happens after this week

Isn't Larios also an option for that side or am i misrembering

One thing from the highlights reel is that he is no Le Tiss/Lambert from the spot.

my Only concern is wing position where we’ve weakened. Really reliant on sulemana coming back and showcasing why we spent so much on him.

If true You really couldnt make it up. Saints spend all their energy trying to sign an injured player and then pull out when they discover he's injured.

Wonder if Roberts is merely a fallback option if we don't get primary wide targets such as buchanan

Liked the looks of him at the World Cup. If Athletico are seriously interested can't see it happening though.

I'm fine with it. Was going to be difficult to get someone to come and play 3rd fiddle to Armstrong and stewart anyway, so might as well be Mara if he's willing.

Nice to see the obligation to buy included in the deal.

Seems a good developmental move for him. Hopefully we can get Stewart, plus 1 more to go along A.Armstrong as our options upfront.

Yeah i'm not particularly excited by the prospect of Roberts either.

If Mara's off there must be someone else coming in.

Let's hope he's the new ricky lambert.

Guess it protects our financial interests because he'll be our asset rather than walking.

Has Moussa been padding his wikipedia.

Moussa got 11 in 39 in belgian league too in his last season.

Can't say i'm excited by the prospect. May turn out to be a good player but terms like 'prepared to get on a plane' hardly sound like the description of someone who's particularly enthiusiastic. You do wonder if he'd even be on our radar if it wasn't for the desire to get Tall Paul off the books.

He did apologise. These sort of things never end there as instantly then it became about getting him to resign. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38238051/spain-government-official-wants-luis-rubiales-resign-kiss The new video released showing the players laughing about the incident is an interesting new development.

I'd be shocked if they don't bring someone in. Martin has been pretty straight talking so to deliberately lie to the fanbase already skittish at the transfer business would be a very odd move. What they haven't promised to do is replace Sulemana.

More of our quality thoughtful January recruitment it seems. Shame as he's got the pace that he could potentially tear up this league if he was actually bothered. Seems like we may have to end up loaning him out without an option with the hope he does well in the shop window if teams are refusing to come close to his asking price and he won't play for us. Does put real pressure on whoever they've targetted as Tella's replacement to be very good.

Couldn't care which RB Leeds sign. Think us and Leicester would still have the top 2 in Pereira and KWP. Unless we do something incredibly stupid like sell KWP.

Leicester losing a player who hasn't played a single minute for them this season. Akin to us losing Salisu, in terms of no one caring. It will mean something if it was Justin or Pereira.

Would be bizarre to me to flog our quality RB and replace with a Leeds fringe player who at the weekend was hauled off at HT for his performance, after only coming on in 24th minute. If we're after him it should only be as a bree replacement.

Slightly Disappointed it is just that. Hopefully he can do well and they’ll feel inclined to pay up but it rarely seems to happen. Is larios actually fit?
