I wouldn’t even be considering letting Archer go, he can be very effective playing wide and in my opinion always puts the effort in.

It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady poops, as they say, or something similar.

We’ve also struggles badly without Azaz.

Ryan Fraser vibes, as he was in his last season.

Panic over, statement of intent, Spanish signing unveiled

I knew they fuck it up somewhere along the line!

I’m sure he does, I’ve never heard of the bloke but I trust your judgement, is mr Spord involved with farming too?

That’s the point really, you’re going to win some and lose some, that’s the nature of this particular beast. Fans tend to look at deals in isolation, I doubt the brains at the top think that way. But the winning deals have really dominated in the last year or so. SR put their trust in Sheilds and Wilcox, and then through force of circumstance Rasmus got on over his head, that was the bad period. So far, Spors has done a tremendous job. Also credit to Tonda, as I recall, when he took over he insisted we went for battle hardened experience, something we would never have done previously. Previous regimes would have ignored Larin instead choosing to sign a Mara, hopping he’d turn into a Drogba.

Maybe that’s where it’s stuck, they realise the football league’s sanctions were massively over the top.

It’s an eyrie coincidence.

They’ve been hawking him around, I like to keep my eagle eye on these things.

I’d take that over a crude and artless 5-1 win.

I think the combination of his lengthy injury absence and transfer rumours emanating from Germany have lead the that perception but I don’t know it’s any more than that.

I think either one or both of Azaz and Larin being injured changes the whole picture.

Those are both big “ifs” , regardless of which they are both brilliant additions.

Brilliant news, signing a player who’s spent his whole career in the premier league, and for a chunk of that time being the most consistent and committed player in a succession of poor and declining Saints squads.

Better get a shift on if he is to play tomorrow.

I expect him to Schlot straight in at the beck.

What with his and Willo’s obsession with Blackmore’s state of arousal, I’m a bit concerned the direction this forum is heading, I’m sure there are more suitable forums for you to discuss your wants, needs and desires?

How does that make you feel?

Lost 2 games, lost 2 key players (3), appear to have lost fitness, appear to have lost team spirit, were unconvincing against Colchester and laboured against Stoke. And amongst those losses we were humiliated by a second string West Ham team. I'm worried about this season as things stand currently.

I think West Ham will, by all accounts they dominated Charlton and Blackburn but couldn't get the win. I would caveat that by saying they retain the players they have. Millwall will be up there.

I think in be absence of anything happening in the transfer market it’s as good as anything to start vacuum filling saintsweb squabble!

There is definitely a dark shadow hanging over the club. I don’t want Tonda to go particularly but I’m starting to believe it was a mistake not cutting him loose, if that makes sense.
