Saints foreva Posted 31 August, 2017 Share Posted 31 August, 2017 Decent window. On paper we look very solid defensively. A tad disappointed that we didn't add an attacker to this after how goal shy we were last season, and have been so far this season. Building from the back is the correct thing to do, we need Boufal, Tadic and Redmond to step up and find some confidence now. Gabbi/Austin know where the net is, they just need the service.

I have faith in the coach/team manager and I think that there is potential within the players that isn't/wasn't at its peak. fkn obvs. Shroppie, He can though. I think McQueen will become an extremely good player. A shame the loan for Matt hasn't worked out. Maybe he wouldn't have been first choice which would nullify the purpose off a loan. I think he has proved he has something at this level and it would be a great opportunity to hone it. Window hasn't shut yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 31 August, 2017 Share Posted 31 August, 2017 At the start of the window I expected Gallagher to be the Jay Rod replacement, which seemed fine behind Gabbi, Austin and Long for one spot. Once Sam went I fully expected someone else in, and for that player to push Long/Austin down the pecking order. Surprised/disappointed we haven't done that, especially with the start we've made in front of goal. Still, elsewhere we are solid, so we are at very least safe and challenging for eighth again.

Very disappointing from the club though and not much of an incentive to watch us this year if you want exciting football or interesting games. A midfield consisting of the likes of Tadic, jwp, romeu, redmond is enough to send you to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 31 August, 2017 Share Posted 31 August, 2017 Overall I'm fairly happy with that for a window. We've achieved our 3 main objectives: 1) Keep Virgil 2) Replace Fonte 3) Find a partner for Romeu We've also moved on 3 players who were offered little to the squad and were just taking up wages. I'd have liked to have seen replaced by a Premier League standard player and Gardos is now well beyond being surplus but you can't have everything.
