Saint IQ

Summary- Without the ball, Really good With the ball, awful Subs did well

Official. It’s over between Marcelo Gallardo and River Plate. #RiverPlate Gallardo has announced his decision to leave the club as he won’t sign a new contract.

6 points or bust for me and they should come in the first 2. I appreciate what Ralph has done but it is time for a change unless he goes on a miraculous run.

Head-A tense draw or narrow loss Heart- A 4-1 thrashing with the Kids on fire.

Premier league and lots of Money, those would be the reasons. Obviously

Have seen his stats this season so far? He's assisted and scored nearly every game and regular gets MOTM.....

Think they have become a thing since KDB and Salah left Chelsea and turned out to be world class players within a few years. Big clubs farming talent realised they have to do this as an insurance policy.

Great window for a club like saints. Unfortunately a "really" good striker is what we needed but also impossible to get one who is young for under £40/50m in this market.

Now Tyler Dibling has come home, do we even need to sign anyone? We will be signing the city youngsters and at least 1 first team signing. Possibly 2, 3 is unlikely. Might not even be official announcements until mid-night.

We have signed at least one player the medical was done last night. Unless it was a failed medical or it has been hijacked last minute..

Should definitely have at least one signing coming in that I doubt is a loan. Won't be officially confirmed and signed today though.

Bullet dodged IMO

I am back in tomorrow so will try and post any imminent arrivals on here...

I think this early on there is only one team you would bet on to go down and only 5 teams you'd expect have a chance of top 4. Will I be right with those predictions after only 3 or 4 matches played? Yes

Hope we are prioritising a creator and or a striker over fullback cover. I would rather us spend money on other areas than full back cover as I've just remembered JWP is a pretty decent option at RB so at present we have KWP Tino JWP as right back options Djenepo Peraud KWP as left back options. Then in the disastrous circumstance 4/5 of them are injured you do still have Valery who can cover or the academy option.

I voted Lavia too although ABK equally deserving. Interested to see how Lavia and Romeu play together if they get a chance.

If he is really good enough for Chelsea he will maybe play a handful of games by the time he is 20/21 whereas here those handful of games could come this season or next then in the the squad every week by 18. I'd know what I'd rather choose if I was good enough

Nothing will trump Vardy IMO. Wonder what would have happened had we signed him

Thanks for that. We still definitely need to invest in a striker who can bang in at least 10 + goals a season then I think we are nearly there 👍

I would guess the Rangers one from reports might be someone else though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Another one coming on board the train tomorrow evening or over the weekend.

A signing should be announced in a few hours, at least by this evening. As always I don't know who it is. There were a few delays on this one think they thought it might have been completed end of last week.

Something's happened, dunno if just a delay or another team have tapped them up. 99% sure we won't be signing anyone today unless it's very late in the evening.

A signing will be confirmed tomorrow evening or Saturday morning 😉 Probably Lavia

I only knew due to work (not for the club). So I'll never know who it is for sure, could have called the 2 last week. If they sign last week of August I'm on holiday sorry! In for the last few days though 😁
