Sliding doors moment. Join us, or Atalanta, or even stay at Celtic, and that likely doesn't happen. Poor bloke. I haven't seen the challenge but the guys on TalkSport cannot believe the Crawley lad didn't even get booked. The saving grace for Brighton is that the window is still open... or they hold on to Gilmour who was touted to be sold or loaned out.

We would all take Prowsey back, right?

It goes without saying that I love and respect JWP. He has many excellent qualities... but he's actually quite limited as a footballer, in my opinion. Obviously the stuff he does well (superb passing, dead ball scoring, incredible fitness, winding up Zaha) he does REALLY well and of course he'd do a job for us if he returned. His free kick goals alone would net us points.

But his weaknesses I think are actually amplified here due to how RM wants us to play. JWP isn't great at taking players on, he doesn't travel with the ball especially well and his playstyle inherently slows us. And while I'm of course not blaming him, let's remember that he was ever-present throughout a long period where Saints were the poorest they've been while I've been a supporter (since the early/mid '90s). Plus, in all honesty I don't think he was an especially great captain, either.

Not seen him mentioned but Adebayo impressed me last season at Luton. 10 PL goals in that team isn't bad. Would certainly provide a good focal point too.

Wonder if they are looking at JWP now?

I agree with that but still think for a loan he would provide valuable experience (along with Ramsdale and Lallana) and a bond with the fans, which is important, sometimes more than performances alone. His dead ball contributions would also be handy to link to the striker I hope we are working on now. So personally all for it.

After spending over £25 million on O'Riley, PSR may hinder that. They may get a loan in but likely they'll just keep Gilmour. Sucks for O'Riley though. I'm hoping our lot stay away from injury, particularly Dibling and his invisible shin pads.

Thanks. Yes nasty and it looked uncontrolled. Definitely a "lower league" challenge.

Just imagine him breaking Beckham's record at sms for us and tell me you wouldn't want that.

We usually announce players in the evening when people are home from work. More eyes.

They also need to do all the media bits.

There isn't one? The bid was only accepted last night shortly before the game and he only travelled down this morning to start the medical/contract signing/media duties part of the process?

I’d rather Saints stayed up and we have other priorities away from CM.

Not sure it’s one or the other, as with most transfer windows. Concurrent. Personally in favour.

Odd I thought it was a paperwork issue now seems it’s an injury why off.

New: Armando Broja’s loan move to Ipswich is off. Chance something else develops pre DDay, but likelihood will recover and rehab from foot injury and then revisit options in January.

he was brilliant playing Russball in the first few games before we was sold at the start of last season and was always better at playing as an attacking 8 on the right of a midfield 3 when he first broke through rather than as a 6 in a double pivot playing Ralphball. Although he did a great job for us there under Ralph.

It's a shame what's happened to Broja really, at the start of that 21/22 season with us he had the world at his feet. Looked unplayable, not just domestically but internationally he was scoring for Albania most games.

Got to wonder if his career would have panned out differently had he signed for us, as we tried to do that in the January. He'll probably end up at a top half Championship team in the second half of the season.

Dropped a tin of peas (or alternative vegetable) on his foot.

Awaiting delivery Of Hagrid cosplay outfits to the Megastore to sell before the Brentford game.

Yes but simply calling him a prick because he doesn't want to wear the laces is not on imo. I thought he explained himself rather well. 

Expand  

He didn't explain himself at all, it was a cleverly worded statement that avoided explaining what beliefs it is that prevent him from participating in the show of support.  Had he at least included something like 'I fully support peoples right to equal treatment whatever there sexuality' I might have had more time for him but he didn't he just made a nicely worded statement that basically says I don't believe in supporting the rights of people with a different sexuality.

has Nketiah moved on yet? Surely as the window draws closer, Arsenal will budge - possibly a loan with option...?
