Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Brighton sign Rutter for £40m. They’re stacked for forwards now and seem to be giving it a right go this year whilst others have FFP issues. Must’ve spent nearly £250m? Wonder if they’ll still want O’Riley too?

What the hell do I know?! Welcome Cameron and the second coming of Big Les… 😂

So, as things stand the “1 or 2 players before the weekend” feels a little unlikely unless we’re keeping something very under the radar given Russ’s remarks about Fraser and O’Riley today?

He probably got injured during the medical!

Or they'd hope he could do a decent job for 36 games against the rest of the league but they'd have 2 games where we had Macca in goal against them to boost their own goal difference?

No good on crosses

Me and the boy have been walking round the house singing this: BBD, easy as 1, 2, 3; he hates Pompey; BBD; 1, 2, 3 score for Saints FC! It’s crap but catchy 😅

Flying for his medical today I thought I read somewhere?

Celtic prepping for O'Riley's departure maybe?

We flew on a budget airline and the club were concerned that the lack of space meant he might get a knee injury banging them on the seat in front.

No idea if this chap is ITK but are we about to spend again in East London

I’ll get this cleared up. Steele swims at a local pool where my son is the lifeguard - I’ll get my son to ask if Steele thinks he’s Prem quality or not so we can get the verdict straight from the horse’s mouth. If the chat goes well, I’ll ask my son to get him to cover his particular strengths and weaknesses too. 👍

What’s happened to the Nathan Wood signing? I thought this one was done and dusted and due to be announced too?

I agree. 😉

Easy win for Fury. No chance of Che connecting with a moving object.

No ideas if this chap is well connected at West Ham or not?

Lee Barnard? Although I think he was cleared of assault in the end?

Annoyingly, I think I read somewhere the Rotherham goalie has already joined Stoke?

I've had this silly feeling since Christmas that Ross Stewart was going to come back to the side in the playoffs and be the catalyst to take us up. Looking at what he brought coming off the bench yesterday: a bit of presence, a bit of height and nearly scoring by actually taking a shot early, I'm really hopeful there's some basis to that 'feeling'. If nothing else, we can start whipping higher balls into the box, when he's on the pitch, with at least some expectation he might get his head onto them, which isn't as true with Che or Arma. We need to start well and try to be confident (but slightly less risky around our own box). There's no point being in the playoffs unless you go for it; nothing worse than going out without a whimper.

Maybe Russ could throw in a few red herrings as well but slyly wink at the camera when he does, so those 'in the know' know what to believe and what not to believe. Think of it as an extension to the circle of trust.

Silly us. It was in the song all along. Always believe in Aribo. Lovely. Please can we all go and celebrate in front of Jay Stansfield?

That’s what you get with Holgate when you bring him in - consistency.

We might be in the Championship now but we’re still clearly a big time club 🤣

So, if Charly plays an inadequate number of games, the bigger the loan fee? Or, he does really well and we could get £40m-£45m? I'll be disappointed to see him go but it could be a financially sound deal for us:

Very much out of the blue, the move for Charly. I wonder if there will be any more last minute ins and outs before the window shuts? If Che or Mara goes too, I assume we would want them replaced unless Ross Stewart has a miracle recovery?
