I think we need a new centre back and a new midfielder and many a new left mid but there's no point spending money if we don't have to

Unbelievable1
I think all we need is a Centre back and a winger. After that it should be a case of if we can get someone to improve the team on a fair deal then good.

I think it would be nice if we could have most of the Barcelona line up

I hope we dont lose Gaston in the transfer market he has proved quality in my opinion
Believable3
Unbelievable1
He won't be going anywhere this season as he has already played for 2 teams, and the rules state that a player may not play for 3 teams in a season

I can't believe some people are taken in by media garbage such as the Gaston rumour. We just bought him in the summer! No way in hell is he leaving. Inter and Milan don't have the finances to buy Gaston from us. First they would have to sell and even then it would take an amazing offer for NC to even consider letting him leave so please don't take the paper talk too seriously.
Agree3

Gaston has had flashes of brilliance countered by periods of 'very-ordinaryness'.
IMO, he has not yet consistently delivered up to expectations.
However, I reckon, as he settles more and learns his team-mates styles and foibles, he will then become the nugget that he was held out to be and more.
So, no way can he go - simples.
Agree3
Disagree1
I think he's got better and better. The last few games I have been impressed. Not as much as he cost impressed but still impressed
Agree1
Disagree1
Might help playing him in his best position and not on the left wing recently and with no Lallana we don't have anything on the left. Love Luke Shaw but at this stage he will not overlap as there is no cover for him if he loses the ball or the attack breaks down and would hate to be caught out of position. Ramirez is a truly class player but needs quick thinking forwards to read his game. Definitely need a classy left sided defensive midfielder who can win the ball and also cover Luke who I am sure could get forward and fire the ball in to feet. Billy Sharp still think you should be here!!
Agree0
Disagree0
Sharp is not the solution! We need a bit better pacey options [Mayuka, Lee and De Ridder are not good enough for the Premiership] Sharp is a poacher, championship level at best. Ramirez has flashes of genious but isn't consistent

Really would have preffered to have our signings by now before the villa game but we must all apreciate NC and NA work for the club. Probs the agents wanting bigger clubs to get involved.
Believable1
Unbelievable1
I reckon we'll be ok on Saturday. We'll field virtually the A-team and the way the Villa's defense has been found wanting of late, Rickie could have a field day.
Agree2
Disagree2
The A team without Fonte(been very impressive recently) and Adam is definitely the B team. We have no squad depth in their positions. Games tick by and if we leave it too late to sign anybody to get us more solid, well will there be enough points left in the season? As Nigel said when we eventually got Gaston that he needed time to acclimatise himself with the team. Don't think we will have that time with new players if we don't act now.

I saw Theo Walcott driving around a roundabout in Chandlers Ford five years ago maybe he was considering rejoining Saints.

Ideal signings;
Astori
Douglas
Both into starting 11
Coutinho
Cover for Ad's and punch. Possible replacement if punch doesn't renew his current deal!
Believable4
Unbelievable0
Ideal signings really are just the good cover in the right positions.
Agree0
Disagree0
Would be good, but can't help thinking there are better players than Coutinho for £10-12m e.g Wellington Nem. Don't get me wrong, I'd be delighted if we signed him but it always seems we have to pay that little bit more to get outer targets :)

To be fair astori starting ovcourse but douglas maybe not i meen yoshida and fonte have improed but admitadly make mistakes but 2 new cbs together on there debue risky and knowind NA he wont start both and coutihnio should start for lalana whilst hes injured all respect to guly thow and then maybe n stead of punch or swtch it around
