Two years ago we only signed Charles and Stewart for fees as well and neither had a real impact on the season. Seems we're going down a different route this time and it's exciting. SR have made me eat my words about this window for now, hopefully it translates onto the pitch and these new signings do work as there's a big match coming up soon. But, definitely feel more confident. Just need to get that star forward... (Greedy)

As much as I'd love us to sign Sargent ,has there been a single link to him coming to saints at any point during this window?

The link is obvious, just a bit cryptic. Still is ginger, so is Sargent, if that’s not a link I don’t know what is. They have also both been known to drink from cups, also known as beakers, Beaker is also a ginger. How much more do you need?

Just saying I'll be happy if/when they get over the line! Would be very like saints for West ham to want the other Boro player and then them not being so keen to sell.

Tell them they don't get Fernandes if they do that before we've signed our fella from Boro...

Really nice blend of championship experience and flair in these prospective signings. Think they've got the balance right.

He's the main sports guy at the echo and right pretty much all the time.

I've been offline pretty much all day so still catching up. Pretty amazing day and looking like a much better window.

It's a shame about Matty but we didn't need him to go up.

Well done Spors and Saints.

Never in doubt

Alfie is very good, worth following, as is George Rees-Julian

Alfie tends to be like Athletic, gets a lot of info but only reports when he is confident 

Where as the likes of Crook who obviously want engagement just report a fart on the training ground if it’s directed in another teams direction

All very exciting. I’ll relax when pen is put to paper on these deals. 
good business if it all come to fruition. 
some top talent.

It sounds like the two fellas from Germany are both tipped to play at a much higher level, ones already playing Bundesliga so wonder what the deal is to come to the championship? A move to us wouldn't appear a natural step up for both of these players who appear to be very, very good

Wow. Disappointed beyond words. Were starting to put together an exciting attack with Fellows, Johnston and Price and going to sell one of our prized assets for £10m!!!!! Peanuts! Azaz was a youth player at Albion and was bang average so we let him go... and Saints pay more for him than Fellows... who is easily worth £20-25m. Absolutely gutted.

 

Lol

Stepping stone to Liverpool/PL in a couple of years, I guess. That’s been the model for a while now

Could be, although I thought he was more in the habit of "breaking" news that was already broken. He struck me as a bit like a character in High Noon who's always too slow on the draw. Which is a bit health-limiting when you think about it.

Perhaps returning to our ‘use us as a stepping stone’ transfer approach.  It’s obvious that our decline the past few years started when we started making life difficult for players when looking to leave.  As annoying as it always was seeing players like Mane and van Dijk play for us for 1-2 seasons before earning their moves, if the alternative is 5 years of Nathan Redmond or Jan Bednarek, I know which approach I’d prefer.

Got to think Johannes is also a factor in the german moves. Clearly well respected in those circles and offering a pathway etc.

I must admit i'm gobsmacked about both these signings, how the hell we have pulled these off god only knows!

watching the videos of Fellows and Scienza they both seem to thrive on putting crosses into the box for a big striker, although Scienza also seems good at cutting inside and shooting, you'd think that would mean one of Downs or Stewart are going to be the preferred striker.

Agree, i dont know much about either of them until today but both of them seem to be really highly rated in Germany with both tipped for moves to big clubs, so pretty amazing if they both come to us, as i say, it doesn't appear to be a natural upward move for either.

Given that Still has been whanging on about wanting to play with wingers, I think a bigger man up top is exactly what he wants.

If we get them for a couple of years, and make a tidy profit, I'll take that.

Come on Saints. Just sell Archer, loan out BBD and get Sargent in on deadline day. You know it makes sense.

My family are ginger which means we're related to both of them and I'm telling you know, it's gonna happen.

Most clubs are like that now. Apparently the reason Isaak has kicked off is because Newcastle promised to sell him if they got an offer from a top club after a set amount of time. Seems like everyone is stepping stone club these days

Leo Scienza left winger

Caspar Jander central midfielder

Tom Fellows right winger

Finn Azaz number 10

Means we'll likely see a switch to 4231

Hi Will Still!

2/3 players for every position for whatever formation we play:

GK - Baz/Macca/Long

RB - Mads/Bree

LB - Welington/Manning/Taylor

RCB - THB/Wood/Edwards

LCB - Capn Jack/Quarshie

CM1 - Shea/Jander

CM2 - Downes/Sesay

RW - Fellows/Fraser

AM - Azaz/Matsuki

LW - Robinson/Scienza

Str - Downs/Stewart/AA/Archer

Assuming we sell Matty, Smallbone, Aribo and BBD by the deadline.

Hell of a squad for the Championship. Surely no more incomings if we get Jander, Scienza, Azaz and Fellows... surely...

(Gets greedy and wants more..)
