So come on Alps, how many players do we need? If you were manager, given we have 20 or so decent players how many more players would you sign and whom, money no object and assuming everyone we wanted to sign wanted to join us, realistic targets of course.

Isn't that the same as every club in the world? Look at Chelsea without Drogba and Lampard,Arsenal without Fabregas, would Barcelona be the same if Xavi and Messi were out injured? Every club has 2 or 3 key players, you can just keep signing players in case someone gets injured or suspend. Right now as proven on saturday we have 20 good players for this league and good enough to get us out of it, one or two extra players of quality wouldn't hurt but the constant "we need to strengthen" and just adding squad and cover players like some want is ridiculous. All you end up with is a huge wage bill and a bloated average squad full of unhappy, unmotivated players, just like our relegation season from the premier league.

It's nothing of the sort. I'm just keen to know how you can have such strong opinons on what we do and dont need and on players and teams performances when you've never actually seen them. I wouldn't call that a ****ing contest, more interested in you backing up your opinions and how you have come to form them, so please, in interest of the credibility of your opinions, indulge me.

Thanks. So you going to tell us what first hand evidence you have that our squad needs strengthening and also you assessment that Chaplow offers more to the team than Schniderlin, as per your post on the Schniderling thread?

Yeah you have got some.

I rest my case.

in my ideal window i'd like us to keep everything we have got inc Puncheon provided he wants to be here, sign up Gully and sign Charlie Austin, plus a winger if Puncheon wants out. If we dont get Austin no dramas, we are still good enough to go up as champions. We certainly dont need cover/squad players that are worse than we have got just to keep certain people happy.

And to the "Liverpool" singing, they responded with "who the f*ck do you support?" and all the mongs went silent. Should sing this when people sing "Play up Pompey" at us.

we dont need anymore defenders this season, what he have is plenty good enough for promotion thank you. We will need to look at it in the summer if promotion is achieved though.

Yeah, only a personality transplant could stop you being a bellend.

Good lad, i like a man who stands by what he says.

Please, no wigs, face paints, red & white balloons, jester hats, chants of "we support or local team" or "Liverpool" Lets be a normal club with normal fans and treat it like a normal game.

I presumed you wouldn't be going Jamie, as the FA Cup means nothing to you this season.

/\ there wont be a general sale, it'll be STH's first, then database.

That "liverpool" singing was one of my most embarassing moments at a football stadium. Why do it? Pointless and embarassing.

NO, not really, it was one that just stuck out as funny. Like Alps comments the other day that after Huddersfield we "all know we will f*ck it up against Exter and Dagenham" Opps.

I am the best fan we have but my sister in laws cousin had a 48th birthday party yesterday which meant i couldn't go, i have work commitments 3 out of 4 saturdays, had 5 christenings and 19 funerals to attend this season alone had no money due to spending far to much on toy robots. Work wanted me to go in on the 29th when we were orignally due to play Charlton but as i am such a loyal fan my boss said i can have the day off. I've also just had £33 inheritance come through from one of the funerals i have attended so can afford the ticket and booking fee for this one, i just hope i can get one, if i cant it'll be outrageous.

You cant make points like that on here mate, It's mainsteam or nothing thanks.

Agreed. A lot of people will only be there to see Man Utd. FACT.

Arse, despite being an extremely loyal fan i probably wont be on the database as my mates always got me my tickets for the one time since relegation from the PL i have been, i can assure there is no more loyal fan than me though. Looks like i could be f*cked.

It all depends on which team they are going to watch and support. If i go, undecided yet as it will bring out all the part timers and mongs, then i will be going to watch Southampton. It'll be interesting to see the crowd for this one. My one big hope is that rather than the embarassing "Liverpool" Chants to the Utd fans last time the 20k regualars that will be at SMS, sing to the 10k part timers in the home end "You only came to see Utd"

do you think there will be a purchasing restriction. Obvously STH's first but what about people like me? I am a loyal saints fan but due to work, money and 48 family funerals, birthdays and Barmitzvahs i couldn't afford to go this season or to the Charlton game originally on that day but now we have Man Utd i have managed to find £30 from somewhere, do you think i'll get a ticket?

Very good.

Exactly my point, i'd love us to sign a player or two better than what we have. Unless it's someone that is going to improve the first XI then it really will be signing players for the sake of it. THere is no need for all these cover plays some are obsessed with.

Read my comments above, no squad is perfect. I have answered your questions in repsonse to Alpine in thread numbers 53 and 70 on this thread.
