OK. For the second time in two days I'm not sure how that changes my post.

A lot of clubs opt for the opposite and go for a veteran as 3rd choice.

It's not about what I want, it's what I think will happen. Ramsdale and Bazunu will be off either sold or on loan so we will need a third keeper. Probably a youngster.

I doubt Bazunu or Ramsdale will be here. Loaned or sold. So that leaves us with two senior team keepers. Probably will need another.

You think we let Jander AND Charles go lol …. That would clearly be madness…. We already have four goalies and you want another one!

Fellows just isn’t going to improve …. definitely Couldnt step up to the premier league and not a top half player in the Championship either imo.

Has the intern trainee analyst now left Saints? I thought he had a full time role?

That was some journey for a meal, hats off to both of you 😎

Fucking spastic 😂

Agree nice to hear perspective and he seemed like a sound fella, but West Ham fans are ALWAYS moaning, they moaned about David Moyes not being good enough for them after delivering a European trophy, their expectations are well out of sync with the reality, that said I thought he over-played the issues they have - i still fancy them for a top two finish.

His book value will be £10m amortisation cost, which means a fee above that minus the City sell on % will be profit on this year's accounts. Hypothetically speaking, a £20m fee would be £10m profit. In a vacuum that would be 2 players signed for £20m on 4 year contracts at (£10m amortisation combined per year). In reality that would need £10m profit each year to fund those 2 players amortisation each year for those 4 years so we wont do that. We can however reinvest the £20m plus received for a decent level of replacement (£10m -£12m over 4 years would be £2.5-3m a year) and book the rest to cover minor outlays. I imagine the Charles fee accounts for the full lost income in parachute payment drops and the THB sale would fund two decent replacements for each at the above £10-12m mark (like Jander, Scienza, stretch to an Azaz, were). Dobbin was probably the £10m the owner can invest each year under the nrw SCR rules. Clearing out the unused players will reduce the wage bill, and let us do more in the future by reducing our losses on salary (BBD, Sugawara, Ramsdale, Baz etc.). If we weren't to sell THB, we are probably waiting to get rid of the hangers on to release the amortisation to replace Charles less riskily.

Coventry offered a 3 year deal to a 33 year old bonkers!

Was perfect example of the delusion on here that other clubs fans are all happy as Larry and have finished all their transfer business and we're the only ones with a problem. TSP = I always like it when you get opposition fans on, it's nice to get a perspective from other clubs so please keep doing it 👍

Sorry, couldn't find a golf thread, so thought I'd take over this one. The estimated odds of this happening are ridiculous. Why is it a news article? It's very obviously not a 1 in 322 billion chance, especially given the article even acknowledges someone else doing it recently too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/articles/cvgyxl34ex0o

Very good point, I think they do that due to the tv cameras being in the Kingsland so hope the crowd looks better for the tv audience who can't see the 6000 empty seats along the perimeter

Big up to you if you travel from Carlisle, quite a journey. Well done to you my friend. I had a really nice meal in Carlisle a couple of years ago.

Plus the Kingsland closed .... the stand with the largest number of ST holders I believe. That tipped the balance for me.

Haven't we all...

Usually a multi choice option for all the games on, no build up or pundits, makes the ticket prices even more mental - 3 home games in a week - carabao corrupt cup where draw is fixed in favour of teams in Europe - £25 ticket plus £2 ticket tax PER ticket £27 - reserve line up , George Long in goal , likely defeat - available to watch on TV All that considered a 10k plus attendance should be applauded

We still owe a chunk of the original transfer fee to Man City (£10M?) so i think we really need to hold out for a decent profit to be able to re-invest it

There is absolutely no way that they will sell him at the last minute without a replacement. Relax.

He'll go in the last hour if Villa drop a real offer. No way we are going to stop him and risk having a very disgruntled player at this sensitive time. No chance. And if anyone is feeling particularly sensitive about this transfer. Its worth remembering that the club have allowed this to happen. I actually feel we've got away with some serious turmoil. Things could have been so much worse.

THB won't be going unless we know we can get a replacement in. 0% chance we don't replace him.

Offering for £25 & £15 to try and entice!
