Suhari

I echo the two comments above - sums him up well I think. Capable of doing some very interesting things on the pitch, but also looked like a right moody sod at times and just didn't push on and develop as he might. Good luck to him for the Turkish adventure though! (And wow - SR really have had a clear out here, haven't they?)

One of my favourite ever lines written on a football forum is there: "Stop tw@tting around at the back with the ball then. It's not an exhibition match" GET IT IN THE FUCKING MIXER!!!

Leicester. 😄 1 up after 1 minute, 2-1 down after 15.

They are @SaintsPlayer on Telegram. There are messages posted and responded to today, so maybe they're more active again.

My invite expired, but I emailed them and got a response. This was on the first day of the season though. May be worth searching out alternatives....

They are posting updates on Telegram still, but it's not possible to post messages to the group.

Ross: 'Giza job. I can do dhat' Saints: 'We've got a pitch that needs replanting.' Ross: 'I've got a cousin who can get sum terf.' I don't know what happened next.

It's almost like they've seen him play. The bastards.

Has more of a defensive style I believe.

Pictures or it didn't happen!

How does an active, professional athlete fail a medical? Aren't they basically counting limbs and lungs?

*cough*.... Train. It was the train that sailed.

Will there be any deal sheet drama this time around?

That seems a bit strange.

Any pink rabbits?

That outfit is fucking awful. (Go on, someone. I've set it up for you......)

Strange. Is he a record breaker? What is the shortest stay at a club for any player?

Always wanted him to come good, but he never quite made it and him being in the team always gave me an 'oh shit' feeling. The fact he played so many games does highlight how the quality of our squad decined in recent years. That said, he did perform very well for the first few games of last season before getting injured. It's fair to say that the standard of CB we now have (and seem to be chasing) are much higher. But good luck Jack, and thanks for effort.

You can almost smell the fish.

What a great player this man was for us, and by all accounts a model professional off the pitch too. 'Mainstay of the midfield' would be an understatement. Really enjoyed watching him in a Saints shirt. Legend. Sad to see him go; delighted he's got a move to his homeland. I hope he continues to enjoy his football, and perform well for the next few years. All the very best to you Sir Oriol!

Loan - absolutely. Desparately trying to splurge £25M on a perm signing - nope!

Funny all round this deal. Looked like we agreed a fee, agreed terms and the player seemingly wanted to come. The whole thing with him playing last night was strange; then the Leeds involvement and him 'not getting on the plane'. Maaybe he did want to join us, and PSV said no - Leeds it is (since they've offered more). Could be there's another twist today (if he really fancied joining us, and if PSV really needed the money). Shame we didn't get him - looked a good player. Encouraging that SR are seemingly happy to drop this level of cash on a player though. Hopefully we don't go last-day-silly trying desparately to get an alternative in. Would prefer to wait for the 'right' signing in the next window or two.

I can't get that excited every hour. Really. The years are slipping past. How about a signing tomorrow, another on my birthday, one at Christmas, and if I've had a few early nights, New Year's Day.

If he doesn't sign are you heading to the same quarantine hotel as MLG?

Not when, what. Dutch for 'double glazed unit; sash opening.' Good for the schlamming.
