Saint Garrett

To be fair to that guy, he was first to know about the Billy Sharp deal. He certainly seems to have some links in Southampton. Fingers crossed we just let Adkins have a go, he could be our Alex Ferguson.

Thing is if we need him at any point of the season, he will get terrorised. You can see from this season that Harding is lower NPC level/High L1 standard

I've seen more of J-Rod and he looks class from what I've seen. Plus he's younger than Hooper.

Certainly need strengthening. Not convinced Hooper is the striker we need though, think I'd rather have J-Rod.

Because Forecast still has a contract...

Think they release them in stages...so they'll anounce the first 3 months then the next 3 etc. Id rather just go to the pub or watch it on the internet if I can't make the game.

Porbably be on less than we have been on TV this season...

Don't know why but I thought he was 22....ok no problem then, he doesnt need a spot in the 25.

Yer, the team suffered because we couldn't defend and poor management,

GK Davis ? ? DF Fox Hooiveld Fonte Martin Richardson ? ? ? MF Lallana Schneiderlin Cork Hammond Chaplow SDR ? ? ? ST Lambert Lee Sharp Guly ? u21 Chambers Shaw Ward-Prowse Stephens Could argue Butterfield and Harding but I don't think they're good enough. I would look to get rid of Barnard, Puncheon, Dickson, Forte, Seaborne....not sure about Reeves ? Loan ?

Sounds like a top bloke and a great guy to have around the place. Also seems like the joker of the pack. Glad he didnt play much this season though, as I think he would have been terrorised.

If Butterfield and Harding play quite a few games for us next year then we will be relegated. Simples.

Yer not sure why though...bargaining power as a swap deal maybe so he didnt leave for free ? Odd decision on the face of it though.

Lee Dickson ?! ha Ryan Dickson you mean !! Wouldn't be surprised to see Puncheon gone either. Would say that one of Butterfield and Frazer will also be got rid of with us bringing in another RB.

Lallana/Davis or Schneiderlin. Think it's Lallana though.

Dont think he's leaving, he'll be part of the coaching set up no doubt.

Surely something must have happened behind the scenes.

Be surprised if we're interested in him, unless it's back up for Rickie....and I can't imagine him coming here for that.

He needs games. Could see him going to somewhere like Everton, Liverpool or Newcastle though.

Could Keith Andrews be worth a punt?

True but just cant see him going back there...Just like I couldnt see Hooiveld going back to Celtic.

Yer he was there, don't think they particularly liked him though. I know my mates were more than happy when he left.
