Summer Transfer Window 2023

[Saint Fan CaM]

Nowt about definitive about ABK yet - seemed very close to completing earlier.

Wouldn’t be disappointed if Sully stays - think his head is ok as he’s been training with the seniors I believe.

We're going have a cracking squad with all the moves out falling through. 

Depends how committed these lads will be. Personally I'd prefer a committed Roberts to a sulking Sully, an onboard Wood to a CBA ABK, and to see Aribo, Djenepo, McCarthy & Onuachu anywhere but here and off our wage bill.

Who is going to be first to say "having ABK and Sulemana stay, is like having two new signings"

If they do and are committed to promotion, fuck me, nobody can stop us.

If I remember we were often on the same side in the day, the statue, the fans consortium, Chorleys demos and marches. Can’t make my fucking mind up now. Never had a problem with fans disagreeing with me FWIW. 

Err, sorry Manji, but you’ve lost me?

They still need to showcase themselves though for the January window.

No doubt River Casserole-Dish would cook in the Championship. 🙂

[Saint Matty 76]

Definitely in "get ahead of yourself" territory, but could you imagine? 

Mara and Onuachu to leave. Not sure why we'd need a Tella replacement here either.

Bree the only senior player not mentioned. Maybe a Bednarek late move?

German window shut at 5pm. So that should be that

Do they have "special extensions?"

[Pat from Poole]

Chief Twat Alex Crook has confirmed ABK’s move to Bayern is off.

Just wait to see if a Prem club comes in for him, I guess….

tell you what, having ABK and Sully staying is like having two new signings.

Bound to. Very cheap option for the squad, more so teams in Europe

Seems very harsh on Charles after his good start. I reckon they'll find a way to squeeze him in somehow

Make of that what you will

Surely the painting is by the Polish artist Wojciech Babski?

[niceandfriendly]

ABK will be gutted if his move falls through especially as it seemingly was so close. He’ll have to get over that pretty quick though.

True, but they had last season to do that and did the square root of feck all between them.

Does this allow Genk to use some kind of similar deal to bring back TP?

I am no way ITK…

Can't hurt.

Funny how Genk didn't put him forward when we were looking for a player to swap Onuachu for. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mind blown. Apparently Salah offered £1.5m PER WEEK to join the Saudi club. Insane.

did you see SNN earlier where the transfers are decided by the league and not the club. Basically the Saudi league dictates the fees and wages, no idea how they work out which club they join but that seems a bit mad to me.

I really hope he leaves at 11:59pm tonight, would be a great end to a fascinating window.

Jesus. That's another level of obscene. The thing is, on sport so far, the Saudis have shown that if they want something, they'll buy it. Golf, Boxing, now top footballers. No FFP, and an out of kilter transfer window, makes a mockery of what we and Europe do.

To be fair they showcased not wanting to play for Jones pretty thoroughly. Plus not buying into a world in which case Elyounoussi was first name on the team sheet every week.

Agreed. Any player who hasn't been committed in training or helping the group can be brought in, but only after they've earned it. It's not fair on, and disruptive to, those that have got their heads down.

And that's hoping that any moans and sulks stop, and they aren't bad influences,moaning about not being first choice, getting "injured" or generally stinking the place out.

Martin Semmens.

[maysie]

Whispers it….are we going to end up with too many players?

[Mr Brightside]

Bayern, Dortmund and ?

[23rdSaint]

Bournemouth look to be helping us out by signing Daka and Sinisterra too!

He's probably more attracted to the fact that he can play a football match without worrying someone is breaking into his house.

You would think Man Utd might have come in for a cheeky loan at £3.5m…they’ve been doing lots of loan deals this window.

11.45. 11.50 They make a double offer for Adams and Sulemana and Wilcox says they have just signed for Wolves and Everton.

unless we actually still want €8m for the loan, plus an obligation to buy, as was also mentioned.

[DT]

Manu Utd have re-signed Jonnie Evans, at 35. Shall we pop a bid in for Rickie Lambert? Just give him a few energy gels?

Think this window has turned down to a 7/10 at the the moment, with all the sulkers still on our books, and Che's sulking just getting into overdrive. Bad for morale. Hope Martin doesn't pick them.

Stephens is our captain. With all these CB options, he’ll have to end up playing.

That's like picking Elyounnousi as an attacking midfielder because he's good against the ball.

If ABK and Sully stay here it will be like two players who are already here staying here!!!

The manager has chosen to make Jack Stephens a key member of the group due to his leadership attributes. It’ll be so awkward if he has to backtrack on that…
