Come on Leeds, you just sold Struijk on June 30th, so it’s a blank slate in your finances now.

Yorkshiremen, tighter than crabs arses don't thee know lad.

Sounds like the opposite of what Solak said. Doubt that article is based on anything factual.

No news in that article at all. Seems to be speculation and fluff.

Solak isn’t going to say we’re going to sell them off cheap is he 😂

if we get an offer that meets near our valuation he’ll go, it’s as simple as that

The trouble was Saints wanted to keep him but reckoned he needed another loan and Dom was not interested in going out on loan again

Doesn't explain why we wouldn't have resigned him in January if we had the chance to do so.

I saw him play a few times for Orient last season, including a hat-trick at Wimbledon. Take the sentiment out of it, he still looks like a decent League One striker who has found his level. We need to be looking at players that can improve the team and play at a higher level, not ones who could ‘do a job’…

Why did we want to keep him in the summer then ?

I was actually referencing the comments around the financial situation in the article. I agree with your other comments btw.

Then buy him back.

No. We need to move away from soft centred sentimentality. Move on.

I'm not saying that we should buy him back, simply that if the reports that we wanted him still were true then we still have the opportunity now to buy him. If we don't then I question the report that we ever wanted to.

Not too fussed about Ballard leaving and scoring goals for Orient.

If he moved to the Championship though and banged in 15+ goals in a season then I would be more fussed. Till he does that then someone else can take the punt on him in this league.

Dan Neil was expected to join but changed his mind for Rangers.

And we're in talks with others while still trying to shift deadwood.

To a point, although we’ve made two early signings (good moves I think all would agree), and rumoured to be close to signing Neil (so back to the drawing board perhaps on that position) before he went to Rangers

We’ve been linked with others, Mulligan and Noel Fuck-it (or whatever his name is). No idea how close to the mark or tenuous they are.

I’d expect things to ramp up it next couple of weeks. There’s also the WC on, and although we might not be shopping in that market, it will have a knock on effect as to who other clubs might be willing to release.

I'm sure we are but I haven't seen links to that effect.

Transfermarkt has a page dedicated to links to incoming players https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-southampton/geruechte/verein/180#google_vignette and there are five in there, not including the three signings we have already completed.

This page shows all the championship signings https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/transfers/wettbewerb/GB2.  Other than Stoke, most have only brought one or two in so far.
