Was worse than that. 14th. A mere 5 points ahead of us - when we could only muster a mere 5 points in the last 12 games. Gerard did an average job, nothing more. You're right though, the likes of Ings, Buendia, Bailey and Digne have all flattered to deceive for the best part of 120 million

Strange team. Blew us away, went toe to toe with Liverpool, but also lost a batch of games you thought they'd be favourite for.

I’d take Fredericks on a 2 years contract tbh. Be decent backup, quick. Probably got a bit unfortunate that Coufal was so impressive this season. 

Expand  

Only need him for 4 months, seems a pointless signing especially with the WC being in December this year. Tino should be back after that if all goes well.

Do any 29 year old Prem free transfers sign one year deals with new clubs? 

Expand  

Can’t say I know. I can remember Rodwell signed 1 year deal when he joined Sheffield utd. He must have been that sort of age. If he’s not interested in such a deal(or one that only incentivized a second year on game time) then we should move on to a different target. Really no point in signing cover to a longer term contract when we may only need for 6 maths.

Agreed. After one year we can either sell him or if KWP or Tino get big offers and move on we keep him as backup again.

Lots of players leaving is something I heard last night. Also "I thought they were going to offer Long a new contract but not so sure now."

None of this is earth shattering news, just sharing anything I get in the vague hope that it increases my credibility amongst a bunch of people, who outside of a select few, I've never met and never will.

Broja and Livramento didn't need senior English experience to be very effective.

Why do we need a 15 goal striker? Only 5 teams had a 15 goal player in the PL this season!

Why do we need 'two horrible midfielders'?

What do you think we need MLG? I've seen lots of criticism of other people's opinions but you rarely put your own out there...

Maybe, he thinks we will do fine with Che and AA.

I'm imagining a lot of people are going to be unfairly animated about the Tom Lawrence link, but is he really any worse then Djenepo or Redmond? Scored 11 and assisted 5 in Derby's spirited survival fight

He's never had the chance

Expand  

He has actually. Granted he was youngish at the time.

Decent player like I say, but I think it’s telling that no one has come in for him since he let go by Leicester. At 28 and as an attacking midfielder, he has maybe not got too long left at his peak.

But as another poster said, if he’s free and doesn’t cost mad wages, he can’t be much worse than what we’ve got.,I’m just hoping for a lot better than we’ve got, and Tom Lawrence isn’t that IMO.

You never know until he is given the opportunity though, Sire Ricky was a late bloomer, Vardy and Ian Wright came from nowhere. AA may still come good if he sticks around.

There is no point having players, especially at that age, filling up the squad unless they truly offer something to the first team. As you say, I don’t see Tom fulfilling that brief from his career so far.

Yeah I'm all for filling out the squad in certain areas, but another not particularly great AM/Winger is the last of our worries. Pretty much an identical player profile to Elyounoussi/Armstrong too, just at a lower level.

Sh. You can't be realistic/ambitious on here. It's a new golden era with free-spending owners, brilliant tacticians and no sales of key players, donchaknow?

If, and it’s a big if, there’s any truth to these rumours I really don’t see much to be upset about. This Turkish lad would just be a replacement for Willy/Lewis as third choice ‘keeper, hardly golden boots to fill. Anyway, nobody’s ever seen him to know how good he actually is. Antti Niemi, Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford have been relegated so I wouldn’t read much into that. If Fredericks is just cover, that’s hardly a tragedy with Liv being out long term. He’s no worse than Pied, Martina or Targett as FB cover.

It was a misunderstanding. They meant no holds barred in our push to the championship. 

Going to succeed if the decent links are anything to go by. 

All pretty depressing.

I’ve got a Palace supporting mate who really rates Jack Butland.

Think he was messed around by Stoke because he was on big wages, but apparently he has played really well for Palace when called upon.

Cor - looks like by this selection of media linked articles by a range of papers and other outlets that some serious unrest was hitting the fan behind the scenes. TBF to the club they seem to be addressing a lot of our comments since March on a total squad and coaching staff overhaul. The performances on the pitch did really give away how bad it was. Post West Ham cup game and follow up Villa away game it all suddenly changed and performances fell of a cliff. Wonder what the catalyst was?

Amongst the gems there:

Club looking for new players in virtually every position

Colwill and the City youngsters linked on loan again. Could only take on one of them from a single club

10s too similar and along with strikers the area where the club may pay more than before eg over £20m Ings record was my take

Broja unhappy in second half of loan spell

Bednarek and Stephens futures uncertain

Jokes about RH being only one left in SMS

Add that to AA seemingly known to be unsettled and this is going to be a very busy thread soon!

The only thing worse than media speculation.

Is regurgitated media speculation.

'Saints Extra' are too lazy to even link to their source material.

Not sure what I think of this - 

Tottenham place £25m valuation on Harry Winks with home-grown midfielder set to LEAVE north London | Daily Mail Online

1) Doing a deal with Tottenham over a midfielder when we have JWP here makes me feel uneasy

2) £25m is just a stupid amount of money for someone pretty average. £10-15m tops I'd say, pretty uncomfortable spending a huge part of our budget on him.

Expand  

A resounding Foxtrot Oscar to signing Winks or any deal involving his club.

We probably got away with one when we signed KWP although the bastards had already fleeced us by underpaying on Hojberg. (Although the deals were independent of each other - before those with attention to finer detail reminds us)

God I hope this doesn’t happen. Massively overrated player. And clearly part of opening discussions about JWP. Avoid. Awful.

Agreed on all accounts.

If Semmens enters into a handshake with the North London Yobbos (as Rupert called them) he really needs to check if his Rolex is still on his wrist afterwards.
