Saint Fan CaM

I have a funny feeling we’ll score late in the game which will end 1-1 and go to pens which we’ll cock up. Obviously my fervent wish is that we shock everyone and do ‘em convincingly like we did City. Just play well on the front foot Saints and do us proud.

Anyone else concerned that the signing of Onuachu signals more hoofball or are we all agreed it doesn't matter how we stay up?

Sky Sports still only reporting Sulimana and nothing on Onuachu yet so a long way to go yet.

I think irrespective of any NJ involvement, you have to say that SR have really done a great job if these deals come off. Puts a load of pressure onto NJ and the team though - our Prem survival is now completely in their hands with the support provided.

Hilarious news of the day - despite not playing one game this season, Vestergaard has apparently dug his heels in and refused a loan from Leicester after they agreed a deal! LOL - they're really in trouble methinks.

Can't see Paul Onuachi coming to us now - left too late to get to the asking price and even now I think it'll take at least £20m to prise him away from Genk. Big experienced guy is just what we need.

OM still don't seem to have got Vitanha over the line and our name still in the hat it seems.

Re-evaluation - can't see this happening now we have Sulemana and a good job too - he's not really what we need now.

I would take Ayew - always seemed to score against us didn't he?

Indeed..see this a huge risk if he doesn't end up being better than what we have already, although I suspect there'll be a release clause in there somewhere if were relegated. Think the striker issue is even more imperative now, if ever that was possible.

Can't see it happening even if we do have until midnight (as it's an international signing)?

There's always hope - but it's diminishing fast, although Sulemana has apparently chosen us over Everton.

Leicester about to sign striker Opoku according to Sky. Bournemouth got a CB from Kiev - £24m. They're going for it, whatever that is.

Where are you flying from - Australia??? 🤣

Couldn’t make it up could you?! Having said that, believing any of the media click bait rubbish today will be a waste of time. If we hear it on a credible source such as Sky or the club OS fine, but otherwise it’s not worth the Rennie! 🤣

Turn your back for 2 hours and the whole transfer outlook has changed dramatically and not in a good way! Think it’s just a case of hold on tight and wait for the inevitable disappointment tomorrow evening. Double disappointment after Newcastle inflict defeat on us.

Would Vitinha get a work permit? Seems like a plausible excuse for not getting it over the line and turning attention to Ayew and lesser names?

As I said, I liked Ralph and I agree he is a superior Manager than Jones, but that doesn't remove the fact that his time had run it's course which is why he was sacked.

Still a deal that we should be all over to get done and quickly IMO. Plus the Spurs lad Moura (sp).

I would have liked to see more dynamic play - less backwards/sideways passing - and more goals. I would like to go to a game of football at home thinking, "we've got a chance of winning" today. If Ralph's results were that great then why are we where we are? Jones has not made things better admittedly, but that's no reason to swing back and suddenly declare Ralph to be successful because he wasn't.

Two? What about Perraud - he’s not too shabby?!

I’m not sure where that came from - I can tell you as a paid up ST holder, I became very disappointed with the turgid football and terrible results, so much so that there was little reason to renew this season. I wanted Ralph to be a success - liked the chap - but a success he was not and ultimately left us at the foot of table.

Ralph was not a particular success in the sense his football was awful for a long time, he lost lots games including an unprecedented number at home and he presided over some terribly negative ‘records’ such as the 9-0 losses. Admittedly he needed to be backed with a better striker, but that’s easy to identify in hindsight.

The reason given is it no longer offers enough space. Must be all that stuff Jones is talking about, although hot air does tend to expand so that’s my theory…too much hot air, not enough substance and too much stuff. #genius.

With all respect, it’s all stuff and nonsense. Tick tock.
