I had a look in a tranny window once. What I saw was far from superb.

Pleased. He's class and will continue to prove it, but unlike Walcott in '06, he needs to play. Good addition. Pleased for Ruddy too, he's had a good season. Weakest position? Attack.

In the Metro we're being linked to HArry Kane, currently of Spurs but on loan at Millwall. I think people that saw him was saying he's good. Any info?

Actually we shouldn't sign Jordan Rhodes because the last Jordan R......... we had playing for us was bad driver. FACT.

He's a good age and still learning the game. He'd be a brilliant signing for us because not only do I think he'd score a few in the Premiership, he'd be brilliant in the Championship if we dropped back down. (I hate thinking like that but I'm sure even Adkins and Cortese have contingency plans in place.)

Jordan Rhodes AGAIN scores tonight. 40 goals for the season is fantastic, Huddersfield will go up this season IMO but I'd be surprised if he was there next season.

They didn't care he'd gone, and we love him. Some players fit some clubs better than others and Jos is a fit for this club.

Bump. Any more guesses? Fan The Flames - you have 3 days left to hope you're right!

The only thing you could say about him is that it has been a long hard season and perhaps he'll be knackered, but my God does he have an eye for goal right now. Portugal aren't a bad team either really, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't one of the top 4. Pogrebniak and Jelavic have been superb this year for their domestic clubs since signing - it makes you wonder whether they'll be on a high for the Euros. Good each way shout, if so.

Tomas Pekhart 150/1 LOL

Cristiano Ronaldo for 14/1? I'm having a ton on that thanks.

Chris Lane. ('Tis my name, that's why!)

Damn, I set a reminder on my phone to start this thread today! I'd love to have gone. Poor Matt, a year later we're in the FA Cup final. Who'da thunk it.

The site got more hits when I got my first smart phone...

Didn't Butterfield recently get a new deal? Perhaps Adkins sees another year out of him as back up until Stephens is ready to come in. As for Hammond, I'd actually be very surprised if he left. We need some modicum of consistancy and while we don't think Hammond is Premier League quality, he shows fighting skills and has been our captain for three seasons so Adkins could see him as a decent back up player. Norwich kept Lappin for instance, who's not Premier League quality, and Swansea kept Tate and Monk which people would perhaps have thought were not Premier League quality. If we go up and get relegated after one season, we'd potentially lose the Lallanas and Morgans of the world too, and Hammond would become invaluable to us. The Kraken's list is about right, with question marks over Harding perhaps.

Or the nervousness of being the only promoted club in two seasons to have been relegated... The only Southern team I care about is Southampton. West Ham can do one. Come on Blackpool.

Care to paraphrase? I only read The Pink at Winchester services on the way to home games, and even then I don't pay for it.

Ours. If what happened to City happened to us, I'd be running around St Marys going mental and grabbing ladies' bewbs in celebration.

Lallana voted POTS with 23 goals from midfield, Lambert with 35 goals for the season and 6 caps to his name, and Guly getting goal of the season with a reverse chip over David De Gea in our 4-1 demolition of Man Utd at Old Trafford. Funnily enough you'd think one of those players would be Southampton fans' POTS, but summer signing Jonny Evans from Manchester United is an ever present rock in the heart of defence.

Unfreakingbelievable. And to top it all off, Bolton would've stayed up if they'd held on to their lead. Can you imagine the City fans celebrating and the QPR fans gutted though? Harsh. Wonderful finish to a season I've not been paying attention to until I knew we'd be in it next season!!!

Bolton every day of the week, and they're doing their bit by winning. Bloody QPR winning though too, but if there's one team you don't want to be holding on to a lead against when down to ten men, it's Man City. Not over yet...

There's a hole in your defence, Dear Nigel Dear Nigel, There's a hole in your defence, dear Nigel a hole. Oh, this isn't the "chants I hope we NEVER sing" thread?

Barton, while a half decent player, was a massive tempramental risk, Wright-Phillips is massively overrated - his talent is based on pace, which he'll lose quickly in his early thirties. Young is past it and Ferdinand is not brilliant either. Add to that Zamora, Cisse and Taiwo and you've got a wage bill that will eventually cripple you. Especially if they go down tomorrow, which unlikely, I hope happens.

I agree with others, Defoe is a class act and perhaps Englands second best striker. It doesn't surprise me he finds himself out in the cold with Redknapp as his manager though. Whoever he goes to will have a good player. I'd rather we sign good players than names though. The Norwich style of signings over QPR's anytime please.
