Saint Fan CaM

I’m hoping he’s been targeted for the Chumpionship and we’ve got him early to try him out in the new look side Juric is building. At that price that would make sense - otherwise it’s another daft SR experiment trying to match EPL quality on the cheap, albeit low risk.

You do know that we’ll be playing Championship football next season right? 😂 It’s a big dilemma for the club - a striker that is likely not going to contribute goals in this league for the remainder of this season and has scar tissue on scar tissue so might be ineffective next season as a result - release or keep in the hope he can re-create his form next season following a torrid time in the EPL and approx. 2 years older? Its a really tough call - him or Archer?

Another SR fook-up then. Amateurs.

Don’t think those players have enough about them to get us into the play-offs let alone auto’s. Then there’s the scar tissue…

Me too - big white capitals on red caps - Make Us Great Saints Again…MUGS. Would look awesome all around the ground.

I’m not saying it was a bad move or that there were other options. Of course there wouldn’t be at this stage. I just doubt he’ll do ‘well enough’ for them to want to retain him if they win promotion and in that case he’ll be back with us and any other losers from this season that we’re unable offload. This squad is damaged - I don’t want him back…

I’m delighted he’s gone. The point I originally made (several posts ago) was that there’s little guarantee that they’ll retain him going into the Prem if they get promotion. He’ll end up back with us which would be terrible for us and indeed the player. Let’s hope for all parties it all works out and he’s not still bloating the squad at the end of the summer window.

Agree…madness.

Hang on, that’s exactly what we did do - and he was shit.

Based on the entirely possible scenario that we continue to plummet into the depths of the Championship, I’m trying to be as sanguine as possible about our demise. In a strange kind of way I’m intrigued about the potential actions Juric and SR have got lined up to exorcise the shiteness demons that have pervaded the club for several seasons now. I hope that we see some radical changes to the squad in getting shot of the habitual losers like Stephens, Bednarek, Bree, Aribo, Armstrong, Downes, Manning, Smallbone, Fraser etc. The only current starting players I’d likely keep are Rambo, THB, Wood, KWP, Fernandes, Dibling, Archer, Suga and hopefully Charles and Big Les.

That’s a possibility, but I doubt it…his day is done otherwise why loan him out? One season of mediocrity - not sure that’s going to do it, otherwise why not just buy the player now if they’re that certain? Fact is there’s a big question mark over his ability to perform in the Prem (or indeed after a very poor season with us, there’s a case to be slightly pessimistic about his ability to perform at Championship level).

Absolutely. Even if he scores a hatful for them (unlikely) and they’re promoted, they’ll know exactly what will happen in the Prem to him and they’ll have no obligation to retain him so he’ll be stinking out Staplewoo while we offer him up. Then we’ll get to the end of the summer with no interest at our price point and he’ll be back in our Championship squad.

WTF does it matter? He’ll be dropped next game for scoring a goal. 😏

My word even our best players have caught the shiteness bug!

😂😂😂 Bedders 😂😂😂

Big Les - saviour! 😜😂

Big Les is putting in a better display than Downes already. KWP in the book. Manning on…lovely.

Honestly, Armstrong is so far from looking like a Prem player it’s unreal.

Love footie, love Saints - hate this fucking team and what this club has become. And as I write that one of our best players (KWP) stands off the winger and guess what…goal. Just hopeless.

There is still no effective attacking intent in our play and I really thought Juric would sort that out. He hasn’t.

Good goal from the Forest lad. Does everything in attack that we don’t because we fanny about far far too much.

Maybe not, maybe that played a part, but that doesn’t alter the fact that at this stage of our already dire season, I’d rather see our own worthy U-21’s blooded than waste time & space on a loanee.

You - the conversation was geared to this window and my point was I would prefer giving worthy U-21’s a chance rather than loanees, to which you suggested loanees were the preference previously and I countered that loanees like Cornet didn’t exactly improve anything. Keep up. 😉

Ask yourself why they wanted to leave?! Maybe it was something to do with blocked pathways or something?

So you’ve rather have someone like Cornet in the squad, than Sam A-A or Ballard or a couple of the other very promising youngsters on the books? Not for me.
