Not if the rumour is made up! The rumour is for less than Saints paid for him. What is the incentive for Saints to agree to that? Hard to take such a rumour seriously and that journalist has a track record of bullshit!

We play a system with only one striker. Only one of our strikers can be the regular starter and that'll be Larin. What we need are backups to Larin who pose a threat. Downs and Archer so far don't look like they will be, so we need someone else.

Since then he has had a season in the Championship and is the 1st choice striker for England under 21s

It wasn't. He scored 4 goals for Waterford's 1st team in Ireland in competitive games.

He destroyed our under 18s team a few years ago. We couldn't cope with his strength and speed.

He had had quite a lot of minutes this summer for Man City's 1st team. Scoring 2 goals, one vs a Korean League select team and one vs Inter Milan.

The Daily Mail say we are in talks for Mubama

...or I was joking (So it is in fact you who was taking the other person literally, not me!)

We'd be arrested for indecent exposure

We won 2-0, had 74% possession and 25 shots. The 1st half looked a little rusty but it was the first competitive game and we looked a lot better as the game went on. Hardly a disaster!

Correct 👍

He effectively has 2 years left on his contract, as the club has a one year extension option.

Pre-season is about building fitness. A high quality opponent isn't required. Most pre seasons we only play one or two top league European teams and we did that this summer when we played a Bundesliga team.

We signed him for €500,000. Some of that money will be due this window. Seemingly a bargain at that price!

Traore has left on loan with Le Mans having an option to buy. So Saints aren't keen on keeping him.

We sell out at the bottom of the Premier League, we sell out in the Championship. Supply doesn't meet demand if you are regularly selling out.

Phil Parsons at the fans forum last night... "Your revenue level is tied to your salary level and without the increased revenue you can't drive your salaries into higher levels. We've been working a lot on some real estate projects around the stadium. We're not quite at the point of being able to publicly share those because we're in talks with some major developers. But I can tell you that they will be one of the biggest development projects around any stadium in the UK." Parsons mentioned the reveal may be in 12 to 18 months time. Solak had previously said it is into the hundreds of millions of pounds being spent on this. Not just around the stadium either, a stadium capacity increase is also included.

Aston Villa weren't 14th 😉

Watford selling an important player shortly before we play them...
