We don't need players. With Mooy back, we will start winning games and stay up on the last day. Hope Karlan is the answer to our goal drought because I think we have a great midfield, an ok defence for this league. Get the goals and we could still stay up. Just wish all hope wasn't pinned on 1 young striker. We needed a couple of attacking additions

As an aside, when we appeared not to be signing a striker during the last window, I questioned why we couldn’t have gone and got Danny Ings before he signed for Southampton and was shot down. Not good enough, injury prone, blah blah blah. 7 goals in 15 games this season. Just remind me how many Mounie & LDP have scored. 😉 More to do with his wages I'd have thought. Plus the fact that we were probably the 19th most attractive PL club. Memory to suit his 'I told you saw'. Not many wouldn't have wanted Ings if feasible.

You don't half spout some bollocks. You do realise we spent £30m plus in the summer. Kongolo, Lossl and Flo were all bought, on top of Bacuna, Sobhi, Diakhaby and Mbenza. If that's not good money, I don't know what is. I appreciate in hindsight we may not have spent the money very successfully, but we did spend it. Also Dean, with his alleged health issues, is beyond reproach for anything that has happened this season. Kongolo, Flo £4.5m and Lossl £2.25m didn't improve us, just kept us where we were. We then signed Mbenza on loan, £3m, Sobhi £3m and Diakhaby £8m and sold Ince £12m and Malone to Derby £3m Lolley and Hef £1m total. Not great. £21m net spend. Actual net spend on improving the squad -£2m. Our summer signings included Pritchard, Kongolo, Sobhi, Flo, Lossl, Diakhaby, Bucuna, Mbenza, Durm, Hamer, We spent over 55m on these guys and not paid for Mbenza yet.

Not got your whit obviously 'Emptihad' brilliant just brilliant. I also think it's great when we encourage other fans with differing views to not renew their season ticket. Email the club see what they think of that approach. Would be great to live in an echo chamber wouldn't it.

I laugh at the scores of posts pulling names out of the air as strikers who would ( have ) kept us up. You could put Mo Salah in the team and we would still go down. How quickly you have all forgotten what has brought you all the success, euphoria and hope of the past two years? The assembling and management of a group of players who are capable of a team achievement beyond expectations and well beyond their individual capabilities is a very special culmination of graft and commitment from a lot of people. How often have the money bags teams failed after throwing money at serial marquee signings? How many times has Mourinho failed when in charge of teams whose combined value is 20 times that of Huddersfield.
I hope the bed welters on here never have to face a period of real hardship in their own personal lives. With the attitude you display, you will all clearly throw in the towel at the first sniff of trouble.

Completely agree. All I'm saying is we've spend just over £1m for Grant.....Could we have perhaps signed 2 or 3 more from League 1/2 for similar fees? Spending perhaps £5m - £6m in total. Sign them now and they get 90+ days with us until the end of the season.....They don't get that if / when we sign them in the summer....I recon we'll sign 2 or 3 prospects from League 1/2 in the summer, so why not get them now and give them more time with us ahead of next season? You have to pay them a wage? Agreed. However, I would think we have enough money to pay 2 or 3 wages of lads from League 1 or 2 for an extra few months. As I say, I recon that amongst the transfers this coming summer will be 2 or 3 young lads from League 1 or 2, similar to Grant. I doubt Jan Siewert will scout them himself. I would bet they've already been identified. So it might have been advantageous to get them in now and give JS an extra 90 days or so to work with them and imbed his ideas.

And all but 3 of them were a waste of money - and two of them I'm now thinking were over priced - although to be fair I didn't think so at the time. I will leave others to guess the 3 that I mean but it's not rocket science to work it out!!

My point was that anybody that played for us last year wasn't an improvement on last year they were already hear so we had to sign them to stand still. On actual strengthening we spent £16m and sold £16m.

the sheep is a metaphor for people who turn up week in week out happy to be served whatever that isnt me when i pay my money i have an expectation. maybe a right to expect a team showing desire to be well organised and compete i dont expect us to turn in to laughing stock of division. Shame there isn't a happy clapper emoji. Would suit plenty on here. It's shame there isn't an emoji of Victor Meldrew clutching a broken record, which would suit you down to the ground.

The criticism of Pritchard has almost all happened since Mooy’s injury. Mooy and Pritchard together was excellent. The absence of a real striker has brought down the perceived performance of the whole team. We have required one for over 12 months. Being a results business, goals matter. A lot.

Maybe Wagner knew that we would be spending nothing and thought, if the club have thrown the towel in I’ll get off

Dean Hoyle is surely well past spending silly money to try and buy us out of this relegation mess as what is the point now with such a big points gap .
Surely any big signings would have been done deals when the window first opened as it was not rocket science " THEN OR NOW " that we needed at least two quality strikers to give us a chance .
These could have been loan players on an end of season contract which could be extented
We now seem to be heading for plan b , and just hope Hoyle has done the right thing by trusting a " RELITIVELY UNKNOWN " with all funds that surely will include parachute payments

If ever the phrase “journeyman striker” was invented for somebody it’s Vaughan You're right, of course, because Pompey will be, I think, his 11th club. But if, in an alternate universe, we were able to sign a James Vaughan, aged 30, who had never suffered a serious injury, we'd be fucking hugging ourselves. I agree, I actually quite liked him especially when we had the partnership of him and Beckford, but he was so unreliable fitness wise. He also had a tendency to do a few stupid things like getting himself sent off after taking his shirt off. The sending off after scoring what looked like the 90th minute winner vs Norwich was ridiculous His hamstrings seemed to be made of tissue, but he had a bit about him and could at least finish. We’ve had much worse.

Not as many as me mate... maybe you need to have an 'off' period and take your expectations elsewhere if you can't handle the disappointment until the good times return.... im just peed off with how things have panned out this season.when you look at bottom half of division i personally dont think the clubs are that good and we should be doing better.the championship is a tough league and we shouldnt have given it up so easily We all are but it's football - there are no guarantees whatever the price of a ticket - competitive in The Championship- what's not to like?

So all we have to get excited about is that Rio Ferdinand has a signed shirt of our Tommy Smith framed in his house.
Great, see you at Chelsea Saturday for the ultimate shithouse 0-1 away win.

If we want a midfielder with premier league experience then we should be sounding Juninho out about his brother. Would be relatively cheap too given the situation reading are in Can cover lots of other positions too Here we go. Page 28 of this thread

Transfer prices inflate 50% in January, evidenced by the fact we paid £2m for a L1 striker with 6 months left on his contract. We are down irregardless, save the cash for Summer for Jan to work his magic.
