Lee On Solent Saint

Hearts do need to replace Shankland as you say. Maybe with no transfer fee involved they think he represents a good punt. With European football too he might be attractive for his experience. No idea what Celtic's front line is like but they could do a lot worse if he stays fit

Maybe. But over a longer term contract it might have made a difference.

Whilst a little disappointing, he has to think of himself and his family. He's not getting any younger and probably wants more security than we were willing to offer. Would be stunned if he didn't end up anywhere other than Scotland. Think Hearts is his most likely destination.

Jesus. This us excruciating

They do love the Portuguese up there. Weird decision. Thought Edwards would have done alright this season. Maybe his end of season comments didn't help him too much.

Or 40m for THB and Charles for that matter

Massive Championship game against Sussex next up. Really need a positive result in that one.

Or it could be that our movement in the penalty area when the ball is delivered has improved.

To be fair he was half decent when Moyes was there. Nuno didn't rate him at that was that.

Those two wickets have made it slightly interesting. Although seems a draw the mostly likely outcome, which is never a bad result against Surrey.

He saves way more shots than Baz ever did. That'll do for me.

If Baz is willing to stay and play back up to Peretz for a season, I'd rather we divert our funds elsewhere.

Are we actively looking to get rid of Baz? Is there any indication that he would be willing to stay as back up keeper?

I like him as a player. There's something there to work with. Hopefully he can have a bit more of a productive impact this coming season

I could actually see them struggling to get out of their group. You'd think Turkey would win the group, Paraquay and the Aussies aren't mugs at this level.

Fair enough. I mean, I can't stand the guy so don't really care too much what club he fucks over next, even if it is Leicester.

Why is this forum still obsessed with Martin? It's approaching 400 pages now. I don't get it. He's about as relevant to me as George Burley, Rubes Selles and Nathan Jones.

He's probably what gets termed a confidence player. I remember up until that whack he got against Norwich when he was on the end of a horrific tackle, he was pretty decent.

Think he may end up at Hearts. They need a replacement for Shankland. Could be a decent move for him, Champions League football, well for a couple of games at least.

Thank fuck for that. We really needed to get him in. Will be Championship keeper of the season. Absolutely no doubt about that.

I remember being quite excited by his signing. Obviously that didn't last to long.

Actually, if he's getting to shag Liz Hurley it's a pretty good gig

Do you work for the MI6?

I actually don't mind both AB and JT. Certainly Tessem isn't backward in saying his views on the club or in match commentary. If you want co-commentators that just wank over their clubs for an entire game try listening to Guy Whittingham or whoever is doing the Bournemouth game.

Time to draw a line underneath all of this now. We know what direction the club are seeking to go, they obviously see a future with Tonda still at the wheel. Am still 50/50 as to whether he should go, my main fear is that the players will have lost all respect for him. However, I guess the club have sounded at the squad and decided that it's better to stick than twist. Obviously the cost of not gaining promotion is going to cost us a couple of outs, but if this is tempered by some astute signings and the majority of the squad staying it should stand us in decent stead. I would make signing Peretz an absolute priority if a deal can be done and he is willing to come back.
