Won't believe this until he's on the OS holding a shirt. 12 millions pounds......... Just two years ago we were signing left backs from Brentford! Mental.

Whichever way you look at it, a figure of 20 million even being mentioned is utterly batsh*t crazy.

F*ck knows. It's a little brighter then saying "Southampton, no chance," though. The implication is that he is on his way. Personally speaking though, this does sound quite mad. Us spending 20 million on one player? No chance.

A Sky Italia journalist has tweeted saying "Gaston, Southampton approaches."

Effort 4/10 Panic 9/10 Idiocy 8/10 Verdict C- Must try harder

Would be a great signing. We need a quick winger. We need a few defenders first mind.

The only way that will work is liquidation. Start afresh, make it theirs from the bottom up. That will however require short/medium term pain for long term 'gain.' Disclaimer: 'Gain' refers to the existence of a Portsmouth football club in the football league, not a european or premiership force, just a nationally competing club under their control. And even then, only after a decade of fightback. And no, they'll never go for that; They want it all and they want it now!! WTFILN?

Surely it's a gamble between what money can be drained from the corpse compared with what could be made by selling the carion on?

Nice to beat Italy. Now, if only ITV could cease to exist.

Proper innit.

No, the Skates trust is bribing her with fudge while they try to sneak in during broad daylight.

Jermaine Defoe, Take a bow. Superb strike.

If Adrian Chiles says 'Third best team' one more time i'll break my television. I really can't afford to but I will.

No-one else watching? 1-1, Jagielka just equalised.

Heart says Liquidate, head says Trust, that would be so much funnier!

Saying we may struggle, yes, fair enough.... but dormant!?

On a day when all their dreams came true and Balram Chainrai walked away, surely not.... I bet he's at the front of the queue to waste a grand or two.

Clyne. Next question.

Genius!!

Don't worry Neil. We havn't.

This seems to be one of those rare occasions where both Skates and Saints alike are cheering the same event.And considering how well informed the skates have proven to be.......

Well, the blue few (sorry, bestest fans ever....) have got what they wanted. So, now either the Skate's Trust step up or they die. Either way it's going to be chaos.

Breaking on Sky Sports News. Chainrai withdraws bid to buy the Skates!!

Not this again....
