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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Anyone who thinks bazunu is good enough for championship challengers is mental.

He is crap at shot stopping.. that's the main part of his job..

No idea. It looks like Juric doesn't want him, so I would guess we would push for that. Doesn't mean we will get it.

Although most people with even a basic understanding of the game can see it even the computer game and stats geeks can see that his stats last seaon I believe, despite us being the 4th best team, made him the worst goalkeeper in the championship which is quite an achievement after also being the worst goalkeeper in the premier league.

Fair point but with Stewart's availability a major question and assuming Onuachu departs, we will need a central striker.

I was actually thinking more about wide men and creative players to supply these prolific strikers. We need to sign some creativity, unless you think Fraser, Sulemena, Amo-Ameyaw and Edozie will give us that? Brooks was better for us than some think and needs replacing. If Dibling stays, that would ease my concerns.

KWP was also one of our most creative players in the Championship and it looks unlikely he will be here next season (you never know).

Brereton scored goals for Sheff United in the top flight, so maybe they see him in a sightly more favourable light? He could be the difference maker for the blades or Sunderland's promotion. Maybe we can play hardball?

I'm glad nothing is happening, it would have been stupid if we went out there trying to buy players in our position.

Loans are all i'd want to see, no more Sulemana/Onuachu/Orsic windows. There's no point improving the squad now as nothing will come of it, so keep the powder dry.

Anyone that is backing SR or these signings needs to give their head a wobble. 😂

It’s quite simply the worst Saints team, for the league they’re in, that I have seen in my lifetime.

The likes of Ramsdale and Fernandes are only heightened because the rest have been so shit. It’s an incredible low bar to be classed as a good player for us.

I'd be interested to see how many shots on target he faced before he got injured compared to other keepers as I our inability to play that style effectively must of led to a tonne of shots on goal.

He may become a better keeper by facing fewer balls than bonny blue for a change.

I’d be happy with that. Crap out, some quality in, even if it’s short term, just to salvage some self respect.

Agree. But would also like to think if he helps Sunderland, Sheff Utd or whoever to promotion then he’s worth a few million to them.

Of what happening?

Him signing, or being sold or leaving for free? Surely there’s a 100% chance of one of them happening?

If he wanted to sign a new contract with us he would have done so already. Being a free agent means he can get a bigger pay day as clubs arent paying a fee for him.

The only conceivable way this happens is if we agree to include a relatively low release clause for the summer (£7-10m?). Stops him going for free and doesn’t take a huge offer for him to leave.

But after he didn’t get his move last time after relegation, can’t see him agreeing to do that. Plus, he’ll get a handsome signing on fee whoever he goes to if he leaves on a free.
