On balance the rest of what you say is the more compelling case.

Hope that’s not the case. Need to nail the CF position, his time at Preston seemed pretty underwhelming in terms of goals.

L difference, Xg’s etc Why do I feel a disconnect with the modern game ? (Yes, I’m aware of the serious point you make…, but what a load of bollocks)

Wonder if Juric needs a GK at Monza. Or two.

Looks better there than as a shirt

I think you missed the gist of his post, Hope the recovery from the humour bypass operation is going well.

Agree, definitely some recency bias in some answers. No issues with Ramsdale from his time with us or his choice and manner of him leaving. During a shocking season I can only recollect one goal conceded where I thought he was at fault ( first at home to Wolves). If Peretz hadn’t signed in June I’d have been happy with Ramsdale coming back in, altjough highly unlikely of course. Also agree with comments re Peretz return, the one we most wanted and great to have him. Seems a good influence (as I think Ramsdale is also). Deciding which is ‘better’ is a closer run thing. Peretz had a few moments last season (Preston away, the goals conceded at Doncaster) to give concern. Ramsdale has proven himself in the EPL. Perhaps Peretz has the greater potential. Happy with either as No 1 choice, but need to sort the No2 out.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone suggesting ‘bad apple’ etc or poor attitude. He wanted to stay in the EPL to protect his chances of World Cup selection, and we didn’t want his hefty wages after relegation. I don’t suspect he’s kicking up a rumpus in the background, that seems out of character. In fairness I think the same can probably be said of Bazunu.

Hopefully we’re on the right track

Good work. You ought to get some produced,with some donations going to Saints Foundation from the sales

But at least the Barbie kit was just that, a single colour of (“Barbie” if you like) pink not a psychedelic swirl of mismatching colours. What the fuck is it meant to be ? And who writes this guff about replicating the Solent ? Are they on something like the kit designers or just thinking we’re fucking idiots ?

Meanwhile, Tonda is probably sat at home and like the rest of us wondering why they cancelled Emmerdale and Coronation St to show this shit.

I’m pretty sure in the late 60’s some Saints players would be wearing shirts with a white patch and number sewn onto the back. Others with just a number. Used to wonder why. Perhaps that was the easiest way of sharing the shirts if needed in the squad as they were 1-11 and not sized to each individual

Long was essentially signed as third choice last season as I recall. Reading the Norwich fans reviews it seems he’s fine providing not called upon to play. He might be great as a training partner but if Petetz is injured or suspended then we could be buggered. Need an option we’re confident of playing if needed. Fully agree with later comments that we need to move Ramsdale and Bazunu on first though. Especially Ramsdale with the salary burden.

Depends on who and what we replace them with. A reliable back up GK would be useful too.
