Transfer Rumours Summer 2022 Transfer Window

As you allude to - this will only happen if he gets games. And soon. A championship loan may not have the same results. That said - Kane was on championship loans at a similar age

 

Apparently not. But it is not outside the realm of probability that we will go in for a third bid. 16 to 23m is a pretty big jump though. Who knows how much of that is installment / achievement based though

 

And was useless. Something like 1 goal in 50 games wasnt it

 

Tweet linked on Saintsweb suggests our offer was 11m + 5m in add ons. So with this rumoured improved bid it is not like we are talking 23m down. So wouldn't actually be a club record unless all the add ons were achieved. Given they are presumably appearance, goal and maybe survival based - you'd hope they would be

 

£23 million for a 19 year old? I think this is flannel.

 

Some of the Saintsweb crowd are getting a little carried away - calling for a permanent Delap signing and Broja on loan again. With Armstrong sent out on loan

Obviously it is a fun fantasy land scenario but I don’t see Chelsea loaning him out again. He surely will either stay or go permanently

 

I don’t see us getting either tbh, Mara and another as yet unknown is my prediction. I think Ralph would want 3 and get rid of Armstrong based on how he used him last year , but I can’t see us signing 3 strikers in a single window

 

Looks like we will get Liam Delap after all.

Never had a Saint x! thread locked so quickly, the reverse jinx will mean he is our player by Wednesday.

 

It was just a bit premature I think. We haven't had a bid accepted yet by all accounts.

 

You've seen through my cunning plan...

 

How do you figure? Is this because Tom locked it and we know about his track record with predictions?

 

Imagine if those had been the rules 10 years ago, we’d have never had the legendary Saint Gaston! thread!!

 

Weird decision to close the thread. Surely it would just peter out on its own if it didn't happen?

 

Thing is with a thread like that, every time you log on you see it's grown another 5 pages....


...of ****ing cheese puns.

 

Someone has power now

 

It would be gouda to sign him though.

 

I can’t find any mention of his throw ins for anyone but Stoke online, probably because we never scored from one
Delap was with us 2001-6, Redknapp 2004-5 so I assume our other managers knew he could throw the ball a long way and he’d done it before Arry arrived

It took some effort to find this!
(Would have been easier if Stoke didn’t play in red stripes!)

 

For what it is worth the bbc transfer gossip page reports on the rejection of the 16m offer and not the 30m one that the daily star reported on. Or the 23m one that was rumoured somewhere else

 

I definitely remember his long throws while here. Certainly wasn't utilised as effectively as it was by Pulis though.
