Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd

If he's going to be given a chance then Billy Sharp should also be given an opportunity too.

I think I'd rather have taken Lukaku & Barry on loan than paid the ridiculous sums we coughed up for Wanyama and Osvaldo. Got to hand it to Everton. They offloaded Anichebe for £6m - One of the worst strikers I've seen in the premiership and had Utd's pants down with Fellani. They then landed Lukaku, one of the most impressive players in the prem last season and brought in some quality in McCarthy and Barry. Lukaku & Barry on loan or Wanyama & Osvaldo for close to €30m. I know which I'd rather have had.

Give me a F Give me a U Actually, don't bother. I'll just say it. **** Off. Why is he a troll? because he's shared his opinion and it isn't the same as yours? since when is everybody a troll because they express their point of view? He's made some very valid points.

We scored a penalty in the last minute at WBA. One of our defenders snatched an equaliser with 2 mins to go at home to Sunderland and we failed to score at Norwich and lost 1-0. Personally I don't think that's much to shout about. It demonstrates that we lack firepower and unless we address this issue we'll continue to lost to very average teams and probably get a hammering at the likes of Liverpool. Chelsea & Man U. All this talk about how 'we should have won' is ********. The fact is that we didn't.

Extremely gutted if this happens.

We were never going to finish in the top 10 this season and look nothing more than a team that's going to battle for survival. We've wasted money in the transfer market and paid over the odds for pretty much every player we've signed.

Sadly, I could see this happening and that would be a huge mistake. £3m!!! If Wanyama is worth £12m then Cork must be worth at least £20m.

Bit early for this nonsense. However, I don't think MP will see the season out. Wasn't convinced when he was announced as manager and certainly not impressed with his recent performances and purchases.

Team selection starting to concern me too. Wanyama's done nothing that makes him look like a better option than Cork. On a positive note, Lovren looks pretty consistent. Too early to say about Osvaldo but he looked totally out of touch with his team mates today. Personally I think he'll be a huge flop but I'd love to be proved wrong. Still wondering why the **** we let Puncheon go. Can only assume MP has someone he considers to be a better option in mind. I think we've got a good side but I'm really not convinced with MP.

I've been very disappointed that he's not getting a regular game. I still don't understand why we've paid well over the odds for Wanyama when Cork did such a great job. For me he was the difference when he returned from injury last season. Where was he today? Is he injured again or just dropped? Please tell me he wasn't left out because he's on his way on Monday? I honestly beileve that if MP gets his ****ing act together and sticks him back in the 1st team along side Morgan we'll all see the benefit. In my opinion if Wanyama is worth £12m then that makes Cork a £20m pound player.

WBA have paid £2m for a season long loan and we weren't prepared to pay that.

Watch him struggle to adjust to the English game & be a huge flop.

Di Canio, I hope. O'Neil had done nothing wrong at Sunderland & they replaced him with a complete clown who's built a squad fit for relegation.

Because there isn't!

No disrespect but how do you know that? If people thought RL was Premiership quality then why was there not a host of Prem clubs waiting to sign him?

Funny that. People weren't saying that he wasn't good enough when he was rattling in the goals that helped us get back to the Premiership. Confidence plays a huge part in a strikers performance so why not give the lad a go?

After seeing Rickie's fairytale England performance last night I was once again left questioning why Billy Sharp isn't being given a chance in the Prem. He's been written off before anybody's seen if he's able to deliver at this level. Rickie's performance shows that you have to give people a chance. Why are we being linked with players for silly sums of money when we have a striker that could potentially do a job for us? I'm sure plenty of people will say that he's not good enough but in all seriousness how the **** do they know. Nobody's seen him given a chance in the Premiership. Lambert has made the step up from the lower leagues, so why can't Billy do the same?

One of the predictions in the Sunday papers had Saints finishing 9th. Can't remember which paper it was. Personally I think that's ambitious, as it 14th. I think Saints will be involved in a relegation battle all season.

It passed that point years ago. I only watch non league football these days. I simply refuse to pay some of the ludicrous prices being charged these days. Sick of over paid players crying like babies when they fall over and behaving like complete ****s off the field. Football's become a joke.

We're not a million miles away from Utd in the midfield dept. Sadly we're a long way off having anything that can rival their defence or the firepower they have up front. :-/

Let him go. I still don't understand why Saints ever signed him. I'd rather see Sharp given a chance in the Prem.

Absolutely no chance. Saints are a very long way off European football.

Exactly. It's never their fault. I hate Liverpool because they got the rules of the Champions league changed so that they could still compete in it. They didn't qualify through the normal channels because they were **** but cried like babies until the rules were changed to allow the current holders a place in the following seasons competition.

I still don't understand why we're not in the race for Bent. I'd have thought he could do a job for us and for reasonable money. One thing's for sure. We desperately need to strengthen up front.

£15m is a joke. A couple of clubs have shown an interest and offered about £6m but they've been told to come back with offers above £8m to trigger the release clause in his contract. Would £15m not be better spent trying to land Lukaku from Chelsea?
