Looks like Slimani might be heading to Newcastle on loan. Whilst I'm okay with Carrillo coming in, we really should have been after Slimani instead.

 

Why? What has Slimani ever done in the PL? I think he's looked completley unfit for the PL. Hey, Carrillo may be as well, but Slimani wouldn't have been the answer.

It happens every year. Sky just want to make a story out of anything.

Not actually inside the ground though, normally they are outside staplewood. We’ve obviously given them permission to be in the ground this time.

So then. A world record fee for a defender and best player and it looks like all we will have to show for it is a big fee for a reserve striker with an underwhelming scoring record whose friends with a manager that is universally agreed to be poor and who has a record low win rate for us.

 

Not really sure where to start with that other than to shake my head and wonder how badly we had to mess up over the last two seasons to get ourselves in this absolute mess.

See, I usually don't like the overly negative **** you regularly spout, but this is spot on.

Probably just turned up early for the match. She'll probably consume a fair number of pies during the day.

⚽️so now i can say the players i was talking about lately ..

Cabella ( saint Étienne ) was contacted..

Ferry ( Lyon) was contacted

Ntep( wolburg) was contacted

Plea ( Nice ) was contacted..

Lamela ( spurs ) was contacted ..

Nothing happened !!! #saintsandproud #Southampton

 

 

Leandre's list...

 

 

Fortunately for us none of those moves happened. My, there's some gone downhill, cheap and cheerfull listed there. Update the bloody black box, it's obviously 3 or 4 years out of date. Oh and I presume Ferry means Jordan Ferri from Lyon.

I reckon Plea was the French lad who’s agent pulled him out last minute (early on in the window).

Not really. We didn't sign any of them so even if they are true, him knowing makes no difference other than highlighting how poor we are at getting transfers over the line.

He probably looked at the cluster**** that is Pellegrino’s Southampton, and ran in the opposite direction.

 

It would not surprise me if many of the failures and disappointments of this transfer window, were caused directly by the board’s inexplicable decision to stick with Pellegrino through Dec and Jan.

Given the fact that the 1 and only signing we were able to make was a former MP player, you're probably right.

Spellbindingly moronic from us.

 

Is this actually a dig at Les? Whilst I seriously question his managerial capabilities' date=' this sounds like he's as frustrated about the lethargic way we tried to get our deals done.[/quote']

 

Possibly the nearest he's come to it.

You couldn’t make this up.

 

I know. We're either completely inept on purpose... Or we know we're f*cked & hoarding the money for the pending championship sh*t-storm.

 

I don't know why else MP is still here.

Look on the bright side, if Mope starts criticising the club, his reputation as a ‘yes man’ will be ruined and they might actually considering sacking the ‘outspoken manager.’

I know FOR A FACT that Les and Ross starting writing up potential recruits on a flip chart at a brainstorming kick-off session on January 19th so to suggest they started too late is frankly outrageous.

Nice swipe by MP

Standard West Ham. They've also just had a bid rejected for Tom Cairney at Fulham.

 

Their owners had some unsavoury contact with some fans last week (regarding their lack of investment). Low and behold they are now shouting from the rooftops about any player. It's all just to appease the fans and to make it look like they're trying and that they have money, but I don’t expect anything to happen, apart from maybe a loan on the last day.

 

Their fans have real issues with their owners. I'm glad we don't have them running our joint.

 

They signed Arnautović for £20 million, we signed Carrillo for £19 million. It puts our owners and directors in perspective, doesn't it, and shows just how badly our club is being run.
