Signings

[Boo]

Watching MOTD, I feel like crying when I see the jewels uncovered by other teams over the summer. They never seem to come our way

They do but we sell them on for a pittance. Sess, riera, hendo, mignolet, etc etc

Bent never replaced adequately
Henderson essentially replaced by Larson
Sess replaced by altidore ;(

Altidore would have a hard job replacing a barn door. He certainly couldnt hit one.

I think Sess was a mixed talent, but he had more good moments than most
I just look at WHU, Swansea. Southampton, etc and wonder where we go wrong - all the time.

yup, heartbreaking - we don't get many decent breaks when it comes to players who are talented, cheap and potential match winners / game changers

We have basically imploded since we sold Bent (somebody said to me today).

...and I think that's fair. Gyan was unfortunate, but it's been plain poor since.

I don't quite guess this argument there is always going to be a team or two ahead of us who shouldn't be.

The club has no long term plan, we've been stumbling from one bad signing to another for the past five years

Why was Gyan unfortunate?

Why was Gyan unfortunate?

I don't think we intended him to leave so soon.

 

[sksk3021]

I don't think we intended him to leave so soon.

Or so late, it had been clear there was an issue for months.

Some of the posts in this thread, are as shit as Altidore's performance.

Been saying this for ages - our player recruitment policy is f***ing shite

Correct

Some really good signings we could easily have afforded in the summer.

Cresswell looks a good LB for 3 to 4 million.
Sackho
Amafiltano looks a great signing on a free (We got loads but missed him)

Mane at Saints

etc...

Cant be arsed to list them but there must be 10 to 15 bargains mid table teams picked up

Better scouting or dare I say it a director of football who knows what he is doing or looking at? Said it before sod the old audi see model. The Southampton model works for me.
