I feel the same. Was very excited about Boufal, and Lemina. Sadly this feels meh. I HOPE I am proved to be a cynical, unknowing fool and he turns out to be brilliant.

Entirely this. He would be our record signing...and I'm not remotely excited by it.

The 5 Pledges has been replaced by The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Nelly has flown in especially to deliver it. But to whom......?

Never been a fan. However, he is winning me over. I think there's a really good player in there that is starting to emerge. Hard working, good dead ball delivery, the odd goal or two. Wonder if he could take a kind of Marsden role, supporting an attacking right back......or perhaps take on the Steven Davis role? Yep.....I'm starting to appreciate him.

Much, much better. Coincidence that we are better all round when Redmond doesn't play? BTW - why is the transfer window thread closed?

Olhooloolooo is coming on!

Playing for the point. I reckon MoPe does this because he is unable to do anything inventive to change up an attack.

Right lads, good half. Now let's sit back and defend the point. It's The Southampton Way.

Bertrand is up for it today. Our left side looks so more potent without Redmong.

Goalllllaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Fans are in good voice.

Dressed as school girls?

Where's Maya? Injured?

Of playing for a clown?

He would keep us up. MoPe will take us down.

Yep. We should be nowhere near the bottom three with this squad. Yes, it needs improving in places, but the team is MASSIVELY underperfoming.

It does look like changing managers has had an overall positive impact this season. I think we could improve considerably with a new manager - the team is underperforming and the current tactics and decisions from MoPe are awful. However, why would a 'better' manager come now? Given the situation we are in and how far through the transfer window we are. Think we're stuck with MoPe.

Yep. Funny that isn't it? I bloody hope our board have noticied this. Probably too late now though.

I wonder if that is more, or less close than when he said similar last weekend? The same signings, or different? Wonder if he'll still be saying the same as the window starts to creak shut?

Les in early Feb: "Ambitious club.....aiming to bring in established internationals...difficult window.....not spending for the sake of it......we look long term.......we're delighted to welcome Nick Powell to the Saints, and look forward to the quality he brings."

I'd suggest were FAR more likely to spend £30M on this guy than £20M on Theo. Quincy would be on far less wages too. He'd fit with our sell-on model....get a couple of season out of him and sell him on for a £20M profit. However......could this be a case of the board aiming to 'look good' before we make a last day, frantic effort to bring in Snodgrass on loan?!!

Why tomorrow?

Christ. The mismanagement in our club is incredible.
