I'd be very worried if I was Smith Rowe and he did end up going to Arsenal. And Martinelli. Figured he'd be their no1 in that position. Something about it feels strange. The type of signing Arsenal would do but currently they seem solid in that position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game over as soon as Feb rolled around. He won't go anywhere this window, but he will be shipped off out in loan in January I reckon. We were pushing for him as late as the weekend just gone and by all accounts Broja saw us as a pathway to prem minutes but looks like Chelsea have decided to offer him more gametime I think he’ll feature tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarehamSaintJames Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 It’s all agent talk now. Saints do 95% of stuff behind the scenes. I would talk the “Gakpo linked to three other clubs” as a pinch of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 I cannot for one minute see us getting this guy. I am sure some of it is agent talk too but it seems there are too many clubs interested.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 (edited) I think Saints behind closed doors are really trying for this a lot more than say, maybe Ramos? 🤷🏻♂️ I think SR secretly want to make a statement signing, but equally not be taken for granted. The kitty might be there but they aren’t flaunting their money like some other clubs do. Edited 30 August, 2022 by FarehamSaintJames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 30 August, 2022 Share Posted 30 August, 2022 Hopefully the last few performances don't reduce our eagerness in the transfer market. Pending outgoings (hopefully Bednarek, Stephens, Redmond and Walcott) we still need a striker, winger and CB in my opinion. Also a CM if Romeu is allowed to leave, although that may have hit the skids after Lavia's injury tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, Diallio can't be Diallo AND Lavia. Another player in the squad or outside would need to fill Lavia's position. IMO Romeu will depart and another will come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but for me, Aribo doesn't cover the ground quickly, so if we want three midfielders doing the hard yards he aint the man.
