Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

FL_rumours on Twitter suggesting we're after Carlton Cole. Lol.

Great.

Nothing about Danny Collins then? Thought that was all done bar the shouting according to that journo? Wonder who the players we missed out on are? Usual suspects like Sharp or Hooper or other more obscure targets? Good that Jose is back for Tuesday.

Wonder if Barney's return from injury means we'll abandon our striker search? Maybe we were waiting to assess his fitness before confirming any deal for Sharp?

Full on back up then. Good stuff.

As a left sided CB, might suggest Jos' injury is worse than first thought? Guess it would depend on the length of the loan.

In on loan from Stoke according to Alan Nixon the Mirror journo. Centre half or LEFT BACK!

Does this mean Billy Sharp will be in the crowd again tomorrow?

Jonathan Forte has apparently gone out to Notts Co. on loan for the rest of the season. Clearing some space? Edit - confirmed: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2590766,00.html

If anyone from here is going then you need to get NC w*nkered & ask the questions we need answers on: 1) what he really thinks of Puncheon 2) who we're planning to buy before next Tuesday (Sharp, a CB etc) 3) how much we actually bid for Hooper 4) whether Lee is here for his football or to improve marketing in Asia 5) Lee's missus, would he? 6) has he ever had a poo at SMS Probably covered it all unless anyone else has any thoughts?

Never had a dump at SMS but my 5 year old has. Even at 5, he's achieving more than I ever have and I am living the dream through him.

Been given squad no. 42 according to Jordan Sibley on Twitter, which he wore successfully at Blackpool and not so successfully at QPR. Hope it allows him to show his Blackpool form at SMS!

Yup.

On the Donny forum, VSC, they seem convinced the Mirror knows what's what at the Keepmoat. I reckon his info is all from the Donny side.

Could be true. If we bid Tuesday or before & that was the only bid since Leicester, they've received no NEW bids...

Still not seen a better chant than "Lee will, Lee will rock you!" from whoever came up with that.

So it's traditional Twitter information then. Next thing you'll tell me Forte's not going to Brighton for £1m...

A 'football reporter' on Twitter, called Darryl Pennant, tweeted that we've activated the release clause in Sharp's contract & we're in talks with him although personal terms are again the issue. Summer deja vu?

Just had a thought. Does Tony Finnigan represent anyone else we might be trying to sign? Sordell, Sharp, a CB etc? A kind of: you sort out the Puncheon situation and my client will sort out his move to you thing. Nah! Second thoughts - way too conspiratorial...

Good. We wanted a winger, we have a very talented one on our books not being used, we will now be using that winger and he's available immediately. Best way to make amends Punch is to fire us to the Prem (probably the quickest way for you to get back there too).

Would be a good signing but why would Cardiff sell to us now?

Would be a real boost if this did happen after Monday. Was definitely on odd thing for NA to offer so fingers crossed!

I guess we never found out whether Sharp really was in the stands on Monday? And it's all gone quiet on the news front for this too. Just the way we like to do our business! Just need a tweet from Jordan Sibley about it going to be a long day today & it'd be all systems go!

According to a Beeb journo, Cortese was in s meeting this afternoon with Puncheon & a PFA rep, regarding his Twitter comments. Maybe too busy then to progress the Sharp deal & it might all pick up again tomorrow?
