    What! I have a 1:1 with my manager for 30 mins and come back and we have signed a striker! Proves a watched kettle never boils lol.

    I agree, although I'm not totally surprised. We're told SR want to build a multi-club organisation and I think they'll struggle to do that if their flagship club gets relegated within 18 months of them taking over because they've failed to address weaknesses in the squad.

    He doesn’t so much soar above defenders, he just squashes them flat.

    Personally, I'd be delighted if he flattens Tripper when we play Newcastle in the league.

    *when he gets the ball he's no slouch
    He'll score more goals than Peter Crouch
    Onuacho Southamptons no.9


    (Obviously need to take the 9 shirt off Armstrong.)

    The burning question is....


    ...will Sally Sue's "long throws" finally find a target?

    That's a lot of striker.

    I'm looking forward to watching the video of TIOOno7 eating his own head if our other signing is successful :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I shouldn't think this way but I do...

    If we do end up going down he's exactly the sort of player you'd think would bring us straight back up.

    I would’ve been excited by Vitinha because of his potential and his profile, but I’m pretty happy with this. We have been crying out for: aerial threat, physical presence, ability to finish and link play and I think Onuachu has shown those things over a sustained period.

    Caveat: it’s only been done in the Belgian and Danish leagues so far, but he’s definitely earned his shot.

    Long term I'd take Vitinha hands down. But we need short term and I think Onuachu will be better for us in the short term.

    I’ve never seen him play. Not that I care. Blind trust in the SR database!
