Completely agree, even the top class one who is a available in Tierney has massive question marks over fitness.

Then he would never leave Southampton

Ritchie has been kept around for his leadership and personality around the squad and training ground. He’s clearly not going to play a big part this season on the pitch.

I reckon Andersen in next and that will be us done (assuming Barnes and Livramento sign)

Did he play during the euro u-21 ?

It’s also higher because of the sell on clause Chelsea have.

If he’s over his injury, 30 million is an excellent price. Comes in and learns from Trippier and could easily be our RB for the next 10 years.

FFP baffles me, had to sell Maxi for 30 million to be able to spend nearly 70 on Barnes and Livramento. (Not complaining as I think both would be cracking signings)

Only perfect sense if Southampton actually want Ashby on loan.

Season before last with 5 goals and 5 assists I think.

6 million for a really poor keeper is good money imo.

6 million is a great price for him, if that’s what we get.

Give up with what ? I’ve not said I want him gone ever ? just making a point about his fitness last season.

Have to disagree, the fitness and physicality needed to play under Howe is light years ahead of under Bruce. That without even mentioning the training we do under Howe in comparison to the 2/3 days a week “training” we used to do under Bruce.

Think the focus has always been on outgoings, it’s just difficult to sell really poor players.
