Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Wave the wonga Nicky boy and end this saga...

Maybe. Or maybe we simply valued the player at less?

If Austin is on his way to Ipswich or Blackpool and Mackail-Smith could well be staying at Posh until summer, what other striking options are available to us, if we do want to bring someone in? Will Hoskins is having a decent season in a poor Bristol Rovers side, Glenn Murray at Brighton is out of contract in the summer or a Championship striker like Tyson or Garner from Forest?

Didn't someone recently post that NC was releasing 'false' information to weed out potential leaks at Saints? Wouldn't it be funny if we'd had a 15 page speculation thread all derived from an NC joke. No, you're right, it wouldn't...

I know there are reports saying Austin is Ipswich-bound but maybe our plan is Seaborne plus cash for Austin and then buy Jason Pearce from Bompey, as weren't there rumours about a potential mystery signing from there a week or so ago? Maybe we won't push on for Pearce until Seaborne goes. All hypothetical but makes sense to my tiny mind.

This is the key bit. Ipswich and Swindon may agree but does Austin want to go to Ipswich? I guess all will be resolved soon...

Let's hope there as accurate as the Mirror who said Lee Barnard had signed for Leeds, last January...

I'm a non-slating individual! PM?

You sound increasingly confident. Know you some more and are you willing to share?

With Mackail-Smith as our fall-back position in case we don't win perhaps?

Maybe that's how we're tempting Swindon. Swindon get cash and Martin fits the young defender signing on loan. Austin gets mucho wonga + doesn't have to move house. He'd be daft not to sign up, wouldn't he?

I'm sure £800k was mentioned when we first brought him here.

Ian Thomas-Moore has gone from Tranmere to Rotherham. Could it mean Le Fondre on the move?

Great opportunity for 1 of our players to really make a name for themselves on Saturday. By kicking Gary Neville as often and as hard as they can.

Sounds like he could be a signing if NA can get him to perform week in, week out. What we need is a manager with a diploma in sports psychology to get inside his head and get him perfoming... hey!

Memo to Nigel Adkins. Always best to do your research on the opposition before you play them not after they've beaten you. Learn this and you'll go far.

Maybe Barry Fry's public comments are a stop talking and pay up move, to us, if we want the player? I'm sure they'd rather we got a move on, if we do want the player, as there won't be much time for them to get a replacement if he does go. Less then a week of the window to go Nicky and Nige...!

At least they're signing players!! I know we've held on to Chaplow and Guly + convinced Lallana to stay but it would be good to introduce new blood to the squad a.s.a.p.

Post on 606 saying we've signed Mackail-Smith. Done deal then, surely? ;-) http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A80244263

They wouldn't be allowed to say if we'd bid because we complete our transfers on the q.t.

Just thinking that. We'll all be so much wiser this time next week, I guess.

Maybe the poll should be Austin or Mackail-Smith?

Aren't Charlton skint? Maybe BWP is there to help raise funds?

The difference between Theo and Oxo is that, at 17, Theo was on the plane but Oxo is only on the bus.

This from the Saints threads on 606; probably more BS tho.
