Give it to Ron Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 . But for some reason English football fans can’t stand this and rather have good old JWP playing it safe and passing it square or backwards and running his legs off.

OldNick Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Lel, always makes me laugh the old creative player, they are always hot and cold unless you sign Ronaldo, Messi, Hazard or Marhez and even they have “off” days. Boufal could create out of nothing, but in the process he will give the ball away, much like Mane did and still does. But for some reason English football fans can’t stand this and rather have good old JWP playing it safe and passing it square or backwards and running his legs off. I guarantee if we signed Promes or Sisto saints fans would be slagging them off when they don’t play incredible every game. Utter messes Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat is true, but a player who is not a team player is no good for a team that is likely to struggle. Ok Boufal scored a superb goal , but he lost the ball in many dangerous areas. He also didn't have the desire needed, fancy flicks and back heels do not suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Last season lots of people on here seem to be of the opinion we had a decent squad poorly managed. We brought in a new manager that most people seemed happy with a few weeks ago. We've brought in four new players to bolster the squad and made sure Forster never sees first team action again and now people think we are more likely to be relegated than last season? See people are only saying that because of the dealings of other clubs and how everyone seems to be breaking their transfer records etc etc- i’d like to see where our £19m now ranks compared to all other 20 clubs in PL right now Yes spending isn’t the be all and end all, but I’d still rather be spending then nothing if possible.

Saint Albert Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 Last season lots of people on here seem to be of the opinion we had a decent squad poorly managed. We brought in a new manager that most people seemed happy with a few weeks ago. We've brought in four new players to bolster the squad and made sure Forster never sees first team action again and now people think we are more likely to be relegated than last season? Count me in the decent squad poorly managed group. Competent management throughout this season ought to make a lot of difference and I am hopeful that this season at least ought to be more comfortable than last. I’m not Hughes’ number one fan but compared to Pellegrino he’s Sir Alf Ramsay. That being said, my optimism is tempered a little because I’m not sure if the club has done enough to improve the first team in this window, assuming no one else comes in. The club has hopefully improved at centre back by bringing in Vestergaard. Armstrong looks like a decent addition to the front three. Moi appears to be a Tadic replacement, but I am still concerned by Tadic’s absence. We’re down one experienced specialist RB. Perhaps Targett is intended to be Cedric’s competition, or will it be Valery? We’re stronger in goal with FF out of the picture. We look to have the same midfielders as last year. I’m not going to argue with the club filling gaps with academy players. That’s supposed to be part of the club’s identity, but I’m not sure if the club has enough assets to improve the front three unless Gallagher turns into the consistent goal scorer that we lacked last season. Scoring goals was identified as a major issue for the team last year, as exemplified by the purchase of Carrillo in the January transfer window. It may well still be an unresolved issue. Will Moi, Armstrong and Gallagher make the squad better in the final third than Tadic, Boufal and Carrillo? Will Hughes play Gabbiadini consistently? Will Austin play most of the season or will he spend too much time in the treatment room, again? Will the new attacking players learn to bring Gabbiadini into the game? If we end up starting games with Long as the sole striker again, that would be a worry. This is the area that concerns me. Given the we must sell to buy mantra that’s been going on lately and the decline in results over the last two seasons it makes me wonder exactly what level Gao was supposed to be taking Saints to when he bought the club last year.

I love transfer deadline day,well worth bunking off early from work for.Is this not like deadline days for Saints for decades? Personally we are hamstrung by the failings of our so called judges reading the Black Box. If they were presented with a Black box from an air accident they would say the plane never took off. They have spent the incoming funds from the sales of our best players and wasted on really poorly judged purchases. Hence we have no funds to buy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 9 August, 2018 Share Posted 9 August, 2018 So just how bloated is our first team squad now? We have a number of players that we are still paying salaries for who are never going to get near the 18 man squad, let alone the starting 11. Can see a few problems coming with players throwing strops about not getting games. Think that the players that we have brought in this summer seem like sensible buys, but I guess time will tell.
