and teh critics are still wrong. He was good earlier in the season and my man of the match on a number of occasions.

we're talking about Lee Holmes not Jonny. Skacel has a better engine.

Thomson looked miles out of his depth whenever he played for Saints and did next to nothing at Bournemouth from what I hear. Holmes is ****. That midfield won't get us out of League 1, not a chance. Also Saga and McGoldrick offer neither pace nor strength up front. Patterson and BWP might offer both but then again will they score goals? Tough one.

because there are loads of people on here that despite going to watch games, quite clearly know **** all about the game. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but you only have to look at the slating of Davis, Davies, Oakley, Fuller, Jones in recent times who all came good (some quicker than others) to know that some Saints fans are clueless IMO. Christ there were fans during the summer saying Safri was ****e. Jeez, what we wouldn't have done to have Safri all season, or Fuller...

he had a poor end to the season, he lost some confidence in that midweek game (not sure which might hav been Sheff United) and never really recovered. However, he wasn't poor all season and stepped up to the plate to play in centre midfield (when we were down to the bare bones) and forged a half decent partnership with Jack Cork. He certainly hasn't been helped by the ugly long ball tactics deployed by Wotte that has seen all `footballers' (Lallana, Surman, McGoldrick and Schneiderlin) struggle as they simply never see the ball. He is still young and in my eyes is still improving. Some of you will never be convinced but don't come crying to me when you see Wotton hoofing it anywhere next season and we don't create anything. You need ball players in the side like Surman and he will be missed for sure. Don't think for a minute we will sign anyone better than him. Lee Holmes to replace him I hear you say. **** off, he is ****e.

all I can thnk of is Leeds losing to Histon live on ITV. The Bristol Rovers defeat was embaressing enough but there is now the potential for even worse.

I'd of thought £2M was a fair price for a former England U21 international that has a decent left foot, scores goals, has a decent engine, a great first touch and will only improve with age.

we will be paying Rasiak once his loan runs out and mark my words he won't be sold as soon as the window opens. We face up to 16 weeks of his wages before he leaves for nothing. That is where the money goes. No need for any `investigations for missing millions'.

exactly how I feel. No loss at all.

are fans still boycotting MK games in favour of a trip to Wimbledon?

Rasiak will be a free transfer...if we are lucky any move will happen towards the start of the transfer window and not at the very end.

Grayson dropped down a league to manage Leeds. Size and real ambition of a club counts for a lot.

Plan A - sell SLH and all its parts as one lot Plan B - liquidate the assets, selling individual parts to separate buyers

Lallana is top quality IMO, but certainly not worth £5m...one day maybe if he learns to finish.

as crap as they have been, don't forget that there are worse players out there so we need to keep a few in case our wonderful scouting system continues to uncover more gems like Holmes, Pulis and Gasmi.

and if your company went into adminstration would the customers be expected to make charitable donatations to pay your wages? The players are in a privaledged position and no matter how big the house is at £10k a week, they CAN afford to miss a few weeks pay to ensure the cash cows continues to live.

is this just a rumour or fact? The response above from Surman suggests that no players had forgone their wages. I've said it before and I will say it again there is no chance of me donating any money to pay the likes of Rudi Skacel.

several members of the crowd invasion jumped into the Burnley section and they weren't looking to shake hands or swap scarves. The police quite rightly were protecting the Burley fans so stop moaning about their tactics.

yeah that 20 year in his first full season needs to be hung drawn and quartered for playing so poorly after a serous ankle injury...jeez

likewise. I thought he was excelletn at fullback. Still the best defensive headerer of a ball I have ever seen.

great news, perhaps Watford will take him off our hands sooner rather than later as his wages are going to cripple us all summer.

he has had two poor games since he joined and been 9 out of 10 in all the others IMO. I wouod go as far as saying that signing him up next season is more important than signing any other player.

is that why you are currently booing Hayden Mullins? I suppose you have got quite close the relegation battle (doom) and those famed great supporters of yours have slated a hard working skate and therefore effectively " stood up and been counted".

It all depends on how much money is available as to whether we can afford to keep Kelvin. The wage bill is going to have to come down massively and his 10k a week is a lot to find - far too much. Also we have far too many keepers on the books (Davis, forecast, Bart, Poke, and Pernecký) so someone has to go. Out of contract players are the easiest to offload, so unless we get a buyer for one of two of the others then Kelvin won't be offered a new deal. We are stuck with Perry as he played enough games to get another year. I'm far from convinced that that is good news but I know I might be in the minority there. I dread to think what his wages are. I bet they are a lot higher than people think. Hay ho. Saeijs is a must if we are to do anything, or we must find someone to replicate his strength, arial prowess and pace. That aint gonna be easy so he would be my choice if there is any funds available to pay a decent wage (assuming he demands one). We are stuck with Thomas. Going down a division will suit him as he is a poor CCC player IMO. Lancashire needs to toughen up otherwise he'll be bullied as badly in League 1 as he was in the CCC. Going down will do him a favour though as he was clearly not up to the task. Skacel has another year on his contract but perhaps even he will settle for less wages if it means he gets a new three year deal. Lets hope so. That will save us another 10k a week. As much as I think he has genuine quality that we desperately need, I won't miss his pathetic diving, poor body language, blaming everyone but himself and just do enough no more attitude. The question is will Mills sign for us or for Scunny? I think we made a major mistake in not playing him the whole season. Also given time will Molyneux prove me/us wrong. He looks a terrible signing so far but time is on his side. James needs to improve his heading and positional play. He's never going to be quick so we desperately need a quick centre back to help him and the rest of the back four. Thomas to provide cover perhaps? I've always seen James as a CM but with no other right backs I'm gonna have to get used to see him waddle no where near a byeline. Gillett is here to stay and thats good news. I contiually said we needed his `hussle'. He lacks quality, his first touch is poor and passing no better but we need bite with legs and Wotton only offers bite. Wotton desperately needs the drop down in league, but he will still be a very average player that is slow and can't pass. I don't see him ever getting us promoted. Gobern is the dark horse here. Out wide he looked lost and unsure, in the middle he looked like Carlton Palmer, and Carlton Palmer in League 1 is ****ing good! I'd get him in the side early doors if Gillett is not fit. Surman will leave. He's too good for League 1 no matter what the chumps say on here and his agent surely will step in and force the change. Lallana still needs games and his poor form might help keep him here. I have to say that I think he is top class and I suspect other managers will see that potential and make an offer we can't refuse. I'd build a side round him myself. I think he would be far better than McGoldrick in the hole. Lallana offers skills and heart - what more do you want. OK so he has not done it but it was his first full season and he will get better and better. Promise him the earth and make him stay. Commons gve Forest two years lets get the same from Adam. Where will Pulis play once recovers from the latest injury - any one out there know what he looks like, plays like etc? Dyer will leave for peanuts and we will all have to cross our fingers that he turns out to be a courtney pitt rather than a Rodney Wallace. Smith is painfully weak and I never wanted him here but who knows maybe they don't tackle in league 1! He can take Holmes with him for me. I am not a fan but he will obviously be here next year in nice white boots and socks that never get dirty ever. Still we need balance and his left foot is not bad I suppose (through gritted teeth). IMO Thomson is not good enough (yet) and won't be good enough next season either. McGlaggon has something about him, though I'm not sure if he is a winger or a striker. BWP, Euell and Stern won't get new deals and will leave on frees. That leaves us with McGoldrick - who I don't think clubs will be biting our hands off for if I'm honest, and Patterson - who I think will be a revelation for Saints. Saga looks like he will do anything to get out of here which will save us yet more big bucks. I've never been a fan but I will sure miss those scoring streaks, if I can remember them. Of course Rasiak might be back to bleed us dry. In fact we know he will be back for the entire summer before a CCC side takes him off our hands for nothing just as the window closes saing them a small fortune in wages. To progress as a club we need to sell him the day the window opens not the day it closes. £15k a week for 16 weeks will kill us and our chances. Forecast James Perry Saeijs Mills Lallana Gobern Gillet Holmes Patterson McClaggan On another day I'll tell you who we should look to sign but as I started of saying this will depend on monies available and if we can offload the likes of Rasiak/Saga/Skacel early.

whatever the price I'd like to see cup games included.
