the OP can boycott away. I could not give a flying **** if so called fans that make suggestions of boycotting games aren't at games. Turn up, don't turn up, whatever you feel, that's hus right and I respect it, but don't for a second think you are doing the club a favour. It's painful to watch Saints right now, but in my eyes boycotting is for truly dreadful states of affairs such as Gao placing £210m of debt onto the club, paying himself £20m a year and moving us to London. That is when you protest. That's when you boycott, not when the football becomes uninspiring and we don't have the quality in the final third to break down even the worst teams in the league, and thus face relegation. As I said, the OP can boycott away...other fans care just as much about their team but are simply made of sterner stuff.

playing 12 might just be the answer

Football club goes through spell of losing games and so fans (which amazingly enough is short for `fanatics') suggest boycotting games? Jesus H Christ.

I didn't think we sign anyone, so I guess Carillo was a bonus (although that remains to b see). Not that I wouldn't have wanted us to sign a few. I think our squad is terrible. I don't think there is a single position that could not have been improved. Even the two fullback positions, which most regard as our strength, have been pretty average and are under zero pressure from their understudies. Sadly I think we are paying way way too much to what I would describe as average premiership players. Our wage bill is monstrous and big wages mean its pretty much impossible to reshuffle the pack.

I've read some codswallop on here...

£100m goes on wages. Actually our wages are more than £100m these days. As for the VVD transfer, it was £70m plus add ons, minus Celtics cut, minus the Carillo fee, not to mention that that money comes in instalments, so we possibly don't have £43m or thereabouts sitting in the bank account. VVD's wage may have gone straight to Carillo. Record transfers tend to get paid pretty well in relation to team mates.

or they always wanted Ayew and Schurle was just paper talk...

he wouldn't have team mates creating taps in here. He might be a decent player, but he really hasn't shown it this season. I can totally understand why he has been farmed out on loan.

United spent £0. Yeah right. Sanchez' signing on fee alone outstrips have the other sides spending. Transfer fees spending league is meaningless these days.

not really. He has looked pretty terrible this season, all be it he never gets a good run in the side. A few tap ins recently after teams mates did all the hard work doesn't get past the fact he struggled. Touch not good enough and not physical enough. When I went to see Forrest at Chelsea before Xmas he was a total non entity.

Everyone knows that all previous transfers completed in a window are forgotten once they have occurred.

currently on Norwich's bench...so that move could have legs

Not a great fan of Magala, but we really could do with someone with his physical attributes at the back. Where you gain in that department you will lose in terms of quality of distribution. Perhaps a side like ours could afford to give up a little in that area in favour of someone that can actually win a header

how on earth do they know that?

yeah. Personally I think the deal is all done and dusted, it's just the final editing of the unveil video that's taking longer than expected. Maybe Promes didn't like the drawn version of himself and it had to be reworked.

personally I think Deulofeu is average. He struggled to get in the Everton side, was lightweight and didn't offer anywhere near enough quality. I was amazed Barca brought him back into the fold, but after a quick look they quite clearly have seen he ain't all that.

he will have to score 28 prem goals in 75 games to be on par, never mind offering a similar all round game...

no.

I'm assuming that social media platform is specifically for live posting rather than for any pre-recorded material?

What a very good idea. At some point we (and other premiership clubs) are going to have to bite the bullet like Man City have done in the past and pay a serious chunk of a players wages to get them out of here. Oh and if Dembele is not thew man then lets get Tierney down here. He can play left back and centre back.

We've only a few days until the window closes, so if a transfer is a possibility then he'd be in the UK now ready to do the medical. Being here, you'd go to the game, arriving very late to go unnoticed.

if we had top draw attackers that put the ball in the back of the net, then all the criticism of tactics and substitutions just wouldn't exist...but we simply don't that quality in the final third. Havent had it for a long time now...

Thanks SJ. Its getting tiring reading how MP made a mistake with this sub or that. Its very easy with 20:20 hindsight to know what to do. Although this sub seemed to have a negative impact, it helped get the job done. If he hadn't made it and they scored you can bet your bottom dollar the same fans moaning on here about that swap, would be moaning at him for not bringing a defender on and not learning his lesson of two weeks ago.

strikes me, that you are just looking for things to attack MP with. Davis had a shocker last week. Hoj was playing quite far forward, so it made sense to give Boufal his head and try and win the game. A very good Spurs block at the end and he would have done exactly that. Well played Saints. Really glad we got a point as Spurs have some real quality up front.
