Southampton_Eagle At the after party 19 Dec 16 6.03pm
Originally posted by ideaair y do we have such a long list of players injured? Groin, Knees, hamstrinnnnnngs. Is it to do with the playing surface of the training ground or the continual watering of the pitch prior to the start of a match and again at half time. I still think selling Bolasie to buy Bentece was a poor move as was the signimg of Townsend- A positive for the tean is the form of Hennessey , he has kept our defeats to one goal, but I expect AP will drop him as soon as Steve bandana is fit so expect Hennessey to look for a move. Benteke has scored more league goals in under half a season than our top scorers in the last two seasons. If you think that's a waste of money then you're clueless.

I imagine January will see us sell Sako back to Wolves and Flamini released to France. Mutch if there are any offers. I would like to see us sign any of Robertson, Ben Davies or Charlie Taylor at left back. Then the next priorities are in order: Striker Left Winger Central Playmaker Not a priority but a signing I'd like to see is James McCarthy. We'll probably only get 2 or 3 in tops and knowing us it won't be a left back!

Originally posted by Beanyboysmd I have been trying to work out what the squad needs in the transfer window. This is what i think we need... Replacement for Remy, Wickham and Soure Alternatives for off form players: Townsend, Puncheon, Flamini, Ward, Ledley, Kelly and possibly Cabaye Possibly extra depth given our constant injury problems. So I think we need a winger, 2 strikers, an attacking midfielder, at least 2 central midfielders and a left back... I hope those Americans have deep pockets!!! At the start of the season were brought in Tomkins but let two squad members leave - hence we were one down already. We have since lost Soaure. Our priority is Defence, Defence and Defence.

Losing Wickham Souare and Remy is a blow. AT playing so badly has compounded our weakness. We need a striker no way can we gamble on Benteke being fit all season, a left back, a centre back, that's the bare minimum it will not be easy to get the quality we need and it will cost big money.

Originally posted by speediej I think that our attack and midfield shouldn't be priority this window. In my opinion the players we have in these positions will do enough to keep us up, and focus on improving that side of our team next season. I think we should get a completely new back four. Our back four is shocking, definitely a new rb and lb and at least one cb. I think our keepers would preform better with a completely new defence. Even though I am very much PardewOut the only thing that I feel he could do to get his playing style to work is sign some quality defenders. Goals are not a problem this season, it is just stopping them and I think if we could stop leaking goals we will rise the table, but I would still like a new manager. Maybe we need at least 1 forward as if Benteke gets injured we are f***** Edited by speediej (19 Dec 2016 3.11pm) You are right about the back four. If Pards wants to continue this attacking style they must all be replaced. They are all uncomfortable with the ball at their feet and have no pace whatsoever. Love to get Charlie Taylor for LB. He looks class

Where do you think we are going to find these Premier standard players, who are better than we have in January?

Bizarre, pretty much a straight swap that has helped us score more goals than any team outside the top five and you think it was bad? Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

CrazyBadger Ware 20 Dec 16 10.47am
need a whole new left side - LB, and LM. I'm Happy with Ward and Zaha on right(for now!), but we have no threat on left, so the opposition don't have too much to worry about it...unless they Are attacking, then they target it! - I'd like to see us sign someone who can deliver a ball into the box! A Support Striker for CB is needed if Remy isn't coming back anytime soon.. and a new CB, though Dann/Delaney are a good enough combo to keep us up so: in order of priority: LB LM ST CB "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"
