Hard to believe the Dons would offer and Saints would accept an offer in May. I dont think its him but if he is a target surely far more likely to drag on all summer with us saying he's worth £100k and Saints claiming it should be £500k Link to comment

mutant Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 He’s just finished speaking about lazy recruitment. No way is that his signing that’s going to excite fans. And he will know it. 1 Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Talk of mcrorie at the back was nonsense. Straight away JG put him cm and gave him a new deal. Way he’s talking Barron will be CAM when possible. I like the idea of that with two physical players behind him. Link to comment

Dunne is 29. That's my theory and i'm sticking to it ? In fairness, Goodwin is going to say every signing will excite the fans isn't he? He's not going to say our next signing is a carthorse and the fans will hate it ? Link to comment

Been linked a wee while now so could be him. Highly thought of and has a few suitors but no doubt because Gillingham aren't great folk will cry he's not VVD. That would be my guess. Unfortunately I think it’ll be Charles Dunne. Really hope it isn’t, because if that is a player that JG says “will excite the fans” then it doesn’t bode well for next season. Link to comment

How would a left sided centre half from abroad excite the fans? Unless it's Alaba or from a top European side we are going to know fuck all about them. Like Ylber. Link to comment

This player simply has to be be of good pedigree or he’s already putting himself under even more pressure. It’s hard to imagine what kind of CB would excite the fans in all honesty. 1 Link to comment

Doesn't fit the quoted age range and was injured half the season so I dont see it. It's more likely to be another Hernandez/Ramadani that comes in with 10-20 international caps and costing a transfer fee. 1 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 So was it 11 or 12 players he said he told in February that they would not be part of his long term plans? That's pretty wild... and potentially wasnt fully necessary at that point. So definitely Ojo, McGeouch, Considine, Ruth, Devlin, JET and Brown. But thats only 7. Possibly Jenks and Montgomery but that was hardly earth shattering news delivery when they play for Brighton and Celtic. Possibly 7,8 or 9. So certainly a few still at the club in the squad of 17.

He'd be a huge step backward in terms of where we want to be. Plus his Old Man's a Hun arsehole. Think we've already met our quota on that one. Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Mini DMd me an exclusive - feel I need to share it - we will sign a left sided cb end of this week or start of next. Appreciate his on the pulse info as always ? 1 Link to comment
