ashleyb5443 Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 We've bought in 3 players, Lovren for £8.5m from Lyon, Wanyama for £12.3m from Celtic, Osvaldo for £12.9m from AS Roma. Only 1 of these players has actually improved the team, which is the extremely impressive Lovren. Even more pleasing to see was how dissappointed he was with yesterday's result, taking to twitter to say ' I am very dissappointed,' 'I am sure I will not sleep, good night and thank you for your support.' Such a great player, and such a great personality as well. With Wanyama and Osvaldo though, all we seem to done is upset the balance of the team. Morgan and Cork play SO well alongside one another and we've broken that key partnership up for no apparent reason just cause we fancied Wanyama. The same with Osvaldo, we've shoe-horned him in the team to play alongside Lambert, when he'd be better suited to play up-top on his own. We should've bought 1 decent championship DM and 1 decent championship Striker (Le Fondre maybe?) that wouldn't of minded sitting on the bench, playing in Carling Cup games etc. and waiting for the chance if SRL or Cork/Morgan got injured. I also don't understand why we've shoe-horned Chambers and Ward-Prowse in the team, they're not ready for the 1st team in my opinion and we should be playing our best team every time no matter what.

miserableoldgit Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 Would you like me to shoe-horn my big toe up your arse? But it's his opinion. He is free to write players off after three games or one and a half in the case of Osvaldo. Perfectly valid opinion and deserves respect.

Olallana Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 I have an idea. In january window lets buy players the first five days and if they doesn´t score in the first two-three games we can always sell them the last week in january!!

mitch01 Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 I was very impressed with Wanyama in the first 2 games. Less so in the third. I am yet to be particularly impressed by Osvaldo in the 135 minutes of action he has had in a Saints shirt. Still pretty sure they are both improvements on what we already have, and will contribute very well in the coming years. Thats's because I'm not a so short-sighted as to write of signings based on one poor performance away at Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a striker doesn't score I would fine him + play a different striker next game. They'll soon learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with MOG that Mr Blakey is entitled to of his own opinion and to of every right to express it but I do regret that he confuses the preposition 'of' with the word 'have'. It's 'wouldn't HAVE minded' the past participle of the verb To Have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team we had last year was only good enough to avoid relegation on the penultimate day. We needed to change something. So we bought some new players and are giving some younger players a chance. Are you against that? Should we play the team that nearly got relegated last year? Seriously? Just what do you expect? We should go from just avoid relegation to beating the likes of Sunderland and Norwich easily? Wakey wakey - its the Premier League and Cardiff can beat Man City, Stoke can beat West Ham away, West Brom can draw at Goodison.....anything can happen. If you think we spent £xxm so that instantly equals team bonding shape performance and results improve vertically then take off those rosetinted glasses. It takes time and luck. A penalty given yesterday and the game changes such that we might have won or drawn away....and would you still be so critical? In rebuilding and upgrading a team occasionally you get lucky and the combination of new players and young players plus the best of the others works instantly, other times it takes time. Some clubs allow the manager and team more time than others. Many agree that allowing a team the chance to settle with each other and manager is better than constant chop and change. We have played three games this season that count. If we get better than last year that's a good season top ten amazing. Get real chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 Blakey normally predicts things wrong so expect Wanyama and Osvaldo to kick on and own the prem...while Lovren will now flunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynoldson!! Posted 2 September, 2013 Share Posted 2 September, 2013 but him and Osvaldo cant play together. Oh OK. Damn. Well, at least we tried I suppose. On to the next experiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
