two good premier league sides in that list!

 

Don't know if already posted but Alan Nixon is saying we are confident of signing Mayuka

simon thorpe ‏@dankiz1
@reluctantnicko are saints as confident with mayuka as they were with Ramirez? Sounds v good

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @dankiz1 Yes. Just need a centre half now ... maybe a left back

Tom C ‏@tcumner1986
@reluctantnicko @dankiz1 reports QPR seem confident of his signature...Amy truth? Do you rate him Al?

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @tcumner1986 @dankiz1 QPR were in for him. Saints in stronger now. Never seen him play. But I know someone who has ... and that's the story

Charlie Messenger ‏@Zoggers87
@reluctantnicko @dankiz1 So Mayuka wont go to QPR?

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @Zoggers87 @dankiz1 U think u r getting him ...

 

Yeesh...getting both Ramirez and Mayuka would give us an insanely talented and versatile attacking group. Scoring 90 goals and surrendering 100 is good enough for survival, right?

 

Just 100?

 

Set a new record, but at a level where it's theoretically possible that it could be broken. Optimism!

 

Technically, it's good enough to win the league.

 

Yeah concede 95 goals in the next game and we're sorted

 

those two wont give us much width if playing with lambert in a 433 as they will tend to drift to the middle, but the interchange and passing between the 3 should be a delight, we are going to play like City up front and with a dodgy defence as well. Its good that we are going for younger players U24 anyway.least it should be entertaining

 

Christ the amount of players we've been linked to this summer

 

It would have been shorter to show a list of players who we haven't been linked with this summer...

 

So, if reports are true, Ramirez and Mayuka are on the way in, add Rodriguez to that and that's three new attacking options. Four if you consider Lee is on his way back too. Anyone think there could be a departure or two? And who would be the ones to go?

 

De Ridder might go out on loan perhaps

 

Hopefully De Ridder. Maybe Puncheon.

 

I sort of doubt anyone else will leave this week.

 

Forgot we even had De Ridder. Puncheon was the first to spring to mind.

 

Had to laugh at that south_agent tweeting loads of stuff he predicted ages ago. What is he trying to prove I wonder? And how does this even slightly justify his claims?

Even if Dembele does go to spurs (far from certain) he clearly was not in talks with them 103 days ago or that makes the Ramirez saga look like popping to the shops for a Cornetto.

What a muppet.

 

I believe that we currently have a 21 man squad. Unless we make 5 or more signings we won't need to kick anyone out, and I don't think that many transfers is likely. Players like Chaplow, De Ridder, etc will probably go on loan to Championship clubs a couple of months into the season.

 

Can't see Puncheon going - he's clearly in Adkins thoughts
