Would we have won the league with Ramsdale and Onuachu?

[SaintsRoyalty]

Obviously the season hasn’t gone as expected and despite the recent few wins we are still 16 points off Coventry who look like an unstoppable train.

I know most fans would take a playoff place again but I’m pretty furious that we have blown a golden opportunity to add a piece of silverware this season. It still irks me that when we were down in league one and became that unstoppable train we got promoted both times without finishing first and a trophy. 
 

This season was a golden opportunity for us to be streets ahead of everyone else. Leicester are in trouble financially and didn’t do anything in the summer and finally don’t have Vardy. Ipswich sold their best players and don’t look much.

We are clearly missing two big glaring pieces. Obviously it would have been hard to have kept Ramsdale, although even he should have known he was going to sit on the bench. It also looked like Onuachu wanted out which I can’t blame him after the ludicrous abuse he got from some of the fanbase. But hypothetically speaking, would we have won the league had we kept them two?

In my opinion yes. Ramsdale for me is one of the best keepers even in the premier league and certainly would be in the champ. Onuachu might be a bit limited but he’d score for fun in this league especially now we have actual wingers in Fellows and Scienza who can cross a ball. Just having a focal point would improve us. But despite what some say on here, he’s a proven goal scorer. He has 8 goals in 12 games this season in the Turkish league and has Trabzonspor in 3rd in the league. The manager has come out and said their improvement this season is directly down to him. For those that think the league is not much look at the squads of the big Istanbul clubs and they all play in Europe. I would confident bet he would have been the leagues top scorer this season and we would have won the league.

Can't believe people still mention Onuachu.

Not in my opinion. Ramsdale is massively overrated, hence the lack of suitors when we purchased him and when we went down. Paul was a novelty player but would have scored a lot, but wouldn't have played much anyway.

The reason we are where we are is Still was not a good fit.

Having any kind of centre forward would have improved our squad, as would an all round better goalkeeper. But both would have had to have wanted to be here, which I'm not sure is the case for either of them.

Since the tactics would have had them running through treacle anyway, it would be a no.

Just the latest in a long line of "better now they're not here" or "better when they're not playing" .

No.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Quite simply, no.

Onuachu has to be one of the poorest footballers I’ve seen.

I mean, we have people on here that rate Archer more than AA...
