All this talk of Haaland is getting a bit boring. I think they’re a little bit more concerned by having to face not only Harry Kane but Jude Bellingham too.

For me it’s just making the same mistakes again. If we go up and he doesn’t stay because he’s not good enough we have a gaping hole in midfield that we either need to spend more than we realistically can to fill or sign a younger project who needs a year to get up to speed by which point we’re back in the championship anyway. Better to use a year in the championship to get a player ready for the prem as we tried to do with Jander.

But if we go up is he going to be good enough for the Prem? Recent form would suggest no he’s not. We need players that can play next season too if we get there.

If we lose Jander I’d rather try and find another young gem rather than continuing this weird ex player retirement tour we seem to be doing. We need to build for the future.

If only this was known 2 days out and an alternative kick off time proposed. Oh wait….

Mine arrived yesterday. I should have waited I think. The Saints badge is tiny, the joins of the panels is really poor, it’s got a name and number and efl sleeve badges which I didn’t ask for. Only bonus is no sponsor.

They were advised to go 4 days early or fly in and fly out. So they chose 2 days. Obviously.

They should have based the camp in Colorado. Colorado Springs was offered to all countries as an option and nobody took it. That’s 6,000 ft above sea level compared to 7,350 for the Azteca. It’s only an extra hours flight time from Denver to New York than Kansas to New York for example. A missed opportunity.

Spence and Madueke go off and we start looking better. Shock.

Because we are shit and Bayern are not.

Spence just jogging back while we’re getting ripped down the right thanks to the massive gap he left.

Christ, Spence is about as bad as it gets.

It’s like watching Russball. Calamity at the back, keeper beaten at the near post, wingers turning round and going back towards their own goal. Shite, shite and more shite.

They will post the kit reveal on a Thursday and it will be available in store immediately. That’s the way it’s been done for a few years now.

Carvajal?
