For a bit of Friday fun let's think of the best and worst starting eleven we can make with SR signings only. That means all players signed from summer 2022 whether they were permanents or loans. Academy players are banned unless they were brought in during SR's tenure. You can define 'best' and 'worst' in whatever terms you like. For ease of posting that means the following players: Amo-Ameyaw, Bazunu, Lis, Bella-Kotchap, Lavia, Aribo, Mara, Caleta-Car, Edozie, Larios, Orsic, Alcaraz, Bree, Onuachu, Sulemana, Maitland-Niles, Abu, McNamara, Manning, Charles, Lumley, Awe, Stewart, O'Brien-Whitmarsh, Downes, Fraser, Holgate, Harwood-Bellis, Rothwell, Brooks, Lallana, Taylor, Edwards, Wood, Sugawara, Brereton Diaz, Matsuki, Akachukwu, Archer, Juan, Fernandes, Dipepa, Ramsdale, Traore, Welington, Kayi Sanda, Udoh, Takaoka, Ugochukwu, Cornet, Gronbaek, Quarshie, Downs, Roerslev, Azaz, Fellows, Jander, Scienza, Romeu, Long, Jelert Here's mine. Best: Ramsdale Jelert - Wood - Bella-Kotchap - Taylor Lavia - Romeu (C) Brooks - Fernandes - Scienza Stewart Worst: Bazunu Sugawara - Holgate - Larios Cornet - Maitland-Niles Gronbaek - Orsic Mara - Brereton Diaz - Downs (C)

If I was feeling cynical, I would say that the timing of Romeu's signing was a tactical measure to dampen the negativity associated with appointing O'Neil.

I absolutely agree but the skatey part is a sticking point for me. Maybe it could be forgiven if he was half decent…. But he is crap. I would pick Carrick honestly.

Gary O’Neil is bottom of the bargain bin as far as I’m concerned. This plus the revelation that Rasmus is still meddling should be fuel enough for protests SR get out of my club

Gary O’Nil When we fail to have shots on target

RIP

Congratulations to Martin on being appointed Eastleigh manager!

Insane signing for this level. Actually, forget 'this level'. Insane signing. Every one of the wasters in this group should look to Romeu as a model player. I can only hope this is the turning point for our season

I don't have one, it's just my gut instinct.

Because nobody else wants to come

I think it's pretty clear we will not be getting a hard bastard that will whip the squad into shape. That's just not SR's style. Nor will we get a 'pedigreed ex-player' manager. SR like an ex-player for dressing room vibes, and Romeu will continue this trend following Lallana and Walcott. SR have not learned from their mistakes, they will just continue to impose the same 'strategy' they always have.

Tactical nuke, incoming!

so wheres the announcement?

I am so so sick to death of this player Of hearing about him, talking about him and seeing him play Yet another howler today. How will we still be fielding Bazunu and McCarthy as our goalkeepers in 2026!!! Like Turkish said, the founding father of SR's terrible recruitment

You can't be serious

Don't forget the new manager will play him for at least 10 games

SCIENZZZAAAAAAAAA!

Sellesball 🔥 we are cooking blud

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

rotted by the rot

Un fucking acceptable. The Fan Advisory Board have a lot to answer for. Heads must fucking ROLL!!!!!

Bring back Juric he was hounded out the club by the fans.... at least he was able to win games (Well one game)

Do you mean that because the lino is close enough to argue with or what?

Had it ready and accidentally pressed post. sorry.

And there it is.
