⚽ ⬇ Would you consider taking any players from the relegation fodder?

Anyone but us to go down - don’t really care.

Andre Schurrle from Fulham? Might be worth a punt if a Germanic manager can get something out of him?

Cardiff can go down for all i care. I like Cairney and Schurrle from Fulham as well as Seri (pre Fulham days though) and Mitrovic. Mooy, Pritchard and Billing from 'Uddersfield are OK but we’ve got those positions covered, so only back up there.

Realistically, only Schurrle and Mitrovic would add to our squad depth.

I never liked Mitrovic anyway he’s shit.

‘‘Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande also want Mitrovic and are willing to meet Fulham’s £50m asking price and pay the forward £300,000-a-week. (Sunday Express)’’

They are a massive team in Asia. Can totally afford that one and then some. If my memory serves correct, Sven may have managed them at one point or could have been Lippi. Could be wrong on that one though

Well, like us :burnleyfc: seem to have gotten themselves out of the dog fight that is a relegation run in.

So, it’s now down to :brightonfc: and :cardiffcityfc:

I was looking at the fixtures and Fark me…pick a winner out of those two!!

Massive, massive game during the week. Like dogs balls this one. Like ours vs Swansea but earlier in the run in.

If I was Houghton, park the bus son, you’ve three points more that the opposition and neither of you look like you are going to pick up a point for the rest of the season! (except maybe :cardiffcityfc:, who will probably beat :liverpoolfc: to fuck their season. Please, please, please! :lou_lol:)

Interesting @OzSaintDave, thought I’d look at their upcoming fixtures and try and predict the results :-

Date Fixture Predicted Result
16th April Cardiff v Brighton Cardiff W
20th April Wolves v Brighton L
21st April Liverpool v Cardiff L (unfortunately)
23rd April Tottenham v Brighton L
27th April Fulham v Cardiff W
27th April Birghton v Newcastle D
Star Wars Day Arsenal v Brighton D
Star Wars Day Cardiff v Crystal Palace D
12th May Brighton v Man City L
12th May Manchester Utd v Cardiff L

So Cardiff pick up 7pts, Brighton pick up 2pt, which leaves them level on 35pts, GD to be the decider

Gold :star2: for effort. Reckon that you are spot on the money there. That would make it a v interesting last day

Looking at that I reckon Brighton are fucked.

Am I the only one that thinks you lot have just jinxed us and sealed our relegation?

No sir, as much as we could manifest that reality, I am going to manifest a reality where one of these two (cough, Brighton) are religated

You should leave your reality behind when entering Sotonians.

This is a place where walking the dog, staying away from matches and posting pictures of nuns on a match day thread are all firmly believed to be scientific ways of influencing results.

Assuming our safety is a cast iron way to get us relegated. I thought everyone knew that fact

I like rolling the dice, pushing the envelope, a certain living of life close to the edge. Facts do matter but until the status quo is challenged, it will never change

Back on topic, did anyone mention Ryan Sessegnon above?

His star was burning brightly when they got promoted. Seems to have faded a little. Worth a punt with pace and trickery.

Can you keep the Status Quo argument to the Glasto thread please …

Facts have no place on here.

FACT!

Talked about him with @Fowllyd at the Liverpool game. Fits Ralph’s style and a perfect age. Also entering the last year of his contract. Lots of clubs will be after him, but we offer the opportunity to play regularly in a team that wants to attack. Only downside, we don’t need another leftie(unless Redmond move to the right/centre regularly.

While few, if any Fulham players have covered themselves in anything approaching glory during their disastrous return to the Premier League, Ryan Sessegnon is one of several who are unlikely to be with the club when they return begin their Championship campaign next season. Assorted tabloids are reporting the left-sided 18-year-old is likely to be in big demand this summer, with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham all believed to be interested in luring him away from Craven Cottage. It is the club from the new White Hart Lane who are believed to have the whip-hand and with just one year left on his contract, Sessegnon would almost certainly be available for considerably less than the £50m he was valued at a year ago.

Watching Brighton last night, nobody I’d take but they would certainly see Hoedt & Carrillo as massive improvements on what they’ve got…

Actually Puel Pellegrino or Hughes would improve them

No no players from relegation fodder
