Would be all over Demerai Gray if Leicester go down. Excellent player in the making.

If its just two home games (in all comps) and a membership that gets you a cup final tickets then surely nobody will really miss out? That said, if anyone with a large number of aways doesn't get one and a part timer who has been to two home games in a season with many extra home games due to cup competitions then that really is a poor show. Two games in a season FFS!

He has already been at Barca and was pretty much a failure. Very unlikely they would have one injury and suddenly sign him for their first XI. I expect they will be able to replace Vidal from within handily enough. The family situation more likely to throw a spanner in the works but it seems like its all agreed for him to come here, just waiting for the work permit to be sorted.

Lampard was a "no8" IMO, conceptually and literally. He was a genuine central midfielder, making his goalscoring record even more remarkable.

Puel said after the game yesterday that Tadic's best position he feels is central as he was yesterday and that he would continue there. Feels he can be restricted by the touchline reducing his options on the ball. Tadic also said he likes playing there and in a 4-2-3-1 feels it is his best position and where he plays for Serbia. Tadic also said he thinks this 4-2-3-1 suits us best and gives more forward options than the 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 diamond. Well worth a listen: http://bbc.in/2lAx7d2 Claude at the start then Tadic 2nd half.

Agree. He also always wanted the ball even when he wasn't in the best form. Superb player and could go on to be one of the best in the world. He is already one of the top 5 PL attackers.

Great win, vital win and should stave off any fears of relegation now. Gabbi will rightly get plaudits and has made a big difference but we always are better side when Tadic is on form and sees lots of the ball. Slight shame we have to wait 2 weeks before playing again, hopefully we can keep the confidence high from this win because we have good players when they are playing with freedom.

Result matters more! Lose and we are right in the **** IMO.

Anyone who seriously wants Reed out has lost the plot.

Should have implemented the points system they advertised when they switched to the swipe card. Points for home and away fixtures based on popularity and points counted across a rolling 3 year period. Clear, easy and loads of other clubs do it.

A midfielder who can run for 90mins would be my no1 target. We are so one paced and easy to.counter attack because we have never replaced Schneiderlin effectively. Otherwise pretty much agree with yours. Wouldn't be shocked if Bertrand and Forster maybe feel they have done their time here, Tadic also potentially.

One is a naturally injury prone striker and the other is a non scoring striker. Seems like a good bloke does Long but when he figures as people's favourite player in a PL side its not going to be an especially good one. I find him extremely frustrating to watch because he has such little composure.

Amazed at the amount of people mentioning Austin and Long!

Ever: MLT, Lambert, Lallana Now: VVD aside nobody

Lets be honest, as at the start of this season he wasn't worth a new contract. He had 2 years to go on this current one and had endured a very disappointing season last year, failing to get into a L1 team. He has done really well this season which is great and Im sure Saints will be trying at the right time to offer him a new deal - to protect a value increasing asset if nothing else. Can hardly blame them in this case for the action they have taken. If Gallagher accept or rejects that offer when it comes is up to him.

Its a panic buy and also a must buy and will be welcomed as the best option available to us at this time. Lets hope a.) Caceres does well and b.) The club learns from their **** up.

Big summer striker wise. Decisions to be made on Jay, Austin and Long as well as Gallagher and possibly Seager too. IMO would try to ship out Long and Austin and go back to the drawing board - both have too big a flaw in their game to be a long term bet.

No. He hasnt played for a year, has been injured and possibly not doing much training. Doubt he would make a first start in a cup final. He will need a mini pre season to get anywhere near fit enough. Watford is much more realistic.

At least due to our light schedule in Feb he has a month to get fit and probably play some U23 games. Watford on March 4th his likely first appearance for the first team, if he signs.

Good time to bring him in as can have 3/4 weeks to get fit as only one league game still to come in Feb. Give him a good fitness programme and some U23 games and bring him in from March. No brainer signing even on decent money as no transfer or loan fee. Option for next year too incase he is worth keeping.

It will be in the Mirror shortly then. Either Lewis or a Crooky special as he monitors this site and the #SaintsFC hastag.

He was on trial at Palace so they must be in a decent position to sign him. We also know from Sakho that overpaying isn't as much of a factor for them as it seem to be for us. Also the work permit mustn't be seen as a challenge. He wouldnt turn down AC Milan for the PL only to find he cannot sign for anyone in England. Biggest concern with Cacares is his last game was Feb 2016 (he only played 6 or 7 times for Juve last season) and he has been a free agent for 7 months. Is it really worth the money? I guess due to our awful CB position it probably is, but would certainly take him time to get match fit. We have to look at it, but the fact the competition is Palace and Sunderland says it all. He isn't suddenly going to be a saviour but if fit would add experience and options.

Les Reed won't be firing Puel any time soon despite what some fans may want.

Looks out of his depth on the last 3 showings unfortunately.

We are in a relegation battle now.
