Not sure what it was, it did look dildo esque though 😂

Telegraph saying Crystal Palace have made Odsonne Edouard available to loan at very late notice, obviously signing Cornet means we are out of the running

Bang bang!

Wasn't Edouard the alternative option (similar price range at least) when we signed Che? Both turned out to very average.  Sometimes you can't even blame the club...there simply aren't good options available at certain times in certain price brackets 

[Matthew Le God]

Victor Hugo

Cornet undergoing Southampton medical

Latest from Sky Sports News reporters Dharmesh Sheth and Mark McAdam:

Southampton have agreed a deal with West Ham to sign Maxwel Cornet on a season-long loan. 

The versatile left-sided player is undergoing a medical with Saints.

However, Southampton are conscious of their squad size so require players to leave before Friday's 11pm deadline.

[Saint_clark]

[gammon cheeks]

Need to get a few out . Sulemana , Tall Paul,Edozie and Manning must be on the cards .

[Saint_clark]

SSN says Cornet is the third player today to head to Saints? Ramsdale and Cornet the only two announced aren't they, am I being thick or did SSN just let slip that another deal has been done without being announced?

Was it the young lad from America on a sort of trial basis? Buck I think.

I wouldn't. Edouard is pretty poor. Cornet hits the heights of his Burnley days and we mighty create some chances for Archer.

[Patches O Houlihan]

Tino, Buck, Cornet, Ramsdale, Fraser so far

They've been talking about it as if they expect it to be done.

Neither confirmed, plus Buck fro USA on loan for U21 initially until January then decision on transfer.

Tough sell. Hopefully someone else in a  senior role watched him in his Man City youth days.

Good to see we haven't completely given up on spending on youth prospects, but looks like we have gone for those with first team experience this time but from less glamorous clubs than City.

Agree.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Ryan Fraser I’m guessing over the next couple of days depending if he is released or transferred prior to the window closing.

Maxwell Cornet gives us something new.

Begs the question who doesn’t make the Premier League 25 man squad.

Paul Onuachu I’m sure will be sold by the Turkish deadline (later date I believe).

Armel Bella-Kotchap - honestly who knows. I don’t think he’d have played on Wednesday unless he had an imminent transfer. 

[Harry_SFC]

Looking very unlikely we will be signing a striker then given there are no links what so ever. Shame as that would've made it a very very good window indeed. 

[Chez]

Good luck to him.

[northam soul]

With Cornet I make it 30 players in the squad.

Really do need to see some outs as that is far too many.

There will be a lot of unhappy players every week.

[AlexLaw76]

Who will be in the saints ‘bomb squad’?

[Crouchie's Lawyer]

Please bring in a #9 before the end of the window then I think we would have got all areas covered and I think it would be a pretty solid window. Can't rely on the Loch ness Drogba this season. He will be a Brucey Bonus if he a) returns to full fitness and b) is able to perform at Prem level given he has in essence jumped from L1 to the Prem.

 

Without the option for a Prem loan now, and without shifting any of the deadwood it's unlikely to be a purchase at this late stage so would leave the prospect of it being a foreign loan or a player who is currently or will shortly be without a club... Can't see it happening but still holding out hope something comes about late on

[hypochondriac]

I expect the unexpected expense of Ramsdale put paid to a number 9. Maybe something we can address in January.

Yeah, I'm guessing that's it for us other than any outgoings. Very good window for us so let's see how we do.

I am not sure about whether Victor Hugo would bea good influence in the dressing room. Heard he is a bit Miserables

[Hopper]

Genuine question. Do people not consider Archer a 9? He looks like one to me...
