Exactly this. I also want to know if it’s true we signed Simms cos he was offered to us, and whether the same happened with Thomas. Also “Kitching: WTF?”
Nah. Simms will come good, you can tell there’s a player in there. Wright is a right off. Play him on the wing then sign an actual wide forward in Jan and hope someone is dumb enough to have Wright for say £4/5m
It’s so weird. It’s always been something we’ve been spot on with, player attitude. How have we managed to not just sign duds but lazy pussies as well?
It’s about who we signed. MvE no one has an issue with dropping £3M on. Simms too seemed OK. Wright, Kitching, Collins and to some extent Thomas all seem weird signings. Not to mention the complete refusal to sign a CM.
Good. I don’t want decent players. I want the ones we used to sign who can play football and give a shit. Let Southampton have Haji Wright and the Barnsley Boys.
Our best performers are all players from L1 and that should shame a bunch of multi million pound signings. Doesn’t change that those players often weren’t even first team last season so clearly shouldn’t be out stand out players this year. £20m spent or not.
Booing is the dumbest shit you can do in the ground without leaving your seat TBH. Does absolutely nothing. But equally I don’t see how you can watch us this season and be shocked the fans aren’t happy. Do they really not think they’ve been that poor?
We’ve got a lot of talent to come back. Arguably our four best players. We just need to sort the fucking defence out. Figure out who our best back line is and play them until they know each other inside out. Then in Jan sign at least two CMs for no more than £1.5m each.
At the very least I’d sack the entire recruitment team. It’s been an unmitigated disaster and we can’t risk spending the rest on their recommendations.
