It’s not an unreasonable interpretation of events.

No PEH?

An interesting article on Deadline Day with agent Kiko Rodriguez (Jay's dad) https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2019/02/01/sports/soccer/01reuters-soccer-england-agents-feature.html

World class Puel must have had a few nominations.

The same board that was in place when the signings were made?

Ralph H also said, on several occasions, that we were looking to bring people in. That would suggest he wanted additions but let's pretend that never happened.

Have we got 11?

Why does it need to be a panic buy? We’ve known that the January window was coming up so our team responsible have had plenty of time to target acquisitions in a calm and measured manner. That is their job. There should be no ‘panic’ about the process whatsoever.

I'm assuming you quoted the wrong person as that reply doesn't relate to anything in my post.

Why does it have to be a 'risky' buy? We have a department responsible for identifying targets and conducting due diligence is part of that remit. 2 spots could be the difference between maintaining Permier League status and free fall relegation. Ralph has given the impression that we are bringing people(s) in. I'd be more worried if we are having him over and the consequences of that.

Ralph thought he was getting player(s) in.

I really hope Ralph is truly on board with the current scenario.

I changed it for you.

Two draws and three wins in their last five games. They’ll be confident.

Bringing the ball out is his best attribute but first and foremost he’s a defender. Unfortunately he’s just not very good at that part.

Did he tell Ralph?

He was nothing of the sort according to Blackmore.

Slimani? (Don’t shoot the messenger) https://apple.news/Aojm5mzM9Q3SbKaRvKoWCXA

Stomach injury...?

Brilliant as always Glen.

Interesting interview with Ralph https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11615639/ralph-hasenhuttl-on-southamptons-transfer-plans-new-rules-and-playing-piano He’s quite a character.

Just reading the SkySports article on Sarri and the lack of changes to the Chelsea line up. Interesting to see that Saints are second in the most line-up changes. A reflection on our struggles this year and change of Manager.

I see Silva has categorically said there will be no signings in January so that seems to rule out the Cedric move to the toffees.
