Mr X

He has all the key ingredients in terms of skill to be a really exciting prospect for us but it just hasn't happened consistently, do you think this will be his season, should he start regularly? Another player that perhaps needs to learn to introduce some simplicity into his game and not try and beat every player on the field with flicks and tricks and walk straight into trouble! Frustrating as he is too good to be another Redmond... Or is he?

Welcome saint romain you have huge potential, I hope you achieve it with us. Hope you aren't our only significant signing though, our club needs at least four new signings if we are going to avoid a repeat of the second half of last season.

Pompey, Bournemouth & Brighton the ideal Pre Season 🤣

I was on about dejenepo but yes hoedt had some skills just an attitude that didn't match

Has all the football skill but no football brain, constantly tries to do too much with too many tricks, walks into trouble. loses possession, repeats. Redmond you of anyone?

I know it was Bayern offer but Wasn't there rumours he fell out with RH? weird that his departure pretty much coincided with our shit form

I get why these celebrities & footballers are doing it & who wouldn't make easy money if they can, but would you really pay for a completely insincere message that is only being done for monetary gain? A message that's even scripted by the person paying, That's the question. It's quite sad in a way, but a sign of the times.

Diallo was his former team mate & for me there's lots of question marks over diallo already, he hasn't looked great, lots of casual loose passes from him giving away possession, he is in a new league though and only 22

So will we persist with the high press high drain game that's been proven to be high risk & easily countered or come to the "table" with something fresh?

And that name is Tesco value 😜

Hypothetically if Ralph gets in four or five signings of his own choice & we still fail to win a game in our first ten games..... Who is to blame?.... Players? Manager? The owner? The fans?...... Lady Luck?

15 million plus and obafemi can go... Failed to deliver on any potential

Super stars of the championship or Scottish League maybe! I really find Djenepo frustrating as he has all the attributes of a top player just can't get any kind of consistency ala Redmond!

Next season will be the real season to judge Ralph will he be able to recapture our early form from this season proving that it wasn't just a one off period where we got extremely lucky or will we keep playing the latter style of losing 90% of our games and generally not turning up. It will decide his and our future ultimately

Where they his transfers or somone else's advice? A lot of our transfers remain to be seen wether they will turn out good KWP aside

Some papers saying Eddie Howe has turnt down Celtic as will be offered saints job next season if Ralph fails to get off to a good start! Nonsense or an element of truth to it?

Spurs want 150 million for Kane (who is 28 next month)..... Let that sink in, not sure how long he has left on his contract assume he signed a new one recently. I know ings only has a year or so left on his contract and is some way behind Kane, how far ahead is Kane in terms of ability? I don't see a £100 million odd difference?

This he is worth more to us as someone that can keep us in the premier league & we will certainly struggle to find a proven double figures goalscorer in this league, wind the contract out at least it buys us time to start looking now. He will probably go though if the price is right as we are a proven selling club, nothing will change till we get a new owner with some ambition & genuine interest in the club.

If/when ings does go would you say that A) he's had his best seasons at saints & injuries will creep back in as he is 29 in July Or B) the best is definitely yet to come and he will score even more goals than at saints with better players around him in a better team.

Out of interest how much is ings worth In the current market with a year or so left of his contract? Would we be looking at 20 million or a lot less than that? Really if we don't get at least 20 million then it's not worth us selling him as he could be the difference between relegation (He basically kept us up this season!) and we should make him see his contract out but then do we want a player who doesn't if we are honest really want to be here?

Question: does Ralph have sound judgement over player transfers? Both Theo & Minamino haven't played that well if we are totally honest yet he is keen that we sign them both. Is it more that those players are now are level and what we have become? Liverpool also want more than the 8 million they paid for minamino. KWP seems to be one of the few sound signings we've completed, dejenepo underwhelming & Redmond is well....... Redmond

Vesterguard is a funny one he is capable of a world class long and accurate cross field ball to our winger which very few can do & he is decent at clearances likes to get forward at time to join in the attack (both good and bad) the bad side is he has zero pace so if his positioning isn't perfect we get caught out he is also prone to huge lapses of concentration from his casual nature. He is definitely better than bednarek & Stephens at the moment but looks like he's definitely going to another club. Where is our next van dyke? Even if we could sign somone 50% as good it would be what we need!

corrected it for you

I do respect his obvious passion but it was a bit cringe have to admit, just showed that we are weak & beating liverpool once was like winning the league for us!

no from me It's a huge step up from scottish league & no prior experience of premier league... not that RH had any but he did have german league which is higher quality than scotland..... not that it has helped much! .... that said could Calumn Davidson do any worse?
