Exactly this. We wouldn't be spending if we could afford it. Cortese is no fool; he may be taking calculated risks, but he is no fool. Far rather we bought young, expensive players with resale value than old heads without.

Doubt we'd get rid of him, but I do believe he will evolve into our 'off-the-bench plan B' (not the singer!) Players like Ramirez and this fella clearly benefit from, and reward, more movement in front of them. J-Rod will be that guy.

Good deal if true. Like the guy, but I truly believe he isn't prem quality.

Wow. Surely not? Love that we're linked with these type of players, but really can't see it.

I think he could really thrive in a team with Ramirez; can't see it happening though sadly.

Lee on. Go on son. Win a starting place!

Hehehehe. Summariser just said that "The lob's on". Giggerty.

Yep. Who is the 'expert summariser'? He's a cock.

Yep. Thought that as soon as it was scored. J-Rod does give us that something different, and will grow into a class no. 9 for us in a couple of seasons.

Great goal. Class. J-Rod accelleration when facing the goal - and a smooth finish. Very tasty.

Quite like the line up - stronger than I would have thought. Please to see Lee involved - hope he gets on. Surprised Mayuka is in there - but not starting. 2-1 Saints.

Good work! I understand he wants to discuss the move with a former player of ours......Czech fella: can't recall his name at the mo......

Damn. This is going to happen. "Ambitious Saints". Love it. Which MOTD pundit is going to state that he won't be coming here?

Paula talks to you during marathons? Saints is full of loons!

Possible. But I do get the feeling we now know exactly what/who we want, and will make early generous. 'Its £xxx with a decision in 3 days,or poke it'. We went early with a generous offer in the summer for j-Rod.

Great entertainment, and can't really complain about a point there. But......dodgy substitutions when we were a goal and a man up. **** poor ball retention - we're a prem team playing against 10 men FFS! And no leadership on the pitch. Did play some good stuff at times though.

Were going to lose this now.

****. We HAVE to keep the ball!

Need to keep the ball better.

Hmmm. Feel a change is needed. Sitting back too much. Mayuka for SRL?

Well I for one wrote that team selection off before they kicked a ball. Shows what I know! Playing well, look fairly solid at the back and creating some chances. Just don't try to see out all of the second half!!

YES! To paraphrase Mick Channon - "You've gotta get the ball into the box....!"

Entertaining game so far. The weird selection seems to be holding up.

Glad J-Rod gets a start, but will not be happy if he is on the left. Seems mental to leave out Ramirez when J-Rod is there to offer more mobility in front of him. Think NA is trying to be too clever.
