We dont keep consistently good players, we also dont keep consistently bad players. We keep players who are at our level , mid to lower reaches of the PL ,who can look fantastic on their day but not often enough to be taken from us.

Well if he comes with the fans on board he has a great chance. I have seen plenty similar ( not only atour club)who have arrived with excitement and been damp squibs. What I do like re his character is that he went around and spoke to all the backroom staff from top to bottom. Good sign of him being a decent person

Are you for real??? Lukaku is in the top 5 best forwards in the world, he is a magnificent player.

They wont need it unless they can prise it in between 9-0 Leicester, Friday night, Manchester Utd etc etc

No its not great but that's the way it is, or havent you noticed the scheme of things at our club. They get consistently good and sold, they are inconsistently good and they stay

You will always be disappointed if you expect Saints to keep a player who is consistently good lol He is not above his level, the fans mindset is

Haha

We are going to go around in circles here. Just look at the pre match thread when the team selection is put up. Immediately you have people crying that he has been picked. What chance does he have as the first mistake and its 'get him off' You have lost the argument when you say Eloi is a better bet, or a raw Tella who is the new darling.Tella may be in a years time (play in different roles)but he has to stop diving, refs already have him on the radar. It was Obefemi not long ago who was going to be the latest thing, that has waned. Walcott a better goal threat,well he may have been at onetime, not in the last part of the season he wasnt. I rad on here that he looks fitter so thats good

It is not fans on a forum, it is at the ground where frustrations are let off. As I say hes a Marmite type player and however much we debate neither will change their opinion. I see his positives in how many times he is involved in goals/chances you see him losing the ball or not taking on the whole defence. I also get frustrated with him as I think he should attack the defender more but of course we dont know what his orders are. Ralph likes to explore and move the ball around whilst I would like to be more direct in our attacks. Personally I believe JWP is far too safe in his play and would like to see some defence splitting passes rather than the safe sideways option, again this may be down to he manager

He was player of the season a few years back. Whilst he looks full of self confidence i think it is a cover and can lose it very quickly. It must be pretty tough knowing the fan base is against you before you kick a ball. Please dont say if you are paid 50k a week it shouldn't matter but it does. You only have to see on here that is a poster gets rounded on by a couple of people they get precious. Show him some love and respect and we all will gain, get on his back the first time he doesnt beat 2 players and we get what we sow

Well we can agree on something DT lol

Is he quick minded rather than speedy, he doesnt look to have the build for the rip roaring pace

lol ,are you sure im not Mr Redmond? Pep and me are his greatest admirers

lol

Funny, I cant judge on that from what ive seen. Im surprised Fitzhugh hasnt given us insights as his Son in law plays for them

Really, I didnt see that in him

I respect your opinion, but you are wrong with Redmond, Im surprised that you dont see what he does. If he did everything he would not be with us, but he does a lot of stuff that people do not see. Anyway he is classic Marmite DT has no idea so I dont take his judgement lol.

Did Redmond play on saturday???

That doesn't make us comparable to Swansea in any way or form.

wind up alert, Swansea ffs

Armstrong is getting better by the minute, people seem to think we are chasing a 20 goal guaranteed goal machine with PL experience. He has a price and is a risk, the club I can only assume is being careful. Im as frustrated about it as anyone but I exect we will get Sorloth as nobody else wants him lol

I doubt she got many whistles apart from get off the pitch

we'll soon bring him down to our standard

My brother said to me last night that we are going to be relegated and I was adamant that he was wrong.....if that is the best we can field its good night nurse

Villa taking the high ground lol, I dont believe for 1 second that they would take millions less to uphold the honour of the game
