Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

What he said. Welcome to Southampton Anthony, you have renounced your evil Skate ways by joining us - I hope you turn out to be the next Lee Holmes (never thought I'd be writing that so I'm going to be more patient this time around).

Great result. I think it's benefiting us to have the games coming thick and fast at the moment as it's helping the youngsters settle into the side. The more they play, the better & more battle-hardened they'll get and they're playing well already...

Marvellous result - well done lads. I did worry about us going up to Derby - despite their poor league run - as they have just come down from the Prem but, by all accounts, we've played them off the park. Lovely to hear, will be even more lovely to watch when I can afford to get down to St Mary's to see!

Jan said in the Daily Echo article the other day that he wanted 2 players in: a defender and a striker. Seemingly he's got his defender in Cork and it would make sense if he released BWP in order to bring in a striker. The article in the Plymouth paper says BWP would be on loan which I wouldn't have a problem with. It's not big funds up front but I still think he could do a job for us and maybe a loan move and regular footy at Argyle would bring him along a bit or decide, once and for all, if he's not up to this standard of footy.

Great news. Good signing in he wake of Davies' departure. Interesting that the Mail carried the story (as per the other Cork thread) - aren't they Rupert's chosen mouthpiece?

Please let this be true. Cork is an excellent prospect according to a couple of Chelsea supporting mates. Surely he'd prefer the sunny South to gloomy Sheffield?!

Plus he was also only going to be back-up to Elokobi. He may see a chance to be first choice at SMS, especially if Surman goes.

Not pleased at all. As many have said, the rumoured £1.3million fee is too low (unless of course it was a contractual stipulation) but the thing that really annoys me is that he's had all that medical treatment during the summer, to injuries relating to an injury he sustained at Boro, which Saints have obviously paid for. Now he's approaching fitness, he's b*ggered off to Stoke!

Just checked the OS and it says that Shilton has signed but Keegan has been sold. Boy am I f**ked off...

Apparently they offered £1.5million with Pulis or £1.3million without. Thankfully it would appear we chose the £1.3million without!!!

Interestingly, today's Daily Mail mentioned at the end of our match report that Dyer and BWP had been left out after a behind the scenes bust up. Surely, if true, they'd be trying to keep their heads down rather than causing any more trouble?

If there's a clause in his contract to sell him to a Prem side then there's not much Lowe could do about it. If it's a panic sale just to raise money then, at £1.3m, we've undersold by a long way and those sanctioning the deal need to be shot. If we didn't know it before, then we know now this is going to be a LONG and difficult season.

A good call. Definitely gutted by today's result but, as some have said, it could be a character building exercise. At least there seems to be some fight and resilience amongst the more experienced squad members (you could see Perry, Wotton and Svensson berating the ref on Sky Sports News), which should help the younger squad members.
