I can't agree; Che was equal top 6th scorer in the Championship, that is not the record of a midtable Championship striker. Every Saints supporter knows that he misses too many easy chances (as do other strikers) but equally he does a lot of good work outside of the box and had no replacement as a target man who could hold the ball up and play other strikers in. His form got him a move to the 9th best placed team in Serie A, so he must be doing something right, good luck to him.

Che was in no way crap; he played 40 matches, scored 15 goals and had 4 assists. Similarly, Fraser was not a "squad player", he played 39, 6 goals and 2 assists which are decent stats for a winger and are a big factor in why we are interested in getting him back. I agree that Brooks disappointed after a very bright start, although he still managed 6 assists in 20 matches.

This is your post that I was replying to, perhaps there is an another "fucking discussion" as you so eloquently politely put it, where you mentioned the PSR era, but that's not my issue. We are all Saints supporters mate, supporting a common cause .... so try acting like it.

The discussion was about clubs that WERE yo-yo clubs but which had become stable PL clubs. I think CP fit that description

Crystal Palace are another

100% agree but chance of getting him, zero.

In 34 games last season, many as a non starter, he scored 6 and had 3 assists. I think that's a, reasonable return for a 21 year old.

I was just about to write the same, but you have put it better than I could. Stu's value to the team was always much greater than the bald stats and is why he will be a loss to the team going forwards. I'm sure we went something like 2 seasons when the only games we won, were when Stu was in the team. and his ability to break lines was key to this.

Very harsh, For his age and inexperience Shea has looked a decent prospect as a DM, he just needs to improve his touch and passing, which should come with experience.

I hope we stuff them

Thats the most important factor

I would 😉

I look out for your posts with interest because they usually mean the complete opposite is true... This is a perfect example.

I watched every game and while his form may have dipped at times, he didn't give me the impression that he clearly wanted out. Certainly not compared to players like Van Dijk.

I'm really pleased that Hojbjerg has gone on to have a great club and international career since leaving Saints (better than I expected, to be fair), he always gave his all and seems like a genuine guy.

Bit harsh of a comparison. I don't really get the hate for Che; okay, he is unlikely to ever score 12+ goals in the PL (not many of those around to be fair) but is hold-up play is well above average and based on his stats is going to score 7 or 8 a season in the PL which is not too shabby.

My feelings exactly

How do we know that was our main target?

Why is Mccarthy not PL standard in your opinion?

Sorry, but Ox WAS a proven PL standard player. These are the stats taken from the PL web site. That is 39 games in the past 4 seasons and 4 goals in that time. Superb player but, unfortunately, has been plagued with injuries.

Are we sure he is Brazilian? He doesn't seem to possess any of the skills that you normally associate with a Brazilian. Mind you neither did Lyanco 😂

Err, he comfortably will be. Whenever I saw him, I thought that a village somewhere was missing its idiot.

If it couldn't get any worse in politics .......... Rupert Lowe wins Great Yarmouth seat for Reform UK | Great Yarmouth Mercury

Has that been confirmed?
