    He’ll be off in the summer if we go down I’d expect. Too many teams were allegedly looking at him for him to stay

    He tried to gee up the crowd when the moaned at a back pass in the first half too, which I actually liked.

    Do you think he’ll stick around?

    He had a goal and an assist within his first four matches still though so still contributed, was just raw as ****.

    Much better team admittedly.

    3 managers have tried to get a tune out of these players. Pep or Klopp would struggle to make them even a mid table side. Every new player just gets sucked into this vortex of mediocrity.

    F*ck, I completely forgot about him. Ridiculous he's not at least on the bench.

    Edozie can actually beat a man and control a football. He doesn’t fit in with the Southampton way.

    Unless you aimlessly pass it backwards and sideways before giving it away, you’re relegated to the B team.

    Yeah, he had a better team around him though. Much, much better.

    Really hope so. Maybe a promoted team might put in a bid, but I think Selles (if he stays on as manager) realises that we need leaders.

    There’s something weird going on in our club. What’s happened to Orsic and DCC? Why did we buy them when we had Bednarek coming back and Sulemana and Alcaraz coming in?

    Not sure, we played them in the 79 league cup final and they one 3-2
    Ok think he scored. So. It sure the gripe. He then followed the money to Manure and did **** all, so maybe just a bitter man

    We bought DCC in the summer when we shipped Bednarek off. Orsic was signed right at the start of Jan so maybe Sulemana wasn’t seen as an option til later? Orsic was definitely a weird signing though

    I really thought DCC would be our best CB this season.

    Mainly it seems that our recruitment like to buy people around the dangerous 15-20m price range. There is so much bang average being bought for that amount these days. You really have to be brave and get up to 30-40m before you find the proper game-changers.

    Simples chaotic management and no strategy. Knee jerk time

    Yeah I snuck that in as you were quoting!

    I get your point, and like I say I'm not writing him off completely (as that'd be absurd at his point), but there's no comparison between the two* imo and he's certainly not what we needed at this point in time.

    *Despite a lot writing Mane off early on there were still plenty who saw a player in there right from the off. Not sure many people are as confident with Sulemana.

    I still think he probably is our best centre back with ABK. Just doesn’t seem to have the attitude. He was very highly rated a few years ago and was linked with top teams so maybe his attitude is the reason he ended up here

    Probably for 50% of what we paid, as we realise our wage bill is 150% of turnover in the champ as we have signed yet again another bloated squad deprived of real quality

    Yeah regardless if we stay up we need a big clear out. We have something like 35 players going into next season

    Genuinely awful, once again. I don't even have enough annoyance to rant any further about that ****.
