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.

Where did this thread get dragged up from! Looking forward to scanning through it tomorrow.

A more encouraging article..... mentioning running out of patience with MP. Certainly not a "has our full backing" message. And lol at the realisation that our current position hinders recruitment!!

Walcott would be such an 'un Saints' signing that I'd have been shocked if we had done it. That said, it may well be time for 'un Saints' signings to help us out of the mess we're in.

There's only one Siph Mdlalose. Is this game being shown anywhere?

Were there any interesting possibilities mentioned in the interview?

Remember we don't buy success...we nurture it. And given the excellence of the coaching demonstrated so far this season, and our track record of picking up unknown gems like Gardos and Bedneck (or whatever he's called), I am sure these two signings will be on Liverpool's radar come the end of the season. #inleswetrust

Particularly for such a defensive manager!

Not with this manager. No chance.

Handball though.

How many times? How many in the last minute or two? Just how many times will we do this?

So...what's the difference today then? Tadic on the left. No Redmond to slow things down. Watford are a bit **** though.

Need top get this goal-scoring wizard in my fantasy league team. JWP!!!!

Ohhhh. Hoot tries one from 40 yards!

Strong chasing back from JWP too. Like to see that.

JWP - our new goal-scoring midfielder!

Think they'll be too physically strong for us. They are quite a big team. We rarely move the ball quick enough to be incisive, and we don't have the mentality for a fight. If you were Watford you'd be looking at this as a home banker - and an end to their poor run. If it goes poorly today then it's going to be near on impossible to recover I fear. I can see a 0-3 loss.

A bit meh. I think our model DOES work...up to a point. Bring in decent, younger players, have them develop and sell on for a big fee; while competing in the top 10. The crux is that we make the right player choices....we do seem a little too hit and miss with this now. And that we coach them well, so they do develop....which seems to have gone of the rails somewhat. Oh, and that we play decent football for the fans...which again is missing. Oh....and to really make this work we need a manager who will buy into it and be good enough to the job. Um....yeah...think we've got a problem. I WANT our 'Way' to work...but it's reliant on lots of factors, and right now too many of them are underperfoming.

I thought that was footage of every single first team player during a MoPe 'tactical' briefing?

£30M would be a crazy number to pay for him. Unless we do something drastically different tactically then it would be madness to sign him. However, if we had a Pelle/Lambert style forward to leading the line it could work pretty well.

Signed from Birmingham reserves....when Brum were a league below us IIRC? Seem to remember a few moans about us signing a player who couldn't even get a game for them! Turned out to be a hero. Loved him in the team. We could do with someone like him now.
