  1. Weird times... Well run on the pitch and totally chaos off pitch. I am amazed the Ralph stays. He probably gets a lot of power to make this his team...
  2. So my bet is end of the week in an away shirt...
  3. Redmond hasn’t produced the points needed from an attacking player but is so important for us anyway. Both in his press play and his ability to hold the ball and beat his man. Such a difference when he’s not playing.
  4. Hehe, sorry. I am Swedish so my English is a bit dodgy. When I was in language school In Torquay I got corrected on my grammar by the 3 year old daughter in my host family. ? I hope my point is still valid, there are some major question mark regarding this sponsorship. I hope that the real answers don’t get us in trouble.
  5. I just checked the LD Sport web page and it really does not look like a company who can afford to sponsor a Premier League Team. It is in Chinese but the the content on the page seems to very limited and Southampton focused. What details do we have on the sponsorship deal? Is it confirmed that Gao is the owner of LD Sports? It is really tricky to find any information on the case which is odd on a Premier League sponsor. https://www.ldsports.uk/
  6. FFFP is also worth consideration as we can’t sell a few of them due to making huge losses in our annual report.
  7. We will love VAR every time it goes our way and hate it when it turns against us. Simple as that.
  8. A bit high on the result and performance in the second half yesterday I started looking at our squad for next season. I think Ralph will continue to reduce the number and try to increase the quality in the squad with a few but quality signings. I have build a squad around 3-4-3 and Ralph can of course have different ideas for next season. Also unclear what budget we will have as our outgoings will not generate any cash as we have most likely have them on (too) high salaries. GK Gunn GK McCarthy CB Bednarek CB Vestergaard CB Yoshida CB Stephens CB Marquee signing with leadership attributes LWB Bertrand LWB Targett RWB Valery RWB JWP (as cover) CM Hoj CM JWP CM Lemina CM Romeu OM Redmond OM Sims OM Marquee signing with pace OM Armstrong OM / ST Obafemi ST Ings ST Marquee signing with pace and strenght Get rid of: Boufal, Hoedt, Austin, Long, Mo, Forster, Soares
  9. This is probably done behind the scenes now. The club wanted him to stay and all actions up to now was trying get another year from him.
  10. Possession + Bad defence + ineffective strikers is a really bad combination. My tip for Puel is to adopt to our current crop of players. Let the team fall deeper and use the strength of our counter attackers (Long, Redmond, Gabbiadini). We have already seen(Liverpool) that this fits Stephens better when he can defend with play in front of him.
  11. We are on a Jack Stephens suicide mission...
  12. I thinkit is also a case of Kat failing Reed... She is looking to sale(either part or the entire club) and her focus doesn't seem to be to build the club at the moment. The uncertainty affect all staff at the club we are quickies loosing our strategy. We need to get the owner position sorted quickly if we are not to following steps with Villa where Sterner lost interest in the club.
  13. An absolute abysmal window by the club. We needed a central defender and a goal scorer and we end up with a keeper and a forward who has never scored more than 10 in a season. What worries me about Gabbiadini is that he is 25 and with limited skills to be developed. He isn't that kind of raw material we have signed earlier. And by not signing a central defender we will be in a real mess in the summer when we will need to rebuild with 2 new central defenders after VVD leaves. And due to the injury of VVD we are in a mess now as well team wise. I think it is clear that the focus is elsewhere at the moment. We are looking too much into investment/selling the club and are loosing our place as first challenger to the top 6.
  14. Jack Stephens are struggling badly. Wasting possession and side footed in defense.
  15. I know that you should not rate players on one game but since there had been some rumours about him I studied him extra when I watch Napoli-Sassuolo in November. He was just awful, running around and never seemed to be a threat. We need a goal scorer and I don't think the Gabbiadini will be that for us.
