Hmmmm. Would have been completely pointless transfer then though wouldn't it. He would have played. And obviously, if it turned out he played only twice and never scored since signing no one would miss him now. What's your point?

I think we're saying it isn't. Loan window is a football league thing, not applicable to the Prem. It's all over, unless we've got one that we just haven't announced yet.

Correct. I don't think this team will completely click for a few more weeks. And, yep highly likely we'll be bottom on zero after four. No problem with that.

I don't expect us to finish fifth by the way. But Cortese will expect us to finish solidly - 14th or thereabouts. I just don't expect to read on here enless stuff about how we were bottom of league one etc etc. All irrelevent now. We've spent the kind of money people in the Lowe era said we needed to spend to "get to the next level"etc. Well, we've done it now. So lets not start looking for a new excuse.

He needs to be the Japanese Svennson. Fingers crossed.

....and Liverpool couldn't get that money together.....even more intriguing!

The only thing that will bring him back is a career threatening injury, or Forest deciding not to take up the option to buy. I know its hard people but Billy Sharp is gone and he isn't coming back.

Sorry chaps. Looks like we need to perform in this league now. With that kind of expenditure we cannot portray ourselves as plucky, fresh faced underdogs. We have blown most other teams out of the water this window. So we have to expect the manager and team to deliver, not just scrape safety.

Correct. The only thing that will bring him back to Saints is if Sharp has a major, season ending injury. We won't recall him. And anyway...we don't want him anymore. That's the end of it.

No. From you. Every single freaking time you post.

In fairness it was unrealistic two weeks ago, I think that was a fair gut-feel assessment. Just because we've done it doesn't make it easy. We've done very, very well.

Sibley gone home. All over.

North stand chat is worth a look. "He is scum" and other welcoming words ahoy. LOLtastic.

Absolutely.....lets hope he stays forever too...

Pleat was a bit dopey but I'd rate a Tim Vickery guff over anything you have ever said in your entire life.

No a glowing report it has to be said. Potentially a luxury player, might struggle for pace in Prem and won't put the yards in defensively. But great at set pieces. Lots of potential though. For those who don't know Tim Vickery is a South America based football journalist who is always worth listening to.

Tim Vickery on R5 talking Ramires right now.

When are we going to sign someone from that East-no-I-mean-West-no-hang-on-East-Africa hotbed of talent that Jaidi is scouring for us. Waste of time and money IMO.

I've heard mention of it before I think.

Was it love at first sight?

...

Defender (CB/LB) that none of us has ever heard of. He's just pulling in to the SMS car park now. Oh, and we won't announce it until about midday tomorrow.

The Echo said Adkins said.

You know. I've thought that all summer. This is precisely what Rupert Lowe would have done. Lowe written all over it. Fu ckin g turn it in Alpine you absolute spastic.

So you have, finally, become a parody of yourself. Jolly good.
