I heard Slicker was bound for City. 😎 anyone over 45 might get that...

Madness going to Spurs whilst Levy is in charge.

But Poch will probably be available after the WC in 2026. 

Even if he's sacked, financially perfect for him. Plus with Mbuemo probably going and one or two others potentially leaving it's probably the right time to get out. Spurs team is actually decent too.

[Midfield_General]

What a transfer window that was. £22m on Sulemana, £18m on Onuachu and £8m on Orsic, to fit the style of Nathan Jones who we sacked eight weeks later.

£48 million pounds.

I’d prefer we keep Paul. Like AA, he has a good record against non-PL defenses. We can’t rely on Stewart staying fit, and need another target man.  I reckon he would be big for us in the championship.

Youd though signing Carrillo for a record fee then sacking the manager who wanted him was as bad as it could be  but this was something else

Last year of his contract I suspect we’ll settle for about £6m which’ll be about a third of what we paid for him

[Nolan]

Can we get better than Onuachu In?

If £5 - 8million more than contributions he could make in the Championship.

If Still gets our players to play in a similar way to his team at Lens. High press lots of balls in the box, isn't Onuachu the best current striker we have for that role?

Add in potential long throws from Quarshie, and is it really worth Onuachu going?

I guess wages might be a factor too. If he’s on a wedge clearing that and bringing in a okay fee may either help us get in somebody Still wants or get us closer to being able to retain one of the handful of players we would actually be keen to keep.

 

Personally if the fee isn’t a complete piss take I’m not bothered. I don’t rate him particularly highly and think Stewart looks a better all round player - with a major caveat of ‘when fit’.

Ings to Wrexham looking likely, imo, no links etc

"It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on."

Surprisingly, not a quote from the guys who gave us Gronbaek and Cornet. It's from Wrexham ahead of using the loan market.

High press. Onuachu. 46 game season.

That was the period that Ankersen was hands on with transfers.  What an absolute c*nt that bloke is.

If we’re just going to hoof it long and lump it into the mixer then maybe, but I’d hope Still has got a bit more about him than that and I very much doubt that’s how we’re looking to play if we’re serious about promotion.

Onuachu can’t press for shit. He’s blowing out of his arse after 30 minutes.

He’s basically just an expensive misfit, and if someone’s willing to buy him then we should just get whatever we can for him, get him off the wage bill and move on.

I reckon he’d be big for whoever he played for TBH.

[Lighthouse]

Onuachu plays the front line like he's towing a grand piano. Saints turning down £5m is a bit like when Newcastle turned down £30m for Andy Carroll. I can only imagine Spors sat in his office, laughing and saying, "holy sh*t they're actually calling back!"

It's €5m and Onuachu is easily worth more than that for his record in the Belgian and Turkish leagues

Simpletons on Twitter have got very excited at a private plane landing at Southampton airport from Girona and immediately have become etect at either Oriol Romeu returning, or Miovski signing - despite the fact, a straightforward Google search shows him on international duty. 😂

It’s a flight from Belgium we need to aware of 👀

He's 30 with only a year left on his contract. I'd be happy to get any kind of fee for him, let alone €5m.

not sure we'll get that from Trabzonspor. They didn't want to spend that last summer. He only has a year left on is deal now and Banza scored 19 goals for them, so is an very good option for them.

Not really. In certain situations at certain imes he'd be useful, no doubt, but he just doesn't have the fitness or mobility for the general play Still likes. Most of the time he'd not be quick enough to be there for the balls into the box, and Stewart would be better for that role. As to what we might get for our £5m, more than we have in the past..

Did we really pay £8m for Orsic as mentioned above? I constantly see posts on here which remind me of our depressing recent past..

 

[Andrew Watson]

I hope the Shankland rumours are unfounded,he is not good enough even on a free transfer. Cannot believe we are not interested in Rudoni or Sainz or Sargent.

In what way shape or form are we not interested in them? Unless you’re on the committee how can anyone on this forum possibly know which players were looking at?

I could tweet in if you like, doesn’t make it any more legit though 😂

Fair enough, but he wouldn’t have played centre-forward if we had injuries.  Maybe his brother helped him out….

Sounds like we are going to be like a pure Pulis/Allardyce kind of team

[goodymatt]

I’d like to think we won’t consider a sale, his price will only go up with another good season and he will be a key player for us.

If we do I hope we fleece Leeds for £25m or so. Seems to be ballpark these days for high performing youngsters in this league.

[goodymatt]

If he wanted out, we might end up having to sell. Hopefully not the case, feels like we are the right level for him at this moment in time.

Charles not really impacting the team after spending £10m on him seemed like an unnecessary risk but this time around he appears to be the player we hoped he would be. Get him straight into the starting 11 and let his asset value continue to grow.

Suspect Man City probably have a hefty sell on fee so the price would have to be a good one for it to be worthwhile.  I don't think it'll be a particularly good move for Leeds either so hopefully we can keep him.

[Saint_lambden]

Another season in the Championship for Charles, as a key figure in the middle of the park alongside Downes, would be the best for his development. 

Hopefully then he can win promotion for us and we can be confident he'll be as ready as he's ever going to be to make the step up to the Premier League. Being based in the north and not far from Manchester may well be a pull though, as well as the assumption that Leeds would probably be able to pay more in wages. Anything less than £30m wouldn't be worth our while, especially on his current trajectory.

Leeds and Sunderland wanted him in January so he obviously has something about him.

Seems a handy little player but at 5ft 5in he doesn't exactly fit the physical profile of players Spors was talking about.  Also had some issues about consistency in the second half of the season.  I guess as cover for Fernandes he might be OK but not sure he looks starting 11 material to me.  All based on nothing more than a YouTube video.
