On loan Takoka scores a brace last night
at 15:31 16 Aug 2025

Our on loan forward Rento Takaoka scored a brace to help loan club Valenciennes secure their first win of the 2025/26 season. Takaoka scored twice in five minutes as Sport Republic's Valenciennes beat Le Puy 2-1 on Friday evening.

About time we got something of equal positivity back in our direction - such as the half decent player they had a Goztepe last season who was attracting interest from some half decent clubs in Europe.

Saints allegedly put Smallbone on sale for £8m
at 17:47 13 Aug 2025

According to this article (see link below) we are prepared to let WS go for £8m - good luck with getting that when he will be a freebie next summer. I’d say we’d do well getting £5/6m - probably end up a loan again as with Stoke last time but then nothing next summer… If Still is not interested in playing him then get him gone for £5m if needs be and add that as part of the payment for JR from Coventry if they play hardball over his fee.

Let’s just hope no Turkish Clubs take an interest 😀

Bazunu’s loan spell ended early
at 19:44 25 Apr 2025

Sports Witness are reporting today that Standard Liège have terminated Bazanu’s loan spell early and sent him back to Southampton. The official reason is that he has returned early for treatment on a new knee injury - however, Belgian media outlet Sudinfo reported that Bazunu played just eight games, keeping one clean sheet and conceding 15 goals. Sudinfo say he ‘hasn’t been reassuring at all’ since he arrived in Belgium, meaning the stopper wasn’t convincing say Sports Witness. God help us if SR think he’s the answer to replace Ramsdale, I would think given his proven stats we already know about we’d not have much chance of going back up with him in goal.

O'Brien Whitmarsh & Ballard's midweek goals
at 23:12 12 Mar 2025

Joe O'Brien Whitmarsh and Dom Ballard scored for their respective loan clubs in midweek, O'Brien Whitmarsh getting the 1st and 4th goals for Accrington Stanley and Ballard getting an early strike in for Cambridge United against the club he was previously on loan at.
OK, I know it's only L2 but the O'Brien Whitmarsh goals were not bad at all especially his second one, but the Blackpool defending for Ballard's goal really belongs in a Carry On movie!

SR are at it again
at 02:45 14 Jan 2025

SR - and specifically Ankersen given his close ties to Goztepe - are it again. Yet again, it looks like we stump up the cash for a player and others benefit. Absolute joke.

SFC 5th worst ranked in the PL for paying players who don’t play!
at 21:28 20 Dec 2024

An interesting article - it will be equally interesting to see how much this changes under the new manager and how much deadwood we can shift in January (on loan, at least)…
