Matthew Le God

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...

I think he is going for binoculars, rather than bollocks

His role is to break up play and give it to the creative players, not score goals or assist them himself. When he does it is a bonus, but not his main job at all.

IIRC he said in those interviews the opposite and that financially, the club is in a good place not needing to sell key players.

Ramsdale, BBD, Archer, Edozie, Downs, Sugawara Plus, what hard evidence is there for an issue in the finances?

He won't pick us over the Premier League

Euros not £s €30m is £25.7m
