Oh well he would have been a nice fit here. Hate they are getting him, but we just move on to other targets.

Joking aside about our new rivals, Southampton are one of realistically half a dozen teams we will be in direct competition with in trying to stay up.
I think it'll be Forest, Southampton, Everton, Leeds, Bournemouth, Fulham and maybe even Brentford and Villa.

Not convinced by Gerrard at Villa. Last 11 games last season, they only won 2.

Not sure the full signing of Coutinho will help them either. He was there last season on loan.

Maybe Palace too. I think Villa will do ok.

What I think we can establish from this Southampton deal is Aribo wasn’t close to our primary target at the position. No shot we don’t activate a 10mil clause if we don’t have our eyes on someone better

Hasn’t Daniel Taylor hinted that he wouldn’t be surprised if we broke our new transfer record at LEAST once ?

Yeah and he’s mentioned multiple times about us being willing to pay the fees for players. I think CDM and CAM could be very substantial fees

So do I.

Reality is we've got a competent defence and attack in place already, but big gaping hole is this mentioned positions, and for CDM having a partnership which isn't good enough or don't complement each other might well mean we lose control of the game such that our good attack becomes irrelevant and our good defence is just under too much pressure over the course of the game and can't shut out the opposition.

Really wouldn't be surprised if we dropped near £50m on two players in those positions. Get those two players right and it could be the difference between relegation and top half.

100% agree with you. I think the club are showing as much ambition and intent than we could have dreamed of. EM is certainly standing by his word to go for it. I think there’s gonna be a “surprise “ Stella signing to come yet🤞

I have to say that is fantastic business for them. Could be the bargain of the summer.
I agree and would have liked him to sign for us if in honest, however it might mean one less club competing for MGW at least!
