Saint Garrett

Sounds very promising. Lets hope they're both fit - would be much more confident with these two playing.

Not good enough.

Yeah, that Italian/talksport Journo Tancredi Palmeri was tweeting about that the other night.

They still have to play the same teams! He's got the Man Utd bug already!

Hmm...might sack that one off then...is there literally no other pubs in West Brom!?

Anyone know of any decent photos which I can set as wallpaper? Haven't found any which are high enough resolution yet...

West Ham mate, suggested he went to a big club and joined them....

I might cry when he leaves. Going to be up there with Pahars emotional!

Alex who?

Awful keeping. Being Rickie on we need goals now!

Probably because he is a full fledged international playing for a country who are better than England. How much would Rooney cost?

Hope Rickie gets a half atleast. Here's hoping Rooney gets injured in the first 5 minutes.

Heard anything a bit more concrete Monk?

Wouldn't be surprised if we see the long ball used to him quite a bit, and that won't work, he needs the ball to his feet and runners beyond him.

Is the Vine any good? worth getting there early, or just heading over there for one or two before the game?

Love that kit.

I think the point is there is so much drivel by certain indivduals on this site at the moment, that it was an odd decision to move/lock this one about actual football rather than the constant trolling/wuming.

But why was yesterdays thread locked....? bloody ridiculous.

If talking about other signings which could impact Saints, or peoples opinion on other players playing against Saints, thats enough for me to be Saints related. It's an interesting discussion - no reason to move it/lock it.

It's a bit ridiculous that there is no explanation as to why it was locked. It's an interesting topic of debate, and would think it would have been one of the last threads to be locked on here.

Doesn't sound like a credible source!

At the moment I can just about justify it, living with parents, not having a wife or kids, etc, but if I didn't have the disposable income I would sack it off and just go to a few games a season. Personally don't think any football match should cost more than £30. £40 I have to have a real think about whether it's worth it, and £50 is a no go regardless.

Well I think he's decent but I want us to sign better than him. If we don't manage to get anyone in then, yes, I wish we would have signed him. But I was there on a Tuesday night in Hartlepool.

The best thing about Downing is that he can cover LB as well. Other than that, not too fussed.

Yep, no idea why the other ones were locked, would be nice if this one could be kept going. Quite nice to have a decent thread on here without certain individuals derailing them. It will be interesting to see how Vydra gets on at WBA, personally I think he'll score a few goals but not set the world alight, (similar to JRod last season). Will Bony turn out to be more of a Drogba than an Alfonso Alves? I think he'll slot in really well, and will suit Swanseas style. Carroll and Downing wont have particularly suited us IMO but will do ok for WHU. Rat is a good signing. The others that stand out are Hooper who we have been linked with for years, and Wolfswinkel who seems to be a really good buy for Norwich. Think Cardiff have bought well and it will be interesting to see how the young lad Palace brought in from Peterborough gets on. I think we could do with one or two more but can't say I'm unhappy with the players we have brought in, just hope we can get a striker over the line (Osvaldo).
