No not him although we have been linked. Ghezzi or something?

Reckon Targett will go after Fulham improve offer. Forster out with Gallagher. Guess - Coming in just the one which is a right winger that plays in Germany - name escapes me.

Bring your boots as you might get a game up front.

Would prefer Sturridge as he has looked good so far but he is fragile I know.

What’s the point of buying players if we don’t play them? Can only see our new CB playing and Armstrong.

Yes it’s a real shame. I knew Gibson would not join us as Boro played hardball. Whether Vestergaard was the second option I have no idea. Anyway you get slagged off as people call you bull.

This is the same as F1. Put all the drivers in the same car and the results would be totally different. No way would Pep or Klippity get Saints in the top 4 with the players we have.

I’m under the impression that playing 3 centre backs allows you to bomb two wingbacks down the flanks pumping crosses in the box. This is where we have a problem as we often find Austin out on the flanks looking for the ball or Gabbi getting out jumped by the centre backs. We should be setting up with Gabbi on the last man attacking the goal with his pace from around the half way line.

If we did go for Rachid Ghezzal do you think he would be more a Tadic than a Boufal replacement? I reckon he could be the next signing but does he excite you?

Another fine mess. We are wasting far too much money these days which is a shame as the club is run smoothly 80% of the time.

Could be right, but I’m also a believer than a damn good coaching team can improve these average players and get them playing as a good team.

You would need a defensive expert for things like this. Its like coaching a penalty taker, you would bring in MLT wouldn’t you?

Two managers will be banned from the touch line for 6 matches after an incident. A Liverpool player will be the first to kick a ball out of St Mary’s. Vardy will refuse to play for Puel. Arsenal will win the premiership at a canter.

I expect Hughes is thinking to himself that he needs to find out how Lampard is getting his player playing for him.

Never seen Redmond play on the right.

Like for like but on the right side. Surely that rules out Sisto and I think Promes was a lefty too?

Maybe a donkey as well so we can remember Carillo?

Totally agree. The FA should bring a rule in that all clubs must have 5 homegrown/English youngster starting a match. Then we will see England winning something for once. PS I know the FA won’t do anything because the champions league is more important to clubs.

Not bad teams but it’s lacking that fearful player that has teams running scared at the back. Promes, Mane, Sterling, Mbappe to name a few. Redmond is suppose to be that player but he scares nobody.

I reckon we are watching the situation regarding strikers that won’t feature in the first team of a premiership club. Step forward either Welbeck, Sturrridge or Giroud. Already Sturridge has had 45 minutes for Liverpool so maybe we had a scout watching?

Have we ever sold a player after one season? My thoughts are we will see a great improvement from him but next season we will struggle to hold on to him as we always do.

We don’t put all our eggs in one basket so let’s hope we have others in the pipeline.

Regarding our spend and received amounts etc... Most deals are done with installments so we probably have not had 50% of the VVD money, not paid up all of the Carillo money to Monaco and so on. I expect our next signing depends on those leaving the club as things are always tight.
