We will sign a GK. 

a 3rd keeper though not a starting one.

Why would we buck the trend and buy players better than we have?

Exactly the problem with this club's transfer strategy, you are spot on. How many players have they signed that are instant names in the first 11? None.

Another waste of money then, that’s what Alex McCarthy is for. Bazunu needs competition.

Fernandes probably the only player since THB and Downes.

I honestly reckon that the club expected Stewart to finally be the main man this season so they’ve half arsed it with the Downs signing, complacently thinking we had enough up front now Stewart was back fit so have signed downs to be a bit part player, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous but would explain why we only spent 8m on a position the club desperately needed. Stewart scoring against Arsenal probably lulled these complacent clowns into thinking he was gonna be the main man this season so we only need a substitute striker to beef the options up, rather than an actual top striker for this level: kind of makes sense now in their fucked up way of thinking. 
whilst these utter losers are in charge we will never fully return to being a regular premier league club, if we ever return at all under them. Absolutely fucking clueless from top to bottom when it comes to identifying the right players for the club to succeed

I think we all agree though that whoever comes in they need to be first team ready and better than what we have. The promising signings have been made, it’s not improve the first team signings we need.

Big week ahead, need pace and creativity in the side urgently. Much of our attacking and wide players are workhorses, plenty of effort but lack that something extra that is required to open up well organised defences.

Need 2 wide players, a 10 and a striker IMO, though going by Still's post match comments i don't see us bring in another CF. He seemed to be of the opinion the problem was the crap service they were getting and that the ones we have would start scoring if the lack of creativity was addressed.

Been on holiday so not really heard anything but will hopefully find out more when back Tuesday. Don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure we need 3 or 4 in the door though and about the same to go out (Aribo, Smallbone, ABK, Sugawara and Matsuki (loan).

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we don’t target the right players. Sport Republic try to be cocky and clever, their success rate has got to be only 5%. Most of the signings in thier era have been dogshit.

Take Leeds as an example, big club, in the Championship buying semi-experienced fringe Premier League players: Dan James, Joe Roden, Ethan Ampadu etc. 
Players that will dominate a league like this and kick on.

Look at our signings, a couple of untried and unknowns from a foreign league who have “potential”.

Southampton are a big fish in the Championship, so why is the club philosophy to buy untried players from abroad?

If you’re serious about promotion you go and get players that will get you promoted. It’s not rocket science.

I’d definitely suggest a certain goalkeeper too - Ramsdale?! Most definitely a starter!

Get the Stoke keeper.  He is better blindfolded than Bazunu.

Forgot about him so fair enough. Not great though that that's the only two!
