Let's hope so

I think he's probably better than Perraud right now but doubt we will go there.

Most important positions to improve, ie get in better than we have are; GK No 10 as they say. Playmaker. DFM. Less important but necessary. CB. Striker if we can't tie Broja down. If any can happen this month, then great. If not we need to sort all of them in the summer.

I'd suggest that IF we do not sign a GK that is obviously better than any we currently have, in particular McCarthy, and he is Ralph's number 1 choice still at the start of the new season, then the takeover is almost pointless🤣 Investing in a top keeper is the most important position to sort.

Perhaps we see Livramento as a more forward player in which case another young RB would make sense.

Feels very underwhelming.

I agree that we need all of those positions. However one or two are more urgent ie. GK, and DCM. But I suspect we will see a "No 10" first.

I'd be stunned if we sign a CB this month. I would like to see a "better than what we have" CB, in the summer, and move on Stephens. Salisu, New, Bednarek, and Lyanco sounds like a decent quartet plus we have Simeu (potentially) coming through.

Surely a LB loan would make more sense as KWP simply moves back to his usual position?

KWP!

And I'm sure the commentator said "he's an excellent left back..". I nearly choked on my beer

Had the pleasure of his (and his sons) company one night about 10 years ago in The Grapes. Just said hello and he spent the next 3 or 4 hours reeling off all his said to stories. Fantastic bloke.

It would be a statement signing. A statement of mediocrity.

If he happens to be the only sighning we make this January it will be a great month

I am very excited by this takeover and what it could bring in the coming years. On the assumption this really is a long term (ongoing) project of Sport Republic, I can see the club status raised considerably over the next few years. One of the main bits I took from Semmens words on Solent was the bit about being able to do things quicker than previously planned. I hope this means 2 or even 3 players this months, a GK and a number 10 are suggested in the press as Ralph's priority which can't be argued with, but I'd love a DCM as well. I fell this is going to be a really positive time for the team and the club, I have a similar feeling to when Markus and Cortese turned up. As ever only time will tell but after a few years of stagnation and restriction this is very much a breath of fresh air!!😁

If we do (and why wouldnt we!!) want to sign Broja on a permanent it makes complete sense to at least attempt to do it this month because the longer we leave the more interest there is likely to be and more cash and spending clubs there is going to be in the summer.

I tend to agree to be fair but Semmens saying we can do things "quicker" makes me wonder we might get the GK now. I agree about the Tadic role to but think we need to shift a couple in that type of role first.

Broja permanent, a decent GK (Henderson my preference, although probably unlikely) and a DCM would do me🤣

I think 5k is way over the top.

But didn't someone post that the Kapital Group company was dissolved? Poor admin on that site if true....doesn't bode well if can't get the basics right🤣🤣🤣

And?

And that's why he needs to go. 🤦🤦🤦🤦

You miss my point. Its not "just about two games" it's about these two games on the end if all the rest. Hes had chance after chance and as much as I like him we are just not getting anywhere. Win these two and you'd probably stick with him for a couple more but for me he's st the end of the road....how close it is I'm not so sure

If we take less than 3 points from this weeks two games he needs to go. In principal I like his philosophy and way of working but it is not having the effect it needs to. I feel he is almost stuck and can't find a way out, we either perform or don't, without any rhyme nor reason. We need a fresh mind, fresh energy and fresh approach. Sooner rather than later.

Tim Flowers lived in the same road as my (late) dad in Otterbourne. I never met him though!!
