Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

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.

That's that knackered then! Unless we've got the doctor in who did Delgado's medical.

Maybe that's what Adkins meant about the loan window, when quizzed after the Millwall game. He was referring to a loan CB rather than looking for loan striking reinforcements? To be honest, if Jose is fit for tomorrow then he Aaron Martin will probably be ok with Radhi on the bench and we could spend time getting the right loan in.

Deal was clinched when Cortese said Billy could go round IKEA, choose what furniture he'd like for his new pad and he'd pick up the tab. True. LordswoodSaints son served him when he was there.

SSHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FFS, don't say anything - West Ham might be watching! Didn't they pinch Baldock from us, after he'd had a medical?

Just asked Alan Nixon on Twitter and he also said Billy was on his way! Super stuff.

Might improve the music & half time entertainment. On the hand, probably not.
