Really couldn't disagree more about Austin. The last thing we need is to add a player who doesn't fit Pochettino's plans just becauseA bit disappointed that we didn't get either Dembele or Maddison in - though with the insistence from Fulham on loaning Dembele back I can see why we didn't as the whole point would be to get someone in now.
I know seemingly huge amounts of people here will disagree with me but personally I would've really liked to see us snap up Charlie Austin. "He's too slow", "he's a twat", "he's not a Poch player" I know people will shout as they always do, but frankly for £4m I think Southampton have simply bought a guarantee of goals, which is a pretty precious commodity in the PL. Obviously Poch wasn't interested though and that's fair enough. I really hope we make the most of this opportunity this season though as I'm not convinced it'll come again.
