This only works if they can procure the services of a manager who is going to get the best out of them. Fortuitously, Russell Martin is sniffing around his next gig at the moment.

Or buying Kerry Dixon with your Shearer fee.

I get we want to extract maximum value but there is such a thing as playing too hard ball over Armstrong. I for one never want to see him easily knocked off the ball or lashing one from an impossible angle again in a Saints shirt.

He's got a real spring to his dives that Baz simply doesn't have. Baz just sort of flops sideways instead of launching himself sideways like a missile like you'd want. Great extension of the arm into the save as well.

Manning doesn't play at left back.

I can see that. On the team sheet you write *Cameron Archer * do not select this player

On his day, capable of looking like a footballer for whole minutes at a time. Nobody can remember what day that was.

Wait a second. Did MLG have something to do with FM26? I'd never have known.

Bookies favourite now at 2/1. Good to see. Martin has been out of the game for long enough. Was also reading the he's a target for West Brom and Charlton as well.

Stick with today's team. 15/15 easy

He's young. He'll learn. Not to mention we need to create game situations like this if we're to give him a chance to make the step up. Our approach earlier this season made it nearly impossible to bring new players through.

Free with your next Saints striker purchase 😉

He's great with the ball at his feet as well and always busts a gut to give an option of the overlap.

A big shout out to Peretz there as well. He made two saves that he had no right to get to. Makes such a difference. A bit flappy in places but he was there when it counted.

The big question is how do we offload Manning to one of our rivals before the window ends?
