Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Oh poop.

Anyone remember the OS' April Fools wind up where they said we'd be switching to blue home shirts to match our nearest neighbours (or something along those lines)? Hilarious (although it did get some raging, IIRC)....

How about Marian's old song: Billy Sharp my lord Billy Sharp, oh o-oh Billy Sharp...

Doesn't matter a jot! The key date is that he's signed until 30/6/15 and, given his form, that's just fine and dandy with me.

I seem to recall some were questioning Jos' strength when he was given a lesson in Championship life by Ishmael Miller. The conditioning work Adkins often speaks of put that right and I'd imagine once Lee learns about the English game & is subjected to some of the Adkins diet, he'll be fine.

What about borrowing Marian's song: Billy Sharp, my lord, Billy Sharp, Billy Sharp, my lord, Billy Sharp, Billy Sharp, my lord, Billy Sharp, Oh, o-oh, Billy Sharp.

Traditionally, people speak about January being the time teams panic buy for ridiculous prices but looking at the rumoured prices for some of our summer striking targets, it seems transfers this year have bucked the trend a little: Billy Sharp - (rumoured to be) £2 million - summer £3.25 million (Saints bid) Nicky Maynard (rumoured) £2 million - summer £6 million (supposed Leicester bid) Marvin Sordell (rumoured) £3 million - summer £4 million (supposed Saints bid)

Surprised not to see Holmes go out on loan so far. Maybe that'll be a loan window thing?

Vaz Te will have played for Allardyce at Bolton so can see the connection there. Sure Man Yoo said they wouldn't let Morrison leave but maybe that's changed. TBH I don't mind if West Ham strengthen too because they will take points off our rivals for us. Two auto promotion spaces up for grabs & I'd be pleased with 1st or 2nd!!

Great signing. The striker I hoped for from the off. Only downside is that I'd planned to down tomorrow pressing F5 all day but now I'm not sure it's going to be necessary!

More detail required!

FootyAgentNew just tweeted QPR interested in last minute deal for Lambert. The need to buy Lambo is obviously catching.

Presumably we can loan someone up to midday tomorrow to still have them involved tomorrow night? Think it's only permanent signings which need to be done by midday the day before.

If Dean Saunders is already speaking like Sharp's gone, he must have a reasonable idea that we've agreed terms surely?

Jeremy Wilson of Telegraph now saying that deal could be confirmed tonight & Sharp is expected at Southampton in the next hour. Confused.com. Does he mean SMS?

Sky Sports have now tweeted that they believe Sharp has passed his medical. Hopefully nearing completion?

Tweet from Gordon Simpson saying it would now have to be something pretty major to stop this deal happening. No, Nicola don't mention the wage cap...!

This is the first time I've ever been desperate to see a tweet from Jordan Sibley...

An Ipswich fan I know told me the reason he didn't want to stay on with them was because he wanted to stay in the Midlands. He was shocked he wanted to come down to us at all. Going to Leicester makes more sense for him + he might get extra wedge.

I apologise profusely.

That's the news they wanted to hear! Hopefully it means this will go smoothly... [i realise saying that may have f**ked it all up now and take full responsibility for my comment]

After all this time, I knew there had to be a reason Rupert wanted that picture so badly. There must been a knock on for future transfer dealings. Genius. Cortese out; Lowe in.

Absolutely, although I'll temper your excitement with the words "Phillips" and "Beattie", which was meant to be our last league destroying striking partnership... Nonetheless would be over the proverbial moon with this, as Sharp is the striker I wanted from the off.

Can you tell him to go and find out how it's going????

Think that's emergency loans not permanent signings.
