It's like where I'm from. People call it 'Shirley' instead of using it's actual name, 'that f*cking sh*thole Shirley'.
I have long thought that Ntcham would end up here by the end of this window. Would not be surprised at all. Would also be fairly happy with him!
We have history there so it could be possible, but it is a job to tell which ones are media/agent crap and which are genuine links.
Some links on the Ntcham rumours: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...ansfer-battle-Celtic-star-Olivier-Ntcham.html https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/18756296.saints-reportedly-set-battle-west-brom-olivier-ntcham/ Not a great amount of detail or ITK info in those articles though. West Brom have just re-signed a CM they had last season, so not sure if they'd be in for Ntcham too. Nothing yet from the usually reliable Saints sources: Blackmore, Sheldon, Peach or Wilson.
Ideally we get 2 (unless they want Smallbone to play a significant amount of minutes) relying on JWP, Romeu and one new signing playing all the games seems risky. A Tom Davies on loan and another would be OK but don’t see why Everton would agree a loan if he was 4th choice
It's gone a bit quiet on Tom Davies and we have been linked to several others since. We could end up with anyone still and it looks like it may go to the wire as per usual..
