FFS, these lot are useless no signings how long now? It's about time they sell up and give that Storey fella a chance! He will at least spend ffs! Sorry, I'm having here we go withdrawal so made up a mad but 100% could be said by some post to entertain my self!
A CB, a CM, and a versatile attacking midfielder/forward would suit me fine. (Unless Neil goes) 09, Ballard and selt I reckon will make it. O9 keeps surprising every time we make a step up , he follows and ups his game. Question marks over Alese and Helje but even they may surprise us A new GK would be good, but I won't write Patto off. I don't understand people wanting us to buy a gk, 2 CBs, 3 more midfielders and a CF as a minimum
Think the reason people want 2 CBs, myself included, is o9 is injured at thr minute, unclear when he will be back. Ballard has played 50% or less of our league matches in 2 of our 3 season and Seelt has played 19 senior games in his career. I would want 5 CBs due to that, I'd loan Alese and Hjelde out and keep the rest. Think we need 3 CFs, I don't think Abdullahi is ready to be relied on our 3rd choice striker. Id be hoping for Cbx2 GK CM (2 if neil goes or id get a RM) Versatile forward CF
I've been really impressed by Seelt in preseason so far, all be its been 45 minute showings and I'm not betting against o9 stepping up However, CB is such a vital position and if we can bring in 2 quality players we should - 5 CBs isn't overload, especially when a few of them can cover other positions. Ballard hasn't proved he can stay fit in the 3 years he's been with us, same here Alese so id be worried if we only brought 1 in

It’s the mutant mile, nowt surprises me about the high street. my IQ goes sky when I have to go into Shirley
@RTB not sure why I couldn’t quote your reply but yeah, if any of you come to Southampton, please avoid Shirley high street
Ballard has the potential to step up but let’s not let recent bias step in, he has been hit and miss at champ level so needs to prove consistency too
around this time last night I moaned about how quiet it was then something (minor) happened.... so lets go again!
