Lots of clubs getting business down early
Good to see we will be hanging around until the end of the window before doing anything so we can have another season with an unprepared squad
Conor Coady off to Leicester
Seems whoever is in charge at saints will never learn to get those types in we need asap |  | | |  |

I am not too concerned at this stage. There haven't been that many deals to date, and with a number of our players expected to attract big fees, the clubs interested will also want to tie up their transfers as well. For example, the Connor Code deal to Leicester, co-incided with Madison to Spurs.
The Declan Rice move (good business by West Ham), may also see some movement on JWP (whether it be West Ham or other).
Saints have always been very quiet on transfer news, which is one of the reasons I don't take all the players being speculated to come in/or leave seriously until they are done.
I agree, it would be better to get players in early, but it is more important to get the right players.
Trying to rectify transfer issues in Jan window, never works. | | | |

I am concerned.
We have a squad which is largely unsuitable for Rustyball.
We have in recent years signed players who are essentially plodders who will get stuck in and run about a lot. Befitting our status as a struggling Prem club. |  |

How can you not be concerned?
Our bloated squad is mainly full of players who won't be here in Sept as they want away (and will get their wish) and the ones we are desperately trying to shift. |  |

Leicester are in a better position than Saints in some ways because of the number of players that were released at the end of their contracts. Also in James Madison and Harvey Barnes they have two players who are definitely being sold and will address a significant part of the financial shortfall. Saints have six centre backs none of whom have definite buyers for reasonable money despite agent speculation so we aren't really in a position to bid for Connor Cody. Whilst I think we will get our money back on ABK, we could easily be stuck with the others. | | | |

If Rusty isn’t careful, he will be going before any of them do.
I think this is going to be a really big ask; our squad is totally incompatible with the way he wants to play, and Ankersen should have realised this. | |

I'm pretty sure that before we buy anyone, we will need to sell first.
This will give us some actual cash to spend, but also free up some space on the wage bill.
Leicester have just received some funds from the Maddison sale, so they are first in line. We don't have players quite that desirable, so we will have to wait it out. |  |

Quite agree with you saint22. Leicester have also bid for Piroe.

Saints continue to leave everything to last minute and by this time, the best players have been signed up by other clubs. Leicester will have a team full of experienced players and proven goal scorers. We at least have lots of academy directors to analyse data and a guy who knows how to make hoovers. They were brought in early. [Post edited 29 Jun 2023 18:39]

Orsic of to Turkey 4M apparently, one of the great Saints myths in the making. | | | |

Totally agree with these concerns but we are definitely a bit stuck until we get players out of the door. Our unbalanced, bloated squad almost makes it impossible to know where to strengthen if sales don't happen as expected. Apart from at Left Back of course
At least if no one is going to Spurs, we might get exit deals done before the last minute of the transfer window
Lets hope SR don't buy more players for positions where we are overloaded again or that don't fit into Rusty's strategy | | | |

Why can’t the club tell its fans what’s going on with Orsic? |  | | |

Why would or should they?
The club is first and foremost a commercial business.
You do not tell your competitors about the value you place on your assets because that gives them an advantage.
And Orsic?
Obviously was acquired but did not fit the plans of any of the managers. That might be fitness, quality, inability to play the system, etc.
We now have a new manager and he may see Orsic as part of his plans.
If so, he may get into a battle with the owners etc who clearly want to move Orsic on and see some money. | | | |

Why should they? How arrogant is that FFS.
We are the ones who buy tickets, season tickets, pay for travel and over the top prices for shit beer and food plus programmes at St. Marys.
That's why. | | | |

What exactly would you like the club to say, something along the lines of
Well we brought this useless pup for 8m, amongst a litter of useless pups btw, who's claim to fame was playing 5 seasons in the Croatian league (which is weak as p1ss) and we got hoodwinked in to buying him (by some useless scout, who hopefully not employed anymore) when Stevie Wonder would have seen he was never in a million years been up to PL level.
If we'd have said that, we'd not have been able to thieve 4m back from some Turkish mob, so happy days we didn't lose the full 8m, better than nothing eh?
Anyone who thinks he's any good, tell us why no decent clubs came in for him?, and why he's going to play in another p1ss poor league?
Probably be fine there, find his level, money may not be so good, but should get a game now and then |  | | |

Leicester have signed Conor Coady and Harry Winks on three-year deals. Two good signings those. |  |

I don’t think Coady would have taken kindly to the requirement for intricate passing triangles in his own 6-yard box. | |

It makes no sense to sell Livramento to Newcastle for 15 million. By the time you've paid Chelsea there will be very little profit. Simply in financial terms it makes sense to keep him with a view to developing a 30-40 million player to be sold by a newly promoted club! | | | |

I think we would have to sell him for £30 million to end up with £15 million from the deal.
It sounds a pretty complicated arrangement we have with Chelsea on this.
Just hope that Tino is grounded enough not to dig his heels in if we stick to our guns. It will get difficult if other players are sold relatively cheaply. | |
