Saint Garrett

The article with Hooper gives me the impression he won't be going anywhere. Surprised if he leaves now, he could have just said nothing. I reckon they have been in talks but he's not going to come so has stated he will be staying...just a thought though.

I said i cant see it happening afterwhat Lennon said at the weekend. He replied : JamesNursey true but reckon adkins will probably have spoken to him and player will be keen. depends on celtic letting him go

JamesNursey James Nursey #Southampton chase for #Celtic striker Gary Hooper, disclosed here last Friday & in Mirror, hotting up with Adkins planning new bid. Told 6m

Doubt it'll be moved to Sunday as we play Palace away on the Monday. Could potentially be moved to the friday night game but more likely they'll stick it at 1pm Sat.

Is skates at home not on TV ?

Burnley + Forest for me.

Agree with this, and also quite often recently, he'd ge in good positions to lay a pass on, but never gave it, On Saturday he starting just getting it and passing it and then making a run and getting it back, bas back to how he was playing at the start of the season. Albeit against a god awful Forest side who couldn't have looked much more disinterested.

This is we play with a back 2, 2 CM who generally play about level with the Full backs, and then both wingers + the 2 forwards are all very fluid which causes all sorts of problems for defences. It's very difficult to defend against as defenders are changing who they are marking every 5 minutes.

I think it's pretty hard to keep things quiet though if you're at the top of the Championship looking to spend relatively big, especially if you're going after Celtics main player and top goalscorer.

Can't see it as much as I'dlove this to be the case!

If they're considering not playing him because 'the speculation is unsettling him' then that to me says we are very serious about it and I don't think he would turn down the opportunity to come to us...time will tell I guess.

Fuller? Jones ? Andrew Davies was also there at one point.

Forgot about Schmeichel that day in all honesty. He was superb and denied Lallana about 4/5 times, Fernandes was class out field though.

Ok...I might be on my own here, but I really rate Ramsey, thought he bossed the game when Wales played England recently. Top player.

Just because we enquired about loads of players (i'm sure we have) doesnt mean we are intending on signing them all, I'm sure we'll assess the situation when we know who is available and who is not.

Totally agree, we miss him when he doiesnt play, thought he was MOM yesterday. Goes unnoticed in the way Oakley did.

Where have you been ? Have you heard of that Leibherr bloke ?

Their best player against us at their place was Gelson Fernandes, who is not there anymore. We should beat them at home.

The rain won it for them at their place!

Neither are fit according to TheVMan, Connolly also not fit, neither is Richardson or Butterfield.

Beattie went to Sheff Utd for 4m...

That's Aaron Wards Prowse playing for the u18's so JWP will be with the first team I would imagine, I didn't realise there was 2 of them!

@officialsaints: Saints u-18's (4-3-3 from) Johns; Young, Mugabi, Turnbull, O'Sullivan; Bowman, McCarthy, Gape; Aaron Ward-Prowse, Read, Rowe. No wards prowse for the first team. Maybe Corby Moore, Chambers, Stephens all gone with 1st team?

Exactly what I thought JM

I've had it confirmed to me that it is him, so sad.
