2-0 Saints. Armstrong and Maya.

Anyone put him in their Fantasy League team? £5.5M. Bargain?

Smallbone. Hehehe. (sorry).

We've had our pants pulled down on this. It COULD work out.....if he stays fit and scores for fun this season then it makes sense. But his injury record suggests he won't.

This, sadly. Earlier in the summer we had no interest in him, particularly for the money Liverpool wanted.....that message was from various club mouthpieces. Panic buy, using next year's budget. I really hope it works.....I think the odds are against it

So it's a loan, after which we HAVE to buy him. For £18M. And it's Danny "who needs knees anyway?" Ings. Fook. Welcome anyway. I'll cheer you and will hope for the best. Have you tried Cissus by the way? It's good for joints.

Rather we signed Danny McBride. ****e piece of business.

Danny ****ing Ings? Christ on a bike. In January Gao was supposedly trying to sign Walcott as a "present to the fans". And here we are scrambling last minute for Danny Ings. Good god.

I'm sure there was an ITK comment, or possibly an interview with a first teamer even, near the start of the summer which suggest 2 strikers would be leaving. Presumably we are looking at a last week/day deal if we can shift some other wages?

Austin did look poor yesterday, but then the team didn't really help him much. My hope is that Armstrong and Moi, carrying the ball from midfield at pace, will create more chances than last season. This may be a forlorn hope.

JWP and Rom on. Lemina and Hoedt off. Back 4 now presumably?

Are any of Nelly, Les, Ralph at the game?

This could be a tough season. We really do look poor.

That really was dismal defending. Should have scored. So, so poor.

We really don't have any ideas or ability in attack.

Good goal......poor defending though.

Good attack...Armstrong to Gabbi. Keeper saves.

Watching it in German. Some links on Reddit.

Decent tempo to this.

I really hope we don't buy him. At 20M+, with all his injuries....who would be desparate enough?

Beat me by seconds!

There's a FA Premier League in place for this forum. Can't remember the joining code though.

The assist for the equaliser was sublime.

Yes. He looked tidy, sharp, some decent stuff. I wonder if he will feature in CM and make a starting place his own?

Watched the last 20 minutes. Not much time to assess, but encouraging. Pretty decent at times. Seem to be more forward-looking, and moving the ball quicker. Hoedt managed to look wobbly. Reed busy. Gallagher mobile. JWP in central midfield? Wonder how many games he'll really get there?
