Harsh on Djenepo, he just turned 23.

Gerald Lopez to takeover Bordeaux. Another one bites the dust...

This and exactly what I said 2 weeks ago. But please, arrange those deals before he leaves, as we will be paying a premium otherwise

Agreed, everytime he has come on he hasn t done anything worthwhile. Get rid

Just stick Lemina in there, he is perfectly capable to do a job there and we can focus on spending money on other priority positions. A striker is a big priority for me with Ings leaving this summer or next, would be good to find someone who can get used to our style of play straightaway this summer

You can t do that. If you buy him irrespective of if he goes out on loan, he needs to respect the criteria set based on number of games he has played in top league. Unfortunately these new brexit rules prevents us of taking a punt on a unknown player with high potential unless he already plays regularly. Had brexit rules been in place back then, we wouldn t have been able to sign Bednarek for example, or Schneiderlin or youngsters like Valery or Jankewitz

He won t get a work permit

Would love Lookman.

All our goalkeeping recruits (Forster, McCarthy, Gunn) have been on basis of recommendation from Dave Watson. Hopefully we don’t involve him in our future decision making to select one.

I did tell you not to jump the gun didn t I?

Sheldon knows fuck all

Yes they did but they didn’t say it was very close did they? They just said we were amongst the interested clubs. Wouldn’t count out Leeds just yet. Plus Bielsa has a hell of a reputation in France

Thing we should calm down a bit on this one. The one who broke the story as being very close is a journalist from le 10 Sport which is as crappiest a source as you can get in France. Not saying it isn t happening but I wouldn t get our hopes up just yet.

Fully agree with you letting him go on a free and needing to replace him and spending a transfer will leave us in a shit financially. I prefer to sell him this summer, and get a replacement who at least we will have contracted for the next few years.

Because it is one of the only ways of overhauling the whole squad. with our current transfer budget we are restricting our pool of available players where with JWP money we could massively upgrade it. I m tired of standing still, if we even wait next summer to get rid of our deadwood, how are replacing them if we have no money to spend on transfers? Selling Ings might not be a good idea as we might not get much for him so no point if it is only 15-20 M

Origi? 🤣🤣🤣 the man is fucking shit and incapable of being a main man for a club. Glad you re not our head scout. I can confirm there are plenty of players in europe who can do that and are not that expensive. We just need to get our scouting right which we haven t since 2016

If we get 60-70m i seriously would present that option and leave Ralph make a decision. getting that sort of money would allow us to dip in a depreciated market and bring in the right sort of players to mould Ralph s style. I would tell Villa yes, if JWP wants to go there then great and before making the deal official, I would use the 70m loan and bring it 2-3 players before we are quoted horrific prices as clubs would know we have money to spend. There are so many gems out there available for littler money, we just have to get our scouting right so let s at least make a push for it. Whilst we are at it, I would sell Vestergaard too, and bring in a leader at center back to get this defense organized. Sell 2 keepers out of 3. Get a new number one in who can at least influence our matches in a good way. And if Ings doesn t want to sign sell him too. It ll be a make or break season but at least gives the opportunity of starting afresh and stop going sideways as we have been in the last 4-5 years.

There are much better keepers with their feet in Serie A and La Liga. Our goalkeeping scouts better be top notch this time as we can t afford another goalkeeping failed signing. We know Ralph likes keepers with good distribution so let s at least try to get one in ffs

That s just the position in the football food chain

I m sounding like a broken record but Saints never learn. Sell when his stock is high. They should have done the same thing last season with Forster. Moi’s stock has never been higher than over the last 3 seasons so why try him out when we all know deep down he won t make it? Besides after this season he will only have one year left on his deal making him worth nothing if he is shit and next to nothing even if he shines as we won t get a huge transfer fee for him with 12 months left. So what s the point? None whatsoever, get what you can for him and move on.

Faivre is a huge prospect but out of our price range it seems.

What a load of tosh. Semedo is clearly an attacking full back. https://www.google.fr/amp/s/barcelonaanalysis.com/analysis/player-analysis/nelson-semedo-201920-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics/amp

Not if Ings has his eye set on a club a la Hojbjerg when that was the case between Everton and Spurs

Buy an experienced one instead, we need a leader in there.

What is bleak is that there are no credible interested parties.
