Exactly. People sagging off Bournemouth need to compare our business with theirs. They have set piece experts, genuine pacy forwards, players like Ake at the back. Our scouting has been very poor for a while. Just hope Roy gets an input into the type of players he needs next month.

My slight worry is that by sticking to the same or nearly the same 11 each week the fringe players will lose heart and the regulars will lose their hunger. If we lose on Saturday I would advocate a few changes just to shake things up a bit.

They certainly didn't invest in the staff canteen at the training ground. Condemned by the health people. Oops

This is quite astonishing i agree. Even if Schlupp turned out to be a first team regular key to our success. At the time of signing he was a bit part player for leicester and they hardly showed much desire to keep him. How on earth do you end up paying so much for him in terms of salary?

I’m not disputing this but can I ask how you know it? |

He may receive £70k per week but he definitely doesn't earn it.

I have seen this reported in several places also.

RH did say he has been an admirer of Ayew for sometime ( even though Ayew is not a target man ) . RH also said that Sorloth was his main target in the January Window .

I thought those signings marked a low point. I'd never heard of Sorloth and I wish I'd never heard of Ayew. Too much money that we'll never ever recoup.

So Roy has no say ? If that is true then Freedman should go as well.

We signed Sakho for £30 million at a time when we had no manager in place. |

He can’t be on 70k per week surely.
More like 30-40k

The theme that runs through so many transfer windows is a failure to prepare. When van Dijk went to Liverpool from Saints it was annouced a couple of days before the window opened, so there is nothing to prevent clubs talking beforehand. Parish claims* clubs our size have to wait for the market to move ('bargain hunt' at the end of the window) but other modest clubs seem to quietly get transfers done. Sorloth is a great example of this failure - we desperately needed a striker but my sense is with Sako making a great impact we put that on hold until he was injured v West Ham. So we paid 9M for Sorloth who had recently gone for 400k as we were right against the deadline. The result of this is we then go to the next window and claim to have no money, which may be true but is entirely the fault of vanity signings (Sakho and Benteke) and the overpaying for the likes of Sorloth and Schlupp (amongst others). Getting a Les Read type in and putting a proper infrastructure into the club would be a far better use of our resources. Failure to prepare is preparing to fail and that seems to be the order of the day at present.
* the claim by Parish the Americans insisted on signing Benteke seems rather far fetched. Possibly trying to deflect his failings in recruitment to blame an easy scapegoat. |

We should sell Sakho and sign a couple of players at least for the money .... I get the feeling he doesn't particularly love it here.
