Saint Garrett

This.

Luis Muriel Mattio Destro Stefan Keissling

I believe the deal was at most £2.5m, but the initial was far less than that.

He definitely won't or you personally don't think he will?!

He's more than capable of putting in decent balls though from set pieces, he just had a few games towards the end of the season when they were poor, hopefully he's been working on his consistency levels, and maybe he can channel all that talent to be a special player for us.

This weekend I think mate.

When has he ever looked like he's lacked enthusiasm or effort? He's a very hard working player if you actually watch him, it's just taken him a bit longer than we wanted for him to get settled. Hopefully he can find his feet this year. And also, he's a midfielder, he's not a striker. Between 5-10 from each of the '3' behind the striker and ill be happy,

Bit of a generalisation....there have been plenty of successful ones too!

I agree that Inter have had a dreadful season, and there are much more attractive clubs to be at...however I'm not sure we're one of them!

Inter Milan....you high ?

But surely you can have some patience with your 'gut feeling'. He's clearly got talent, and huge potential, and is a player who gets the crowd off their seats. I'd much rather a player tries to make things happen rather than just average player who takes no risks.

Christ you are a moron.

I don't understand how you can be so sure about that? He's been in England 1 year, has had a few knocks, and is still 21. Why are you writing him off as a definite failure so early? Genuine question...

Apparently been walking on fire tonight!

FWIW I thought Puncheon had a fantastic season last season. I didn't think I'd be saying that this time last year !

I'm not sure about 'great'. He had some solid games and keeps things ticking over, plus hes quite good at keeping the ball, but I wouldn't say he had one 'great' game for us all year.

I love Lallana, but Gaston is considerably better than him. Has much more end product, and more about him. Plus he's got much more potential IMO.

Let's hope this is b*llocks.

good post. This pretty much closes the thread. Don't see how any Saints fan can actually say our transfer committee have done a poor job at all.

You are up there with 110%per Saint and Barry Sanchez...give it a rest.

Anyone interested ? Bought a paid for my sister for her birthday, and bought the wrong size - tried to return them, but was over a month ago now so can't ! I paid £35 and they're brand new - never been worn!

Good read that, thanks for sharing. Really think/hope he can push on this season with a full pre season behind him and a year after he arrived.

Was just chatting to a Napoli fan - (random I know but he's my barber) he reckons they'll go for Higuain, and one of Osvaldo or Damiao. But apparently he read this morning that Roma's new manager wants Osvaldo to stay at Roma. Did say he wouldn't be surprised if the one they don't get comes to Saints, and speaks of Osvaldo very highly.

Ha, the most ridiculous thing of this post is Glasgow saying he has a 'contact'...he just makes it up! Since the takeover......this is how I would rate them.
