Summer Transfer Window 2023

[dankiz15]

Following Saints for the past 48 years does give you a sense of perspective. Being a Cancerian, I wear my heart on my sleeve so to say, it's been an emotional ride is somewhat of an understatement. Witnessing wins like the 3-2 at home to Liverpool at the Dell, when Nick Holmes scored at the start of the second half, before Lawrie had even come out (He was walking down the touchline, he then turned round and went back in lol) was a highlight. It epitomised what I used to love about the club, Great spirit, and always able to give it a good go against the big boys. That ethos has been lost along the way recently and relegation was something we needed in my opinion to reset properly. Re the window, JWP has been a stalwart for us, but as has been mooted, he's late 20's and deserves to stay in PL playing alongside better players. Without Oriel, he was also way less effective for us last season and on many occasions slowed play down and nullified any attacking threat we had (just my opinion). Alongside the creative best in a decent side, his ability to hustle is second to none and his set piece ability world class. I just don't think he is the lynchpin we need esp in championship. I also think Lavia will go, too good not to, but with Charles added and Charley hopefully staying, I like the younger more dynamic feel moving forward. Have a good feeling we are moving in the right direction. Going back to JWP, I hope he gets his move and it will at least give me some interest in watching MOTD on a Saturday night. He will always be part of the Saints family

 I think he’ll go, seems he’s been trying to get away for the last couple of windows. I’d be happy for him to stay, but if he’s not I hope it gets done quickly so we can move on in good time, as with all of the others who may not be required or wish to move on.

I think a fresh start is for the best for all of us. If we can get a couple of attackers in it will hopefully give us a new direction rather than sticking with the players who have been at best inconsistent. I'd probably sell Mara too.

I’ve never known a striker hit a ball so cleanly and yet miss the target or aim at the keeper so often.

I think that part of the problem.  He tries to break the back of the net.

I’ve also never seen a striker miss so many inside the 6 yard box.

He never makes near post runs.

He’s good without the ball though.

He's good as a partner to a better striker. Him and Ings together were excellent. As the main #9 he's not good enough.

Shane Long was a better partner for Ings.

Both were largely substandard. Ings had a good season once, that's about as much as you can say, few of his goals were reliant on either Adams or Long.

[Dusic]

Personally am suprised how comfortable people would be with losing our best striker. Yes he isn't perfect but I feel confident he would score 20 in the Championship, we don't have another player that applies to. It would cost us more to replace him with a player of an equal/lower standard and he is one of the players with "experience" that is so clamoured for on here.

Will be very interesting to see the squad that flies to Turkey, as assume Charles and Manning will go for team bonding if not playing time.

If the likes of Tella, Diallo, Onuachu etc (who have been training) don't travel then its surely a sign that they aren't in the plans for the season.

We have way too many players so need to start getting some out as pointless giving many pre season minutes to players who won't be here in a month's time.

Agree. Also looks like he’s best suited to how RM wants to play. 

[SNSUN]

I just noticed Moussa Dembele is out of contract. We've been linked with him before. I'd like to think we're still interested but our relegation has probably closed that door.

[ally_uk]

^ Would be an amazing signing but couldn't see him coming to the Championship.

You see that a lot with other players, the amount of shots that are blasted straight at the keeper. Lineker was in no way a naturally talented footballer but he had pace and he was clever, I remember him saying he would always aim for the corners.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Regardless of whether Che, Armstrong, Mara or Tall Paul move on, we’re down two decent strikers which need recruiting, as otherwise I think there will be a goal drought this coming season. It’s a huge persisting problem that needs sorting out for us to get anywhere near a chance of promotion.

The only striker I would put any hope in for goals is Tella and it’s extremely unclear whether he’s going to be staying. I was a little disappointed not to see him get some playing time against Benfica given he’s been training with squad.

Tella played on the wing for Burnley, it would be a mistake to bring him back and immediately hand him a different role than the one he was so successful in.

Not sure I understand what you mean as I didn’t suggest he would have a different role - just that as an attacking forward he has recent goal scoring form. The issue of course is whether his goal scoring at Burnley was dependent on either his team mates ability to provide assists or the playing system(s) employed or both. I fear that the system we’ve seen employed by Saints will hinder him scoring as it has done so many other players over the last three years, with the exception of the last Liverpool game when something clicked for some reason.

If you meant forward then fair enough.

Had a trawl round a few fan sites this morning and the consensus is that Saints are 'greatly overpricing' their best players.  Bloody great, hope this stoicism continues right down to the slamming of the window.

Yeah right, how dare we not roll over and have our bellies tickled for half what our players are worth.

I'm pretty comfortable with the club's strat so far. Price our players high, anyone comes in and buys some will relieve the pressure to sell others. We can lower prices at the end of the window if required, but one big sale (lavia) and shifting out most of the deadwood (which we want to do) sets us up nicely for the season - extra sales beyond that will be to facilitate player trading (and we've already signed 4 players, albeit for minimal spend). There is also the simple fact that other sides will get desperate going into August and will overpay - particularly lower prem sides.

Still possible we start the season with a midfield and wingers including JWP, Sulemana, Alcaraz, Tella alongside Charles - with the likes of Stu Armstrong (starting if fit), Edozie, Smallbone, Doyle, etc to provide depth. Armstrong, Mara, and ballard up front. Its really not a bad side for the championship as it is, and we may well strengthen the attack. Just need to sort out the central defence primarily - but Tino, Bree, Perruad, Manning, Larios is already a solid set of wing backs.

Baz will be fine in goal despite what the naysayers say, so its CB's to sort. And cheerio to the likes of Tall Paul (£10M), Che (£15M), KWP (£15M), Salisu (£10-15M), Lavia (50M), and possibly Macca (will pay) as a minimum.

This championship malarkey is going to be a cakewalk 😎

People just parrot what they've read in the press. Clubs publicly lowballing us is just part of a concerted strategy on their part to drive the price down. The bigger clubs with more connections to the press have more leverage here as well, sadly.

Based on what? That another transfer may have fallen through and Burnley may want him? If we value him at £20M+ and Burnley want him, they will have to stump up the cash. Simple as. Otherwise he stays.

We could see Liverpool ramping up the Lavia chase now, they previously missed the signing of Tchoumeni due to their delay Im not convinced they’ll let a further top talent in RL slip through their grasp.. its up to us to push for the best possible fee

Che Adams ultimately is our best striker, I wouldn’t be comfortable losing him unless we brought in two more.

Realistically, I don’t think that will happen so he’ll like be here this season and then elsewhere next season.

In all honesty the last couple of summers I could not have given less of a shit who stays, who goes, who is linked with you, what rumour is in the newspaper.
I just don’t care for any of that anymore.

Ultimately, come September 1st or whatever it is this season, as long as we have a squad to compete for the top end of the Championship I’ll be happy.

Even the social media side has ruined the transfer window because gone are the days when you’d have a rumour on maybe over two accounts; now you have multiple accounts copying each other posting the same bullshit with little or no substance.

That is a symptom of what has become known as "the post truth era", if anything gets repeated enough times it becomes fact,  unfortunately its very prevalent in he MSM, opinions being reputed as news.
