    One thought today. I’d prefer Aribo to play the free role over Alien Lucy.

    And TBF I don't think anyone was expecting Saints to hold on for 78 mins against Spurs!

    Why would Che spend 3 days in Liverpool negotiating terms? His agent would be doing it. Sounds bollocks to me personally.

    Unbelievable to think that the player on his way out the door won the game for us! Really cant stand the idea of him leaving for rivals but the prospects for the season overall continue to look good for us. Lavia was outstanding and Sali/ABK were solid against some difficult forward players. Djenepo barely a foot wrong all game both def and att. Its going to take time to see Armstrong and Mara creating a partnership as both are quick but light and sometimes you need brute strength that the Likes of Adams can provide. Great performance and 4 points from the opening fixtures so far is a very decent effort. COYS.

    Yep, absolute crap. Agents deal with almost everything these days and we wouldn't let him miss 3 days of training if he was due to play this weekend

    Was just about to post similar comments about Che providing a strong physical presence up front. I've never thought of him as a natural finisher due to him being so one footed, but he's certainly a handful and a great asset.Think Che & Mara might frighten a few defences this season.
    Strange old game today, I must stop moaning at half time.

    Still have our main striker signing to come too, you’d like to believe.

    Apparently Leicester has an xG of 0.26 for all their possession. This was a hallmark of our more successful period under Koeman - restricting the opponents chances / shots on goal

    After today I’m obviously not keen on the idea of us allowing Che to leave. However the performances of our new signings so far provide some confidence in our scouting and recruitment team

    I think any rumours of Che leaving are complete bollocks.

    Can I just say that LTL seems to be getting the plaudits for changing his underpants, Ralph for ditching the 5 at the back, what about me ditching the dishwasher game?

    Well Chilc's, I really hope you are right. Too much noise for this all to be rumours IMO but we would be foolish to sell right now. January, once the new signings are better settled, team are in the top 10, Che is in double figures and the asking price has gone up 10 million, I could deal with that!
