Aribo, Aribo! The Saints fans shouted from the remaining stand of the once magnificent St Mary’s Stadium, after their talisman 35 year old striker slotted home his 10th goal of the 2029 League 2 season. It’s all looking roses for Saints now sitting in 15th in the table.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....but would putting him up front be a sign of desperation or an acknowledgement that he could actually do a job for us? Given Downs is beyond awful, given Aribo is pretty good with the ball at his feet, I would like to think they've used the international break to test him out as our centre forward.

Aribo needs to be given a go up top. Hopefully the pressers question Still on this. 

As we have no one else!

How many players have we got who have scored a goal in a European club final ?

I'm not a fan of Aribo but he is big, he can hold a ball up and his biggest asset is he cannot possibly be any worse than the American fella.

It wont happen of course but whilst he's sat on his arse picking up a big salary you might just try and make use of him - desperate measures and all that !

Has anyone thought that the reason he's not playing is because he's said he doesn't want to be here? Hopefully the question will be asked, but it did seem almost certain he'd go, he hasn't for whatever reason but if he's not wanting to play then I think it's fair he hasn't been in the squad (although annoying for Saints).

Frankly, if he's still recieving a wage packet every week, he needs to be available to play.
