Not sure it'd be wise to leave out Romeu with all his experience - he's often our best player so wouldn't want to see him left out. Think he'll boss Hojbjerg if he plays.

I would hope that we also have a lot still to do in this window even if we don't have 100m burning a hole in our pocket. Doubt we'll survive with the squad we've got so I'm hoping that Ralph was genuine when he said we have more business to do. I like the look of the youngsters we've signed plus the more experienced Aribo but they'll likely take a season before we see the best of them although we may be lucky in that we have another Tino or two among them. Bazunu will probably quickly establish himself as number one in goal but he has only limited competition. Would love to see us try to get Conor Coady but I doubt we'll even put a bid in - his experience could galvanise our defence as he seems to be a great leader and organiser, something we badly need.

I'd be delighted and a little surprised if we manage to finish this season above Brighton.

Let's wait and see how many of them start on Saturday against Spurs which is the game I was talking about. Things will likely change as the season evolves but I think Ralph will opt for experience in this first fixture.

Most of them will probably be on the bench. Think Ralph being Ralph will opt for experience.

Knowing Ralph he'll opt for experience over a keeper who is young and makes saves.

Hopefully the question was, 'which midfield player should Saints not sign?'

Agree.

There is something seriously wrong if your suggestion that players coasted til the end of the season is anywhere close to being factual. The fans pay a lot of money to watch the team and if true that they were allowed to coast then something is seriously wrong. For the record I don't believe they coasted or that Ralph would have allowed them to.

Some rate him, some don't. It's all about opinions and nothing to do with snobbery.

5/10 every game is pretty terrible 🙂

We need to pay him what he is worth - must be niggling for him knowing how much players like Theo are on. Offer him a contract for more realistic money and get him tied to the club.

Seen Harry Winks linked again today - wish this would go away. He is the last type of midfield player we need as we should be getting away from the shuffling about, sideways, backwards, recycling and passing for passing sake rather than being proactive and positive.

Think Liam Delap would only be a squad player with appearances from the bench rather than a player we can rely on for goals in the first team. He looks to be way short in terms of development to play against experienced Premier League defenders. Might be wrong but that's how I view him.

But how many strikers bang in 15-20 goals in the Premier League?
