Given it seems dead quiet with nothing in the way of incomings, assuming a budget of £10m and three players, who would you like to see us sign this month?

For me;
Would have been Patterson from Sunderland before we brought Peretz in, but maybe one for summer if not now.

Boly I think might be a low risk option, would be next to nothing, bring leadership, no nonsense defending, but the risk is his legs have gone.

Think we should be all over Josh Sargent. Don't know how he's still at Norwich. But that'd likely be a pricey choice.

I'd also not say no to selling to desperate PL clubs (have we taken enough off West Ham?) for Harwood-Bellis or Archer.

I’m not sure whether it’s new players we need or new mindsets we need. I would definitely welcome some no-nonsense straight talking leadership in our ranks, but there will be limited choice if £10M is all we can scrape together.

Charles coming back will hopefully be a big plus. I’m fed up with Downes who is a shadow of his former self - never on the front foot and always at risk of yellow/red card because he’s slow to respond to what’s going on around him.

I used to be a big critic of Manning but he has been playing with some fire in his belly. Trouble
Is he’s limited technically meaning he doesn’t create enough down the left flank.

Oh and get rid of Stephens - maybe to Eastleigh!

13 Jan 2026 17:33:38
Downes, THB, Stephens need to go for me as a priority. We just seem to have so, so many players who are never near the team. Edozie, Fraser, Stewart, Aribo, and how much are Romeu’s wages.

I imagine they aren’t going to splurge anything at all unless we can sell but those names listed give the club next to nothing on the pitch. It’s all such a mess which is all the more frustrating given a top two spot would be there for the taking if we were a competently run club.

I’ve heard nothing on any incoming players. I’ve been told the hierarchy are concentrating on moving out high earners but no names mentioned.
I still think we need a centre forward, Wilson would be perfect! He and Stewart game managing would be really good. Until we change to 442, Archer and Armstrong will never get the support they need.
How about, McCarthy Elart THB Wood Manning Charles Jander Azaz Scienza AA Wilson to start with Roeslov Downes Bragg Fellows Stewart Archer On the bench. Charles can play centre back

Troy Parrott—Irelands striker (AZ ALKMAAR-ex TOTTENHAM) looks the business. Any Chance. K O M.

14 Jan 2026 03:35:08
Just confirmed profile of TROY PARROTT (AZ ALKMAAR) ex (TOTTENHAM) and IRELAND INT. must surely be on top of SAINTS STRIKER LIST,! K O M.

He’s great when playing off the shoulder!

Yes, that was awful!

Happy New Year St John!

15 Jan 2026 03:16:32
Hey Millertime, many thanks for your annual salutations and the very same to you! .ps.Maybe off the shoulder of a fit ROSS STEWART.

15 Jan 2026 04:07:02
Whilst I guess the team personnel will likely change by end of January (hopefully for the better) a suggested 442 with who’s available at the moment : PERETZ ROERSLEV CHARLES (CAPT.) WOOD WELINGTON.SCIENZA JANDER BRAGG FELLOWS AZAZ/or ARCHER. STEWART.Should TODDY struggle for max points in remainder of January maybe if successful as interim at MAN UTD. a re emergence of MICHAEL CARRICK interest.nb IF RONNIE EDWARDS was not GIVENAWAY recently he would have featured in my suggested line up alongside centre half SHEA CHARLES.

Daniel Peretz is in.

For me this further instills that Will was on the right track. I doubt that this signing came straight from Tonda. To identify a goalkeeper target that quickly is unlikely.

Still was one of the only managers to identify early that Bazuna wasn't up to scratch. He put his faith in the only option he had McCarthy I and I'm sure he knew too wasn't any better. So I think when January came this signing was being lined up for him.

I reckon he would have identified one or two decent defenders too and I think we would have given it a decent go from here on, but now we will never know.

Now we have to hope that Tonda is the man everyone thought he was and that we haven't given the reins of our club to some novice.

Miller was calling Still a novice but in reality there are novices and then there are .novices. Tonda seems the latter.

Did you see the keeper in the 5-0 loss to Norway? Didn’t command his area or organise defence.

Have you seen the points Will managed in his games versus Tonda?

11 Jan 2026 22:29:07
I've heard that Bazunu is off to Stoke City on loan for the rest of the season with an £8 million purchase after.
