Whoever we are pursuing, there are seemingly zero links in the media about them atm.

In queso emergency, sign a striker who’s the real Munster. Ricotta get through this!

Set your mind at cheese guys, James is a Brie-lliant back up who knows Jones ‘tactics’. We just need to come to cheddar and support the team to feta times.

As expected!

“Trying to sign a striker”

Bournemouth will likely outbid us for Semenyo now 😂

Reject a move to Saints at your peril…

I wonder if the two players we bid £25m for were this window or if that’s still Gakpo and Ramos? If it is this window then surely as that’s what Bompey paid for Jackson he’s one of them, with them just offering more wages? Regarding the use of Twitter by fans to moan about signing a striker, majority of premier league teams will have been doing the same? We are bottom of the league with less than a goal per game. It’s obvious to someone without a Twitter account we are desperate for goals 😂

I recall this guy reportedly rejected Saints and Everton as he didn’t want to be in a relegation battle. Are we really less attractive that Rennes? Does this free up Sulemana to move now?

Are Everton just following in our shadow all window?

Doesn’t look like he’s played 90 mins recently for Rennes, lots of cameos off the bench. Looks like he’s absolutely rapid though.

We seem set on bringing in a wide forward don’t we?

Definitely a gamble, I’d agree with that. He did seem to be our first choice though, so it’s obviously disappointing to see him go to Bournemouth. We will see how he does there soon enough and whether we were right to walk away. Orsic looked terrible last night didn’t he? Offered no defensive workrate (not his primary role tbf, but was needed with Newcastle’s pace in Almiron) and he just looked lost positionally. Didn’t really see the explosive pace he displayed in Qatar either. Very underwhelming full debut but it’s far too early to write him off.

I expected more from SR in this window, as the article says on Jackson. “Southampton are sleeping”. Blind hope that we have some rabbits coming out of the hat in the next 6 days, losing belief though as top targets (reportedly) haven’t worked out, again!

So we basically hesitated over £3m and lost the guy we’ve been trying to sign all window to a relegation rival. Marvellous.

Does feel like Moffi and Jackson were our top targets and we were outbid for both, plus outbid for wages on Ings. SR are clearly willing to spend but not paying over the odds. Which obviously doesn’t suit the January market and our current desperate position! I suppose the Danjuma and even Mudryk situations show how difficult the window is to complete deals for wanted players. I’m done with Che after last night latest 1v1 miss. He is not good enough to play as a lone striker in the PL. we simply must bring someone better in, even if just a loan, to have any hope.

Perhaps an opportunity to bring in a proper striker has presented itself, causing us to cool off interest in Jackson as the money is going there instead? There’s no reason you’d sign for Bournemouth over Saints (unless they are paying crazy wages?). There’s also not going to be a budget to spend €25m on 2 attacking players. Wishful thinking, I know… but we've been linked to Jackson for so long and it’s been dragging its feet for a while. Whether that’s negotiations or perhaps there are other irons in the fire we wanted to try.

Any striker links, all gone very quiet???
