Can you imagine.
Charly Alcaraz & Mattheus Fernández playing in our team.
What an exciting combination that would be, but we mustn't dwell it what could have been, we have accept what we've got & where we are thanks to SR.
They made money on Charley as they will with Fernández just a shame that they've wasted so many millions on other rubbish coaches & players.
SORRY GUYS, so good I wrote it twice. [Post edited 16 Feb 15:20]

It's surprising that so many are still turning up week after week to watch the worst Saints team that I can remember.
Alright you expect a good crowd for a so called local Derby against high flying Bournemouth but there are regularly near capacity crowds for all of our home games.
If only the Owners, Coaches & Players showed such resilience & commitment.

Bit surprised to see Smallbone back on the team today.
He always appears to struggle physically against bigger, stronger & technically better players in Premier lge. Basically like most of our squad he's a Championship player. |

Surprising the difference it can make to a player when the mamager has faith in them & gives them game time.
I would just like to see Bella Kotchap given some game time, I think he could be the best ctr back we have & we don't use him.
We'll never know how good he could be if he's not given game time.
I've not been impressed with THB this season, he looks out of his depth in Premier lge, too many mistakes & regularly out of position.
I know he's still quite young & should get better with age. (they say that about wine but it never does). |

I agree with this post.
RM had created a lazy, easy going mentality within the club, that is going to take a while to recover from.
And we need to clear out the lazy, non committed players who were guaranteed games with RM in charge.
It doesn't take long to destroy a club but it'll take an age to recover from it.
I just hope Ivan Juric is able to restore just little bit of pride & winning mentality into what is a very, very poor squad of players.
Unfortunately I don't think it will happen whilst SR own the club. |

I'm not saying that Juric is not part of the problem, but he's on a hiding to nothing (& so would any other coaches be) trying to get results with a bunch of non committed, inadequate players.
With the exception of Ramsdale & possibly Fernández none of the other players would get regular games at any other Premier lge club.
Some would struggle to get regular games in the Championship.
It's without any doubt the worst squad of players that I can personally remember playing for the club.
Sad to say that under the ownership of SR our Club has lost its identity & it's credibility & we're about to lose our Premiership status again.
I've got fed up with saying it, SR are not interested in winning football matches for our club as long as their group of investments are making money. [Post edited 10 Feb 12:16]

I'm not going to jump on the "get Juric out" bandwagon yet.
He's having to work with a bunch of players that just aren't good enough & some with bad " don't want to be here" attitudes.
There's not a Manager/ Coach on the Planet that could get results with this squad. [Post edited 9 Feb 13:10]

The damage has been done in the previous Transfer Windows.
We are where we are because of the clubs failure to bring in the right players in previous Transfer Windows ( & Managers) It's all gone to pot since SR took over.
It would achieve nothing spending heavily in this window when we are inevitably going to be playing in Championship next season.
SR's track record of buying & selling players ( & Managers) is very poor, until we get new owners we are in a spiralling decline. |

What's happened to our great club.
Why haven't we had any great players or anyone that would get into our top ten legends for the last 5 or more years.
There is not one player in our current squad that will be regarded as a club legend in the future.
Also who was the the last Manager we had that could ever be regarded as a club legend.
I can only think of two, Big Lawrie & Ted Bates.
You'll probably remind me of a few more. |

Franny would have carried on with 2 broken legs.
In those days every team needed a Franny.
OK he wouldn't have figured in our top ten legends but in his own right he was a club legend. |

I remember Franny Benali playing half a game with a broken arm, that's commitment.
You don't have to be a great player to be a legend.
Franny was not only a local lad he was a legend for us. |

Don't see all the fuss about Danny Ings.
If he was that good he would have got regular games at Villa.
He also failed to get games at West Ham.
He's an overated Journeyman.
Just because he was born in Winchester doesn't mean he's interested in playing for Saints.
He might get a game for Winchester City. |

How do you define a legend ?.
To be legend you don't have to be the best player.
Matt Le Tiss is a standout because of his ability & loyalty.
Mick Channon & Terry Paine because of their contribution.
Franny Benali + Jason Dodd + Nick Holmes were club legends because of their commitment to the club.
I think everybody will come up with their own ideas of legends. |

Your comment about Tall Paul being anonymous until he scored.
That's typical of most strikers, Haaland can be totally anonymous but scores when given the opportunity.
I would bet on Tall Paul given the same number of games as AA has had (note in Premier lge) TP will score at least twice as many goals as AA has contributed.
TP also gives the side a different dimension, an outlet to hit long balls to, he can hold a ball up & is deceptively good with his feet.
AA would not have scored the 2 goals that TP has recently scored.
Yes, we should have kept AA in this transfer window but only because we are now desperately short of strikers.
A couple of injuries & we're scuppered. |

My only concern about AA going out on loan is that it leaves us short of strikers.
But with AA's poor goalscoring record in Premier lge we ain't going to miss him.
Alright he does run around a lot but he just lacks the quality required for this level. |
