Thanks to undisclosed transfer fees we'll never know.

They got to him first...

Still think the team lacks pace in general. The two pacy players we have are on the bench today. If we do sign one striker, I hope he's a pace player to compliment Lambert. (Of course if we happen to sign two strikers, then a big arse back up player would be good too!)

Morgan'll score a screamer now, you wait.

^^ ^^ O O /\ IIIIIIIII OH WHEN THE SAINTS... Keep the faith.

Dirty Millwall. Hope Hammond tears them a new butthole.

Racist IMO. He's not a very good footballer, but linking him to Clarky's bumhole is terrible! ;-)

Strange one from Pardew - ignores Holmes all season, signs Antonio for the rest of the season and then drops him for the forgotten man! It must be a case of having done his homework and seeing Millwall's weak spot. I'm suprised by him putting all 3 new defenders in, but that was always on the cards so it's explainable. Anywho, I hope we can win this, it's really a must win if you look at the table. Could be 5 points behind Millwall if we win this. Lose and we'll be 11 behind. (I think...) UTS - Wootage and staying positive.

I wouldn't take notice of what another manager of another club says in The Mirror about another transfer. There's not too many of Coventry's players I'd want here anyway tbf. Hardly setting the world alight up there.

You can have mine for £50 and a Yorkie. I'll throw in a penguin calender and a Dime bar.

I'm quite suprised at the result so far of the vote, I didn't think Waigo was so highly rated amongst Saints fans. I'm pleased of course, I like him and he must be doing something right.

I reckon all the players will raise their game tomorrow - they won't want to lose their places to any potential new signings that could come in!

If he wants the longer contract, let him earn it, I reckon. Pericard just signed an 18 month contract at Swindon. If he turns out to be arse after all, they've got him on the wage book for another year. I'm glad we never signed Olivier Bernard on a longer contract tbf as an eg. Looking forward to finding out how he does tomorrow.

No new signings then? Pah. Bart Jon O Fonte Perry Harding Antonio Morgan Hammond Lallana Lambert Connolly is what I think Pardew will play. I'd be very suprised if Pards plays both new CB's.

Who voted for Forecast you FARKING JOKERS! I'd choose Bart, again his form for us recently has been good, not brilliant, but good. He kept the first clean sheet in ages, something Kelvin had failed to do for a while before his injury, and Bart has earned the right to continue, until he makes a hash of it. I think Kelvin is brilliant, but it can't be easy for Bart to play well and then see himself dropped from the first team.

Still undecided. I think he's class, and can score the odd goal too, but I don't think he's been played regularly enough to warrant a full time contract. I'd give him the rest of his loan contract to prove himself and then I would review it in the summer. I think he'd be an asset whichever league we were in, but it all depends on how much it would cost to keep him, and whether there are better options out there in the summer.

The strange thing is, if we'd made the signings in the reverse order, Otsemobor, Seaborne then Fonte, this place would be buzzing with expectation at the next signing. I'm very pleased that an area that needed strengthening has been strengthened. Bring on the rest of the season.

We're more likely to raise George Best from the dead and play him than sign Holt. I've been mightily impressed with Holt, but he is very much a player in the mold of Lambert, a fighter with an eye for goal. I'd rather have Lambo, but had we signed Holt instead I wouldn't've been too disappointed. Jackson would be the better signing for us, a player that can compliment Lambert, and give Connolly that all important rest.

Simeon Jackson would be the "League One Marquee" signing of the window IMO. Fonte was a start, but we'd be getting even more attention from the media if we signed Jackson. Marquee signings aren't the be all and end all, I'd rather see the club act sensibly than to splash out to make us happy (I suppose that'd be the case with Seaborne over Ward*), but I reckon signing Jackson would guarantee us an extra TV game or two before the season is over. And that can only be positive financially. (Ignoring the Sky curse of course...)

I also wouldn't sack him if we get promoted through the play-offs. As long as we go up, which was the aim the Chairman wanted when he appointed Pardew.

Shot in the arse, and who's to blame? You give Liverpool a bad name. Shot in the arse, and who's to blame? You give full backs a bad name. (Perhaps one for the haters) SHot in the arse and who's to blame? You're called "Semi" coz you've half a brain. (See above) Shot in the arse, and who's to blame? At right back til Murty's back in the frame... (effing terrible)

Still need more creativity in the attacking areas, but defensively I think we're all set. Of course we don't know who'll be leaving the club yet, it could be that we need to add to the areas we have good cover in currently...

Aside from the fact that I'd be suprised if there was ONLY one more player brought in, if it WERE only one player brought in, then I would suggest we need a striker. Lambert and Connolly are really the only two experienced strikers we have, and even then Connolly is not guaranteed to play every game. Paterson is not experienced and seems out of favour, although I don't doubt he could do a job if we needed him to. All we have bar those three is Waigo, who tends to play more on the right, and Lallana, who tends to play on the left. We need a new striker, especially with the number of games we have to play this season, and due to the fixture congestion, I would even go so far as to say we need TWO strikers. They don't have to be expensive, we could pay for one and sign someone like Mifsud as the other.

If my ears heard correctly earlier, Sky SPorts were saying that in the top 3 English divisions, only £7 million has been spent on players so far. That makes the Fonte signing look even better, that we can afford players even when others can't. They reckon the lack of money paid out is because of the financial climate, but I think it's simply due to the weather. Snow is an arse. Besides which, still half the month still to go!

Jon, Jon, Show Us Your Arse. Perhaps not...
