⚽ :saints: The Summer 2019 Transfer Thread

I reckon we might see a different photo from the official sources. As someone that used to have to cut around people for our memes, I recognise some of the mistakes.

I looks to me as if someone has pulled a photo with a black background, and has done a reasonable job of shaving the edges off. Maybe it’s just the lighting, but he looks to have hair growing on the top of his ear.

That doesn’t mean it has not come from the club, of course, but has someone that has made my own image editing compromises, this shot looks like a composite.

Reckon you’re right.

They’ve just taken any old picture of Kev wearing a Saints kit and changed the background.

:wink:

If you follow the link to the Twitter post you’ll find that someone has posted the picture used as the basis for the altered image*. Forget the shadow, forget the background, just have a look at the hands:

And that was spotted by FiverWeb’s very own TractorSaint.

Shirt does look like a photoshop on closer inspection

…and the ear lobes?

I’m sorry but I’m waiting for official confirmation from The Sotonian Oracle…if he’s allowed out to play. :lou_wink_2:

Has he not been given the keepers job and is in Gaol

Good question from Eric.
Why was Ted Bates’ statue wearing a Cape in the Ralph Express video?

He looks delighted…

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

From me, him or both?

Sarcasm, from me? Nah, never. Lowest form of wit heard. :wink:

Far be it from me to correct you but, sarcasm is an art form, one that I have perfected…

No, seriously, can someone explain this? #ralphexpressvideo

Looks like he’s carrying a monkey.

Monkey Chicken Petting Zoo reference?
