A poster on Saintsweb has suggested we have made an enquiry for a midfielder who used to play here. And that they thought it made sense

No idea who of if this poster is the type to consider wingers as midfielders or forwards (as some have suggested a Redmond return)

Enquiry implies they are not a free agent but I guess you could make an enquiry to the player of agent.

So that’s something to think about.

- Jack Cork (the free transfer)
- Hojbjerg (surely wages are too high)
- JWP (can’t see it - too expensive and West Ham won’t sell us both him and Downes)
- Harrison Reed
- Lavia (loan - again seems unlikely)

There could be others I’ve forgotten

Might make a slightly different discussion to the puns …

Why not Mario Lemina, surely he is exactly what we need?

It’s Morgan, isn’t it?

(I hope it’s a Lavia loan enquiry).
 
Lavia on loan please, regardless of whether we get Downes or not (I notice he’s in for pre-season at West Ham (as you’d expect) but posting photos of it too on Instagram, which I’m not sure you would do if you were imminently leaving).

Rumours that Che might sign that new contract after all

Strongest rumour seemed to indicate he was off to Wolves but they’ve just spent £30m on another striker so might not want him now. Or he might not want to be second choice behind the new £30m guy.

We need a striker regardless if Adams re-signs. If Adams does re-sign then it just means someone like Mara can go out on loan and we have new striker/Adams/Stewart as forward options, presuming we are only playing 2 striker most games

This.
 
I hope Adams does sign. We know he isn't a world beater that will bang in the goals in the PL. But we also know he has a great work rate, is rated by the coaching staff and is a low level prem player that is too good for the championship.

Plus, we would need to replace him if he left, so keeping him would allow us to spend big on one top striker, rather than spread it over two.

If we are definitely getting in a new first choice striker then I’m happy if he re-signs. I just think if he does he will be first choice (similar to the nosies about McCarthy) and we will sign someone like Domina as a developmental type to pad out the forwards.

Stewart is the wildcard in that we don’t have a clue how good he is as we haven’t seen him. He may have been another Billy Sharp to score goals to get us out of the Championship, but just didn’t get the chance because of injury.

I'd be shocked if we didn't add a first team striker. If they decide not to then they are gambling on Stewart making the step up. That would insane given he has just missed over an entire season.

Such key positions that we keep leaving ourselves short at. Striker, DM, GK. Re sign Che? We still need to bring in a first choice striker. Sign Downes? We still need another DM. Re sign McCarthy, we still need a new first choice GK. I will remain hopeful that this is the year that we learn from our mistakes.
