we cannot have Baz as a second choice

I expect we will try to sell Bazunu. He has 1 year left on his deal and has been loaned out due to being not good enough twice now, so I imagine he's keen for a fresh start.

He deserves his own song for when he signs on the dotted line.

All joking aside, their sense of entitlement as a club as a whole and wanting to be judge and jury over the entire future of our club, is on a scale I never even knew existed.

One down. Now let's get the rest of the ducks in a row. 

[SylvianSylvian]

If we can get Peretz over the line, this is massive. If he signs then hopefully Larin, Stewart, etc could follow. In Tonda we trust!

That's a long way of writing "They're a whiny bunch of twats"

With the changes to how clubs can spend and manage losses, the fact we only have one more parachute payment, P&Os announcement, and the departure of several high earners, I do wonder whether Dragan might be prepared to financially gamble in an all or nothing approach to promotion.

Whilst we might not be able to stop some departures, might the incentives to stay and chase promotion be dangled in front of key players. After all, the financial risk of not going up is so significant that failure next season will mean massive cutbacks and a potentially prolonged period in tier two.

The alternative of gambling that bit extra to get promotion might actually be pretty good odds. If I’m right, this summer could be another rollercoaster.

I think it’s worth reflecting on just how much Tonda improved so many of the squad. THB, Downes, Manning, Archer looked so re-energised and started playing to their potential…. Could Tonda get a tune out of some of our unwanted loanees… I wouldn’t put it past him. There’s more to the likes of Diaz and Downs than we’ve seen….

There really isn’t. He’s an amazing manager but he can’t perform miracles. 
 

Would be absolutely unreal if Peretz signs. Hope it’s true 

[SylvianSylvian]

True, but no doubt these players would look better under Tonda than Still or Martin. Diaz has banged in goals for Chile…. Yet he looked like a Sunday league pub player at Saints….

I can't see a world in which THB stays. We will have to sell at least two key players I'd imagine. THB and Jander would be my guesses. Also Charles if he doesn't want to sign a new deal. I think Scienza might stay though. 

I’m sure he’d be open to a move, but who’s stumping up the £25m+ we’d want for him? We paid £20m for him so would want a return and he’s already been found out in the Prem once, though that can be partly mitigated by the Russell Martin experiment. He does get found out pace-wise at times. Not sure any of the promoted sides will be spending that much on CBs? 

[St Chalet]

Peretz, like Boruc turned around a season for us. If he signs then we are good to go. 

Am sure we will lose two out of THB, Leo, Charles and Jander to pay some bills, but we’ve recruited well (sans Downs) and have other options. 
 

Bree and Larin deals and Stewart option would be next priority. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Top news about Peretz and indeed P&O this evening - hope we get Peretz over the line quickly. Feels like there’s an intent in the players, so maybe Dragan will use investment funds to keep our better players with us rather than sell…who knows?
