Has this actually been a rumour anywhere other than the one guy on here? Id imagine if it was on twitter it would have been reposted a billion times.

No don’t think so, just giving an overview of the days events.  Hence why I said “not really”

Cheers yeah I assumed as much. If we signed all the links AND spertsyan I think this place would explode.

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..)

 

Pretty good. Personally I'd say two upgrades needed though. GK and CF but neither will happen.

Not a chance would we sign Spertsyan and Azaz. That would make zero sense.

So I’ve been working all day, on a 8-20:00 today, can someone clarify - have we suddenly bought every player in Europe?

Ive read several reports on six or seven players we’ve supposedly agreed deals with today.

all panic buys

I think it's quite clear Azaz was our fall back option when we knew Spertsyan wasn't coming.

Some great signings and if we get all/most across the line we're in for an exciting season. My one gripe would be lack of decent striking options but I guess maybe all the creativity will provide chances that the likes of Stewart, Archer, Downs and AA will be unable to miss 🙂 Or could we have a cheeky loan option in the pipeline on the last day of the window? Fingers crossed.

yeah happy re-judge the strikers based on them getting better service.

Jesus just have wingers who beat the 1st man when crossing will be a game changer.

Only issue with that is if it doesn't work it will be too late to do anything about it. I still have a feeling we may see one more after these signings depending on outgoings.

Perhaps there are a few 'oldies' on here who remember the 'good old days' when we had two out and out wingers ie Terry Paine (World Cup Winner in 1966) and John Sydenham supplying crosses to Ron Davies (30+) goals a season. Those were good days when Saints may not have won anything in the old 1st Division but boy was it enjoyable!!

including loans when Fernandes is confirmed and if we can get shot of Edozie, Aribo and Smallbone that's 21 players gone in one window, never seen anything like that before. A great job getting rid of that lot, it does feel like a clean sweep. Get the 4 new boys over the line and that a much more streamlined squad which is very strong for this league.

Well pleased with all the signings to be,the only slight worry is do we have the forwards to stick away all the chances we will surely make each game. As has been alluded to,we cannot keep a clean sheet and therefore need to score at least twice to win a game.

Yes we do

Downs, Archer and Stewart are more than enough

Was hoping that Edozie, Smallbone and Aribo would all go permanently but starting to worry about those a little bit.

Much like Bella-Kotchap, never had much of a hope about Brereton-Diaz being anything other than a loan departure.

Archer plays off the shoulder and needs a proper AM behind him looking for that through ball or a hold up striker who can play him in. We haven't had anyone like that in the squad since he's been here. Azaz looks like he plays that way based on his highlight reel.

I feel confident with Archer knowing how he can finish now that we've invested in actual creativity behind him.

Stewart and Downs will have to do a lot off the bench to fight for a spot but I'd be giving Archer a run of games from Portsmouth onwards to see if he can claim it.

This remains a missing part of the jigsaw.

 

(And a GK ! - but that won't happen this window).

Not sure we can say that with confidence at the moment. Maybe they will prove to be but it's by no means close to certain at present.

I think Stewart and Downes are going to be prolific with two “white paint on their boots” wingers playing. Looking at Fellows assists compilation from last year, a lot of them were step over, gain a yard and flight a lofted crosses to the back post to attack. Stewart is 50-1 to be Championship top scorer, may have a fiver on it!!

Most importantly, we are losing so much of the scar tissue from the Martin era. We have an attack that will be positive and drive forward, rather than a pass back to retain possession.
I still have some reservations about the defence arsing around it with too much but Still will be onto that. It was audible the other night at Norwich when he was whistling across to Macca to go long and not bugger about.

I want that to be true.

Would be more confident with a good +1 though.

Any of potential newbees signed yet?

No. Spors/Still/Solak out. 😁

But then Fernandes hasn't confirmed gone yet so those 3 can stay. For now...

21 sounds mad, have you got the full list? 

Probably what was needed after last season
