Exactly. I dont know what the motivations of MLT, Benali and McMenemy are in going to the press, but Channon and the 1976 boys have been fantastic in their continuing support for the club.

Strange set of deals for Holloway I think. Blackpool have thrived on work ethic and tight team spirit. Puncheon and Beattie are going to test that.

But its clear that his role is primarily as a sub / cover for AOC and Lallana. There is no way we would get better than him for that job imo.

Hes fast, he gives additional options and backup for Lallana and AOC. He was in the England U19s and has played regularly at championship level. We're in Lg1. How much more do you expect?

And Blackpool's site says its a loan with a view to making permanent. Good news.

Can't disagree with any of that.

4 years ago?

Yes sorry meant Martin not Mills. There cant be too many other Lg1 clubs fishing in the prem pool apart from Saints.

Agent 46, the guy who knew something about Adkins becoming manager and seems to represent some of the Saints players tweeted this. Part of it might refer to Mills. The other part could also be Saints? Very tenuous I know, but this is a discussion board...... FootballAgent46 Football Agent Just a steady day for me today doing one transfer from Premiership to League 1. Had a bid from West Ham rejected for one of my others

He is backup to Lallana and AOC imo - exactly what we need with Holmes crocked and Puncheon away.

Any news on Beattie?

Its already 1.18pm

Mine too. Did I mention the reason for my divorce......?

Exactly. How professional would it be if Cortese went on Sky sports to complain a house rented from what he thought was a friend of the club was infested with lice, Cortese's stuff was stolen from the house (no sign of break in) and the utilites were cut off because of previous bills unpaid by Benali.

Stadium ones are unveilings. woot.

It doesnt matter whos in the right, you don't air stuff like this on tv. My ex wife's mother may or may not be a a trouble making, moany, florid faced old harridan who smells faintly of wee. but I wouldnt say any of that to anyone who knows us both, let alone on national tv. It doesnt help, it just stirs the pot -which it was calculated to do imo.

Mackail Smith is in a similar position I think.

More to the point wtf would anyone reject a bid of £30m for Carroll?

@SkysportsPeteO: Skysports.com understands Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not be leaving Southampton this month. Follow me on Twitter @skysportspeteo

Nice comment at the end. "I look forward to their moon landings, it'll be nice to see The Clangers again."

48 appearances as a striker, 5 goals. I can think of defenders with a better strike rate than that.

The Gunners have offered £5million up front with £5m to follow in *instalments, and are willing to loan Oxlade-Chamberlain back to the Saints for the rest of the season. Wenger fears it could be now or never for a deal as Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona all circle. If thats true we should hang on till the Summer. http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-news-Arsenal-trying-to-rush-through-10m-Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain-before-window-closes-article686377.html

You and Dune didnt read the small print. St Chalet was cute. The poll was was 'the poster to be banned this weekend' not 'the poster to be banned for this weekend'. Tuesday might never come..... tsk

Quite. Signed a three year contract last year with a top club in Austria. Scored 30 goals in 41 games. Rapid Vienna are going to be happy with him and he aint going to be thinking "must jack it all in and go to Lg3 in England".

That, in all honesty, is probably the first post on this board that I am genuinely dumbfounded by. Polish students would be mad to not take advantage of a free / paid for education and we are crazy to let them.
