The Fat Controller

I wonder if Les Reed negotiated a sell on clause with Liverpool for Lovren?

If you look on the bottom of this page it says it exclusively available from The Saints Shop today with no mention of pre-ordering. I have tweeted them asking if this is the actual case

Redmond is never going to get better - Player of the year in a poor performing team

Redmond now is blocking a starting place for others when they are fit. He has become too complacent on being picked - yeah he may be popular within the squad but honestly all he does is go backwards. For a player of his so say ability I find it hard to understand why he hasn’t been moved on. The answer to that is he has no end product to his game. They can show us all the videos of him hitting “Worldys” down the training ground , but these count for nothing if you don’t turn up on match day. Sims, Djenepo, & Boufal Should all be ahead of him when fit and available - Moussa especially

I’ve just read that Ronald Koeman and several others including Dennis Bergkamp and a Billionaire Businessman are looking to buy a club at a knockdown price. After the bad feeling when he left - how would the fans react if they were to try to take us over? Hypothetical at the moment but in reality if such an approach were to come in?? At least he knows how the club is run

Money talks with Bowen - send Long back there on loan might might seal it Adams needs to go on loan and play regular and start scoring

Predictions in Joachim Maehle Jarod Bowen New CB Outs Che Adams (loan) or exchange deal for Ollie Watkins at Brentford vestergaard (loan)

I live quite near to Hungerford, where Austin lives He was apparently heard telling people in the pub recently that he’s going nowhere, and will sit out the final year of the contract. “ I’m on £70k a week -so what” Can see it from both sides but he would now struggle to start at most championship clubs

No thanks to Welbeck always injured and on well on £100k a week

One for consideration Perhaps Ralph is Going to give Harrison Reed his chance after 2 pretty decent seasons in the Championship Sell One of the Midfielders to finance 2 decent CB’s

Always struggled with fitness Barely ever plays more than 70 mins 31 is too old for our philosophy Good luck at Bompey

I don’t get why grown overweight adults wear replica shirts It’s not as though your going to get a game for the team on a Saturday. The replica shirt market is aimed at younger fans, and us older generation have had our turn. Most younger fans will like the new kits, and most of the rest who are showing that they so say don’t like the home kit, will end up buying it in the end.

I think a fit Danny Ings is integral to the clubs plans Also think we will have to buy him as per the loan agreement from Liverpool

My predictions for this summer 2 Centre backs we need to spend big on Lewis Dunk Pontus Jannson Harry Reed will replace Romeu Che Adams in to replace Austin Boufal to come back Norwegian right back in to support Valery Lots of others by the wayside out the door

One of the cruise ship companies Cunard or MSC but with Saints it would probably end up with Red Funnell

Mitrovic and Sessignon wouldn’t be a bad start

Forster should be in the squad Everyone blames him on poor form but they way we’ve defended since Koeman left any keeper would have struggled. In all honesty I don’t have any confidence in McArthy, and would like Gunn in goal with FF as back up. McCarthy has cost us more points this year than Forster did under Puel

Carrillo and Boufal are probably on big bucks to which the club is still probably paying a large chunk of

18 months left & £5+ million still in wages to pick up (£68k pw) No wonder he needs to be let go

The wage bill must be huge 25 man squad averaging £40k p/w Then all the other management /staff etc

I can see Leeds or Villa taking Austin on loan That could sweeten the deal for the Leeds lad coming to us. I can’t see Austin playing much under Ralph

No the point is they aren’t good enough for PL

Simms, Reed, McQueen, & Gallagher are not what we need We need experienced pro’s to sign I can’t understand why everyone thinks these lads are going to do something special. Other than the exception of Harry Reed, the rest are probably at best championship standard and best sold off as they are offering the club anything better at 21-24 years old and that is their level.
