If what i was told on saturday is right, and i've no reason to not believe it, we're planning on spending big in the January window. Saying that though spending big doesn't mean a hell of a lot with SR, it could just mean we over pay for players that don't improve the team.

But we already have Downs! Who else could the amazing SR recruitment team possibly think we'd need? 🙂

I note the George Long argument has cropped up again, in that a third choice keeper isn't meant to be better than the 1st or 2nd etc etc.

A bunch of you are absolutely missing the point, once again - as you did in the summer, whereby it was proclaimed that 'Bazunu is fine for the Championship'.

The original point from the summer still stands. We didn't need a third choice goalkeeper, that's the whole point. We needed/still need a 1st choice keeper. Then McCarthy/Bazunu become 2nd and 3rd choice.

We had / have people saying we won’t / can’t buy a relatively good keeper as Ramsdale is still a factor.

absolute bollox, as know it

Can't see it myself. Squad is still too bloated. However, it is clear we need a goalkeeper,  a good commanding centre back, two full backs, one big unit in midfield and a big strong centre forward. We continue to be too small and weak all over the pitch.

Calling bollocks on this immediately.

Spending big with Sport Republic doesn’t even mean spending smartly. 😂

Edoize, Downs, Aribo Out 

Tyler Dibs or Prowse in loan 

And a striker

We don't need Dibling and Everton aren't sending him here. Jwp I'd like but I doubt will come. Gk is the main need.

That and a striker. Archer might well be off as well as Downs, barely featured this season and struggled when he has (Bristol City). I suspect clubs will still want him and think Saints haven’t utilised him properly. Only time will tell.
