alpine_saint Posted 8 January, 2011 Share Posted 8 January, 2011 Every club in the world needs to strengthen, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man Utd, Chelsea etc will all look to strengthen all the time. It doesn't mean that Barcelona aren't good enough to win the champion league now, it means that teams are always evolving, developing improving, there is no such thing as the perfect squad. In the same way we are good enough to win L1 now with the squad. So yes we do need to strengthen but if we dont right now it's not a disaster as what we have is good enough to win promotion. Is that clear enough for you? I know it's been a tough few weeks for you what with us winning 4 in a row and signing our best player up on a 4 year deal. Nope you dont get it, clearly. Transfer window closes, someone key then gets injured, we cant get cover. Promotion quest falls apart. Is that clear enough for you ? Oh, and the last sentence of your post is pure childishness. I am delighted at the run we've put together, and I expressed my delight at Lallana signing on again earlier today. Try discussing things in an adult manner and get your head around the fact that this is the same team more-or-less that was sh*te at the beginning of the season and I therefore have my doubts they can be consistent enough to win automatic promotion.

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 8 January, 2011 Share Posted 8 January, 2011 We are trying to strengthen with substantial bids in according to NA.If we can get the right quality players in to enhance our squad further with players capable of helping us challenge at the top end of the championship then all well and good. There is no point bringing average players in who will not be good enough for next season if we fulfil our goal this season.We can always bring in loans like all our rivals have done if we can't sign the players we want for whatever reason which can cover injuries and loss of form upto sometime in march when the loan window closes. I think our current squad is good enough but if we could sign Austin,Danns,Woolford or players of that calabre I would be very happy to have the extra quality in our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK ? No team has cover for every position (well not two in each position of the same calibre anyway). Under NA this team has been as consistent as it gets in L1 so I would suggest that means we have every chance of automatic promotion and if we didnt sign another player but kept everyone we currently have then we are in good shape. Our third and fourth string CB's were good today, Bart was decent, we have a great midfield for this league and striking riches most only dream of. If we get an injury crisis then that will be bad luck. You cant pay players in L1 to sit around doing nothing on the off chance a crisis might come. Remember most teams are going to be weakened more than us by their own injuries / suspensions. My guess is that we will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with it, but signing too many when it's not really necessary can also have detrimental effects on the team structure. At the moment Adkins has the rotation and squad setup perfectly - it's working bang on. The last thing I think we need in this window is a mass influx of new players like last January. And I believe this squad could more than enough hold their own in the top half of the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that at all, but to build for next season we should be only looking at players capable of playing at play offs or better in the NPC and those players are hard to come by when we are in L1. January window is not the best time for signing those sort of players unless we are willing to break the bank which is not sensible either. NA and NC have said we will bring players in if they improve what we have got and thats a good philosophy in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean that Barcelona aren't good enough to win the champion league now, it means that teams are always evolving, developing improving, there is no such thing as the perfect squad.

Is that clear enough for you? I know it's been a tough few weeks for you what with us winning 4 in a row and signing our best player up on a 4 year deal. Nail on the head there. We all know there are certain areas that could be improved, but at the end of the day sometimes you need to have perspective and belief in what you already have. The other question I would put to those who are worried is simply this - which team in League One has a better all-round squad than ours right now? I genuinely believe we have the best all-round squad in this division by a country mile - it's not perfect by any means, but I'd be willing to bet that most managers in League One would LOVE to have the resources that we have. Some clubs barely get a few thousand turning up each week for goodness sake! All we can hope is that the team keeps the momentum going; as mentioned by others on here, winning 4 in a row is not exactly something we are used to. No doubt we'll lose some games before the end of the year that we shouldn't. But we are going places now, make no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't think it was that difficult would you? Every team wants to and will try to improve. This squad has enough quality and enough cover to win this league. Doesn't mean it will, nor will paying £2m for Austin to sit on the bench, £1m for Antonio to sit on the bench etc etc. We have two of the best LBs and two of the best RBs in this league - what if they all get injured, should we have five for each position??? We left out today: Kelvin, Butterfield Fonte Jaidi Dickson Chaplow Ox-C Guly Do Prado David Connolly Oscar Gobern The quality is there. THe depth is there. We have, ever since Adkins arrived been the best side in this league We have gone from having lowest points in league after 4 or 5 games to be 2nd just short of half way. Therefore the form is there. It is likely we will be top 3. NO signing or signings will guarantee top 2. Adkins will probably come away from every training session and every game thinking there is room for improvement with current players and additions. He has said, and I agree, this squad is good enough to win this league. Look at Brighton's squad! Alpine - you ask if the squad is good enough why shouldn't we win it? - You follow football you should know, because its a sport! Can Man City guarantee the league just by keep adding players? You wonder why you get abuse when you claim that everyone else on here, where about 90% agree are all talking boll@cks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 8 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2011 Post from November comparing our "weak" cover upfront. I appreciate since then Guly has started scoring for fun and Puncheon has been knocking them in at a higher level so stat a bit out of date Our forwards this season Lambert 6 Lallana 6 Barnard 5 Alex Ox-C 4 De Prado 3 Connolly 1 Last year, at this level Lambert 35 Lallana 20 Barnard 26 Connolly 7 Don't know how good Ryan Doble is. Brighton -forwards in their squad and goals scored this season Barnes 7 (lower league player before this season) Murray 5 (14 last year) Sandaza 1 (relased from Dundee last season) then couple of 18 year olds who haven't scored. We are not weak for this league!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted 9 January, 2011 Share Posted 9 January, 2011 Lambert is certainly a back on form now. He was superb again today.

No, no, i do it get it. Man Utd, Rooney gets injured, what then? Chelsea, Drogba gets injured what then? Barcelona, Villa gets injured what then? Injures can happen, thats football. These clubs dont have poorer like for like replacements sitting around waiting for someone to get injured and collection a big wage. They'll adapt their system to suit the players. Having a bloated squad full of "cover" players is not the answer. Having other formations, 4-5-1, todays 4-3-1-2 to compesate for injuries and suspensions is. What would you rather a smaller squad of 20-25 good players, or 35 average ones? Adkins has said he will sign players better than we have, not just for the sake of it, which i whole heartedly agree with. No point signing a player of the standard we need to sit on the bench in case someone gets injured. It seems we wont be having the old policy of "one for the squad" like we did in Lowes day with 35 average pros and we all know where that got us dont we, or perhaps you'd like a return to those days,?a massive squad low on quality. Or prehaps we might be better following the transfer policy of successful clubs who do sign players better than what they have to continue to progress, although maybe you know better than Fergusson, Guardiola etc? And your doubts about the team are based on what? What is your first hand experience of seeing the squad in action to form this opinion (which you bleat on about in every transfer window) that strengthening is essential or promotion will not happen?

Wide players - fine if we keep Puncheon Strikers - I would sign up Guly and bring in one more top striker. We have enough resources to not let any possible injury problems derail us.

There is no point getting into an arguement about it, something i have done. Alpines opinons are based on nothing more than perception and reading what other people say. I LOLed just now reading his comments on the Schniderlin thread about not being able to make up his mind about him and Chaplow adds more to the team. Based on what?! How does he know?! Has he seen them play? Or is it just on what Saints player and this forum tells him? I just dont understand how someone can have such blinkered, arrogant and vociferious views on something they know nothing about first hand. On another note, 90% of people on this thread seem to agree that we dont need to sign all these new "cover" players and i think i am correct in assuming a high percentage of these will have seen the team this season. yet the one who is so aggessive and vocal in his claims that we need all these new players and trying to shout other down wont have seen the team this season.

The starting line against Exeter contained 5 £1m players. 4 signed by Saints in Fonte, Lambert, Schniderlin & Davis and Chaplow signed by WBA not long ago for £1.5m, add Lallana and Chamerlain and you have a side on paper as good as any in third division history. Kind of puts it into perspective. Another point of note is that we made 8 changes from the side that beat Dagenham and Redbridge we won comfortably.

madruss Posted 9 January, 2011 Share Posted 9 January, 2011 For what it's worth, I completely agree with the OP. This squad IS good enough for promotion as it is. However if we're able to bring in a pacey right-footed winger/striker to add competition to aoc, then we should, and that player should be of sufficient quality to be an integral part of our NPC promotion challenge next year.
