GIW, think positive thoughts only and runs are there to be broken. You're starting to sound a bit like Neil Redfearen. If I thought like you maybe I'd be good at betting or wouldn't even gamble maybe 🤔

LIG I am positive. I don't see us losing. Score draw my opinion.

GIW now stop sitting on the fence and being slightly neutral. I expect you to be 100% positive and feel the win, maybe 5-0 to the mighty whites. MOT

With Virgil van moving to Scousers next week, tis inevitable Soton will bid for you know who. What do posters think we must do? What do posters think we will do? I'm normally an advocate of sell for big money if it's there but not on this occasion because it will derail us. That said, it could be an opportunity to take almost half of that 75m. Low money like 20m odd wouldn't cut it. 40m and a loan back til end of May and I'm on board! Discuss!

They aren’t going to pay that money in January then leave him here till the summer. Because they will still need to buy for the now. The premier league riches is worth way more than we will get for Pontus so for that reason I’m out. Having said that I don’t think we will have any choice if he demands to move but hopefully will have reassurances we are going to make a few transfer to push us up. I believe a fit Danny Ings would be enough this window to see us up. Berardi is a cable left back. Our keeper is not going to be replaced so pointless talking of a replacement for him. And I can’t see anyone better available than what we have everywhere else.

If Southampton make an offer, and the board accepts it, and Jannson wants to go, then he'll go. You never know Pennington could come good and we could spend the money on three or four decent players to get us up.

Don't think that it's inevitable that they will in January GIW. With £75m in the bank the sinners may decide to go for someone with proven PL experience. I remember reading that the favourite was a CB at Boro, can#t remember his name though. Don't think he'll leave in Jan, if we don't go up this season then I fear he'll leave in the summer.

i agree i think saints will go for better, pontus is ok but been found out a little now bartley (who is the better defender) has left. personally i would take 20 mill as i don't think pontus is good (he is good but not 20 million good) and think we could get in two defenders who are better for 20 mill and have change for left back which is our most important position now the cat has stepped upto the plate

Bermo, I thought you liked Berardi? You're always raving about him but now you want a new lb. 😜

Think Pontus agent will already be on the case

Gibson from Boro more likely for southampton than pontus. If they really want him then we need to ask for big bucks and invest in the goal scoring centre half from bristol.

Agree1 Disagree0

have i not mentioned that i am not a fan of beradi on the left, sorry my bad I thought I had, anyway yes i prefer my LB to have a left foot. I think gibson from borro is a good shout and a better defender so more likely to make the prem move. I like pontus but not sure he is prem quality and think anything over 20 mill would be great and would add to few players which squad could do with. personally i think pontus would go for between 12-15

If they come in for him, he will go. His form dipped last time rumours were abound. Realistically we should get $18 - $20 mill for him. Although if they got $75 mill. nothing wrong with trying for $25-$28 mill! I would spend the lot on 1 gk, 2 ch and a striker!

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Dec 2017 05:41:46
Not sure lb is anywhere as important as a new gk and ch and striker bermo. What plate did the wielderbeast step up to? I must have missed it. As did he most likely!

Not sure why they would accept payment in $ I think they would be wasting their time - shocking exchange rate😂 pound sterling, old boy ££££.

Aussie. We've started using pounds ££££ here in the UK now !

Does that make getting a good left footed CB all the more important. One who can also cover well at LB until the summer. Also, I assume that Borthwick-Jackson is not impressing on the training pitch as he would be ideal LB defender/attacker if TC can find the button and switch him on.

Watched the game last night cause of work comitements. A win is a win i suppose. Couple remarks made down below that i wish to comment on. The table never lies is true in a way but it can deceive. We were top after playing easier teams then crashed when it got tougher and are now working out way up again against lower teams. let's hope the wins breeds a habit and that we can carry on winning when it gets tougher. Wield sometimes panics when the opposition is attacking? Interesting but true comment. Our 2 priorities are 1 goalkeeper. He was nervous, had bad timing as usuall and distribution was iffy. i'm sorry if i missed his two good games but he hasn't improved and will cost us more points. 2. Striker. Roofe is in form and deserves his place but lassoga is useless. We haven't got any cover for roofe as no other striker on our books has proved they can score. Roofe can be bossed about a bit. We do need a proper left back at some point and cover at ch. but not necessary yet and berahdi def dosent deserve dropping. On the burton game. They are rubbish and although we had lots of possesion, we didn't do much in the way of goal threat with it. Lots of passes no penetration. Good to see pontus nearly back to prev form though.

Ausman great post mate reflection on where we are and why we will need major investment to take us to the next step, a couple of decent players who are able to play in the PL will cost should we find any that will drop down.

I think anyone would admit when we lost to so called tougher teams we were on a stinker of a run. These tougher teams will have their bad spells.

Agree2 Disagree1

28 Dec 2017 17:51:04
Lets hope we have had our bad run against the better teams and that TC has learnt from it so we will not lose so many in the second half of the season. Every team has a wobble during the season (usually) if we have had ours and others are yet to wobble we need to be ready to take advantage. MOT

TC is managing the squad are wolves and derby doing the same
