    I wonder if he is now after yesterday?
    Hopefully, Stu has never been a CM

    Although RM will have hopefully to choose 3 from Smallbone, Charlie, Charles and Downes soon
    (Depending on Smallbone Injury status)

    I was but since retirement a few years ago my six pack has turned into a barrel and now I find elasticated waistband trousers a boon to a comfortable life.

    I cannot wait for the window to close so I can finally have some idea of what our team for the season will look like!

    Yeah time to get a few deals sorted now. Downes in today will be excellent as gives him pretty much a full week of training as I imagine he will be starting or at least featuring on Saturday with Smallbone likely out. Hopefully the JWP deal the other way gets sorted today too and Lavia to wherever he goes this week too please, the sooner the better at this point. Boy have those deals dragged and dragged.

    Yet another buy the players jersey, soon after sold! This for me actually crosses a number of sports.
    I have bought the following Saints shirts.
    Romeu, Long, Lambert, Clasie and finally JWP.
    WTF

    Sounds like you've learned the hard way - never, ever have a players name printed on a shirt, because when you do, one of two things will happen; either he'll leave, or he'll start playing absolute dogshit.

    I printed my own name on the back. That was the day I truly lost myself.

    Would you mind buying more shirts for Lyanco, Bree, Onuachu, Mara.

    Likely a few others. Im pretty sure we can all have a whip round and fund this...

    Just from the ITK rumour above, the 12 million Euro price tag is phenomenal.

    If the circa £10m option to buy is true, then you'd imagine that's why we've accepted less for JWP than the rumoured £35-40m that we initially wanted.

    Someone else is saying it is being reported as just a loan with no options? We will have to see once it is announced
