Very happy with getting Rodon in, great bit of business and 10 mil is fantastic.
Who would we all like to see as CB pairing, i'd personally like Wober to come back, i did rate him but we also have Struijk.
Think amps better in MF, so those 3 to keep it competitive?
Think we did well with 30 mil for Gray, hard to turn down that cash, good luck to him ( guess we still have Harry gray ) .
As for remaining window, imo i'd try sell Meslier ( new keeper needed)
Sell Firpo next and bring in new LB and RB, could we tempt Lamptey from Brighton?
Happily also sell kamara ( bring in skipp) , gnoto ( bring clarke) and bamford ( bring in proper #9) .
Then only that creative midfielder player and we loooking good.

My starters would be Struijk and Rodon. Struijk and Greaves from Hull are the best LCBs in the league imo, so Wober would need to do a lot to displace Strujk imo. Wober gives us the option as cover at CB and LB, or, when needed, reverting to a back 3 with wing backs (Firpo and Lamptey would be great for that) .
Don't think Gnonto and Clarke would be a like for like swap. They play on different wings these days.
But all in all, wouldn't be against most of that, Melb.

Yep I’m happy with Rodon and Strujk
Put Ampadu back in CM.

Sell Gnonto and gives James game time.
Sell Summerville and try someone else on the wing.
Amps and gruev midfield
Rodon and firpo RB and LB respectively. Struijk defensive mid.

Some good calls in there Melbourne - no arguments here.

I don’t understand how this Rodon signing has happened. We had a Baz Guarantee that it was impossible he’d sign for us.
02 Jul 2024 20:50:58
Baz guarantee about as reliable as a politicians promise.

Brockers re 'Baz Super Guarantee '
I was 98.7 % certain a prem club, specifically Saints, would be interested in JR ( the defender, not the Texas Oil Baron ☺)
. and bid for him.
Saints definitely need ( much) better CDs than they currently have. uber surprised they did not bid for JR.
Time will soon tell if Saints (and Rodon for that matter) have any regrets.

Harwood-Bellis is better than Rodon imo, Baz. Bella-Kotchap is back this season, too. Was one of their stand out players in the EPL.
02 Jul 2024 23:59:35
Harwood Bellis and Co conceded a shed load of goals in Champo Dill.
It's gonner be a tsunami of goals thar Saints concede in EPL.
04 Jul 2024 09:09:29
They did. Just saying he's a better player than Rodon. And Bella-Kotchap impressed me when I saw him in the EPL. Both young so need to bare that in mind.
