It really does surprise me how it's always like this. But it's not just us.

Liverpool have had all window as well, yet only today are they making random lower league/reserve signings.

It’s because clubs don’t realise who they can afford to let go until so late, so it there’s always going to be a knock on effect.

Well Semmens has been busy today....

Southampton vice-chair Martin Semmens was on a “virtual” panel at the Soccerex conference today. “Football is big business,” was the topic under debate. Soccerex’s owner? Kapital Football Group, the firm run by Joe DaGrosa that’s been trying to buy Southampton for at least 6mo.

Yes but we've had windows where we thought nothing was happening and then the "business done" message doesn't come for ages and then eventually it does come at about ten o'clock and we haven't signed anyone. 

Expand  

And we’ve had windows where the manager has said all window that we need to sign players then when it’s obvious we haven’t been able to his said that we don’t need any as we have *insert academy players name* who can step up. The cheerleaders took that to mean we never needed anyone in the first place, we never did business because we didn’t need too.

Not one who dictates where he wants to play. If he was confident in his ability he wouldn't need them assurances.

When was the last time we actually strengthened the team in January.? 
 

The last couple we’ve all hoped and said we need this player or that player but by the end of the window we ended the window weaker then when the window opened.

Helsinki? 

[Saint_clark]

I know we really need a fullback but at this point we've struggled for cover at pretty much every position this season, so I'd actually rather we get someone in to cover somewhere if we can't get a fullback in. Perhaps a midfielder to allow JWP to cover RB.

[SambaMaverick]

We've gone in for Fredericks from West Ham

Wouldn’t stop us signing him, worth a punt, could get him back to fitness and flip him. You might say resurrect his career?

Edited 1 February, 2021 by Toussaint

[SaintJackoInHurworth]

If we don't sign anyone, this is where we stand in the positions that we are concerned about:

• Centre backs: Bednarek, Stephens, Vestergaard (soon to return to fitness), Salisu (Soon to return to fitness)
• Left back: KWP (soon to return to fitness), Valery
  • Left back options: JWP, Diallo (injured), Redmond, Armstrong, Smallbone (injured), Stephens
• Right Back: Bertrand, Ramsay
  • Right back options: Ferry, Armstrong, JWP, Diallo (Injuerd), Watts(?), Jankewitz(?), Smallbone (injured), Stephens
• Central midfield: Ward-Prowse, Romeu (Injured?), Diallo (Injured), Smallbone (Injured), Jankewitz

It would not be an ideal situation, but the point is that as more players return from injury our options will improve. In particular if Salisu can finally play for us then Stephens becomes a significant full-back option.

I would love to see us sign someone as a full back but I'm not going to panic if we don't!

Not for me if it can possibly be avoided, hasn’t Valery left?

[Mr Saints]

Sounds like desperate stuff. Phoning every prem club for their second choice right back. 

[DT]

It’s getting embarrassing now.

[Billy the Kidd]

Hang on - so we are looking for a RB now, and not a LB.  Jeez, I’m confused 🤔

Don’t discount old Noodlediddydoo

[Mystic Force]

Not having the manager being tempted to bring Long on would be strengthening the squad.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

I don't know why we don't play Long on the Right. He used to play in that position and his work rate is always superb. He'll track back when needed and is more than capable of getting forward and supplying the front two.

Valery to Nantes

[S-Clarke]

Josh King to either Everton or Fulham, deals agreed.

May ramp up their interest in Long.

Would be typical saints to complain about squad depth, then let Vokins, Long and Valery leave without adding.

[DT]

We must be dangerously skint

[Saint Garrett]

Feels like the owner has decided we’ve stayed up this season, and just trying to see through to the summer with the current squad, cost saving where possible. Feel sorry for Ralph.
