I remember reading some advice from someone (maybe on here) who said when faced with the problem of children being tempted by either teams to tell them this: when you pay rent you can choose the team you support. Until then you support the team I choose for you!
My 5 year old son is a Saint & well and truly hooked after attending 10 or so games. Grandad, from Cornwall, has had a go at getting him to support his local team (Arsenal) but failed miserably (thankfully). My 3 year daughter is also showing an interest in Saints although all she says is that she supports Rickie Lambert.
Give him a contract til January to see if he can prove himself. If not, or if he proves disruptive, send him on his way. If he can recapture former glories, then we'd have ourselves a bargain.
Disappointing but hopefully we'll have made the bid early enough in the day to be focussing on a new target by now. Didn't someone say we'd bid for Ebanks-Blake?
Cov poised to sign Cody McDonald from Norwich according to Sky. As a side with no money at all, they must be expecting a few quid to be coming in soon...

Looks like Middlesborough are making a move for Jutkiewicz. Our interest here is noted too; would like to see us make a move for him, especially as he's started the season well.
Maybe we'll look to sort out a deal while we're up in Leicester this weekend? Must have something about him to be selected for the U21s this time round.
Maybe the talks or medical didn't go according to plan at Upton Park? Or maybe he preferred the chance to move to the South Coast instead? Would be good if so!
