Golac's Cunning Stunts

No I don't mean that. I don't dispute they can score goals in the Championship. The jury is out if they can do the same in the Prem, although I sure hope they will. What I meant was that Lee's qualities are not the same as just a goalscorer. He has pace and technique and is the perfect foil for an out and out goalscorer. We need somebody with those attributes and I was wondering what we would do if he is going to be out for the first few months of the season. as I don't think playing Rickie, Sharp and/or JRod together is going to do it (or as somebody mentioned earlier... Barnard)

Go on then, argue that one for me.

Actually, no it doesn't in the slightest, but you carry on adding value mate.

He says it is a garlic gorogoro vegetable curry but I defer to your superior knowledge! Katzu curry WITH the fried pork sounds most excellent.

3 quality prem class strikers? And do they possess the same attributes as Lee?

Anybody know if he will be fit for the start of the season? On 18 Jun he tweeted his injury was "getting better". Think if he is not going to be fit, we need to have a player with his skills and qualities on our radar. On a side note, would you fancy eating at his place? I def would... [/img]

Do keep up MLG

looks like an update on this is imminent: Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach #SaintsFC update for you all very soon regarding reports Luke Shaw could be off to #CFC. On PA wire momentarily.

So is this piece in the independent wrong then? If it is, you need to tell them :-) http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/chelsea-to-bid-4m-for-saints-teenager-shaw-7904418.html?origin=internalSearch

Just a thought on this. Would it not now be a prefect time for Rangers to apply to join the English leagues? If they are going to be stuffed in Scotland, why not be stuffed in England with the hope of a far greater reward a few years down the line. Having said that, I have seen the proposals for a radical overhaul of the Scottish leagues on the back of all this, so maybe things will work out better for everyone up there after all. Can't imagine everybody is going to get on too well up there though, not after what's gone on.

Really not very funny :-(

Not seen much evidence of that so far in your 5000+ posts

I heard a strong rumour that the @rse are in for him

Are you sure? I thought it was Dennis rofe

He is behind that big bush I reckon

Def a Saints scarf. Just open it in Paint and enlarge - Saints badge clearly visible

Do they not then run the risk of him opting to stay and see his contract out and leave for nothing at the end of next season?

There's a stunning penalty miss on that Mirror link given above http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-target-jay-rodriguez-the-burnley-867931

Nice one thanks. Amazing how the memory fades. I vaguely remember now being worried how saints were ever going to finish 5th bottom to avoid the drop that year.

Probably a stupid question, but how come Blackburn managed to play 4 more games in the PL than Newcastle?

If anyone wants a good cheering up this morning go read the spuds reactions as it happened. Pure class! Pg 32 onwards http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv/players-lounge/28126-bayern-munich-support-thread-****ing-do-chelsea-32.html

"Either this is a wind up or you're very stupid." In response I would say either this is a wind up or you are very stupid or very arrogant. Very probably all 3.

Looking forward to being able to pick some saints players. SRL and Lallana might be cheap and well worth a punt.

Llorente from Athletic Bilbao please :-)
