Can we still suspend this game please? Maybe oriel is doing Boris’ address. It would make more sense...

Surely we haven’t sold Oriel

Where is Salisu? What on earth is going on?

No Romeu. Suspended? Diallo in midfield. Theo and Danny ings up front

Ralph being considered for Chelsea if they sack Lampard, says Indy. Oh great.

On Djenepo it feels like we haven't yet found the way to utilise him. I think he would be best in the hole, or certainly in the last third, where he can use trickery to get into the penalty area and make things happen. When we use him in midfield he does little but lose the ball in dangerous places and leave us exposed down the flanks, which doesn't work with our 'team' tactics of hunting in packs etc. Redmond is similar in that he needs to be encouraged to take risks and attack but needs to work on his end product and losing the ball too often, too. They are both essentially players whose best skills - dribbling, pace, unpredictability - might be best employed when teams try and work us out, park the bus and get men behind the ball. IMHO

Oh God. Gerry Masrden has died. That’s the YNWA montage doing the tv pundits’ work for them done after they win. Gah!

Eek. Forster. 0-3 methinks

Quite like the sound of this deal. Looks a Ralph kind of signing

Cheers. Hope not anything to do with Leicester’s interest in Vestergard from a while back. Also same for Choudhury.

Our talks with Demarai Gray’s entourage have intensified apparently. Just wondering if Che played with him at Birmingham City?

Agree completely. Think he really flatters to deceive. But this move looks a win-win

Transfer- sorry - injury update from Ralph: Ralph Hasenhuttl on team news: "I think for him [Redmond] and Jannik Vestergaard this will take a little bit longer. We will have a look. It may take two or three more weeks, I don't know. It will take a little bit longer though, I think.” #saintsfc

Great news! Excellent player

Anyone have any news on Vestergard? Or when he sustained what kind of knee injury he has? Is he now three weeks away form a return?

Perhaps we can let them off a bit given how many games have come in quick succession. Fatigue is showing in a pretty thin squad.

Imagine if we had Antonio. Have always felt we need a big bully up front. Che is strong but Antonio is something else. Definitely need to get a striker in on loan of Shame is the answer...

God, the lack of ambition.

Transfer window reassessment right here

If we don’t go for the win we will lose

We really miss Vestergard’s ability to switch it with great cross passes and his ability in the air at set pieces. To be fair though, West Ham have played well. Christ we were lucky there after Stephens remembering to be crap again

He really is. No understanding of the game. Lucky to have got another contract. Have to say Walcott has lost the ball a LOT again

Would now take another point. We miss vestergard a great deal

Antonio. Here it comes.

Not arguing that. I agree. He was pretty poor. But surely Armstrong into the hole or Nlundlu up front instead of Long, who was gash in the last game
