Convict Colony Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 We need quality striker asap please and a midfielder who can score goals! Think we can all agree that we've been talking about lack of central midfield goals from JWP/Davis for the last 2 seasons and we definitely have needed a clinical striker since Ricky left our current lot need too many chances and if Tadic/Madic are off form supplying them then we have no chance.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 Where has the ambition gone, have become less than mediocre Careful, question the ambition of the club and people will round on you. However, I would suggest that if the ambition remains then the decision making for the last 12 months has been awful. Either way, it's not good.

Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 Les Reed is to blame for not investing in the squad. He needs to support Koeman in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 relegation battle is on. big time Yup. Only plus side that might come out of this is is might snap the club out of this sense of self-satisfaction and complacency it has about itself. Players need to work harder, so do the staff but we also need to attract some better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangy Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 Just no words really,its painful to watch no threat at all up front,JWP and Davis are like a poor mans Gerrard and Lampard in the sense that it just doesn't work. A Striker and a CAM that can actually create something/score,stop being bellends and searching Europes bargain bins for "potentially" decent players,we need something now.All this talk about J-Rod and Pelle being fit is laughable,J-rod was absolute pony when he returned and looked so far off the pace it's unreal,he will take another 2-3 months before he is even ready to get back to where he should be if he does and we all know Pelle is hit and miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 The large turnover of players was always going to backfire at some point, add on some injuries and poor form and you go from 4th at the start of the calendar year to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 Time to let Wanyama go. He has become a liability and lost us the game, or at least the chance of a point. We now have to play the next match with a weakened midfield, although it might present Reed with an opportunity to put himself in the frame. Also Mane did us no favours either with his poor discipline meaning that Koeman did not put him on until the 80th minute. With Pelle and Rodriguez injured, we had few enough attacking options as it was, without Mane pratting about. Typically of the last few games, we dominate and have enough chances to win the game, but suffer from really poor finishing. Long ought to have scored a brace with the chances he had. Both Fonte and Van Dijk made bad errors that would have been punished by better strikers. We really do need to strengthen urgently in this transfer window, or we will be fighting to survive the drop if we carry on like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 We won't get relegated, as proved by the 4-0 win over Arsenal, on our day we are a very good team, and talk of sacking Koeman is ludicrous. My anger is not with him but with the board who are sitting on their ársés whilst every other team is strengthening. It seems obvious to everyone that we need a proven goalscorer and a creative attacking midfielder apart from those with the power to do something about it.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 January, 2016 Share Posted 2 January, 2016 (edited) 3 goals in 7 games around the 4-0 Arsenal win is extremely poor and illustrates we need reinforcements now. If it's money we need, sell Wanyama now to fund some of it. Koeman's point is valid in is being the only side to make a profit from transfers as it hints at under investment.

So no malice to her at all but to move forward we need extra investment. When you say investment, do you mean a new owner willing to literally spend his own money buying players and paying wages (neither of which can be done due to the current rules, I think, although I might be wrong) without ever wanting that money paid back? If you mean, spend money by going into further debt, either to the owner or someone else, then the £60m debt we have is more than enough thanks.
