If we keep Dibling, Harwood-Bellis & Ramsdale great. I we do sell we could get near £100m for all 3.

I think Celtic were probably looking for near £30m. Personally I think this is dead now. We will hopefully loan Ramsdale (as Lis has gone) and that will be about it unless we get a lot of money for Alcaraz / Bella Kothchap. They seemed to have a strategy of waiting for someone to leave (or is leaving) then replace unless it's a small amount. BBD for Che, Archer for Mara, Ronnie for Lyanco, Wood for Duleta Car. Sugawara was brought in as it seemed like KWP was leaving and was low risk because of cost and he's likely to be 1st choice RB atm.

No messing with Lesley !

This isn't a bad watch.

Personally I'm confident we'll stay up. Bournemouth minus Solanke & Brentford maybe minus Toney will both struggle imo. Forest, Ipswich & Leicester are likely to be in the mix and I have a feeling Brighton might struggle next year. With a decent keeper which I presume is inbound if Lus is on his way plus a striker and we'll be ok.

Someone who works in the Saints office is claiming we are finalising a deal for O'Reilly from Celtic for £22m plus add-ons. He appeared early on the BBD deal also so who knows 🙂

I guess you've got to add a "loan fee" in the mix so depends what that will be. I'm sure that will be at least £3m.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5657806/2024/07/25/west-ham-mazraoui-transfer-bayern-munich/ It seems like West Ham are closing in on another full back. KWP options maybe closing down and he'll be staying this season.

I thought Russ publicly committed to McCarthy being his No.1 this season.

Why ? He's only just started his pre-season after returning from the euros.

Good post. Players from other countries seem to play better for their countries than their clubs. It's the other way to round with us.

Agree to a point but I think already we're much better than during our relegation season and our recruitment seems so much better. We are losing deadwood and gaining some useful players already and there's still a fair amount if the window to go to finalise the squad. For one I'm really positive.

I agree with Miovski. Brereton Diaz for not much looks good. Callum Wilson is an interesting one and certainly better than Ings.

Jason Steele from Brighton has been one that's just come to light.

His height is quoted on some sites as being 6' 1" though Wikipedia has him 5' 11".
