Transfer Rumours Summer 2022 Transfer Window

The talk seemed to be of terminating his contract. So maybe that will happen post window?

 

Doubt it as he wouldn't be able to join another club until January now.

 

Just a sea of “CONFIRMED:” posts on the front page.

What a time to be alive

 

I wonder what numbers they will all take? I assume none will be in the squad for saturday as it will be too soon. If none are then the bench might be a bit light due to no Bednarek, Valery, Stephens and Romeu

 

and three of those make up the first nine names on the team-sheet atm.

 

Free agents can join a club outside the window I believe. So presumably if we terminate, he can go wherever.

 

DCC 6 I reckon
No idea about the others.

 

Nope, they have to be free agents when the window closes.

 

I don't believe so if the contract is terminated outside of a transfer window.

 

In terms of strikers, we are left with Che and Mara, with Adarma and Ballard in emergencies. If we’re going to continue with the 4-2-3-1 which worked so well against Chelsea, we only need to play one out-and-out striker at a time, as the likes of Adarma, Aribo, Moi Ely, Lavia, and of course JWP will contribute goals from midfield. Then of course we have the likes of Edozie & co. coming in as well, so I think we’ll be fine for goals for the time being.

 

Ahh, fair enough.

 

No reason why AMN and the two City lads can't make the bench. Just need to be registered by midday tomorrow. DCC will need a work permit so will take longer.

 

We aren' t the only side short of strikers. Maybe we will go with a false 9 at some point. Happened briefly in the Monaco friendly

Edit: And worth considering that our plan seemed to be to sign Gakpo - so not a central striker anyway

 

I was going to ask if there are any free agent strikers that Saints should look at?

 

No. The only one of note is Diego Costa. Someone we will be going no way near

 

Have many teams actually had truly "bad" windows? Leicester and Bournemouth (who seem to be completely skint). Aston Villa's maybe moves to "meh" or slightly below par but only due to the unlucky injury to Carlos.

 

Excited to see how our squad shapes up now!

Who will be preferred CB pairing?

Who will play LB?

where/how does AMN fit in?

Edozie and Aribo could combine to create chaos …. Then add Mara in too!

 

THIS IS THE NEW SOUTHAMPTON FOOTBALL CLUB.

 

So then. I’ll say it one time.

It’s a little different than under Gao.
