Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 1 - 10 June, 16 June - 1 September

Doubt we'd need a left back. We still have Charlie Taylor here.

 

If he stays.

 

I just listened to Adam and Jo, and they want Saints to get in a striker.
Who could we realistically get in on loan, or buy? Yes it would be great to sign someone like Sargent, but unless we offer silly money, Norwich won't sell.

 

And we’d need at least one out surely ? And it’s not going to be Downs or Stewart

 

I can't see us signing a striker. I actually don't think we need to.

 

When I went onto the Middlesbrough forum to read about their feelings about Azaz there was some comments about doing a straight swap for Archer

 

What potentially might be going down in the loan market amongst the PL clubs in some positions we might be looking at.

Tyrique George - LW - Chelsea
Alfie Gilchrist - RB - Chelsea
Omari Kellyman - AM - Chelsea
Harry Amass - LB - Man Utd
Reiss Nelson - LW - Arsenal
Jeremy Sarmiento - LW - Brighton
Roman Faivre - RW - Bournemouth
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi - RW - Crystal Palace
Largie Ramazani - LW - Leeds
Sam Greenwood - AM - Leeds

 

Hand. Bite. Off.

 

You know he’d bag a hat trick against us on Sept 27 then.

 

Yeah he’d score a hatful if he was played in the right way. I think a lot of people thought he’d be a key player for us this season, doesn’t look like it on what we’ve seen so far. Same as Armstrong he doesn’t seem to suit how Still is playing currently

 

These two answers give me hope that we will address the lack of creativity and not just with one signing:

Are you happy with the four strikers that you have got?
WS: Yeah, it's more a question of how we get the ball to them and how we create our chances, because for the moment we're crossing the ball a lot and getting the ball into the box, but it's not quite spot on yet, and we need to mix that up as well.

We need to be able to play through and have that thread passed that we're missing for the moment.

What do you want to sign this summer?
WS: I think we still need a couple of things. I think a number 10 has been a question since the start. But we also need a bit more creativity from the outside with one or a few wingers that can have one opportunity and stick it in the back of the net, which is what we're working towards.
