A player we MUST sign but will miss out on due to our LACK of ambition. It’s VERY concerning

We might as well give up any thoughts of promotion now and save the hope

Nah! This is the season that Saints set new all time records and walk the league. Record points, most goals, fewest against COYR

Anyone mentioned Alpine’s run like a ‘B&B’ theory yet ?

He'll look back and wish he'd done something else. He can earn a pile of cash in England and be respected and then do a couple of years in Saudi later, or he can sit around in Saudi being bored shitless and disrespected by me.

Like what? We're talking about a West Ham player, not Lamine Yamal. He's not good enough to sign for a title-competing team like City or Arsenal. The best I could see him doing would be about another seven years at a club like Spurs or Everton and maybe having an outside chance of winning a domestic cup.

Is he the next Messi or something? Genuinely never heard of him

Only if they re-invest it wisely. Their track record of buying expensive flops over recent years is quite something.

Harrison Reed coming back this way would be nice. He'd surely be surplus to requirements there if they sign Charles.

Not at all the player we would need though

We will be done with them by January, so in the run up to the finish they will be taking points off our rivals. They play Boro and wolves near the end too.  Let them run away with it, they'll help us solidify second.

West Ham are not running away with the league 😂 Has nobody watched them recently? Clubs a mess both off the pitch and on it. They aren’t suddenly turning into a winning machine whatever money they make and PR they get.

They'll finish top 2 fairly comfortably IMO

Agreed. 

Wolves are most likely to run away with it. You watch, it'll be Stoke or someone random now.

That’s a far cry from walking the league. I’m happy to revisit this but they scream meltdown potential to me. Ownership is a mess with some serious allegations going on. Fans will be keen to jump on anyone’s back they can. Coach always give the vibe he’s doing everyone a favour despite bang average results. And they even have an ex player with friends in the media who will be waiting in the wings to jump in at the first sign of a bad result or two.

Big reputation, big media focus, big money to be splashed but until they’ve proven they can actually handle that hype and spend money wisely I’m quite happy to oppose them.

Don’t really like Wolves that much either or any of the relegated teams but agree they are the most likely. Pretty sure if I was looking at it neutrally I’d be looking at the form team in the league last season, who have an injustice to motivate them and will have a pretty similar squad to choose from….🫣

I thought he looked petty damn good for West Ham and Holland in the World Cup and that clubs like Liverpool and Barca might fancy him. Perhaps the price put them off.

Who else thought Leicester might run away with it last season? Before it started of course.

[Pamplemousse]

Wolves seem like a bit of a basket case off the field. Player rows behind the scenes, lots of disruption going on. If anyone is going to do a Leicester it'll be them

Really? I'd say Burnley look the most basket case like with their managerial shenanigans and lack of signings. 

[Cuddles]

To be fair, all three are going through some pretty major changes. Burnley have left it late too and would be surprised if they replicate their last four championship seasons quite so easily this time.

[musesaint]

There was me thinking that this is the summer transfer thread. Turns out it’s a discussion about which team is most likely to melt down 😮

Just read about that. Seem strange and could possibly lead to more if they dont get off to a good start

I thought Ipswich would. I expected an Ipswich Leicester one two before a balls was kicked. West Ham should have enough about them to win this time around but I guess they may need to add to their squad. I’m not 100% sold on Nuno but he did amazing with Forest so it’s probably my own bias. 
 

All that being said I think we’ll be in the mix. My only major worry is losing/struggling to replace THB and the Stewart shaped hole up top - may resolve soon!

[Saint NL]

The playoffs also include more teams this season (3rd - 8th) so all the relegated teams have a little extra safety net to get back up.

Decent club for us for him to goto, would play enough there and if he smashes it I hope we get a nice selling on fee for the next big move on from there.,

I know right, and the best part is that we're not in the running for it 🤣😂

Agreed. Seems a sensible move for him. Hopefully we include a good sell on fee as I can see him doing well there and then earning a bigger move in a couple of seasons.

They're paying £8m initially, with a further £12m in potential add-ons.
