I think Edozie offers something decent already on the left (he didn't last night when he came on, but he was decent at Fulham). We badly need a right winger. I thought I saw clips of him playing on the right side in the youtube videos.

I've been suggesting Jackson for some time, so I am glad we are linked, but the idea that we spent £27m on him is frankly ludicrous. He is young and has potential (yeah, I know), but no way is he worth that outlay.

Does Orsic usually play as an out an out winger/attacker or more or a genuine left/right midfielder?

1-0 down, not working, ABK gets injured. Perfect opportunity to move to a flat back four, but no. Sticks with it. I really want to give NJ a fair crack of the whip, but he's making it impossible.

I'm so annoyed I could continue arguing with you or anyone all night, but agreeing to disagree makes the most sense. Did ABK do his cruciate? Looked a nasty slip.

The Saints fans have given up. Not much to shout about mind.

He had a very decent game. Maybe 7 or 8 out of ten. Shame everything else was turd.

Yes. But it wasn't just once, almost every pass short or long was fucking crap. Lyanco error cost us, but DCC was even worse.

Cheers. I was fuming for a while after. No less so now, but for different reasons. I've tried to stay positive, but I'm resigned to relegation. Five at the back is shit.

Perhaps predictably, there wasn't much of that in the chapel end, except at half and fulltime. Not much in the way of any noise at all though. Felt somewhat out of place even shouting 'come on saints' when we won a corner. It was one fucking nil for Christ sake. Were utter shit, but at least shout. I won't be going in that end again. Only went there as forest supporting brother in law was with me. First away win in prem since 1999.

He was horrendous with the ball tonight. As bad as you can be.

Just back from game. How bad was Che's miss? I was at t'other end. Looked like he should have buried it with ease. As bad as a keeper howler when strikers fail to take chances. I hate five at the back. Hate it more with a holding midfielder. Lavia was poor too. Hate all these changes too. I know we didn't win at Forest, but why not start Edozie and stick with four at the back? Lyanco and Carleta-Car were like a pair of clowns, underhitting square passes all night. We played two at the back for the last fifteen minutes. Amazing. Might have worked if we had anything at all in the final third. Only highlight was Stuart Armstrong assault to stop the late Forest attack.

Christmas port not completely run out yet? Win, at Goodison. Imagine that happening, this season, of all seasons.

Talksport know the square route of fuck all about how our transfer negotiations are going. Not convinced Moffi is the answer by the way.

Was Perraud dropped due to injury or (as I got the impression) because NJ was not happy with is display against Brighton?

wish we'd offered an insultingly pitiful amount to Monaco for Carrillo.

If they offered £2m, then the first thing the seller would have done was say he wanted £4m. Also, that sounds like the story about Risdale offering Seth Johnson £30k a week when he was only looking for £13k a week...and then paying £37k a week in the end.

The compensation to Luton was £2.5m according to many sources, rather than £4-5m. We don't know how much we paid off Ralph. His salary was guessed at £6m, and with 18 months left we would thus be legally required (potentially) to pay him £9m. There would be no choice - unless you mean the choice was to keep him or not? Also, his contract (and potential pay off if sacked) was agreed prior to SR coming in.

One of the most infuriating football management phrases ever. Maybe it's just used to cover up that they are currently `unfit'.

Urggghh, does anyone here speak English? Excellent post Ron. Some light relief from the onslaught of Peter Risdale School of Business graduates was much needed.

Where has this theory come from that SR being tight has cost us a transfer?

I think Leeds United chief scout just spends his day on here or reading the Daily Echo website.

When Wolves offer of €5.5m for Lamina was rejected yesterday I was thinking the same thing.

if Leeds aren't linked with him in the next day or two I will be very much surprised.

check out that goal (2:43) in the Spurs game. Looks like he has a lovely right foot too.
