Ken Tone

doesnt make a lot of sense. I don't know him, but if he is not good enough to have a regular starting place at Stoke, he is unlikely to have one with us. He's more likely to be a squad player and substitute. So if his motive to move is to get a regular start .......

right up the Buttner?

Not sure what gives you that idea. A lot of fans (including me) rate him very highly. I'd be very sorry to see him go. Like CB Saint, I wonder if his agent is asking for a huge rise, and Saints are calling his bluff.

So how late would Millwall have had to have been before the ref awarded us the game as a walkover?

not just me then! Lots of sports 'trails, now

Anybody else watching incomprehensible Arabic discussion in front of a ground that is clearly not the Den?!

Whilst he didn't look particularly impressive on Saturday , regardless of any stats, I thought the main problem was that he was so isolated from the midfield. I rate James Ward-Prowse, but he wasn't linking the midfield to Pelle as the lone striker in the way Lallana did to Lambert or whoever. I wonder if Tadic might be better in that position if we are going to play that formation?

Mods, can we rename this thread "the 3 or 4 same boring prats arguing with each other thread" and start another one with any transfer rumours please?

Well with Balotelli, at least they can be sure of some fireworks ​even if they are in his bathroom!

Blimey! An actual transfer rumour? ..... On the transfer rumours only thread?! Anyway, given that I'm prepared to admit I've never even heard of him, does anyone know any more about this bloke, or how good he is etc?

"Ward-Prowse, Ward-Prowse, so good they named him twice"

Will someone please explain what 'Taider is less than 3’ means?

I was pleased to see him clearing/kicking with either foot.

Spot on.

Don't really care whether or not they compliment each other. It's whether they complement that matters. Mind you, it would be rather sweet if they kept telling each other how much they liked each others latest haircut etc ;-)

But not a very funny one.

Have you looked it up yet?

If ever there was a good example of an oxymoron .............

Yoshida was terrible at left back, but he wasn't so bad on the right. Neither he nor Cork are much good there though! He is however a perfectly competent centre back., much better than many on here are giving him credit for. I wouldn't want to rely on him as our first choice for a whole season ,but he's a good standard for a premier league 'reserve'.

Apart from the everlasting medicals he's supposedly had, seriously, is he fit enough to play immediately? He was reported to have some sort of muscular injury, and even if that is better now, presumably he's not been training flat out
