The same West Brom ITK who had all the Fellows to Saints info last summer is saying that they’re in talks with us to sign Cameron Archer for £5m (£3m initial payment, £2m in bonuses) 

I would hope they’d be a few clauses added in there, maybe sell on fees too.

Jamie Vardy is a free agent. Just sayin’

In line with what I’d heard although relatively low fee reflective of the wages Archer is on. Club clearly decided it’s better to dump those with the introduction of SCR.

I see Boro are interested in Phillips who was at Stoke on loan. He was a player I had suggested we should go for.

[Saint Lefty]

I can’t see why we shouldn’t swap D Downes for Ballard. Great deal for Orient.

An excellent and inventive suggestion, with just one tiny flaw. One, we don't have a player called D Downes. 

[ally_uk]

I'd sell Archer, Diaz, Downes 

Larin 

Ross Stewart bring back.

Sign Ballard and play Nicholas Oyekunle

I'll worry about spelling accuracy when he improves his shooting accuracy. Even his first name is misspelt, so I'm not sure it matters much. Either way, I'm not holding my breath.

Can’t be that desperate for cash although depends what the £24m was made up of eg £5m Fulham reaching the ECL.

The former Darlington player John Stone?

He is 73 years old, I think his legs may have gone!

The +£1m incremental increase in bids (if true) are pretty wild.

If he didn't feel valued by the Club before surely he will now, come on Shea sign a new contract and reach the promised l;and with us.

Sorry but I don't get this. The factors you mention have not been ignored on here - in fact they've been widely discussed.

such maybe the case, but many still condemn him when he had little choice after the club failed to

take advantage of the extension clause in his original contract. Not sure he wanted to leave ..or ?

Maybe if we gave him an 'e' it may help...

So to confirm you want to sell Larin who we only signed permanently a matter of weeks ago?!

I watched enough of that Ipswich podcasting bloke during the playoffs to last me all year - I can't see him being a great motivator for Downs

So do we need to stop every transfer until Tonda’s position is clear?

Yes.  Absolutely.  It's the only sensible course of action to take.  Especially given the FA's lack of promptness which could mean the position isn't clear until after the January window closes.  Good plan though.

Dobbin looks a swap for Archer so would be not at all surprised to see Archer go back to the Midlands.

And different websites say different numbers, but most seem to say Cameron Archer is one of the higher paid players in the squad at around £2m per year so that can come off our books too.

THB on 7,500 a week while Azaz on 50,000 a week.

I’m pretty sure THB will be looking for a move ASAP if that is correct?

Wants to sack his agent if after a 20million pound transfer he was on 15k per week! Safe to say he’s more likely on 15-20k per week.
