What if Perraud get injured for 3 months or so - chuck him in amd hope for the best. Name me a 17 year who has played regularly in the prem since it was formed 30 years ago or so(expect there may be 1 or 2 but they would certainly be exceptions)...............

Cant be relying on a 17 Yr old in the Premier league - simple as that.

This sort of signing needs to be in addition to signings that immediately strengthening the first team not instead of. Otherwise this sort of signing is irrelevant if we get relegated as if the player is any good they will leave anyway.

Not sure of your point here. I have paid SFC over £600 for my season tickets not the third party party, therefore it is SFC who have the responsibility to get me my season ticket and take the flak if they don't. Perhaps the due diligence to chose the tp was not robust enough or purely based around how cheap they were!

Not so fluid that it stopped them collecting the remaining funds for season tickets back in mid July.........

All this debate who was at fault for the goals on Saturday is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Mcarthy is simply not up to it and is not a premiership standard goalkeeper. Forster is slightly better but not much. If we don't sign a keeper the fact is we will have a pair of goalkeepers who will make mistakes as the season continues..............

My sons 9 (and not a particularly big 9 yeat old) and we got him a 11-12.

He's a midfielder.

The Athletic advising fee agreed at £14m plus £1m in add ons

We have clearly raised more in sales than purchases this summer (and got some useless high earners if the wage bill) Disappointed no one asked why the full extent of income from player sales was not being reinvested - the deeper the squad the better for me, last season highlighted how crucial this is.

Why would that be the case, they play in different positions...

Season starts in 6 days

One 'new' senior Pro signed and your suggesting a decent window so far.........

YES

Done alright? 5 goals...............

You suggesting Jack Grealish is worth £60m more than JWP?

Yes

Lighthouse talks a lot of sense - you on the other hand - any reason you wouldn't have a vaccine or is simply for the sake of an argument and to flex your muscles.

So if Salisu or Bednarek get injured long term the options are? Stephens = not good enough - Simeu = zero prem game under his belt. My point being - if Vest leaves we need to replace him to give us the depth in our squad - not sure if you noticed but we struggled with that last season - I don't want the squad to thin out even more in terms of experienced players (in this case a seasoned prem and international player) without them being replaced.

Seems mad to me - surely providing a negative test is more important 🤔 100 people going to St Mary's(all they need to prove is they are double jabbed) who have covid will still make covid spread like wild fire.......... and yes, I know people who have been double jabbed yet have still been pretty ill with covid.

We signed salisu to plug a gap in the squad last season so if Vest goes we need an experienced cb - no doubt Simeu will be good in the future but we can't replace Vest with someone who has zero games in senior football.

Your being sarcastic I presume?

You would have thought we would have established all this in the 6 months or so in order that we didn't waste time on it over summer - pathetic.

He's not OK anywhere- this ain't Sunday league football we're talking about, it's the premier league..........As another poster stated he wasn't good enough to get a game a brum yet some on here think he can do a job in the Prem.

Yeah, that approach worked really well in January when we got rid of both back up full backs only to be left scrambling around at the last minute and failing to bring any in.
