goodymatt Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 18 minutes ago, Lee On Solent Saint said: Not too bothered. Could have turned out to be another Diallo. Sangare work permit led us to go for Diallo. Lamine Camara would have been a much more exciting singing than Diallo IMO. Always a risk they don’t fulfil that potential though and Martin certainly prefers a British core. If we could only have one I’m sure Martin would want O’Riley but it seems unlikely if the Italian press are right about his preferences. Could be back to square one for Saints.

revolution saint Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Personally think Camara was a potential if the Downes deal didn't happen. Camara really isn't a similar player to O'Riley - 1 goal and 4 assists in over 30 games last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarehamSaintJames Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Some of the dramatics on Twitter about us “losing out” on Camera are quite funny. Those same people had probably never heard of him three weeks ago. There are some absolute fannies on social media at the moment when you scroll though the #saintsfc hashtag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) So who's the alternative to Matt O'Reilly in the event we don't get him? Sem Steijn from FC Twente springs to mind scored 17 goals but only 3 assists in the 2023/24 Eredivisie season, listed as both an AM and a CM, caught my eye when I was browsing Transfermarkt for attacking midfielders. Not sure if FC Twente are a ball dominant side though as I don't really watch the Eredivisie. Edited July 29 by V.Johnathan.Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpweySaint Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 6 hours ago, trousers said: If we're basing our decision on whether or not to get in a new centre forward on Stewart's fitness levels between now and the end of the transfer window then I'd be worried about the lack of logic being applied. The harsh reality is that it would appear that we can't rely on Stewart sustaining fitness levels over a short period of time, let alone for the majority of the season. Not forgetting that he's an unknown quantity at PL level, of course. Fair shout. Ideal world we would have other options so could ease him back and not rely on him. At some point our budget may run out though so I’m not sure I see us doing another permanent deal for a potential starting striker. I could be wrong though!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Scott Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 ⚫️🟡 #BVB -Talent Youssoufa Moukoko (19/ 🇩🇪 ) should and wants to leave. The statements from agent Patrick Williams were clear. It is still unclear whether it will be a loan or a permanent sale. This will be discussed in the next few days and weeks - depending on the club and the situation. According to Sky Infos, Girona, Betis Sevilla and Real Sociedad as well as Southampton and Rennes are among those interested in the talented striker. Other clubs could get involved... The young attacker wants to play in the new season - and preferably outside of the Bundesliga. A move to FC St. Pauli is out of the question. @SkySportDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 He could fancy a change up for this year. Dortmund have just bought another striker (who I quite liked - Guirassy) so his chances may be even more limited, they have Fullkrug and Haller too. He defo hasn't at yet hit his hyped potential at Dortmund, which has lead to him being in and out of the side a bit. If he's available on loan (that's all it will be) then there will be a dozen takers. This is what will start to happen now though, 'elite' clubs will have top players somewhat surplus and this is where we need to put the loan market to use - we did it very well last year.
