ally_uk Posted 29 October, 2018 Posted 29 October, 2018 Agreed he to call him a premier league player is ridiculous! Looks unfit offers nothing and should of been moved on two seasons ago and upgraded same as the other shyte in this team...
Dusic Posted 24 November, 2018 Author Posted 24 November, 2018 Austin today - worst striker performance that I have ever seen in a live Saints game. Effort non-existent. An absolute disgrace. Why some Sainta fans love him is beyond me. He has been a terrible signing on big wages.

striker Posted 24 November, 2018 Posted 24 November, 2018 No strikers ever look good on the Saints. Gabbi sucks too, Ing has been so so, Lnog stinks. Maybe its because our mids don't know how to attack and create opportunities. They leave any striker isolated. Until we fix that, we could have Kane upfront and it won't matter. The only time the strikers get involved is when the other team goes into "park the bus" mode at the end of matches. Our attack is basically pass the ball 100 times back and forth, then just kick it up and hope we get a lucky bounce

A target man who can score is exactly what the teams desperately needs, and I'm convinced he (along with a semi-decent manager) would lift them up to mid table.

egreog Posted 24 November, 2018 Posted 24 November, 2018 As the title of the thread is 18/19 strikers...........just one vaguely competent footballer that realises the object of the exercise is to score a goal would be progress. The current crop of "strikers" should be queuing at the training ground on Monday morning (preferably Sunday to work on their fitness) to hand their excessive salaries back on the basis of incompetence and inability to do the basis job they were hired to complete. They are simply woeful
Dark Munster Posted 24 November, 2018 Posted 24 November, 2018 Could also do with another cb, rb and partner for ings. The front man would be Ings' partner. Agreed about a cb and rb, but for me the front man is priority number one.

Listening to talk sport during the game and we have one of the highest shot totals, but have scored only 4 percent or something like that. So we are making chances, getting shots away, but it would appear that our finishing is woeful. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
shurlock Posted 24 November, 2018 Posted 24 November, 2018 I would take Carrillo over Austin at this stage, if only for his presence up top.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 This is still an interesting topic of debate, especially with the window open. Aside from Carrillo, we have 6 strikers of differing shapes, attributes sizes & fitness. - Ings - Austin - Long - Gabbiadini - Gallagher - Obafemi Gabbi is likely off. So do we think Ralph will want another?
angelman Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 I see Leganes have taken Martin Braithwaite from Boro on loan for the rest of the season. Does this have any affect on Carrillo?

I would assume he's there for the season. Hughes bombed him out so wouldn't have thought he would've wanted the option to recall.
Dusic Posted 3 January, 2019 Author Posted 3 January, 2019 Ings and Obafemi are the only ones with a future at Saints I think. Its just a question of how quickly we can get rid of the others.

Kingsland Red Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 To add to the debate, Austin will be probably receive a ban from the FA for his two fingers at the Citeh booing.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 Ings and Obafemi are the only ones with a future at Saints I think. Its just a question of how quickly we can get rid of the others. Austin will stay and perhaps Long for now, sorry to disappoint.. Are you suggesting we get rid of all but the 2 you mention? would leave us a bit short surely
ErwinK1961 Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 Austin will stay and perhaps Long for now, sorry to disappoint..

ALWAYS_SFC Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 Well just a wild stab in the dark, but maybe... just maybe... he thinks we would actually replace them? Well done!! Perhaps in the summer but not now...
mrfahaji Posted 3 January, 2019 Posted 3 January, 2019 I think it says something that Austin is still in the picture. When Hasenhuttl arrived pretty much everyone - even those who think he is a decent player - thought it was curtains for Charlie, but he's still getting game time. Instead it's Gabbiadini who is heading out the door. Admittedly, Gabbiadini hardly fits the mould either, but surely does more than Austin. Perhaps Austin's attitude has been good and he's showing a bit more than we thought he was capable of.

If RH doesn't really rate either of them as suitable for his preferred style, it makes sense to protect the one you're going to try and flog to raise funds.

Perhaps Austin's attitude has been good and he's showing a bit more than we thought he was capable of. Players only leave if there is someone willing to buy them. Gabbi wants to go back to Italy and his agent has done the work to generate interest from clubs. Austin on the other hand is happy here, so his agent hasn't been out flogging him. He also hasn't done anything much to attract unsolicited attention, sadly.

Debatable considering the markets, most Italian clubs are not very rich, it's similar to the issue with selling to Holland we had with Clasie and Tadic, they are not suddenly going to dump £15-20 million on player like most PL clubs. Whereas I'd reckon quite a few Championship clubs and maybe the odd lower PL club would probably stump up £12 - 15 million for Austin, he is a proven goalscorer, he could easily score the goals to get someone up to the PL for example or keep say Newcastle or Huddersfield or Burnley or Palace in the league.
