Probably to the Championship!
Or maybe Giant Haystacks.Jose loves em big and strong. shame we are not linked to akinfenwa
Not Doucoure ?
Problem is, as we all know, we are going to be getting free/bargain basement/relegated team players etc etc. We know this so what's the point in discussing anyone else ? Hoejberg, Wilson, Deeney......would we be looking at them with any decent ambitious owners? I think not. We'll wait until the end of the TW and maybe pick up a couple of cheapies. Starting 11 next season is going to include all the usual suspects. Sissoko, Aurier, Sanchez, etc. No good new CDM. No good new DM. No good new R/LB. This is a depressing but realistic scenario. Without the players that we need but aren't going to get, we'll be lucky to see 6th next season. Probably no Harry after that. Maybe no Sonny. Where's it all going to end? The Championship?It's an interesting point.
I don't think it necessarily works though, in a 38 game season you play everyone twice home and away. You can take a snapshot of a calendar year and point out the form in that period but its not really the same thing.
Calum Wilson played 35 games and bagged 7 league goals. Dele bagged 8 in only 25 games and had a pretty bad season by his standards.
Bottom line is, I'm not sure Brooks or Wilson are better than our current fringe players.

If Southampton leave it a year ,then someone else£15m during a pandemic is a lot of money for a club like Southampton to turn their noses up to.
According to Transfermkt, they’ve only ever spent £7m more on top of that figure on any player, so you’re looking at a huge slab for them to be missing out on for what would essentially be a bench warmer
If the chairman is like Jeremy Peace he won't care, he might think Levy is so annoying that it's worth it. Either way, long negotiations are going to fuck us up. He won't get a preseason (as per usual with Levy's antics) he needs all the football he can get.£15m during a pandemic is a lot of money for a club like Southampton to turn their noses up to.

Shit boring park the bus football , relegation cast off transfers , playing in Turkic/Soviet republics , owner who ain't interested , NFL permanent franchise in a few years,
I don't mind KWP, Aarons will be over priced for what he is.What would the reaction be here if KWP and Aarons were our two RBs next year?
ENIC are stupid to do this, we'll never get a manager of Mourinho's pedigree again. If the team is midtable, the whole value of us as a club and business go down. Mourinho will get sacked, then Eddie Howe will be hired and asked to get CL with PEH, Deeney/Wilson and no money to spend. The further away we get from top 4, the more they will have to invest to get us back there.Problem is, as we all know, we are going to be getting free/bargain basement/relegated team players etc etc. We know this so what's the point in discussing anyone else ?

“Count is enough now”.Conte seems to be having some issues with Inter and there are rumors he could jet for Juve. That’d certainly dampen those Skriniar talks I’d imagine.
Coutinho rumors have also returned. Still not sure how that can happen or if I want it to happen. But tbh GLC, Dele, Countinho, Ndombele as our attacking mids is pretty impressive.
He could also be a anti-semeticIf the chairman is like Jeremy Peace he won't care, he might think Levy is so annoying that it's worth it. Either way, long negotiations are going to fuck us up. He won't get a preseason (as per usual with Levy's antics) he needs all the football he can get.
I'm not going to speculate about that.

Meh
Rather that than Aurier but neither are close too good enough.

It certainly has that feeling about it, can't say I'm filled with enthusiasm for both the window or next season.Ryan Nelsen-type targets
Lowballing
No pre-season

"Promising" 15-yr-old from lower league acquired

I agree but Celtic would want quite a bit for him, as a club we are not prepared to pay that so it's a non starter I feel.Wilson being priced between £20-30m apparently.. 28 years old with 2 bad knee injuries and only scored more than 10 in a PL season once.
I think he's a good player, and would offer us a good option from the bench, but for that price I'd honestly us rather go in for Eduoard from Celtic.
22 years old, 49 goals in 82 appearances for Celtic, built for the PL. Before people moan it's only the Scottish league, see Van Dijk, Robertson, Wanyama, Larsson as reference.
