Disco Stu

We're chasing a goal, playing slow tedious football and Southgate's on the sidelines telling everyone to calm down 😂

6 Months left on his contract so should be a minimal risk fee although I agree he would be a little underwhelming. He seems to share the same weaknesses as Manning.

If it's Moonpig, it could to be a white vinyl block reminicent of the Flybe sponsor. Perhaps more likely, a red block like depicted on the Saints website, which would not be too dissimilar to the Virgin Media shirt sponsor we had. It will look tacky either way.

I don't know how Southgate can get such a talented team playing such passive football.

I think that Leicester design is horrible. I hope ours won't look anything like that.

What role would he play here? Certainly not the Downes role. I'd expect players in the Smallbone and Aribo roles to provide some goals and assists as well as have some athleticism about them (making runs from the midfield and tracking back when the opponent beats the high press we utilise). If Brighton played him deeper, it rather suggests he can't effectively play the advanced roles anymore. Somebody made the argument it doesn't matter if he can only play 60 minutes because we rotate our front 3 anyway but he won't be in our front 3.

Further cons: 30 appearances in all competitions last season with a grand total of 0 goals 1 assist. Likely 2 year contract for a 36 year old that can't finish 90 minutes now Signing on fee and high wages when we're clearly working to a limited budget

Very graceful player with a great strike on him. Good luck for the future Stuey.

I'm starting to get the feeling we'll be starting next season with Mccarthy between the sticks with the intention of giving the first choice position back to Bazunu upon his return to fitness. F***!

That quote concerned me too, especially if we're planning to add Lallana and Ings to that mix.

Is it fair to say Ancelotti is the best manager in the world? I think so.

Annoyed that instead of Lenny Kravitz we got that stupid "can you feel it" rubbish

A medical isn't something you pass or fail. It's a risk assessment. We must have considered that the potential reward was worth the risk.

Whatever he decides to do, I'll forever be grateful.

I'm not sure my translate is working properly???

omg 🤣

I saw another I liked which was similar. Presumably from a Wednesday fan. "Premier League mower for sale. Leeds and Blades not included".

As a coach? Perhaps. As a registered player? No thanks.

This is my feeling at the moment. The slate is wiped clean as far as I'm concerned and I will be judging them on next season, especially on how we recruit this summer. At the moment, words are just words.

I suspect we'll sell naming rights to help fund the project.

I hope ours is an improvement on that architecturally speaking. That's hideous.

What would people think about us signing Kalvin Phillips perhaps on loan especially if we miss out on Downes? I know he struggled at West Ham in a David Moyes system but surely "the Yorkshire Pirlo" would suit a Russell Martin team perfectly. Given our previous dealings with Man City, it seems plausible.

Not only the change of manager, but the Paqueta situation may affect this transfer as well. He was looking likely to leave, and they were probably hoping for £80m to reinvest with. Now they may be forced to look at what they already have.

If Lallana's coming back, it better be as a coach.

You're proposing we go into a premier league season with Shea Charles as Flynn Downes' back up? He's Diallo MK2, he's not a DM.
