MLG is like a SaintsWeb version of a Komodo Dragon stalking his various prey this evening.  The venom is in & alone he stalks…

 Incredible to witness  

I'd prefer to go with honey badger!

He really isn't as bad as many here like to make out given the level we will likely be next season. For a top Championship side he is fine.

You don’t really believe that you are just dying on a hill on your posts - is that why you disappeared last season you didn’t like criticism of uncle Baz?

Baz really is that bad. Genuinely believe it was his injury and subsequently bringing in Mac that got us promoted. So now, we've got something else to blame Baz for.

Even if they cant cut it in the Premier League, they were good enough for a promotion campaign last time.

You just never know. Luton were better as a Premier League team last season than we are, they're now looking like they could go straight down again

For this season...

Ramsdale

Harwood-Bellis 

Fernandes 

Downes

Sugawara 

Edwards

Plus many purchases for the u21s look very promising.

I'll give you Ramsdale, THB, Downes and Fernandes. Sugawara has been next level shit and Edwards may be good for us, but not proven yet.

The majority of their transfer additions since they have taken over have taken us backwards.

Bazunu - Rubbish

Lis - We were a Vehicle for his Gotzpe adventure

Taylor - Not really sure what the point of that one was.

Larios - Pointless

ABK - A disaster all being told.

Aribo - Pretty crap.

Sulemana - Utter heap of turd.

Onuachu - Not good enough.

Charly - Decent, but probably not quite suited to English football

Lavia - Class - their one standout.

Charles - May be good, not really shown up for us yet.

Stewart - Pointless. Could have told you the outcome on that one before we signed him.

Cornet - Horrendous

Ugochuckwu - I think he's rubbish.

BBD - Horrendous

Edozie - Not really good enough.

Mara - holy mother of shite.

Orsic - wtf?

AMN - Trash

DCC - Awful

So bar Lavia, THB, Fernadnes and maybe Charly the majority of their 'driven' signings have been trash. You can't really argue with that list. I wouldn't say their blind spot is limited to the attack, they've made shit calls in multiple positions.

That's why I don't want any of this crew making any additions this window. They cannot be trusted. Save the dollar, go down, scrap the lot of them and rebuild a decent recruitment setup and then start again.

In what world do they think we're going to get £16m for Sulemena? They're still sniffing glue by the sounds of it.

He'll be with us until the last day of the window, be shipped off on loan, come back to us in the summer and we'll pay him off. No one will spend money on him as he's crap.

Honestly the muppets in charge of this club are totally deluded.

They don’t. Chances are someone has leaked that number in the hope of pushing up the selling price but nobody will actually be expecting anything like £16m.

[Turkish]

The results of our recruitment which “isnt as bad as people make out” 🤣🤣🤣

But he was the fastest player at the Qatar World Cup that must add a premium 🤔

We have a better squad than Luton, it might not appear that way but Martin's tactics destroyed any hope of staying up and now we are a lost cause due to being so far adrift and devoid of confidence. 

So you are saying we’ll slip into mid table mediocrity next season with no possibility of an immediate return to the premier league? The damage done by previous head coaches and SR has destroyed any hope of a revival that people wrongly assume will happen just because it happened before. The words death-spiral come to mind.

They are out of their depth in the Premier League but Armstrong, Brereton Díaz, Archer and even Stewart (in a small sample) have all been prolific in the Championship.

How can someone be prolific in a small sample?

It did, and we paid it!

10 goals in 13 Championship games is prolific in a small sample.

He is shit. Have you watched him? Do you know how to play football?

He had been crippled with an achilees injury, wasn’t due back until the autumn at best, and out of contract at the end of the season. If he’d kept that ratio up over a whole season….that makes Adam Armstrong or BBD…hardly worth the mind-numbingly stupid decision to pay £8m plus an extra payment after we went up.

When Saints signed Lambert for £1m, then very rare in League 1, he was already a prolific scorer at that level over a few seasons with ability to play higher with the right conditioning and lifestyle. But we were a far more sensible club then.
