Yes, I'd take him, if he's fit enough, and even if he's not, Adkins is the man to get you fit. The wages must be right too, but as a free transfer, there's less risk involved. I don't think he's Adkins's style though, so I don't see it happening.

This question would be better answered on Friday at 5pm when we know what the Premiership 25 man squads are, but while Simeon Jackson would be the best shout, I expect he'll make their 25. Delfouneso is supposed to have loads of talent too. We do need a striker though, especially if we can get a young one "with a view to a permanent" if they're successful. Connolly is doing well, and even though his injury problems seem behind him, he's 34 and I wonder if he'll get through a season. Barnard faces an uncertain future too in the court, so a lot of pressure is heaped on Lambert's shoulders. Would I take Beatts on a free? Yes, if the wages were right, but I still think he'll get a quick deal to Swansea or somewhere at the bottom of the Premiership. Blackburn again perhaps. EDIT: The other Norwich striker that I don't think will make the 25 is Chris Martin, another who could definitely DAJFU.

This is a good signing. It's low risk, it hasn't cost us a transfer fee, and it fits the criteria we needed and that most people wanted - a big, strong, left footed centre back. Yes we were waiting for the marquee signing that never arrived, even I though we'd get one although you could consider Cork a pretty big signing at this level, and a striker, but now we can see how the current squad fares until January, then spend in the areas we need to strengthen. Yes there's an air of disappointment, we were all expecting a bit more, but I'm glad the club didn't start throwing money around at any old player. It's a game of chess, tactically seeing our rivals strengths and weaknesses before check mating them in January. Leicester, it seems, have gone **** or bust. A tactic to appease the fans but that could ruin the club if they don't achieve promotion. Remember, we're still new at this level, we've started well and expectations are high, but we already have a very good team. Remember also that the Premier Leagues 25 man squads have to be finalised by Friday, so the loan window will be rich pickings. On a personal level, I'm content with our summer dealings, the only position I still think we're short in is a striker, but it's not like we don't have 3 good'uns already. We have more allure than most other clubs for loans too, so we're not completely cut off from new recruits.

Di Canio only signed Clarke last week. Lolage.

4 mins added on. Hope this doesn't go to extra time, I have to go to bed. (For work, up at 4. I'm not 12 years old. :-) lolzzz)

All of a sudden we sound like we're playing like amateurs. Pull it together lads. A win's a win, whatever competition it's in.

Great save BArt

Doesn't look like the young'uns will be seeing much game time, if any, with the score precariously positioned. Come on Saints, finish it. Bmuff now 4-1 up.

1-2. I had 2-0 in my heart, but I had 3-2 Saints in the prediction league. That would make for an interesting finish.

Do you have a homosexual coat?

No, I'm a Saints fan! (It's taken me about 15 minutes to write this!) One more should do it. Blood the youngsters!

Saints Player starting to cut out for me too. Only lasted about five minutes before it's back to normal. Might be my mobile broadband though, the walls of my cottage are very thick.

Lovely slow OWTS

Swindon giving it some this half thus far. I'd like to see Morgan crack one out.

Yowzers, Saints players idents are much louder than the commentary. I remember when I had functioning eardrums.

I thought that too. Turned my laptop volume right up, it's still quiet. Richardson off? Fonte on by the sounds of it.

Seaborne, headed hattrick.

2-0 Forte. Cricket score springs to mind.

Spent 20 minutes wondering why I couldn't hear the SaintsPlayer commentary until I realised I had the headphones in the wrong socket. Fail.

It will broken by August 31st, 2012 IMO, unless something disastrous happens financially. (i.e. Liebherrs pull out...)

I think he has goals in him, but I still view him more as a winger. Guly, in my mind also, is an attacking midfielder too. We need one more out and out striker.

I'd mention that the team out there highlights the need for a striker, but hey, we all know it already. COME ON YOU SAINTS!

Birmingham may take one look at their finances and drop the asking price anyway. He's got to be on Premiership wages, and hey'd have him for another six months if they don't sell him tomorrow. Mind you they just rejected a transfer request from Liam Ridgewell, so who knows. Today's been quieter than I thought, tomorrow will be very exciting.

Got Martin and Forte trying out new positions I see!

Anything that annoys Man U fans is alright by me. Thought he'd try his luck at a lesser club though, such was his wont to play and saying he'd play 40 games a season. This seems like he's after one last pay day to me. Good player, but he's not going to be first choice.
