@PaulAntonybell @AJPfx_ Nope, Edozie is fine by me and I don’t think you’ll do too much better than Roerslev as a backup given Eckert’s reluctance to drop Bree. Top level striker and cb is all we need imo

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

I disagree with this.

#SaintsFC don’t look like the team from the end of last season. We have multiple gears left to find.

Not a guarantee we find them or that we reach the peaks of last season but I think we’re capable of more

[Ryan Dilks @RyanDilks1]

“Southampton are looking like the same side from the second half of last season” 💪

“The title isn’t out the question!” 👀

It’s 5 wins in 7 for Southampton!

I think they’re getting better and better👇

@PaulAntonybell @AJPfx_ You need a cb if you send Abbott back (and I'd argue regardless)

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@DB_247 I don't even think it's consistency tbh. Yes a few games have been levels below, especially away from home, but bar the second half against Millwall and perhaps Saturday I haven't watched us once and been wowed. I was frequently wowed in the last 19 games of last year

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ Cam Archer's got 0.86/90 at Auxerre. I presume you don't think he's going to hit 25 goals, or that he'd get even more in a top side

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ Ah yes, he is almost inevitably going to be better than Downs therefore £7m on him is worth it.

If he's kept scoring at .41 this season nobody would be suggesting him. Same thing as Vipotnik this Summer with people going crazy and wanting us to drop £20m, nobody thinks that now

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@DB_247 We were actually quite good against Bolton. That was a better performance than Bristol City was for example.

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ But somehow spending £7m on a player who is so obviously on a purple patch that's not going to last isn't? I wouldn't want to spend £7m on someone unless they were as close to a sure thing as you'd get, and definitely not on someone who couldn't step up.

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ And last season he got 7 in 25. In Belgium 5 in 32.

I think as a player sure he'd be lovely but not at any price Blackburn would deal at (I think it'd be more than £7m, but I wouldn't go that high anyway.)

And as for we don't have the money - Cyle Larin? Loan then £2.5m

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ I think there's this weird revisionism from last season. We shouldn't be after a Larin backup, we should be after a genuine rival to start. Ross was better last season, started 6 of the final 7 games and would've played Wembley. That is not Gudjohnsen

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ He's clearly on a purple patch. He's scored 8 from 2.5xG and I struggle to believe he's going to keep that up instead of reverting back to the average to good player he's been the rest of his career.

Plus, if we went up he'd immediately be nowhere near good enough

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@SFC_Standing @AJPfx_ We are not spending £7m on Gudjohnsen ffs

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@AJPfx_ Stewart, yes I agree - and we absolutely need to get better in January if we’re to seriously challenge for automatics - but we’re fine in midfield with Jander/JWP/Downes all being fit now.

Top striker and cb in January is the order of business

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@JJDooley3 We were 21st after 13 games, and 14th after 30

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

Concerning number of Wednesday fans appear to think there's a tiny, <1% chance they could pull Kieran McKenna

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ZXChen_16 Juric was a big fan, he just didn't want to throw him into action before relegation was confirmed. Archer is running into 20 yards of space every week in behind the defence which he'd never get playing for us in the Champ

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

Quite funny that the two “first team” loans this season which are proving a success are happening under Ivan Juric and Will Still #SaintsFC

[Christian Lovegrove @Saints_CJL]

#SaintsFC 𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗡 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 😇🚨

𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗥 🇯🇲 scores his fifth goal of the season for Auxerre. He rescues his side from a 1-0 deficit with 20 minutes left to play.

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@ZXChen_16 Archer and Robinson wouldn't be doing what they're doing here under any manager. Perhaps it might wake some fans up to the fact that we did not in fact hire 7 horrendous managers on the bounce but there are some deeper issues

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@willlester37 Yeah it’s going to need business in Jan

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@HammerTiIIiDie @liamtribb What happened was the murder of innocent people and the fact he posted that three days after cannot be taken as evidence of his support for everything that’s happened three years after. Do not be ridiculous.

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@HammerTiIIiDie @liamtribb October 10, 2023 - I wonder if anything had just happened that the idf might have been needed for

[Sam @Sam__SFC]

@WestHam_Central He does this most weeks
