I didn't know you were a Cyberman

Why don't you like the 4231 which has seen us score lots of goals and unbeaten in the league since January? I'd be surprised if it took 4 or 5 games to overtake them. Given they lost today a win for us tomorrow would see us only 1 point off them after 1 game. So it would be a pretty terrible start for it to take 5 games to overtake them.

Having a meeting...

At least wait to see who the replacements are, even if it is late in the window.

I'm going for two.

Sky Sports now running the story...

More to the point it isn't worth arguing if I respond to a post of yours and you think that post is a response to an entirely different post!

You think the Athletic journalists just make things up? Or the Daily Echo? Or the BBC? Sure some journalists do, but you earlier said everything SaintsExtra reports is bullshit. Which is demonstrably nonsense.

I doubt it. I think the club would know that wouldn’t happen. Shifting the players you really dont want normally comes at the end of the window as buying clubs work through their options and/or hope for a bargain price.

SaintsExtra isn't making it up, he does not make things up he just collects stories and circulates them. He is reporting what journalists like David Ornstein of The Athletic have said.

Not literally

The alert scared me so much I knocked over my disposable barbecue into a box of fireworks, and it burned down my shed. Is that what they wanted?

X has a large number of reliable sources on it (plus lots of unreliable ones). SaintsExtra isn't writing or making up the stories; he is reporting what others have said. A story being on X or circulated by SaintsExtra doesn't make it bullshit. Look at each on its own merits! He generally uses established media outlets and journalists rather than complete randoms on X.

This is a transfer news thread and that was transfer news. We didn't know it before the press conference.

We do the same at academy level to clubs below us in the football 'food chain'.

Eckert confirmed in the press conference there is a January recall clause for Nick Oyekunle in his loan to Leyton Orient.

Saints mentioned as expressing an interest in him in this article... https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers/wolves-working-on-deal-for-new-midfielder-8919822

We'd probably need to shift on transfer/loans all of Downs, Brereton Díaz and Archer for another striker to come in.
