    Aluko a striker? Your having a laugh. Aluko is ****, so is Sago. If we stay up, and I believe we will we need 1 Striker at least and 2 quality midfielders who can actually get the ball to our strikers. Then it's game on. Our midfield has been our major weakness this season and cost us plenty.

    Absolutely zero hindsight from me. As I said I distinctly remember saying it during a game. As I clearly said in my post, he was a nuisance which caused problems and he gave us much needed pace but his quality, and in particular his finishing, was poor.

    Agreed. I was always more a semolina man myself.

    I know Mrs Long was a bit funny about the move before it happened, but I'm sure sure changed her mind when she got here, like most people I suppose.

    It was more because she's from London/Reading and wanted to be near her mates.

    It's still a pain in the arse to get to London from Southampton, there's a direct train from Hull to London KX takes just over 2 1/2 hours. Southampton about 1 1/2 hours to Waterloo, depending on where you want to go, it might be a similar time.
