Ha! A true saints fan ... believe it when you see it! Would be a decent signing but as I've said before earlier in the thread im suprised he'd join us as things stand. Maybe Beckford next ey? ;-) ;-);-)

Good point Tac tics, I know that Flash was working for Leicester as a scout last season and seeing as our own scouting has been described as dire we could do worse than listen to him! Lambert would be an excellent signing for this league but I'm sure he rates himself higher than ourselves at present, the lack of bids for his services seems odd after his what? 34 goals last season! I think I read somewhere that rovers want close to 2million for him so a little bit over priced to my mind.

Just got back in the game? LOL 5-1 at that stage! Seems to me that Colchester are a decent side on their day same as anyone else in this division. Reminded me of the day we went to wolves and won 6-0, everything we hit went in. I shouldn't think the signings had anything to do with it really as they'd been doing well in pre-season though at the same time does seem to stick the v's to those on here who were about to slit their wrists because we couldnt buy a result pre-season. I know which set of fans are going to be happier tonight and we're still 9 points behind them!!!

Possibly but to my mind Saga is closer to the exit door having already stated he WILL NOT play in league 1. As far as I'm aware Rasiak has yet to come out publicly and ask for a move, kudos to him if so. As for Wotton ahead of Gillett ... i can almost see the 2 seconds to late passes and the passes back to the right back already :-(

I think potentially Norwich have made some good signings for this division and could do well if they all come together. Like CWD said Leeds look pretty likely to be there or there abouts along with a host of teams.

Am I the only one thinkng that 1million for the pair is an absolute joke? I appreciate they are in the last year of their contract but they are what? 30 years old and still have it inthem to be effetive at this level. Is a million quid worth what we'd lose from the team by selling them?

I see it much the same, I feel however that Saga can jog the **** on over his last time refusal to play and he looks out of shape in the pre season games Ive seen. I cant imagine his best effort is in it if he stays unfortunately. Rasiak on the other hand would, I'm sure still put the ball in the back of the net realising he can get a move in January when he's nearly out of contract and if he plays well. His wages were cited as the main reason Watford didnt move for him this summer.

To be honest its nothing to do with the fact we were beaten by ajax. Murty was without doubt poor on saturday and this in the main was down to the fact he was over weight as pro's go and had little pace which meant he couldn't get back once he had made a mistake. You only had to look over to the left back slot to see how a player with a little pace could get back and make a saving tackle (step forward mr mills). Its not putting Murty down its just pure fact as seen by everyone who went to the game =] Can only get better though stick him on some hardcore WGS style trainning and he could be a useful squad player.

Adam Hammill, Ali Dia, Lee Todd, Matthew Robinson, Jackobsen, Nillson, Davenport, Pericard; There you go, 8 players all worse than Jason Euell. Granted he isn't the best player we've ever had but far from the worst ever. His main problem was the fact everyone was so annoyed by his over the top wages and his initial spell of not being that bothered. Did well in the pearson run in and played ok for many of his games last season without ever really being exceptional.

Could have been a decent player with us, clearly needs some half decent guidance, something our recent managers clearly haven't been very good at! Has pace and to be fair some of his finishes are superb execution wise, just look at the goal vs Charlton this season. Has something about him but fitness is a major issue in my mind, just look at how good he was 1st half vs burnley against how knackered he looked 2nd half where he had little effect. Think the video sums him up unfortunately, 6 mins of quality over what? 3 years! :-p I'd keep him on reduced wages else good luck at Plymouth.

No one else seems to have mentioned from the sun article that wotte was in talks to sign a player, any ideas who this might be?

Also Oldknow back on SSN as chief operations executive good or bad news?

Two words ... Chris Makin! All well and good remembering how good he used to be for reading but injury prone last year, 35 and lacks pace.

What a legend! We know you've done your best Matt, thanks for at least getting involved and trying to save our club! Fullest respect as ever to yourself!

For a bloke who seemed more than happy to spend his "valuable" time on the forum telling us how close we were to a deal and how absolutely certain they were of a take over TL seems to be rather quite. Personally I'd like to hear from TL with the real reasons they thought they couldn't proceed with a deal. Tony the floors open to you.

I expect this has been spoken about somewhere else but I havent seen it, but, if there is some concern that we would need to take an extra points deduction next season why havent the likes of Stockport also needed to do this? Surely seeing as they were actually "without doubt" ;-) in admin they need this CVA to come out of it as it appears we do to.

How hes managed to get a trial is beyond me :-p Personally I can't say I have the remotest attachment to smith even though he did play quite a lot for us. Another Dyer, has the potential to be good just maybe doesnt have the footballing brain to use the skill that he does have. Aw well glad we didnt offer him terms, always did seem to be a stupid signing.

Could be true could be false but a bloke where I work has been at a course at St Marys all day and has just told me that the word there is that things will go through on Monday. Trust Saints to stretch things out!

Perhaps not breaking news but I've heard BWP really wants to stay and would take a pay cut whilst Surman and DMG both actively want to leave before the end of the pre season. Also heard that alot of the players want to keep Wotte on as boss. Whilst im not BWP's biggest fan I do think he'd do a good job for us if he could get properly fit, always seems to run out of puff after 50-60 mins.

Surely if has been reported on here the Nathan Dyer money was held by the league to pay our football debts Pinnacle will have had to pay the vast majority of the 500k for this months wages? IMO until something more solid than "a source inside the club" comes out with some info we have to take TL's message on here at face value. PINNACLE IN TRYING TO PAY LESS shocker would just about sum up that article.

I'll take issue with this point despite the fact id be happy to keep DMG for next season ... throughout the season DMG had the HIGHEST number of chances of ANY player in the championship I think had one stage he'd scored 8 goals from something like 90 shots. Granted some of the chances he missed were hard but others my proverbial granny could have scored!

When you consider they want to buy Anderson from Liverpool for 1million who has less experience than Dyer yet arguably wasnt as good as Dyer has been for Swansea 700k is a minimum.

Sorry Nick this seems to sum up the idiocy of this whole thread ... Mark Fry won't lose any sleep if we go into liquidation. Being "on Frys side" what a silly petulant comment, I assume you mean on his side in that we all want him to sell the club!? Lets face it hes the only "side" we can be on!

Ha! Seriously you are suggesting that fans boycotted in part due to the fact Lowe is upper class? Twaddle my good man ;-) lol Lets face it each time fans have been put off by the MANAGEMENT of the club or rather the poor management of the club. I don't seem to remember many fan boycotts over Rupes class when we were in the prem. If potential investors have been put off as you suggest they are scared to fail then are they really suitable business people in the first place?!

I believe that was Darren Ambrose but I think Richards would be a good signing!
