    The board ****ed up in Jan. But I am still willing to wait to see what happens. If they **** up this window, then questions need to be asked.

    This.

    We all know that we ****ed up the last 2 windows but they have more than enough credit in the bank at the moment.

    Simply have to get it right this Summer though.

    They've made some good signings on paper. You've got to win games on the pitch.

    Palace last season
    Newcastle the season before
    Many other teams before that.....

    So may teams do it and fail. Let's jus be patient. See what we have come 1st September and see how the new coach deals with it all.

    Not sure they ****ed up. They just forgot the striker last summer who was on the next page of the list to sign :)

    No.

    They can sign who they like. Means nothing. More pressure on the Dutch twat which will be fun.

    I'm Just interested in how our new coach does.

    Why do we need a marquee signing?

    I'd be happy if we sign an unknown who turns out to be the dogs bollocks.

    I just couldn't care less if i tried. Don't care if Ron's under pressure or a roaring success.

    Don't care who they sign or don't sign, like you I'm only interested in us really.

    I'm not saying we do, I'm just saying that we have a trend of making a marquee signing each year towards the end of the window.
    Boufal
    Virgil
    Mane/Toby
    Osvaldo
    Gaston

    Not saying that they are all good. But at the time they signed they all had a "wow ok that's a good signing by Saints factor".

    I'm just wondering who it might be this year if we do make one.

    I quite liked the kit launch. Always so much moaning among football fans so it was nice to see something different and unique.

    I certainly enjoyed it as well. Was something different. My girlfriend also liked it, and she rolls her eyes at anything related to football.

    I don't the only they were all marquee signings.

    Boufal was relatively unknown
    Virgil was good in a **** league
    Mane was unknown/Tony an unsuccessful Dutch export to Spain

    Osvaldo and Gaston I'll give you as Cortese marquee style signings.

    The fact some of those have gone on to be excellent doesn't mean they were marqueee signings at the time.

    It was light hearted entertainment. Some people take life far too seriously.

    Agree with this aside from Boufal. He had been linked to some top clubs such as Liverpool and we broke our transfer record to sign him. I'd say that qualified as marquee

    If we are going to make one, It has to be a DM, Who can partner Oriol personally.
