Harry_SFC Posted 4 January, 2023 Share Posted 4 January, 2023 We deserve everything we get this season. In a way I hope we go down. Have the chance to sign a a top, top player and we blow it because we've refused to offer €2 million more. Yet we spent more money on an 18 year old kid from Man City who had never played a senior match.

S-Clarke Posted 4 January, 2023 Share Posted 4 January, 2023 It's so exhausting following any transfer on twitter, 99% of it is nonsense. It's on, it's off, it's on, it's off, they want £2m more, no £1m more.

miserableoldgit Posted 4 January, 2023 Share Posted 4 January, 2023 We get this frustration virtually every Transfer Window....High Hopes followed swiftly by abject disappointment. You would genuinely think that with the situation that we are in and how we were apparently burned late on in the Summer window, that we would have had deals ready to trigger on 1st Jan...but no...this is Saints. I have been supporting Saints since the 50's and a ST holder since mid 70's and I am getting to the end of my tether with it all. I have been messed around by the club with being kicked out of the seats that we had since SMS opened, we are bottom of the league with no obvious urgency to be able to sort the squad out to remedy this........and in the current financial climate the entrance fee is not good value for money.....although I may change my mind after the light show tonight....but I have a feeling that it will be followed by another shite show. It would be better to pay somebody to stick pins in my eyes. I am seriously wondering if my days of attending SMS are numbered. Watching the odd game on TV in comfort from home is becoming more and more attractive. I can sit and wallow in the many, many happy memories from over 60 years of watching my beloved Saints, when it was run by people who actually cared about the club. Mind you, two or three exciting signings and a surge up the table and that will all probably change!!🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not our own fault though? In these days of instant messaging/twitter/forums etc rumours are spread around like wildfire. It's down to us whether we choose to believe them or not and human nature being what it is we believe the ones we want to be true. There's been nothing from the club to confirm or deny interest in any of the rumours discussed on here, so we've got no-one to blame but ourselves if we end up disappointed when certain players don't end up joining us . Oh for the good be old days when the first we knew of a transfer target was when The Echo told us they'd signed. Agree though that in general, when we can all see certain areas need strengthening we'd have a right to he disappointed -if not folded arms, scowling face,season ticket handing back, downright furious - if no-one is bought in.

We aren't negotiating from a position of strength, every club in frigging Europe will look at the league table and know we need to do something and they'll know in what positions. Dicking around over a couple of million for a quality proven experienced player who could come in and make a difference straight away strikes me as insanity. As others have pointed out, we've paid that for young kids who have barely played a game this season. Mental. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
