Think that might have been Ted Bates locking Terry Paine in the office until he signed. Ted also signed Mick Channon on a Sunday (against the rules back then) and changed the date on the form. My recollection is that Lawrie called Keegan initially on the pretext that he could get some parts from Germany for him. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Posted yesterday that I was glad we had seemingly missed out on Sulemana and were now targeting goal scorers (Dembele, Vitinha, Onuachu). We have too many non-scoring wide players and need those who can put it in the back of the net. However, it’s probably a case of Sulemana’s the best we can attract given our position.

hypochondriac Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Place your bets now. My prediction is Sulemana and no one else which is better than where we were yesterday, but probably not enough to avoid relegation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinR Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 From Athletic... Southampton remain in talks to sign Genk striker Paul Onuachu. The Premier League side are aware of the difficulties in completing the deal to sign the 28-year-old, with Genk not wanting to sell, but communication lines remain open between the two sides. No agreement has yet been found, but Southampton are pushing to complete another signing after finalising a move for Stade Rennais forward Kamaldeen Sulemana. Southampton had a bid rejected for Onuachu last week but the striker is keen to move to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also possible that if the genk guy can see we've just signed someone with a half decent reputation it might make him think we might be worth joining. I'm a cup half full kinda guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 31 January, 2023 Share Posted 31 January, 2023 Sulemana (at the very least) was the fastest player at the entire World Cup, which is something this team has been lacking for a good year. Bring in Onuachu as well and I'll believe we have an actual chance of staying up. Still can't see it without a new face up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed..see this a huge risk if he doesn't end up being better than what we have already, although I suspect there'll be a release clause in there somewhere if were relegated.

Unless it's a case of them figuring this is their only time to cash in for a 28 year old. I do really think we'll be done with Sulemana, and there'll be the typical "we tried to bring a striker in" speech alongside it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
