We screwed our big players around so much last year i'm suprised any of them are actually still here. Sucks to lose John, he's a good striker. Who's next?!

All games are must wins, realistically. Our first sight should be set on avoiding relegation. The sooner that happens, the more we'll all sleep better in our beds.

I think I'd rather keep Rasiak over Stern IMHO, but both would be exceptional in this league. (I'd include Saga in that too). I'd be gutted if John went, but he's already said he's willing to stay, so perhaps if the contract AP is offering him is good enough, he will. With players like Saga, Rasiak, John and Morgan, it's a case of trying to persuade them that we are building for the future here. Fingers crossed AP can keep one, two or even all of them!

The man that makes tumbleweeds is going to have a hell of a job on his hands...

On the flip side, Arsenal clearly seem bored with being in the top-4 after selling two of their best players. Either Wenger has replacements lined up, or he has super, maybe crazy, potetially suicidal faith in his young guns.

w00T St Mary's to host Scrabble competition.

Sod signings per se, I'd be happy to see a few Trialists. If there are so many frees out there, we don't have to jump the gun and contract them, just bring them in and see how they get on, then decide whether to sign them. We've seen from trialing Murty that he can do a job for us, It'd calm my nerves just to see a couple of new faces about, ours or not. :-D

We all know there will be signings by next Saturday, it's just a case of when! Literally every second that goes by grates on the conscience! SSN is being overworked in my house!

I think the two vaginas and three boobs on girls from that part of the world is what swung it for me! Of course, at least us and them will still meet this season, and i had someone to share my grief during relegation!

Well my missus is a Norwich girl and fan, so i might've sided with them, but most of my mates support Arsenal, so it could've been them. So, so glad Saints were saved, that's all i can say!

None of us know what a player will bring to the club. Nobody thought Strachan would be a good manager when we got him for instance. Chris Marsden- massive shock. That said if a player is on a free, surely for the loss of wages he's worth a punt? Lita, Bennett, Sodje and more are all still on free's, and if you can judge from their careers so far, all are proven in their positions. 98 per cent of the users of this forum would be crap managers, me more than most, and thus i'm happy to accept AP's judgement!

Still illegal! (although i may've done it once or twice...)

I'm weeing my pants with anticipation of our next signing.

I'm hoping for signings too. I'm back to work tomorrow and hope me being glued to SSN today is rewarded! Also, i was speaking to my girlfriend, a Norwich fan, yesterday about Leroy Lita and she was saying that when Norwich signed him, he was a natural goalscorer, and someone they needed permanently. Yes he's courted controversy throughout his career, but it sounds like we should be busting a ball to get him in if possible. Speculative? Well we need to be signing CCC quality players to get out of this league.

Was it 7 million we got for him from Liverpool? At the time i thought we mugged them, but in terms of potential it was a good deal for both sides! We always seen to mug teams! Just look at Kenwyne Jones. And we got Stern John in part exchange.

Rasiak out. He's guff. John's better. He's all we need.

I agree with the OP. Having seen some of the frees that were available, time was of the essence. Still, there are others capable of doing a job still.

ok ok using Saints web on my phone proves a problem!

damn, i thought we were going to sign Becks in true Keegan-esque style.

We've signed plenty of chuff for money before! Granted you can get a gem for a mill, but gems can be free too. Perhaps AP is saving his money for next summer.

If i were offered a choice between Leroy Lita on a free or paying a million quid for someone crap i know who i'd choose. There are good frees out there for League One.

damn, i thought we were going to sign Becks in true Keegan-esque style.

I'm fat.

I always preferred the manager games when they were simpler. CM96-97 effectively ruined my schoolyears, education, and chances of getting a good job!! In fact, i was playing it still up until recently! I have football manger 09 but tend to play the 07 version as my girlfriend's computer is old!

It almost feels like Inter have cheated on Football Manager by adding another manager, taking over Barca, then stealing their money!
