Walking advert for our academy whilst we are playing well and winning, but become less to shout about when you take the good players out of the side and there is no where to hide. Mind you that can be sad of quite a few of our players now they can no longer hide behind Morgan's athleticism which constantly got everyone out of jail. you look at JWP and Targett and it's clear they are a long way short of being top class. Plenty of time for them to improve and shine, but would a Premiership side buy them now if either were playing in the championship. Not a chance.

You should be. Games are won by fine margins. We have taken three of our best players out, add two more that are injured and a woeful summer transfer window so far and you have a side that falls way short of what is required to win enough games to do well. Things can turn around quickly though. With Bertrand and Clasie back and VVD in we might look a better side. Still need to get Juamni into the side as we are desperately short of magic in the final third.

We were worse in pretty much every position compared to last season. If someone posts #wemarchon I might have to jump across to the assisted dying thread.

It's his one in six games goal scoring ratio they all love about him. Terrible player. So average. Too nice. Waste of £12m.

Amazingly low price, but it's money wasted if none of streams work.

We have taken the cheap option this summer.

He really is and I have to say I am not overly impressed by Romeu or Cedric either. Add Juanmi and martini to the mix and we appear to committed the ultimate sin of bulling out the squad with average players. We did that once before I recall and things didn't end well.

Tadic was poor,for,most of second half of last season yet we can't find an attacking player better than him. I have some serious doubts about our scouting system.

Deeply depressing first half. The quality has been drained from us and all,we have left is the like of Shane Long. Sigh.

They all freeze up every three minutes. Waste of space

Was he from the black box or the lucky dip?

Not convinced by the new formation. Has worked before, but feels like we are chopping and changing a little too much. So far this season RK hasn't got,it right

How,do you find out?

I have Ighalo in my fantasy side. He certainly isn't afraid to shoot. We need to make,sure he doesn't get time to set his feet as he is a danger.

Why did he want to leave? What was in the contract offer? When was the contract offered? It's all water under the bridge now but I think it's fair to say that if Saints had really wanted to keep him, he would have stayed, but he was treated like a squad player, which at the time he was, when perhaps he could and should have been treated as a vital first team player, especially as it was easy to predict our top players would be in demand and possibly leave. Both Poch and RK undervalued him IMO, but that's history now. We have Romeu and Clasie. Let's see how they fare. Perhaps 6 months down the line Cork wont be missed at all...we'll see.

Apart from the undercover skates, of which I have no doubt there are a few.

Cedric may flourish, but not sure for formation is made for Targett

As in they weren't a sixth place side that jammed it through the play offs.

Watford play with a degree of freedom and create a lot of chances. Promoted on merit, they will be very tough. We need to up our game and keep it much tighter than we have seen so far.

Achieve Best league position for donkeys years and players leave....our lot isn't exactly inspiring no matter how often the #wemarchon ******** is repeated

Cats out the bag on that one

By the way it's no surprise. He blabbed his mouth in summer about wanting to join arsenal and then had to backtrack and delete tweets. The Morgan sized hole I mentioned a few weeks ago would be gaping if Wanyama managed to force his way out.

I hate this load of old marketing ********. Lose a game, we march on, get knocked out of the cup, we march on, best player sold, we march on, what a load of ********.

What we wouldn't do for Cork in the centre of our midfield now.

I agree with this, but genuinely interested to know how a mid sized club can match the ambition of someone like Morgan? We had a tiny window of opportunity to win a cup and the following year get into CL, but that IMO was the only way we'd have kept them all and even then we may have struggled as the players would have been in even more,demand. We could try Evertons approach of paying these players more than they could get at the big clubs, but even that hasn't stopped players leaving, albeit one at a time.
