Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Top idea! I like the idea of picking players based on the proximity to their birthday. It would make the manager's job much easier although could you imagine: "Sorry Artur, Tommy's in goal today cos it's nearly his birthday"...

I guess we will still be able to sign free agents such as Riquelme, for instance, even though the window has closed like we did with Boruc, if we need to? No sense rushing for those if we're based in Manchester ready for Wigan.

Terrible decision this. No way is shouting Steeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvee going to sound good with Peter Kay's accent. Mo's first big mistake.

Not for the Prem...

We'll only know if this is the right decision come May (obviously!). Would've liked us to have strengthened but if Poch thinks he can get the current group to improve and perform I think we have to trust his judgment. Mayuka came very highly rated and if he could get the best out of him, that would be a major boost.

Mayuka may offset that a bit, maybe?

U21s are going to struggle now. Shame.

I'm guessing that it's looking more and more like Mauricio's decision is that we're not going to bring anyone in who's able to improve the squad? The feedback from journos like Simon Peach and Alex Crook hinted strongly that there were likely to be no new arrivals. Would be good if the club confirmed that we're all done and dusted with Forren the only arrival but I guess there's always the hope of a last minute opportunity all the while they don't!

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach All quiet at #SaintsFC. Noises out of the club is that there will be no incoming players. A few could head out @PA_dugout Darn.

Play like we did 2nd half at Old Trafford and this is very winnable.

Boys did us proud. No shame in a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford and the fact we had them under such pressure 2nd half was amazing. Keep this up Mo Po and you may turn out to be a bigger legend than your predecessor.

Rooney, Van Persie and Welbeck up front for united. Not sure who I want Jos to kick first. Tough decision.

Would be like a new signing. Maybe he could come to Saints every Jan 30th?

It'll be interesting to see whether that mo fo Mo Po gives us any clues in his post match comments about whether there will be any new faces arriving or familiar ones departing.

Same fella as MLT has mentioned by any chance? Or just wishful thinking?

You need to introduce some form of priority pm system. I'll go first just to test it out...

Spanish passport solves our usual work permit dilemma, I guess...

Can't say I've heard of him prior to Googling. Be careful Googling his club side: Colon. Not pretty.

A guess or know you something?

2 from Gazza, Jos & Boruc in a tremendously humourous way cos they're so tall.

Jos: and you're sure praying to the east will stop me scoring own goals...?

Our previous manager has a Liverpudlian accent too, which really helped the illusion too. Was this not thought about before he was asked to leave??

Week after week, 30,000 people sung their manager's name to show what a good job he was doing & that he should keep his job & that didn't work. So I doubt a campaign about our kit would be listened to!!

To the old Rasiak song: Na na na na na na, Morgan Schneiderlin, Schneiderlin, he's here to pay less tax... I'll get me coat....

What about singing his name to Brown Girl in the Ring. Morgan Schneiderlin tra la la la la... and repeat...
