ive just seen jermaine pennant in ocean village and he said saints are a big ambitious club and he's back from spain to talk to a number of clubs with ambition .....
Perhaps he'll be lining up alongside this fella in our team for next year, according to a comment on the Echo website. Or not.
Another player mentioned earlier in this thread, Roy O'Donovan, has gone elsewhere (Coventry). I'm sure Boothroyd wanted him when at Colchester, so no surprise he's taken him Cov, now he's there.
Wow, the rumours really have dried up. Even the Echo website has nothing further after Surman's move to Norwich. You'd think England had been playing in the World Cup or something...
I thought Norwich were skint? I'm sure you don't get that much for reaching the Championship so how are they buying Surman and bidding for Jackson? Not surprised £500k was turned down; didn't Gillingham want £1.5m last season?
But to be fair, we might struggle to sign a decent striker using the line "would you like to come and sit on our bench whilst our 30+ goal striker tears teams apart?!"
Wouldn't it be funny if, when we finally return to the Prem, Markus takes off a false face and it turns out it was Rupert Lowe guiding us all along. Second thoughts, perhaps not...
Don't worry chaps, I'm off on holiday today and not sure if I'll have internet connection! My recent impatience re: a lack of signings will be punished by a glut of transfer activity whilst I'm away, no doubt...!
