Just can't see that happening. Most clubs seem to be struggling for "proven goal scorers" so the likelihood of getting one on loan must surely be non-existent?

Wait, is Russell martin back?

Dell sized mentality.

He's both, we're fickle football fans after all.

Beard and hair = too much Russell Martin on this thread.

100%

Winning the game 0-0 got me 😂

Sign these other couple of players (Fellows and the German guy) and I'll say that was a decent window in the end. Get £40m+ for Fernandes, I'm okay with that. Move on some more deadwood that have 'contributed' to a couple of awful seasons (Aribo, Smallbone, Bereton for example) and I'll be delighted. At the moment 6/10. Above completed, 9/10.

He did, I thought they looked a comfortable front 2

Agreed, in a world where I am happy to call out most "journalism" on the BBC as a lot of poorly written, badly proof-read tripe, this guy can write and this article is really very good. The sledgehammer subtlety is wonderful.

Potential player of the year to cunt in a few hours. Well done, prat.

Good ham rolls. Same - looks decent, 'Boro whilst not hugely sad to see him go seem to worry about his output being replaced and that's good enough for me, we need some "output". Decent skills on show on the compilation too although we know they're always bollocks, I'll stick this one down as a good signing.

No disrespect to the player, but I don't care how it pans out really. He made his choice - as I said elsewhere, thanks for the £.

Going well since this. 3rd choice goalie, well done.

Not being rude, but they don't watch our forward clowns every week ...

Agreed - strike force is horrific and a priority to fill.

I'll accept that, forgot about him ...

From another thread, but simple message to the recruitment team at Saints - buy some players that are instantly good enough for the first 11, PLEASE. No more "might be good enough" or "potential youngster", I mean yeah, they can be great, but your track record is appalling and when it's worked, we see them for about 3 minutes in a Saints shirt (Lavia, Livramento). Downs might become decent, but right now, we need a striker who is a proper '9' and who will walk into the first 11 and make a difference. Get on it. Best regards.

Absolutely hideous. Embarrassing even.

Exactly the problem with this club's transfer strategy, you are spot on. How many players have they signed that are instant names in the first 11? None.

Exactly how I feel reading this thread. I came away annoyed at the midfield and the poor strike force, but it wasn't a bad match at all like is being made out.

Can't be fked with him. Seen far too many Saints academy kids leave too young and never live up to their potential, he's yet another. But thanks for the £.

Watching that video gave me PTSD

Edozie is one I think is a shame, could see talent there, but hey ho

My son (and his year) are 10/11 - the girls are enormous! One of them (who plays football and is really good) is already about 5'8". But yes, different story in the next couple of years.
