Could he? I wasn't aware that we already had (and then duly kept!) Lukaku, Coleman, Barkley, Mirallas etc. Similarly, I wasn't aware that we were willing to pay £30m for Bolasie, £20m for Morgan, £10m for Williams, £8m for Gueye, £10m for Lookman - all whilst selling just one (very over-rated, in my view) player.

Alternatively of course, if you believe that with our current squad he could have us safely up in 7th place right now (almost as close to 4th, as to 8th), then that says a massive amount about Puel.

(Apologies if I've got the price tags slightly out)
They've also got some rank bad players as well.
 
A second City goal soon please, to hopefully open the floodgates. Swansea have just started to turn the corner, and amongst those bottom six sides, I do see them and Leicester as the most capable of going on a great run to pull away.
 
IMO the bottom half of the table and the fight for safety will be good with plenty of twists and turns. You would think a team on 30 points at this stage of the season would be within sight of the safety line. Everyone else below that is fighting for survival. In a curioius way I would like the teams at the bottom to continue to pick up points, and if Saints are dragged into the dogfight by March, so be it. It will be test of everything that Saints possess and will thus avoid the season fading away into obscurity.

Lose to Sunderland and we are in a relegation fight. Win and all is good.
