    We need to do whatever it takes to win every game we play. It’s a half season of cup finals. We don’t have the luxury of resting our most threatening players.

    Hopefully Alcaraz is seen as an upgrade for our AM options. Although all of this seems a bit futile with the Merthyr Magath in charge.

    We have 9 days until the Everton game. This needs to be the first of 3 or 4 in that gap if we want to at least compete with them.

    On paper Orsic seems like a good addition. Must admit that my excitement on new signings has hit an all time low given our recent non performances as I just don't see how new players can make any difference unless we also change formation and tactics which seems unlikely.

    Orsic? SSN says it's a done deal, medical in progress.

    Yes. His claim to fame is scoring a hat-trick against Spurs to dump them out of the EL. He's 30 so brings good experience and he's a good player. Will certainly add some much needed threat to our attacking play.

    Yeah this. I don’t see how a 5”10 winger helps if we play the same style. Need a big target man for him to ever get the ball

    The data metrics suggest he's good at looking in the air when the ball sails over his head, so let's get him in. 75% looking in the air success rate.

    Well, this is just frickin' typical... i'm never down on Saints, the manager, the board etc. My glass is always half full and despite over 35+ years of heartbreak, supporting Saints, i always try and stay positive. I'm proud to say i've been on the side of the happy clappers most of the time.

    Today however, i decided to ditch my Mr Happy socks, join the bedwetters army and publicly denounce Nathan Jones and the **** decision to bring him to St Mary's. I even said he's about as useful as tits on a fish, for god's sake! Moving to this side of the fence wasn't easy. It took courage and belief in my inner misery that i never knew i had. As the day has progressed i felt strangely at ease being a negative Saints fan, but now SR pop up and announce a half decent signing!?! WTF am i supposed to feel now?! I give up. Let's just hope they don't confuse me even further with another 3 or 4 decent signings!! :emoticon-0138-think

    Frankly I don’t want half decent, or even decent signings playing under Jones.
