I don't see anything wrong with criticizing them because they are not good enough. Dier for me has been a good buy at just 5M, there are many others who haven't been worth their fee.
Don't Southampton have some sort of beef, and unlikely to see to sell to us?
I think Sarr could be an 8. Did okay playing a box to box role for SenegalNever understood the Hojbjerg dislike. I think he's a solid player for a top half PL team, has always put a shift in for us and for £15m has been great. Him and Bentancur had a great partnership, but if we can get good money and better player in to replace him then it should happen.
Having Bissouma, Skipp and Sarr as the 6's is good. Maddison, Bentancur and a new signing for the 8's is needed. Alex Scott would be great. Lavia is another.
The only time we've ever been ruthlessly efficient in a transfer window was summer 2013.
I'd be shocked if this one doesn't pan out the same way.
We should always pull for players to turn their form around and silence all their critics, not just the few numpties on this forum. Good for them. Good for the team. Good for the club, which may be able to find buyers at decent prices for them in the future.The way some of you lot talk about our players you want gone or don't like, honestly you are the pits and deserve nothing!
Makes me want to pull for those same players and turn their form around.

Another onehaha
next player coming in could be done soon in advanced talks selling club don’t want to lose them but the deals great for them . Started talks with Lavia's camp too kids got a lot of interest but spurs may be the right fit .
Seems there are loads of leaks flying around. This one sounds like Tapsoba.
Lavia would be a great prospect to pick up.

Best Bundesliga centre-backs of 2023 so far
Here are the best Bundesliga centre-backs of 2023 so far, according to German football magazine Kicker.bulinews.com
How many do you want to be satisfied?
Sarr is the sort of player that should be getting game time a lot next season.I think Sarr could be an 8. Did okay playing a box to box role for Senegal
Relax, it's ITK from SC.![]()
Pleaaaaaaaaaaase be Tapsoba. Think you're probably right as we've been in talks for a while and it does come across like we're attacking these negotiations quickly (fucking finally).
Hopefull all this Declan Rice nonsense will encourage Levy to find a bit more cash under the mattress for signings.
N+1 where n is how many we have signed so far.
replacing Hojbjerg with Amrabat would be a downgrade so i'd be weary unless we were after a real young top talent
Sarr is the sort of player that should be getting game time a lot next season.
From some of what he showed last season, he could be every bit as good as Caicedo at Brighton.
Agreed regarding Hojberg. With Maddison, if he gets a long term injury, which would be good ol sods law, then we're a bit fucked aren't we...Never understood the Hojbjerg dislike. I think he's a solid player for a top half PL team, has always put a shift in for us and for £15m has been great.
