This.

Makes sense. It's clear we've been interested in replacing Fox as starting LB. Good player and scored an absolute screamer last night.

Can't believe this has even turned into a debate. Lambert is going nowhere - its absolute bullsh*t being spouted by a couple of small time journos. Nothing to see here.

This must be paving the way for some departures. Lambert Rodrigues Guly Sharp Lee Mayuka Ramirez? Puncheon That's a lot

Another forward? Really?

Link isn't working.....close thread.

Whooosh. I was joking.

De Ridder to Yeovil on a month's loan IMO.

Goals coming up on SSN. Roundup of all the goals on now.

He had a good game against City, we all know he's capable of a good game. Consistency is his problem, he goes missing regularly. Time will tell but I think he'll be on the bench a lot once we get these signings sorted.

This.

Very poor. Lots of new faces around us in the Northam and not much effort being made. Lots of 'premier league fans'. I think expectation has got too high, people turning up yesterday expecting an easy win. I'm sure it'll improve for the bigger games but it's p*ss poor if we carry on like that. Wigan only got going after they scored.

Not an enjoyable return to the premiership. Loads of empty seats, hopelessly quiet in the Northam, so much for getting behind the lads. It's what I knew would happen though, too much expectation and people turning up demanding a win. Was going to be a shocker from the off, a grown man in replica shirt trying to wrestle a giant flag through the turnstiles. Poor display too. Although we never really looked like conceding until we did, we didn't have much of a threat going forward. Careless in possession, slowing the ball down too much, sh*tloads of hoofball which was doing my head in. Officials were useless but can't be blamed for the defeat.

A fine improvement on saint1971's Uruguay/Saints story.

Stop clogging up the thread with irrelevant posts you fannies!! Has the player in question even been mentioned on this page? Gaston Ramirez CDAJFU IMO FFS.

He's got time on his side. They'll get more nervous the longer it goes without a second bid coming in from elsewhere, which I don't think will happen given how complicated a deal it is, and is well documented to be. We'll sign him IMO, just not as quickly as everyone would like.

My guess - throwing everyone into a frenzy on here with "It's a done deal" claims from clearly ill advised 'sources'.

I sort of meant it in a different way. These are the crazy prices being thrown around on big name players. £12m for Ramirez looks a much better deal than all of the above.

I think it's fair to say he's considerably better than: Steven Fletcher (£12m), (reportedly) Jordan Henderson (£20m), Stuart Downing (sh*tloads) James Milner (sh*tloads) Ashley Young (probably)(sh*tloads) Plus with age on his side, and hopefully without the ego, I really like the sound of Ramirez. £12m is huge for us, but you won't get many better players for that sort of money.

Rasiak at Derby. Goals vs skates. Recently: Lambert vs Millwall away. De Ridder at Reading. Fonte vs Cov. Knew we were there.

A good point, very well made. I'll apologise if I'm wrong, but it's not even vaguely believable b*llocks IMO.

Give it a rest. Earlier your 'source' was someone loitering at a hotel, now you've got an agent's flight details?

Guessing IMO. "Mate's dad's ex missus' hairdresser's bit on the side heard...."

My best mate is a skate. An absolute cvnt when it comes to Saints/Pompey discussion, but he's a top bloke.
