I'm probably in a small minority here, but Scienza staying on would actually be one of the least surprising player outcomes this summer to me... Call it naivety and/or wishful thinking, but I sense that he has developed an emotional bond to the club and fans over the last season and I get a feeling that, after an unusual career path, he's finally found his 'spiritual home' with us. Yes, I know this "soft son-in-law sentimentality pony" won't get me on Ducky's Christmas card list this year, nor that of the other Saintsweb intelligentsia gang, but it's what I feel and I'm damn well going to express it on this here esteemed internet football forum... So there! Ner ner ner ner ner 🤪

A fair response, and Im sure you get lots of negative stuff that crosses the boundaries. It just irks that the whole narrative even from our own people has followed the cheat theme. Its ok to admit the gross mistake the club did but to not put anything up in defence is also wrong. Watch the Simon Jordan piece where he came and gave some fantastic points at the same time as criticising what we did. It was a masterful display. I dont watch your stuff but have just seen/heard you on the wider media and so have taken my stance from there I will tune into one of your shows and see how they are.

Daniel will claw back those deducted 4 points plus more on his own.

It will be THB and Charles for certain. And we'll take any offer north of £20-25M for Scienza. Those 3 sales should bring in circa £60M. Jander has a long time left on his contract, is young, and looks to have a very high ceiling. We should be digging our heels in with him and pushing for £30M+ for any sale imho. We need to make up a £15M drop in parachute payments. Larin and Peretz (if we sign them both) will be £10M. So we're looking at replacing THB and Charles with a pot of circa £20-30M, plus a bit of profit. If Jander goes then we'll be Spendy McSpendy.

Let's hope Russboy lands a job in the summer 🙂

If we used that logic last season then half the squad would have been sold in January. Also yoi only have to finish 8th now to be in the play offs . 3/4 of the division will think they’ll still have a chance a Christmas.

Not sure but I heard the same.

The Echo article is an absolute non story - we have an agreed fee in place as part of the loan, and if we have the money to sign him then ofc we'll be interested.... but so will many other clubs, and is he going to pick saints over them? There is a long way to go in any Peretz transfer move imho. Hope i'm wrong on that and its announced this week, but think its an easy thing to get hyped up over (given the rubbish of the past few weeks).

He’s entering his peak years, I do think there will be PL interest. I saw Leeds linked the other day.

Not if 'Keith Harris' has anything to say about it. He'll want to make sure we're stuck with Bazunu as an extra punishmant.

28 in September, but for a dribbling style winger that is past peak. (Salah excepted)

Yes, probably wishful thinking on THB on reflection. We can also shift Ramsdale though if we can get this deal done, which hopefully will negate 1 or 2 others.

Unless we need the money there will be pressure from the club for players to honour their existing contracts even at the expense of future losses in transfer fees. If we then get promoted the balance sheet will sort itself out. We would know by Christmas of the likelihood of promotion so players more likely to be allowed to leave in the January window than now.

From the comments : "Is the BBC that issues this ode to Bielsa the same BBC that invites all and sundry to kick the Southampton manager every other day?"

The key will be THB.. If he stays most of ythe others will as well.

😬 Really 🤮

I bet it's sign Peretz, Larin, extend Bree and Ross then hit is worth increased season ticket prices. Great start if it happens.

He`s a piece of shit

Bit of a premature thing to say, I'm not going to be allowing myself to think that till we actually sell the bloke.

Well we signed someone for £10m as our first choice in the premier league after a season on loan in league one so maybe he could even be first choice 😂

That's a long way of writing twats...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r2kxrvlgpo "The US Senate has voted to advance a stalled immigration spending bill after Republicans removed $1bn (£745m) in funding for President Donald Trump's new White House ballroom." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj6pldg39deo "The US House of Representatives passed a measure that seeks to halt President Donald Trump from taking further military action in Iran. The 215-208 vote was successful after four Republicans joined Democrats in a public show of disapproval of the war, which began in February. "

It’s a lot lower down the pyramid but Ollie Wright had a decent loan in League 2 at Accrington - I’ve not seen him play but I wonder if that suggests he has enough about him to be part of the group here? Ideally with an experienced second choice.

Not sure where it'll take us. What's done is done, and putting any further details into the public domain isn't likely to help the club, and depending on the information, it may well hinder.

BBC just trolling now. Lol. 'inside the mind of Bielsa' The 70-year-old is one of the most respected and influential coaches in the game, and that reputation has been earned from his borderline obsessive dedication to preparation for every single match he oversees. No mention of Leeds' own, original, Spygate, but instead: "It's all about setting high standards that will stay with the club long after he has gone." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5ye2m00y5ro
