So we persist with the out of form Tadic and Redmond. Is our squad really that weak in the attacking positions? Hopefully with Long back we'll be on the front foot. #bringbackthepress

Just noticed that the shifty looking bloke in the Virgin Media adverts has more than a passing resemblance to old Saggy Chops. Coincidence?

Nice. Except no PEH. Poor guy doesn't get game time anywhere.

Would feel sorry for the Ox if he is played anywhere but central as he wants. Edit that - I really doubt I will feel sorry for a millionaire, part time working, 20-something, celebritory-fitty-dating, sportsman. Even though he lives in Liverpool. Isn't Clyne injured? Must be a bad one if he's not in the CL squad.

Didn't see him. Good refit, and now it's full of people "who aren't from round 'ere".

I'm in the King Charles. Was he heading this way?

He just needs games, which I really hope he gets. Must be frustrating for him to see the likes of Redmond and Tadic getting constantly picked ahead of him, and constantly underperforming. Give him a run of games MoPe!

Do we have the right players to shuttle now? #bringbackthediamond

So what about now? Sir Les, Freddie and crew doing okay, or are they a bunch of clueless muppets? How much do you trust those running our club?

Credit to the Scousers.....they way they let us keep VVD until January just shows how classy and generous they are, like. 'Cause if they REALLY wanted him this window, they'd have got him.

Cue 11pm headline: "Sky sources have exclusively learnt tonight that Southampton may be open to selling VVD if not this window, then potentially during a future one. One thing is for sure: this story will run and run."

W**kpuffin.

**** me. I am totally staggered. What a knob. Was this his audition for TalkSport?

Thought he was training with the U23s now? As per the photo last week? It's almost as if no-one outside the club really knows what is going on....but is trying to look like they do.

So VVD is at Staplewood training, and not as reported yesterday, on a 4 day break?

What has he actually done? Clash of knees isn't overly descriptive!

Yesterday's news. Turns out the guy who took the picture of the silver taxi 'near Stanley Park' (and which was supposedly the same one from the airport) admitted he was bull****ting.

No-one making a countdown-sticky-thread? Looks like JC is on his way.

Would've thought he could do better than Brugge.

RAWK is in full-flow, plane silliness. Quite amusing and enjoyable actually.

Potentially shaping up to be an interesting last few days, particularly in light of Tom28s latest. Guessing the attacking player we are looking to bring in is more one for the future? (The one we'll apparently bring in regardless of VVD staying/going). The higher profile options we're in for (if VVD goes) could be interesting.......who would fit as a higher-profile, Saints-type, AM signing? Walcott? Barclay? - can't see it. The Brazilian guy (Luam? - linked previously?) And what about the current AM player who will go on loan if that happens. Boufal? Tadic? Redmond? Really interested to see what will happen with Claise/PEH too. Surely JC will go. What about Targett - surely he'll get a loan move? Think we'll see more movement than we normally do at Saints this late in the window.

Ahh.. Thanks for the clarification. So is he now refusing to play, or are we making him unavailable due to his attitude?

I assume he will go, given Tom28's comments....even thought they do go against Freddie's interview from a week or so back. However I would rather we dig our heels in big time, switch off the fax and keep him this window. Are we still fining him for refusing to play?

That's worrying. Where exactly did you hear this information?

So....great that we get a point away against the league leaders.....or Another shapeless and toothless performance?
