Southampton not selling their full allocation?

We 100% do. Just with less paedophilia.

I did not expect to see an eight... @Yorkie, feed us some of your optimism please.

Despite Bruno's red card making the lack of a CM addition look even sillier, I'm still going to give them the benefit of the doubt with a 6 instead of a 5. Kuol is raw but has a load of upside for £300k, Gordon is our second-most expensive signing ever and looks made for Howe, while Ashby is hopefully a perfect example of the sort of succession planning that has Brighton getting better and better. I did not expect to see the back of Wood so soon and had resigned myself to another 18 months of Shelvey, so that's another positive for me, although it's impossible to argue that it hasn't left us looking very light in midfield. Getting Dúbravka back in place of Darlow was another win that I haven't seen mentioned too much, as well. Still, January's not a great window to work in, we appear to have big plans for summer, and as SteV pointed out the other day there are now only 19 games left to play and only a handful of midweek games. It was still a small step forward overall, just not a massive stride like we saw last year or in the summer. Finally, I was harsher with my scores for the last two windows than I probably should have been, so Howe and Co. will undoubtedly make me look silly again.

Summer 2022 got a collective 8/10 on here in 54's thread from September. But how does January 2023 stack up for you? -- IN Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners for £0.3M Anthony Gordon from Everton for £40M + £5M in add-ons Harrison Ashby from West Ham for £1M + £2M in add-ons OUT Dan Langley to Spennymoor Town on loan Joe White to Exeter City on loan Garang Kuol to Hearts on loan Chris Wood to Nottingham Forest on loan Dylan Stephenson to Hamilton Academical on loan Niall Brookwell to Darlington on loan Jonjo Shelvey to Nottingham Forest for a nominal fee Karl Darlow to Hull City on loan Jay Turner-Cooke to Tranmere Rovers on loan *Fees just based on media reports due to everything being "undisclosed"

I thought you lot were supposed to have extras?

He was excellent at the outset then seemed to switch off at 2-0. It's all mentality with Willock, as he matures and if he keeps his burst of speed, he should only get better.

THAT'S HOMOPHOBIC

There was possibly the fastest rendition I've ever heard of the Blaydon Races midway through the first half.

"Burny can pay (for the suits), though. He gets more money than me."

Not a soul.

Had a good nap with Tommy the cat this afternoon, apparently. Love Tommy, me.

Harsh on Nick Pope.

Professional outfit, Chelsea.

Thought he was spot-on today, his pressing/positioning was pretty much the main positive from the triple sub.

Aye, I'd say Newcastle as well.

Had there had there had there. Everton haven't signed anyone?

JWP was wank, like, Bruno had him on toast.

Millers at Kings Cross will be full of our lot, won't it?

Thought Jones' selection and starting tactics were fucking awful (5-3-2 is the worst formation going), but he reacted really well with his changes and almost pulled them back into it. I'd be surprised if they went down, because despite looking like your nextdoor neighbour he seems properly switched on and the players are clearly buying into his methods. His style is mad, though, proper balls to the wall given their circumstances.

Came up big yet again when required. I think I love him.

Imagine if that volley had gone in. Dear me.
