Oh it doesn't excuse the poor transfers that we have brought in over the last 2.5yrs of SR's ownership, that's the biggest reason why we're in the position we're in right now. I'm just saying that I don't think SR have had more or less "duds" then we did previously, we just aren't in a position now where our squad can cover for the duds in the same way that we did 10 years ago.
I noticed this guy was loaned out 6 weeks after Still arrived at Lens. Maybe Will kept an eye on him St Pauli and was impressed?
I have never had delusions of grandeur as a Saints fan. I have never ever felt entitled as a Saints fan as you’d be mad too. However, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton have been good at uncovering little and profitable gems. For god sake when we were promoted we signed the frontline of a team that were relegated. How was that ever going to work out well for us. Last time in the Championship signed a striker for £12m who had a long term injury and this is his third season with us and he’s played less than ten games
I was looking at Bournemouth's transfers/signings today - estentially all the profitable ones were signed recently for €20m+ which is solid outlay for a diddy club - most priced beyond our top signings. Prior to this glut of lucrative sales they've tended to hang on to their players. As have Branford, Mbeumo, Toney and Raya really their only particulary lucrative sales; an area we still do very well in.
