He scored 11 goals per season in the last two seasons he played for us, so not too shabby for a midfielder not known for his attacking prowess* (* Yes, most of those were probably set pieces, and yes, he was 4 - 5 years younger)

Fret ye not... Dragan promised us a team that'll get us excited and up off our seats and I, for one, trust him to deliver on his promise 👍🏻

Decent 👍🏻

Prefer this one...

Good job you didn't....

Every other post on so-shul mee-ja asking if anyone's got some spare solar eclipse glasses... How many f***ing years have people had to plan for this? Thick twats.

Given it was a solemn promise from Dragan, they don't have any choice but to build a team of that nature and stature, do they? Unless the thinking was / is: "the team that ended last year was exciting and got fans out of their seats, ergo, as long as we keep the majority of those players then Dragan's promise is fulfilled"...?

Unlike Alfie to go down the contrarian click-bait path...

2nd June 2026 Dragan Solak: "I promise you that we'll bring to you at the end of the summer the team that will take you out of your seats and excitement will run high at St Mary's." Assume we're not at that point yet...? How many more signings still required, and at what level, for Dragan's "promise" to become reality?

Yeah, a reasonable hunch 👍🏻

We're also missing a 2nd keeper, assuming Ramsdale and Bazunu are off (surely Long isn't going to be our primary back up keeper?)
