The Saints squad will look very different come the end of the window. You see I don't think it is pointless. At the moment we are priced to finish, on average among the bookies, 15th. So this is a whole industry of football watchers, heavily invested financially but without an axe to grind, estimating we will finish 15th. Firstly it's a good objective antidote to those on either extreme of this forum (we're doomed, or top 10 here we come). Secondly I like to see how this moves over the course of the transfer window. In the absence of any actual matches, this is one of the few gauges we have for what sort of a squad we are perceived to have, relative to our competitors. Having a pre-window snapshot of bookies' thinking gives us a base for what happens next. And thirdly; there are some bargains to be had if you want to take on the bookies - some of these clubs will do considerably better than these odds and some considerably worse. (If pushed I'd take a punt on Leicester at 20-1 with Betway right now) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell the effect he had on them in the return game at their place. They will be doing very well to keep hold of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 1 June, 2022 Share Posted 1 June, 2022 (edited) I think its just a fair reflection of the fact the league is strong. Of course the three promoted teams will start as favourites and as unknown quantities but aside from those the only teams we finished above last season are Everton whose squad massively underperformed and Leeds who have already bought a player for £30m this summer. Personally I find it extremely unlikely that the following will be relegated: West Ham, Wolves, Leicester, Newcastle, Villa That leaves: Brighton, Palace and Brentford who all had good seasons and will be confident with further additions that they won't be involved at the bottom. Summary: its entirely fair and IMO we are probably 5th favourites for the drop behind the promoted sides and possibly Brentford. We really need all the promoted teams to struggle because its hard to see any of the others getting less than 35 points. Having Burnley and Huddersfield in there next season would have been much better! Edited 1 June, 2022 by Dusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamsaint Posted 22 July, 2022 Share Posted 22 July, 2022 Just had a look at oddschecker and we are generally 6 th favourite to go down, which surprises me. The bookies are more confident in us than I am at this stage ! Best long shot for the drop looks to be BHA at 8 or 9/1, Surprised to see Wolves at 4 and 5/1 in some places.

They've got a lot of work to do if they are to be competitive in my opinion. A bit of a mish mash of a team. Get money on Marcsh as well, I don't rate him. He irritates me, he's a bit like Ted Lasso. But I don't think he really pulled up any tree's at Leeds either, they literally scraped through and they've lost their 2 best players since.
