It'll never, ever happen.

Phil Neville saying QPR should have got something out of the game just about summed it up for me.

What a signing this lad has been. Seems to buy in to the spirit of the club and doesn't come across as an ego given he is a European Cup winner. Has it been confirmed we have an option to buy (and agreed fee) at the end of the loan?

Haha 10/10.

Strange feeling. Obviously I'm delighted but I'm not even surprised we won tonight. Expected us to win. Only thing I am surprised about is Arsenal fielded a stronger team than I thought they would.

The debt at Newcastle hasn't been paid off at all. It is instead an interest free loan that Ashley has every intention of re-couping so the debt is still very much there. There is also the small matter of using St James Park as a blank cancas to advertise Sports Direct and the coverage he gets as a result when the advertising space could be better put to use by selling it to other companies. Ashley is turning a profit at Newcastle, there is no doubt about that.

Totally agree. I remember on at least 2 occasions him dribbling the ball out for a throw in under no pressure at all. Saw you are in Isleworth. Ever get in the Red Lion or Woodlands?!

Is today the transfer deadline day or has it been extended to tomorrow?

I remember when a resurgent Newcastle under Bobby Robson splashed £6m on Craig Bellamy (comparable money in todays massively over inflated market) from recently relegated Coventry after an awful season. I remember my geordie mates in uproar about it at the time. What a signing he turned out to be. Long has a few similar attributes. I think he 'll win everyone over.

I quite rate him. He's a hard worker and has good pace. Can play as the main forward or in the J-Rod role. £12m is a lot of money but ever club knows we have money to spend which puts 20-30% on top of any fee we'd normally pay. Happy(ish) with this signing.

Haha a Lisbon based player tweeting his heart and mind are in Southampton?

Jesus. I bloody hope not.

Can anyone confirm we have agreed an option (and/or) fee for us to buy at if he does well? Absolutely nothing wrong with the loan signing if this is the case. Means he'll be fighting for a long term deal which should keep him on his toes. What we don't want is a straight forward loan deal like Remy at Newcastle last season where the player uses us to put himself in the shop window and holds all the aces when it comes to negotiating a deal to sign permanently.

Sandy, the lesbian from Club jazz magazine. She was filth and I reckon she'd have let me join in.

Nice lads they were but the keepers on the clubs books at that age weren't really up to standard.

Would be very happy with this signing. For me, a much better option than Marshall.

I would absolutely crack up if we signed him but really isn't going to happen. Is it?!?!?! No, its not.

Remy over Benteke for me but don't think we'd get either. Happy to be proven wrong of course....

I used to work for Enhance Media who own NORAS. If it's a highly skilled job it might be worth you checking it out. It's free to download. Failing that, I work in online recruitment and know how most job boards are set up and how to write your ad copy to give it maximum exposure. If you'd like me to take a look at your ad and offer advice, I am happy to. Cheers.

Dont think anyone is worthy and can't see us signing anyone ready to just step in to it. I'd keep it free if thats the case until someone earns it.

Slats is year below. Reading between the lines, I believe he already has a scholarship but Saints don't want to publicise it and draw further attention to him or set a precedent for other 15 year olds to expect the same.

Carel is decent but apparently a shocking finisher. The good news is he works extremely hard and carves most of the chances out himself. This batch of 16's aren't considered very strong. They had a large amount of 15's playing up with them last season. Joe Lea is the skate who was taking the **** out of Lallana on Twitter a couple of years back and nearly got released because of it. He's pretty useful too though apparently.

To all - you are a commodity and worth a lot to this club. We dont want you to go but if you feel you must, we will let you provided your suitors pay what we feel you are worth. If they do not, we will not be held to random and we expect you to accept it and give your all for us.

Is it only me that thinks the picture looks nothing like him?

Murty has left the coaching staff as well.
