Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

The winner.

Adkins moves Cork to Southampton

This is kind of the way I had interpreted the statement, particularly as he didn't go on to say anything about being due to meet him for talks (from the Tweets I've seen anyway). The stuff on the Chelsea forum is encouraging, though, so hopefully it's NC has let NA spill the beans as it's all about to be wrapped up.

What a Cork-er! After his 40 yard screamer defeats the Skates...

Which could be translated as 'don't expect to see any new faces soon...'

For anyone hoping we'd replace Davis with ex-Scunny keeper Joe Murphy, I see he's signed for Cov today.

Football rumours (yes, I know!!) has us linked with Adam Barton of PNE. BS most probably but HCDAJFU most definitely IMO.

Bringing Gary Lineker back from Japan in the 90s is my fave. Appeared on the back of some of the red tops. He retired instead...

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. List so far: Jay Simpson (Hull) - me Anthony Pilkington (Huddersfield) - sfc4prem Keith Andrews (Blackburn) - Wadge Jack Cork (Chelsea) - Colinjb Joe Murphy (S****horpe) - Fergie Lee Peltier (Huddersfield) - saint lard Robbie Keane (Spurs) - Jimmy_D Brian Howard (Reading) - itchen_dan Neil Danns (Palace) - Benali Saint David Mirfin (S****horpe) - ChrisPY Craig Mackail-Smith (Peterboro') - CWD Josh Wright (S****horpe) - S-Clarke Dean Cox (Leyton O.) - the scud Danny Ward (Bolton) - The Fat Controller Dale Stephens (Oldham) - PaulGilchrist_76 Jordan Rhodes (Huddersfield) - SNSUN Daniel Agyei (Liberty Professionals) - benjii Brian Stock (Doncaster) - SuperSAINT Diomansy Kamara (Fulham) - Saint Fan CaM Anthony McNamee (Norwich) - ottery st mary John Carew (Villa) - pingwing Jason Pearce (Bournemouth) - silversaint Craig Dawson (WBA) - markr27 Nigel Reo-Coker (Villa) - Smirking_Saint Haris Seferovic (Fiorentina) - Dazza82 Tamir Cohen (Bolton) - westmidlandsaint Ian Harte (Reading) - SaintBobby Grant Holt (Norwich) - Pilchards Darren Ambrose (Palace) - gogo_saint Oscar Gobern (Saints) - The9 George Boyd (Peterboro') - Cabrone Sam Vokes (Wolves) - Channon's Sideburns Gary Roberts (Huddersfield) - Appy Billy Sharp (Doncaster) - WATERSIDEIFASAINT David Vaughan (Blackpool) - Rusaldo Amine Linganzi (Blackburn) - SFCDan

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...
