Of course. But that's a big IF

He seems worth a gamble. But if nowhere near match fit - won't help much at first and then VVD will be back?

He is a sharp finisher. Finds space in tight defences. There is large gaps in ours. Doesn't bode well for the match.

South Coast air is different

Would be a gamble but can anyone seriously see this happening if he turned down Milan? Surely off to China.

Sunderland is now a relegation 6 pointer. Been a while since we had one of those. Lose and we will do well to come back from it.

Under investment. Instead of pushing on with decent signings we've sold and sold. Before the season began we looked a bit light considering we had Europe. Now we can barely piece together a defence.

I just don't know how we failed to get any CB in to replace Fonte.. But even before we lost Van Dijk we were playing awful football. Possibly a new man can inject some belief. But who?

The worry here is we've lost so many games against the "weaker" teams already. We need shock results against Spurs etc to stay up..

Indeed. Even when we had a good defence we looked dire. This defence problem is a new one.

What was he doing shooting there? What a waste from Cedric.

We've wrecked the last 10 mins giving away silly fouls. Played right into their hands today.

9 mins to score 2

Good luck with that. We probably won't even get 1 so I didn't want to appear greedy.

17 mins to score 2 goals

West Ham defence not had much to do really. They look dangerous every time they counter. Need a goal in the next 5 mins..

Cedric getting done again and again. Needs to stay back a bit

Really amazing the number of players we sign that are made of glass.

We are just getting over powered. This could get worse.

3-1 oh dear. How many?

Good effort Jwp

We've been spoilt by consecutive seasons of success. Back to the Saints we know and love

We have some great individuals in our team but over all morale is low. No one believes. Or leads.

Any saints fan who thinks we are safe from relegation needs to look at the facts. Needs a major fightback now to get the win.

Goal. Where was the midfield? We are very weak.
