difficult to come by? Hakim Ziyech son put the reddies on the table

Austin Out, Van D Out, In Ziyech Bas Dost Job Done

Our attack is the problem it isn't rocket science is it? We have talent up top in the form of Gabbiadini who currently we know has the ability to put the ball in the net, The issue is he has nobody capable of linking up and putting in a defense splitting ball to get on the end of. He must be really frustrated you watch him in recent games and he is doing the right thing by making clever runs but is becoming isolated because nobody has to the tools or capabilities to play to the strengths of him. You look at our midfield and we have players who are to similar who play cautious defensive football. What we need is a Lallana type who has the natural flair and creativity. Him and Mane were not replaced adequately sure we have Boufal yes he has the potential and can change a game but he is still learning the trade and is currently to inconsistent. Now alot of people keep banging on about Ziyech but if you think about it logically he is exactly the final piece of the jigsaw this squad is missing the creative outlet. Stick £35 million down and go get him! that would be a proper Mane replacement. Would he ever come to Saints though?

Not replacing Mane, Wanyama, Pelle adequately has cost us. We have got in players such as Redmond who quite frankly might have potential but how long will it take for the talent to surface if it even does? It might be better to scrap this transfer model or minimize it and say bring in one or two players with potential / future players. Then focus more on established players that have a track record of actually having the ability to score or assist in the Premier. Might cost us more in Wages but currently I feel this is what is holding us back. Key first signing to fit this mould Theo Walcott..... Has a history of scoring makes sense.

Bump this thread for later viewing guaranteed Leicester will finish higher. We will be stuck with Bellgringo playing dross....

Agreed what happened to the desire, commitment and passion to win? Being a Saints fan presently I get more passion dropping my guts....

Players look disinterested and look like they can't be bothered to play for him. What happened to the high pressing, Hugh tempo football we used to serve up? Been saying it for weeks this new manager is toilet! I'm dreading when we meet some tougher teams we quite frankly going to be smashed...

Feeling optimistic 2-0 Saints

I would go with http://lineupbuilder.com/?sk=fx6by5

Danny Ings on loan is being touted... Surely not what we need to injury prone. I'd rather see that Barcelona lad.

Called karma Koeman is like a broken record clearly has lost the dressing room. "Today we showed de Qualities" No son you got smashed.....

Saints fans need a reality check. Give the guy a fair chance to bed in sacking him now would be pointless. Do you think he is immediately going to make us a top 6 club...... We are a mid table team at best anything else is a bonus. People need to stick tampons back in and actually back our manger and get behind the players. I couldn't give a damm if we finish 16th..... If we are still in the prem who cares.

Put him up top and get some decent balls in there. Guaranteed he would bang them in..... Needs a run of games. I wouldn't sell unless we are guaranteed a upgrade.

(OUT) Van D - £50 Million+ (IN) Ziyech - 25 Million Bas Dost - 20 Million Any Money left over Walcott Job Done

Back Pellegrino in Jan with the intention of addressing the attacking issues. Why pull the trigger now? It's not like someone else is going to magically polish turds. We at times struggled last season to stick the ball in the net. Maybe the conclusion is our players are average.... New manager wouldn't make a difference. Sell Van D! and reinvest up top. He isn't going to be the same player whilst he remains.....

Got a feeling we will beat them 2-1

Rafa for me makes sense I would approach him now! promise him some transfer funds in Jan. Get rid of Pellgrino seen enough i'm unconvinced he is the man to take us forward.

Yep I'd build around Lemina, Romeu, Boufal and Gabba the rest can f## off

Call it bed wetting I'm calling it being realistic this manager is a clown. Some serious changes also need tyo be made to coaching, tactics and players. Time to sell the deadwood, bring in a passionate manager and some players who want to wear the shirt. Redmond Van D Boufal Austin I'd sell the lot and rebuild...... They are toilet!

Agreed just pay 30 million sobs and get Ziyech.....

So what is the conclusion? Our attack is toilet! Is it the players or coaches?

Get him back he was immense for us offered more than just putting the balk in the net. Superb hold up play and bringing others into the game. To say he was awful..... People must be deluded because currently up top we are gash....

Given it some thought we should do everything to get Theo back. Would give the whole team a lift another option up top. Knows where the goal is intact could see him and Gabba as the main strike force. £15 million get it done....

Everton are sniffing around Bas Dost I reckon we should go for him aswell...

Kasper Dolberg fits the mould young massive potential.
