No but they'll certainly be aware of it, and they'll realise that it'll probably make it easier to attract him to the club as opposed to other top CCC players with no affiliations to Saints.
Didn't want to start a new thread for just this, but I clicked on something by accident on the OS (I have no idea what) and it came up with this;

Any ideas?
Because of how long they're taking to announce it I don't think the new kit is actually going to be a sash one, I think they've made something totally different but are trying to figure out how best to release it without us all being really disappointed.
Hope i'm wrong though. I'll probably wake up in 6/7 hours to find the sash kit being announced (fingers crossed).
I've always been amazed by the "no pace or strength" argument with Surman. He has a decent amount of pace (not everyone needs to be sprinters) and i've seen him outmuscle two players and run off down the line before.
From that site -
Febian Brandy.
Butterfield at RB if we don't get Calderon.
Grant McCann must be given a trial at least, fantastic player.
Anderson Silva from Barnsley for CM.
Volz would be worth it if he didn't have such bad injury problems.
Ron nothing to be embarrassed about, that will go down in S4E/TSF/SW history with greats like "i sat there and thought to myself who is that black defender he is so dominant!!"
Gecko, tweak that design a bit and send it in as a suggestion to be used from next season. We will all sign a petition or email in as well if you want. It is f*cking epic.
