Agree with the above the youngsters are an added bonus. First priority should be experience and leaders especially with the spine of the team. Needs some lads to come in hit the ground running prefably with experience of this league. Any players apart from Tarkowski and Mee that fill this category? I'd also look at Jack Cork Was sad when we got rid. Always thought he was a tidy no nonsense keep it simple old school player.

Bournemouth are releasing Gary Cahill could he do a job for a season or so and instill a bit of leadership?

For height how about William Troost-Ekong at Watford. Moussa Sissoko on a free? Controversial I have always rated and liked Jack Cork think he is a tidy no nonsense footballer much better than the shit we have in midfield. Emanuel Dennis could do a job? 10 goals and 6 assists last season. Maxwel Cornet touted as having a 17 million release clause. Could we shift Walcot, Redmond and get him? Or go for Dwight Mcneil? John Swift at Reading.

If we are going in for any former players. Surely we would be better off with Bale as opposed to Ox?

New Gk someone who can actually distribute the ball better and start off attacks. New Central Defender someone with experience and can lead and hit the ground running. ( Tarkowski ) Fulback position maybe okay? Could get Brandon Williams on loan for cover. New Def Mid to understudy Romeu. A unit that can break up play someone not lightweight and a good passer to connect the attacks. Two Wingers Dwight Mcneil and someone else Tete? Look for some creativity someone in the mould of Tadic. If forest don't come up then go in for Johnnson or that lad at Hull. Strikers: Broja and Long out We can't afford to cut corners here! I would try and get a targetman similar mould to Pelle. And Delap on loan. ( think we need some height in the team )

If we receive a offer that is reasonable I'd offload I think he is just too lightweight at this level.

Let's do the double and bring Bale and the Ox home

Take it to the bedroom ladies for duck sakes.....

Could we exchange Adam Armstrong for that other lad at Blackburn? Johnson at Forrest That Traviner at Middlesbrough Tarkowski and Mcneil at Burnely and maybe that Dutch striker. Leeds go down I'd go in for Gerhardt As for fullback cover could we get Brandon Williams? All the players above I've probably spelt wrong just rushing it

I'd sell the following personally: Long, Stephens, Bednerek, Redmond, Walcott, Djenepo, Tella, Maybe sell / don't rate: Adam Armstrong, Diallo, Tella Only for big money: Salisu and Prowse.

Fantasy thread you are in charge of Saints and need to make key decisions in the summer window. What players would you sell? Who would you bring in to improve the squad? Do you go for youth or experience? Keep things on the cheap or try and sign higher calibre? I love getting your thoughts and insights and it's a bit of fun keep the incomings realistic! :)

Yeah I agree we need a few experienced heads in the team Especially for the spine. The type of players that have a bit of grit and steel and don't fold like deckchairs in a rainstorm once the pressure is on... I concur our mentality is weak. What is the actual deal with our coaching setup? All I can see is we have a few " Jobs for the boys " types..... Why haven't we addressed this and adjust got in some experienced coaching heads? Some of the decisions Ralph is making are baffling. Take the game yesterday our midfield was being overrun as a defensive mid Diallo is too lightweight We were crying out for the presence of Romeu alot earlier.... Ralph just seems to stationary I'm not sure if it's stubbornness but just lacks the foresight to adapt and switch up tatictically when under the cosh.....

The recent run of defeats has been quite eye opening. I don't understand what could of been the catalyst for such a shift in performances? Maybe when Ralph came out and said he was retiring. Could the new owners already have somebody in the background ready to come in? Hence why players currently are have stopping putting in such committed displays because they are waiting for the new regime. Who knows food for thought What I do know is the whole coaching setup needs developing.

Didn't we wear that kit once for Le Tiss testimonial? My dad got me the kit when I was a nipper.

Need somebody to play alongside Salisu. We can't cut corners here this player needs leadership, experience and the ability to hit the ground running. Left back situation could we sign Brandon Williams and then have him rotate with Perraud. Then we will have Livra and KWP as right backs. Next up midfield I personally would sell Djenepo, Redmond, Walcott, We need two decent wingers that again can add a bit of bite and creativity. Striker situation is tricky my own views. Armstrong I don't rate at this level at all if we receive a bid I'd sell. Adams I would keep Broja jury is still on him to be honest. If we are prepared to go in with silly money then I at least hope we have a few backups in mind with the same kind of financial outlay at disposal. Again we can't afford to cut corners goals ultimately are what get you points on the board. Not nesscarily this window but I'd try and identify another Romeu type player perhaps a understudy? But with similar attributes.

Why are we talking about Newcastle who gives a rats ass! any news on in-comings for the Saints.

Do you think we will be getting anyone in? How is the right back situation looking regarding Livramento. Reason I ask is we were scouting that Calvin Ramsay lad at Aberdeen, Bologna going to stick a 3 million bid in surely we should aswell? if he is highly rated. I still think we are also missing a creative tadic type player who can link the attack.

Anyone got a working stream?

What's Ross Barkley up to? I reckon he could do a job

f--k me lads take it to the bedroom..... has anybody got any transfer news?

Djenepo two great opportunities wasted at this level you need to take those chances..... abysmal finishing... Salisu is a unit absolute rock really good at reading the game on another level to Stephens.. Livramento won't be with us for long he looks on another level technical ability wise. Both strikers were meh today We need a number 10 to link the play.

i'm feeling optimistic 4-0 United

Bunch of lemonade sandwiches on here write a player off before he has even put on a shirt..... Our fans embarrassing sometimes

Problem with Saints we have a weak mentality, no leaders take Liverpool for example they have the likes of Milner as soon as one of their young players misplayed a pass he went nuts at him that's the difference we have nobody in our team to lead, organize or inspire when the going gets tough. Look at our team currently he has a bit of steel and bollocks about them? Romeu and that's it..... Our defensive record is abysmal and has been for a while heading into a new season the first priority should of been to strengthen the back four, goal Keeper and Def Mid options...... i'm not talking about slotting in some youth player with the potential to sell on in a few seasons. We need experienced players who can hit the ground running a few solid big units, old fashioned no nonsense get the job done kind of players a few players who don't fold like deck chairs when the going gets tough.... Looking at our team against Everton where is the height? the aerial threat from Set pieces? we have non same as for defensive cover.... That would be my main priority right now two players incoming minimum who can add leadership and experience Cahill? Jones? I know some of you disagree but we desperately are crying out for leadership. Djenepo is it me or every-time this man gets the ball he doesn't look like he even knows what to do with it yes he produces endless step overs but where is the consistency and final end product? he has known just another Boufal Mark 2.0 I don't rate him at all or see what he brings to the team. Regarding the game yesterday our Manager said that Prowse and Romeu were not fully fit? Start Diallo and Armstrong / Tella ...... not rocket science I'm getting fed up with the excuses and the inability to tactically adjust and react to what the opposition is doing on the pitch as soon as the opponent gains any sort of momentum we collectively are a bunch of rabbits caught in the headlights. Like a broken record on repeat letting the teams batter us every second half it's becoming predictable now. You just feel like getting a megaphone and shouting at Ralph " get some subs on now you clown Anyone playing Saints right now must look forward to it with anticipation I mean the team talk is simple sit back let Saints come at us first half and apply pressure second half they will be knackered and will fold like deck chairs..... it's not even funny writing that how predictable we are. Going forwards here is what we need: two players incoming minimum who can lead and organize. lose the reluctance and stubbornness to make adjustments and substitutions. The abilty to change shape mid game and tweak if we are under the cosh A bit of pride and desire My thoughts some you may agree with I'd say give him 10 games and get rid if this continues....

hows about Luciano Spalett
