Summer Transfer Window 2023

[Bad Wolf]

Lyanco to Celtic doing the rounds apparently!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Starting to feel like previous windows x10. I honestly don’t know how Martin can continue to be confident we’ll end up with a stronger squad…right now it still looks like a dogs breakfast without the tasty bits.

[SaintsFan86]

Che won't be going there.

Didn't someone on here say that he wasn't keen on Everton anyway and only really wanted to go to Bournemouth because he didn't want to leave the area?

Don't know mate.

[FarehamSaintJames]

ITK chief is on it

[Dark Munster]

And be prepared to be underwhelmed by Adams replacement as well. 
Get rid of our 2 main goal threats and replace them with mediocrity. All for less than 2 Tall Paul fees. 

[Ekelund]

Sinclair Armstrong pls. Ipswich last week and last 45. Exactly what we need. Pace and power, something we don’t have.

Tella was really pushing for that move, no way would he have stayed 🙄

Piroe scores on his Leeds debut.

He was pushing to move? Didn't someone say he was in tears over it?

The only thing I’d be more surprised about is it he doesn’t score in both games against us

It'll be him or his partner Duk that we sign as Che's replacement. 

They've just had a bid accepted for a striker base din Belgium.

A good opportunity for the bed wetters to get behind the team for the next few hours and then have your meltdown afterwards.

Russell Martin will be asked all these questions post-match anyway, so those whining may as well shut the f*** up until then. 👍🏻😀

Thank you, 2-1 win.

Those of you that wish to continue whining about transfer policy may continue now 😂

Miovski, lad at work is an Aberdeen fan and raves about him (perspective important here). I've watched nothing other than highlight reels and liked both but Miovski is on the score sheet all the time.

Thierry Small might need to go out on loan sharpish - plenty of beef from a challenge by him on Miovski in St Mirren v Aberdeen last season.

Well his name certainly works for the song, 

.........Miovski, he really hates Pompey.

Purely from this, some very deft finishes with his left foot. Looks pretty promising albeit SPL level.

https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/bojan-miovski-braced-southampton-transfer-27600787

Says RM wanted him at Swansea too.

Also...listen to the end of this interview. RM very clear on Tell and Adams situations. He sounds pretty comfortable with it all.

Could be a Mowbray connection there?

We don’t sell Adams

we panic buy one of the lads from Scotland for well over his worth 

Called it. It’s almost like we know what’s happening……

Looks a very good player with some height and power too. Yes please!

[farawaysaint]

Bit ticked off with SR now, we have the cash to strengthen the squad and nothing of substance is being done to strengthen the problem areas. I appreciate we still have some good players for the Championship but this is playing it a bit loose for my liking.

Decent movement and a good finisher. Looks to have good header placement as well. Hard to gauge how he'd get on in the championship at a higher tempo and level of physicality.

Important to remember that he remains absolute "Pony" for some of our fanbase 🙄.

Its tough watching him playing for another side and doing well, but i hope he gets his dream England call up for the euros, not least because i think his set pieces would actually be invaluable in a tournament.

Agree, let's see how much they are going to spend on reinforcements this week.

What’s how much got to do with it? 

[EBS1980]

Martin on Tella

"It was made in agreement (decision to train separately yesterday) as Nathan wanted to do some work despite the move probably going ahead this weekend, otherwise he would have had a few days without doing anything.

"I am really disappointed Nathan probably goes. He wanted to leave, not in a bad way, but it has been rumbling on all summer and sometimes in football the nice guys don’t get what they want.

"We will reinvest and replace him. Ryan Fraser is already in the building but he is not a replacement for Nathan, we will also add to the group in that position

"That’s football. It’s a good deal for someone who came in at 18 years old, paid nothing for him, and he’s done brilliantly last season and got the move. We will replace and move forward."

No point trying to keep players who don’t want to be here, assume he thinks he’s better than Championship now after a successful season at Burnley.

Long before I knew about us signing Mowbray it was often mentioned that Saints often had scouts out Aberdeen.

Good signs, hopefully the replacement is as impressive as Martin’s chat

We need to start spending some money on proven championship players. Get Gyokeres in to play up front and stick Armstrong in Tellas place.

Fraser not being the replacement is good news. Not that he's bad, just means we get another player and therefore will be stronger.
