Just give it Rudkin to complete the whole experience.

Just had a look, we've won one game in 15 since he was sacked. That's Leicester City in the Championship. The club is absolutely rotten to the core.

Fun Fact - Southampton have scored the last four goals in fixtures between both clubs

Good time to get it with us just about out the running for the play offs. Back to back relegation anyone?

If JJ is not contractually obligated to sign for us if we pay the fee then he'd be mental to sign up to this shitshow and basket case of a club. Far too good for us.

I disagree with that. For me Lookman wasn't as good as Barnes and was another expensive squad player, he looked adequate but not stand out. I wouldn't have bought him either if I was running the club.

Kone looked a no brainer, just turned 22 in July and had no academy background. He got to Wycombe the hard way from the depths of the lower leagues and was the League One POTY. I've always said you won't go far wrong buying the best young player from the league below like we did when we bought Maddison. Everything just screamed potential and rough diamond coupled with a low transfer fee. I'm not sure if we were ever in for him but I 'd rather take my chances on half a dozen Kone types than one Skipp who we knew wasn't good enough for Tottenham and has been in the game long enough that we knew he'd just abour reached his ceiling.

Dropped, rested, call it what you want but big performances tonight and they will keep their places.

Just been to this tonight and on the way out was aggressively approached by an old little skinny guy who said we were shit and had no fans. He then asked if I wanted some and if I did he would give it to me.

Burnley were impressed enough by him to pay £14m, there must have been a player there at some point. Loan with an option sounds good to me, we're never going to get a player that ticks every box and doesn't come with some sort of risk.

I'm still miffed we didn't get Ghezzal with an option to buy when he had no suitors but us and was languishing in Monaco reserves. As you imply though it's a risk with little downside and potential upside on players who look like a gamble.

Just thinking that, it's an oxymoron. It's either mandatory or an option, perhaps it's just bad English from someone whose English is not a first language and it's an obligation? An obligation to buy makes far more sense than a loan with an option for a players who walks into our first XI.

Not with an "option to buy". I hate these deals, if he excels then our ceiling is fixed and if he bombs or gets a serious injury then he's back here. All downside and no upside.

Difference is we really didn't want or need those two to be here, BEK would still be a huge benefit to our team and promotion hopes.

Absolutely not, if no one wants to buy you then that's not the club's fault and BEK will have to get on with it. If he is one of our best players he either gets sold or stays, no half arsed loans. If the club have not been unreasonable wit their demands then surely he understands this and gets on with it.
