Yeah Loved broja when he was here was extremely fast for a big man I genuinely thought he was gonna be world class

Ideally I think we would all rather have a Rickie Lambert then just a lump up front enabling others is kind of second job for a striker

For me jury is still out on larin as well, we know he’s a good physical presence but whether he can be a high scoring clinical striker is still a big question

Yeah one of my biggest concerns over him staying is we don’t really want him being a distraction to sports republic to properly upgrade the position .imo we have really made a mess of the striker situation this season we are left with larin who himself was meant to be a back up. A injured Stewart and archer who is hardly even worth mentioning at the moment .. spors. Has made some good signings but you really cannot afford to not upgrade your weakest positions the failure to do this with cf and goalkeeper positions has probably cost us automatic promotion

Tricky call on what to do with Ross at the end of the season.. on the one hand he’s a decent championship striker when fit so for no transfer fee he’s a decent option when fit on the other hand seems like he’s having issues again having a player who’s only available for a third of the matches or less isn’t great, we are woefully short of quality strikers this season . think atm for me I wouldn’t mind if we kept him around but not as first choice striker don’t mind him as a option.

Think he’s a bit donkey like at times but he puts a shift in and and is a physical presence . Reminds me a little of che Adams tbh. I think we probably need 2-3 new strikers if we get promoted wouldn’t count on any of our current three

It’s almost like having our own Manuel Neuer this guy is top draw. Absolutely critical to our promotion push .. I’d take him over ramsdale next season tbh and I love ramsdale too .. can’t say enough good things about our Daniel ❤️

Seriously rode our luck there. First half I thought we where great edozie looked a very good fill in for scienza and azaz was orchestrating things .Second half though we just struggled to get anything going not sure if it was game management but we seemed to give them too much respect in the second half. Peretz the hero with another 2 amazing stops 3points but we made hard work if it

Someone left the back door open beat Norwich tonight we looking good

Coming back to this I think he’s actually done quite a great job with some of the recruitment scienza,Azaz,peretz, and jander have all been cracking signings. Also whilst I still think it was a hell of a gamble Tonda is looking like a decent appointment too . Overall I think spors is doing a better job then those before him

Do we have a option to buy with peretz? He’s not ever gonna be be first choice at Bayern so think our chances of getting him should be decent.. he’s been fantastic tbh what a difference it makes. Having a big imposing goalkeeper who makes saves and doesn’t just stand there to pick the ball out of the net like Baz

I think he’s maybe the best player I’ve seen in a saints shirt when it comes to through balls and defence splitting passes, he actually might be even more effective if we get promoted as I think when teams play a higher line it gives a lot more space to play these kinds of passes .. when teams play a low block it nullifies that part of his game

And didn’t he mostly play kinda right wing forward under rm and have almost 40 goal contributions ? Agree he’s not a dribbler like fellows scienza or edozie etc be he kinda makes incisive runs and was a constant source of goals assists . Also probably helps he doesn’t get bullied by cbs

It’s a lot more likely the atmosphere changed due to results being hugely improved getting in a decent keeper and finally switching to a back four like everyone asked for, don’t you think? also don’t buy this Armstrong being a bad apple he was top scorer in the league and always worked hard and ran a lot .

Everyone is taking this the wrong way way though, point I’m trying to make is if you put Armstrong into this side at right wing it would instantly improve us massively as fellows has been offering little to nothing and matsuki is way to slow .and we know he was a absolute goal and assist machine there from the season under RM. yes cf he’s too small to hold the ball up etc but I think it’s absolutely nuts if you don’t think he would put out a ton more goal contributions then what we have on the right wing

Really? The games that got tonda the job like charlton away he was immense. Plus he was a great option for two positions .everyone talks about how hard it is to sign decent strikers/forwards in January but doesn’t seem to stop us letting ours go people seem to be making stuff up to make them feel happier about it

Thank god we have Edozie. He’s been a threat pretty much every time he’s stepped off the bench since coming back in . Time to stop fucking about now he must start from now on. Massive player for us if scienza injury is anything serious

Not even posting this because of scienza , but I really think it was a pointless dumbass move getting rid of AA, even if you don’t rate him as a cf which he still did a good job and was top scorer at one point surely he offers a shit ton more product then fellows and matsuki on the right ? . This was a man who had nearly 40 goal contributions playing on the right last time we where in the championship and he’s better there anyway . In general spors has done pretty good business but this and relying on bazunu for half the season could cost us

Absolutely but because many of his chances are kinda self made we can forgive it more .. also at least he always does provide a goal threat when you compare him to fellows on the other side Leo is the only one who really kinda cuts in and provides that goal threat from out wide

Seen a few doubting him to step up to the prem but if todays anything to go by he will be just fine. I think it’s actually debatable now if he’s better then lallana was with us at this level ? Both great in their own ways lallana a bit more tricky but Leo has the directness and pace that he can as most cut through teams by himself if he tightens up the shooting would be a monster

This is why we still have a chance most teams don’t take the cup that seriously even we haven’t been really up to this point . We need to even that up by going for it full strength, be great to keep the run going especially in the anniversary kit

Without judging on seven matches he shouldn’t of got the job in the first place though . To be fair I was totally against the appointment but considering the stats of us being top since he took over and all the other stats I think he’s earned a bit of slack now But without hindisight it still looked another retarded gamble from sports republic and I hope this doesn’t swell their egos to keep making inexperienced appointments

Perfect for this thread. I actually think Nathan Jones is a decent manager and think his personality is awesome think we appointed him at the wrong time could have done a decent job if appointed in one of the championship seasons and given time . Also the man is just TV gold you need characters like him by far the most entertaining press conferences in my time supporting saints 🤣

Let’s see how much they love him when he ditches them off after relegation like he did us .that wasn’t the point anyway I’m sure a lot of people would say xavi was a better footballer then Le tissier but I very much doubt xavi would have saved us year after year in relegation battles

Cortese was the most important person at the club since MLT
