£30m and £100k pw? No chance

So... Leicester start with a point against Tottenham despite their fan base being by far the most restless

Pinder Airlines, I reckon

Just seen that it's been spotted online that the same private aircraft which flew from Lisbon to Southampton last night is now flying from Southampton to Strasbourg

Strasbourg expecting Mara to travel to begin his medical tomorrow and hoping to conclude the deal by the end of Wednesday

Leicester 0-1 Spurs - Pedro Porro, 29 mins

I was taking it from 'no final agreement after the medical'. Since this has clearly been briefed from the other end of the deal, if they'd simply pulled the plug due to the medical, I think they would've said so, rather than that they were unable to reach an agreement after finishing the medical tests

Glass half empty: The deal has fallen through and that's demoralising for ABK and for Saints Glass half full: The outcome of all the medical tests can't have been that bad if they were still willing to sign him but just wanted to renegotiate the terms* *depending on what exact the suggested renegotiation was, to make Saints decline

Edit: wrong thread

Gianluca Di Marzio, who reported that Atalanta had given up the other day, now reporting that Brighton are planning to sell Billy Gilmour and buy Matt O'Riley

I remember seeing him drop a comment on the main transfer window thread... quoting it below to save others digging Rare there is a player I can actually comment on but Mateus was a real stand out for Estoril last year. I can’t say I have seen anything of MOR other than the highlights stuff so impossible to compare but Mateus is good. As with anyone from a league at a different level it may be hard to adjust but he is physical, technically good, hard working and great vision. Pretty pleased he will be a saint.

Record in Portugal now running the story too https://x.com/record_portugal/status/1824897812074512658?s=46&t=f0hgNyKSvvOD5qjGLJhsXQ

A Bola in Portugal reporting that we’ve agreed a €19m deal for Sporting midfielder Mateus Fernandes https://x.com/sporting_cpadep/status/1824895441445834952?s=46&t=f0hgNyKSvvOD5qjGLJhsXQ

Giving McCarthy the contract to cover for this season wasn't the mistake. It's the fact he's starting. I guess we are playing the long game with getting the GK we want before the window shuts

Played well there. Tough defeat, would've taken a 1-0 beforehand for sure but with the way the game went, that's grating

Honestly think he's another who needs to just go on loan to a middle of the road team, nothing to play for, and just start every week. Like a Bristol City or a Stoke type side

Downes for me. KWP and Aribo also very, very good so far

Not sure how he decided this was the guy to try and pass to in this situation

Yuki looks class

About time we got better at the dark arts. We'll need it. Fuck them
