Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Eh? Have I missed something?

Yep, biggest disappointment was Delgado, especially the way the club built him up. Niemi for unexpected great signing? Remember thinking Jonah's fine, why do we want another keeper?!! He turned out to be a bit good though...

Apart from a few suggestions on various message boards, has there been anything which confirms us as the side who bid for Sharp? At what point will we need to change the thread title to Sharp rumour cools down?!

Austin signed for Burnley & Cork has been linked with Burnley despite long TSW threads. There could be a common denominator here but I just can't work it out...

I thought we were meant to be that club??? Would put down a bit of a marker if it was us, IMO.

It's called "lackofsigningsitis". Many of us on here suffer from it so don't worry.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's us; deal done before Euros and confirmed now he's back as it's all quite soon after we were knocked out. Nothing on West Ham forum 'Knees Up Mother Brown'. Cue announcement from West Ham saying "we are delighted to confirm the signing of Jack Cork..."

Not doubting you for a mo but source!!

It's all in the name...!

*** Over reaction to a light-hearted thread alert *** I think you'll find it's pretty realistic to assume Messi, Rooney, Ronaldo and most current international household names won't be queuing up to sign for us in the CCC. Beyond that, who knows.

Genius. Do you write all your own material?

Good plan. Will add one once there've been a few more responses!

Forgot to say that each player can only appear once so the suggestion goes with the first person to make it!

Seeing as there is a real dearth of rumours regarding potential new Saints, I thought it might be fun to have a HCDAJFU thread with a twist. Idea is that you pick 1 REALISTIC signing only & at the end of the window we see who, if anyone, guessed a signing correctly. Doesn't have to be anyone who's been linked with us before but it has to be a realistic target (ie. someone you could see signing for us or someone you've been tipped off may sign for us) but you only get 1 go. As the OP I'll go first: Jay Simpson from Hull.

Would we need Cork if Danns is a 'done deal' as suggested on the rumours thread? Can't see us signing both unless one of Hammond, Morgan or Chaplow are off.

The Mirror might print crap but many were happy to buy into the story about us signing Jack Cork which they printed earlier this week...

So whose dad is now club doctor and what do you know????

....that's the fella. Got anything u'd like to share?

Nicely enough to afford Jack Cork's transfer fee and alleged salary? [did you see the way I tried to bring this thread back on topic but without losing the discussion which went before? Neat, huh?]

According to his Twitter account, Cork was getting on the plane for the Euros an hour ago. Guessing any deal won't be done until afterwards, if we've not sorted something out already?

Whether or not the wage thing is true, let's hope the news of him signing is!!

Any idea when pre-season training starts? Would be good to have any new faces in by then so everyone starts off from the same point and we can hit the ground running from the off.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6954952,00.html David Jones from Wolves CDAJFU as a centre mid, IMO. Turned down a new contract so on a free.

Keep it under your hat but I think it may have been Imogen Thomas...
