Reports are suggesting just 1 deal to be done today and it looks like it will be back up at RB.

Really feel like we're short of the mark this year - all the teams around us have improved dramatically this year. Look at stoke and palace's front 6 compared to ours now. Can't believe we won't be bringing in a centre forward to replace Pelle or a strapping CDM to replace big Vic. Romeu has been appalling so far.

Trying to stay positive but fearing we might be in for a bottom half season this time around!

Oh I wouldn't say that. I'm pleased with the in comings. Boufall and holjberg are good acquisitions. Jay Rod is back and has found the net again. Fonte has surpassed all our expectations and we have a new gaffer. I think we will dip our toe in for another defender, it may not happen but a few enquirers me might materialise into a signing if thingy goes to Everton. I'm happy as long as we don't loan out Jay.

After a quite couple of weeks story wise. Seems to be a few reports of linked players coming out the past few days.

Alex McCarthy, GK, From Crystal Palace clearly a place we need to strengthen in depth rather than starting.

Christian Tello, Forward/ Winger, Barcelona not sure if this is just rehashed from earlier in the transfer window as stories were getting a little thin or if we still have genuine interest.

Recio, Midfield, Malaga. one report I have read said we have already bid 6m euros for him.

Ruben Semedo, CB, Sporting. With Gardos injured again we really need back up here. Oh and with the interest in Van Dyke and now reports saying there is interest in Fonte from Russia.

Bastien, Midfield, Anderlect. One for the future maybe?

I don't know how true any of them are I have no insider knowledge simply what I have read the past couple of days.

Apart from that it looks a strong preseason campaign, let's get behind the lads and take it into the new season!

I think sign up McCarthy, semedo and tello along with keeping the players we have and its business done.


2.) 28 Jul 2016 14:59:42
Those 3 would be ideal Saintdan16, we don't need anymore CM's, maybe Bastien for the future, but then I'd say we already have a few for the future in our academy so unsure.


3.) 28 Jul 2016 17:03:32
So business done signing those? What happens if or should I say when Jay and Charlie get injured again, where are the goals coming from, Striker, acm and cb should be very high on the agenda and not just as squad fillers.


4.) 28 Jul 2016 19:46:41
Understand your concerns dsj but no one in the world can predict injuries short or long term. With any contact sport knocks, muscle problems, head injuries etc., are part and parcel of the game. Jay and Charlie are deemed fit for duty and medical staff would be keeping a close eye on them as well as others during the games coming up. I'd be very surprised if at least 2-3 additions are not added before the Watford game. Our new manager apart from that is very pleased with what he has seen so far from the academy to the senior players. Still maintain that another experienced GK would be beneficial. Hojbjerg is already showing his capabilities - early days yet but squad shaping up well. First six games will be very important . But whatever happens let's hope that everybody gets behind them. We are the 12th man. We will march on. COYR's.


5.) 29 Jul 2016 00:27:41
Well dsj20v, I'm hoping the forward player we hopefully sign, like Mane, can play up to or as a wide forward which Tello can.

Both Sadio Mane and Toby Alderweireld having medicals.

1.) EXCELLENT news, Mane and Toby are exciting young players. If they turn out to be as exciting as Tadic (so far the find of the season, very impressed with this player, lallanna who? and Pelle, we are in for a seriously good season. Our positions that needed strengthening have been filled. The board have come good on their promise.

Will they even give us a little treat by adding another unexpected player? We have money and we are now sitting in a commanding position with our squad ready to tackle the PL. Maybe something to good to refuse may come up? Saints go marching on!


2.) How about a swing for the fences type of player. Manchester City marksman Alvaro Negredo :)

or more realistic luxury signing of a former player of our coach John Guidetti from MC.


3.) They are and have been keeping us waiting! if these come off, we may have of had the best transfer window out of any team bar chelsea.

The new kit. Horrible!

BedfordshireSaint

1.) 05 Jul 2016 15:08:19
both are terrible, really gutted we have gone with an american kit maker, liverpool's kits were always terrible but can't remember who their kit maker was, american though.


2.) 05 Jul 2016 15:37:59
The away one is alright. not as bad as the home! Warrior used to make the Liverpool kit, New Balance is their parent business.


3.) 05 Jul 2016 16:07:37
Agree, the kit looks shite!
Looks like a normal red and white striped top with a white bra top over it.
Embarrassing waste of 6 months in the design room!


4.) 05 Jul 2016 17:17:13
All I keep seeing now is the white bra on the home shirt!

I'm sure it'll look fine once the team are splitting defenses and dazzling opposition off the park ;-)

Loving the away kit - SFC Shop take my money!

Is it me or has it all gone a bit quiet again in terms of signings. Apart from the occasional loan deal I'm not hearing much. Have we left it too late? I know the window does not shut until September but it wouldve been nice to see a couple more player before the season starts

it's being said in Spain that RK was 'key' in making that transfer happen. Without the deal isn't likely to happen. Just what i've read.

Lets not piss ed002 off. A couple of years ago he stopped posting cause we refused to believe him and oh look everything he said came true!

Dorset your a delusional being thinking you have inside knowledge when really you know nothing so just shut up and let people do their work.

Do we think Long will get the 7 shirt or will there still be another signing? Still number 5 to fill!

Clearly false information as Taider has been confirmed already!

Why bring Hernandez into this? He has already said he does not want to play for us.

As pointed out we play a 442 diamond whether we like it or not. Also Redmond is being deployed up top with another striker so no point putting him in your midfield.

I think it's clear when fit the defence picks itself


Midfield will be tough selection with so many players and so few positions I'm guessing there's only one dead cert with Hojberg playing, but with so many talented players it's hard to leave anyone out.

Upfront we are limited as we didn't get an out and out striker in the window but I think Redmond will feature heavily. If redmond is the consistant striker, I would play Austin over Long yes he was off the boil the other day but who doesn't have bad days. But being a goal poacher he is likely to get a few rebound goals.


Forster
Cedric, Fonte, VVD, Bertrand
Hojberg
JWP (in for his delivery) Tadic
Boufal
Austin, Redmond


Bench -McCarthy, Gardos, Classie, Davis, Redmond, Rodriguez, Long.

We'd have still probably lost the players as we won't pay the ridiculous wages some clubs offer! It's not about the board 'cashing in' it's about the board wanting to run the club under financial stability! What will happen when your owner gets bored of his toy football club and jumps ship? Well we've been there and got the T-shirt and I think it's pretty safe to say non of the Saints fans want to be running around league 1 again. If KL decides to sell the club, she'll be selling it with some sort of financial security and a stable future. let's not kid around now you got Koeman because we couldn't agree on a contract renewal, we wanted a commitment he didn't want that as he could then leave for a bigger club easier next season. Well enjoy him this season because when Barcelona or Arsenal come up he won't be sticking around!

You think we should send abuse towards our board? I have to ask you Why? Every year players have left for more wages and every year we have improved, banked money and developed another player we can sell for twice the cost the following season (with the exception of red card friendly Wanyama) . In terms of business I'd kinda call this a HUGE success over the past few years, let's not forget only a few years ago we were in league 1, we'd be day dreaming to think we could be making champions league each year right now, but keep developing the way we have an it would become a plausible dream. Take Everton though you spend £20+m on Lukaku and how well have you done since (well this is awkward) . I'd suggest you worry about your team and board and we'll continue to support ours as we see fit :)

WE MARCH ON!

Looks like he sees Redmond as a striker so give him chance to settle there, never know he could just become and Henry for us ;) apparently Puel helped him develop.

I'd like to see Austin start though, with either Long or Redmond. He's an out and out goal poacher, have him face the goals and pick up the scraps. don't care how the goals come as long as the ball crosses the line.

SaintJonah. Football emotions go as far as fans that is about it. As far as the board and owners are concerned, this is business! Plain and simple, you know what if Katrina wants to line her pockets then let her it shows the business is doing well. The boards job at the moment is to prove we are sustainable, the longer we hold a high premier league place the more likely we are to make the next step to the top four!

we don't know the stipulations of the £45million debt, what the repayment agreement was etc. All we apparently know is it is interest free, it could hold a specific trigger point in turn over that when the club hits a certain threshold then repayments will begin. But even then Katrina will have her repayments and continue to take a dividend! that's how SHE will make money, and at the end of the day that is what business is about making money!

Why wouldn't he be keen to come? let's be fair by the time he is 24 he's going to be at a club like Liverpool, Man U or Spurs. Earning in excess of £100,000 a week! that's what Saints do for young players, the lad seemingly has sense and understands what the move here will do for his career.
