the saint in winchester

Having to stifle the giggles here at work. We should do this kind of list every December. See who gets the most 'hits'.

From Sky Sports now :VILLA'S TARGETT Aston Villa are in talks to sign Southampton left back Matt Targett, Sky Sports News understands. Targett would provide competition for Neil Taylor, who is currently the only senior left-back in Aston Villa’s squad.

That would be good news.

I would as well, but I fear the player now has a preference for Celta and we may not see the best of him if we should make him stay and prove himself.

I agree with you K,Billy. Ralph has motivated a lot of cheesed-off players this season. He could certainly do that with Boufal. But it sounds like Bouf sees his future in Spain now and wants us to agree a deal. Example : I have my car on Gumtree now. I want to sell it, but if the best offer is half market value, I'm keeping it. I tend to think that for Hoedt and Carillo too. Why should we sell them off cheap and pay half their wages to play elsewhere? Let them be OUR squad players, if we are funding them to not play.

Callum Wilson available for £35M. The question I am asking - and haven't answered myself yet - is "is he worth twice as much as Che Adams?" Massive upgrade on Chas Austin, but can Che be that for half the outlay?

Good to read the above comments and know my feelings are reciprocated. Like the OP, heard the radio news about how awful it is was and that the perp was expected to be fired or imprisoned. When I saw the footage, it seems fair use of force to me. As you comment above, it was trespass to a private event, and then interrupting the proceedings. She was reasonably restrained. Some people seem to think they can go anywhere and do anything without consequence. Seems the first contact from an official or a word of rebuke, and they are claiming their rights to free speech are impinged.

If he has scored 2 goals, then he will have caught the eye of bigger clubs than us. We will be outbid now. Hope we can get him. I love being wrong.

This is just a list of us confirming DONE, isn't it?

Haha, well said, SA. We want current prolific goal scorers. He is that. I hope he comes.

I would thumbs up to a Jarrod Bowen signing. Any chance we can get him?

Nominated!

Looks like the large offer on Turnbull from a Prem side actually came from Norwich, then? Anyone know if we were EVER interested in this guy? Who named us?

Just kiddin' Ja ... merely suggesting Liverpool were actually going to move for Forster instead! They won't.

Yeah, I believe Monk wouldn't agree to a sale of the player Adams in view of uncertainty over who, if anyone, they could bring in to replace him. This is likely the Club overruling him "in the long term interest of the Club" and they have agreed to end his time at the Club. Re the replacement - how soon can we get the headline "Pep takes over at Birmingham" up and out there?

Yay, Forster it is then!!!

Good news, everyone, re Adams. Get the deal done before other offers roll in and we get outbid.

I can see us withdrawing our offer now in return for first refusal or a compulsory purchase of him in a year's time. Gentleman's agreement.

The report I read said he WOULD be interested in the move, and £12M is the asking price. Would explain why we are looking to get that French lad in.

USA are simply ...awesome ..(to quote a word from their language) If it wasn;t for the Chile keeper (Enda?) who is playing really well this would be another cricket score. And Alex Morgan not even playing.

Poor penalty. Get Alex Scott on.

@Batman - Alex Scott looking delicious again. Like that red n black dress she's wearing. Gabby : "Phil's tinkered with his goalkeeper this week" ooh I say

Or waive the game and just award Liverpool the 3 points.

Yeah, an odd one that. In live time, I called 'penalty' and when play continued I was calling for VAR. When it went to VAR and was played back multiple times, I saw the French player, both feet off the floor, jump into the kick path of the Norweigan player, who - as you say - connected with the French maid's knee on the follow through. Then I was in the camp of 'NO penalty'. I was amazed it was then given as a penalty!!! Diani though. She can go into my fantasy dream team any time.
