Saints need strikers to fuel survival bid
The upcoming transfer window will be the most important for Southampton since their return to the Premier League. They have been a selling club in recent seasons, but now new manager ralph hasenhuttl must spend wisely to get them out of trouble. he should also give Charlie Austin a run in the side. They are in real need of more firepower. Only Manchester City and Chelsea have had more shots than Southampton yet they have scored just 13 goals. Their rivals are rallying, too. Cardiff — who beat them on Saturday — are starting to pick up points, Burnley got a vital win over Brighton and huddersfield are improving. Southampton players I speak to say they have been impressed by hasenhuttl since he has arrived but he will be judged on whether the players he brings in can inspire a turnaround.
