Clyne is the better right back now but still gutted to lose Chambers as he has good potential. So who becomes the back up right back? Will we sign a back up? Or someone even better than Clyne?

This. And Ours is a Dyson. Dyson don't even make washing machines anymore.

The windows we signed Pulis and Forecast were more lols TBF.

I'm not sure the two go hand in hand. The exits, all English (bar the want away Lovren) and home grown which big clubs in this country now want, were all done so that we received a hefty transfer fee for each. We have the money to bring in players of the likes of Richards and Firmino, the question is whether we still have the draw. Thanks to one thing we got right this summer, the managerial appointment, I think we do have that draw for players to come here.

Richards? Firmino? I approve of these links. Make it happen Saints.

Douglas Costa is heavily linked with Arsenal. We could rip Burnley apart though... ;-)

There will be a lot of threads bumped in a month's time.

We be patient. Apparently the sober me is but the drunk me is not. If the club continues to be decimated or ruined, the best time to voice discontent is game time, live on Sky. Until then? Patience IMO.

Morgan will stay another season.

It's ok, we have Paul Scholes mk2...

Hello. "Happy clapper" here. (Most of the time.) Been out drinking (which means being an agony uncle to weird mates.) Ok, we expected Osvaldo to go, after our English boys. And Dejan. And to a point, Morgan. And at a massive pinch? Ramirez. but Chambers? The club is now taking the ****. alcohol talking? Perhaps. I'm still not impressed.

Looks like it. SempreInter claim we're still going to battle them for Hernandez. Can't see it myself. http://www.sempreinter.com/2014/07/24/inter-duel-saints-for-chicharito/?

Bella Emberg. Transfer gossip? We need a smidge, anything, to talk about. Even outgoings would liven it up!

I'm wayyyyyyy too young for all these old *****es, but I'm now an advocate for the invention of time travel. (Except Chrissy Brinckley, I'd do a few hours of therapy to tap her as she is now...)

GK, CB, LB, Str. So 4. Outside chance of a second CB and another AM/winger. Debatable whether we'll go for another CM if Morgan goes though, with so many young players trying to get a game there.

? So Villa will sack Lambert, appoint Keane full time, then sack him? I suppose it could happen, although as has been said Lerner is a penny pincher and wouldn't want to pay the compo.

Allardyce. Signed some good players but has been told to get West Ham playing in a style unfamiliar to Him. He's under big pressure to deliver.

£7.5 million for Forster doesn't seem like too much to me, for someone that's been acknowledged as one of England's better keepers, done well for both Norwich and Celtic, and has Champions League Experience all at a good age for a keeper when he has a lot of time left in his career. I approve of this signing, perhaps more so than signing Ruddy. Better than Marshall? Mmm, that's a tougher one.

How many posts before the OPs question is addressed...

I'm going to sleep all through tomorrow and wake up on Thursday. If nothing's happened, I'll have missed the worst of the forum meltdown.

Stoke sign Bojan. One of Barcelona's up and coming youngsters in the mid naughties and now joined the Potters. Still youngish, could be a cracking signing if he settles well.

I doubt there'll be a marquee signing this summer, just good, solid players that add to the team. Mind you if Ramirez, Osvaldo and Lovren were marquee signings, we aren't exactly missing much.

If his wages are what people say they are, we've done well to steer clear of this one. Plus he's far from the finished product. Will learn from Ferdinand. Good signing for them, not much of a problem that we didn't get him.

With the current squad as it is (which it won't be but because we a WILL sign players), and assuming Morgan, Osvaldo and Dejan are gone, this is our best line up. Doesnt look too bad, does it?!?! Granted, centre back could be stronger, and we wouldn't want to rely on Clyne at left back all season (although Azoilicueta did a job for Chelsea on the wrong side) but it could be worse. Weak in squad, but with a fairly strong first XI. Now add the signings, and it becomes: New GK Clyne Fonte New CB New LB Davis Wanyama Cork Ramirez Pelle Tadic. ...which highlights the positions that need sorting.

So we'll drop Fonte just for the lols? Might as well put Gazzaniga in goal too. I somehow how think we'll have brought in an extra centre back by the opening game but even if not we still have Fonte.
