6th is there for the taking I feel. That final game of the season against Arsenal will be the decider I feel.

Stop it Dave.
Lookman is a kid, who's been bought for his potential.
He hasn't put a foot wrong so far, considering he's a kid who's moved cities and is still settling in.

Maybe if you went to the match regular your view would be different, as I can't remember enjoying home games as much as this season for years. There's a buzz about the place again that hasn't been there for years.
We had Lukaku last season btw and we were abolsutely gash.
You're wummery is becoming a bit too obvious there Dave.
You need to tone it down a bit, you'll get more bites that way

The best managers don't have a specific system. They work with the players that they have available/are able to recruit. Koeman had Pelle at Feyenoord and bought him to Saints as a known quantity which was undervalued. He was a very successful signing. Absolutely no reason to believe that he will try to sign the same sort of striker unless you are driving an agenda, the lad from Sociedad that we are linked with looks far from being a target man (scored a lovely goal against Barca tonight BTW)

We'll see. It's hard to tell on this evidence. The point I was making was that the combined total of £37m is the type of cash (minimum) that'll have to be spent out in the summer to secure a good replacement for Lukaku. His judgement spending big money is frightening for me. He bought Bolasie and could easily have spent more money than that on Sissoko.

Yep, and the season before and also gash. We won the league in 87/88 after losing lineker. No reason we can't get better after losing Lukaku. He's a good goal scorer but is not perfect and is replaceable. If we buy 3 good players with the money I actually think we'll be a better team.

We've already scored more goals at home than in that season and we've only lost 1 game, so no not really.

Lookman played a few games for Charlton and the next thing is we've signed him for 10mil and he's moving to an area of the country that he's probably only ever been to on a day trip, if at all.
You expect him to not only settle in, but to be straight into the first team and bang on form from the word go
He hasn't done a thing wrong since he's been here and from what I've seen he's a great prospect.
As for Sissoko, Spurs who are currently second in the table, saw the same things in him too .

Ok mate, have it your way if it makes you feel better. But the thread is about whether this is the high point of this season and whether it can be maintained or whether it slips back to 7th.

Which is why you were chatting bubbles about hoofball at Feyenoord eh....
Whether we finish 5th or 7th, we've made massive progress this season
Are you still joining in with his daily guff feed?
