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.
