I understand your point, but that's not to say we won't be signing someone that's being touted on here - the HCDAJFU list alone would rule us out of pretty much every transfer going! Pardew could sign someone that has been mentioned on here, but it won't be through ITKers, it'll through sheer guess work that his name were mentioned. Had someone said Richardson on the HCDAJFU list this summer, and not two years ago like I did, I doubt the plug would've been pulled. Stock may very well be the next signing, but given Pardew's signing record since joining, I don't doubt him in the slightest to pull the rabbit from the hat and bring in some we could only dream about...

I take back my earlier comment about "knobbing pretty much anything"...

Now we're coming to the end of the tournament I thought it about time we resurrected this thread. To be honest there are some shocking predictions on here, but I'm really quite proud of how patriotic, or perhaps optimistic, some of you were before the tournament kicked off! Goin by my predictions above, I was spot on with France, although Italy sort of stole their thunder, and spot on with England's exit. Saints will win the league next season - let's see whether I'm better with domestic predictions than World ones.

Wayne Thomas was my initial thought too!

My standards are so low, I'd knob pretty much anything. Which is just as well because my girlfriend's mum is not in the least bit attractive. Although she does have bigger knockers than her daughter, I live in hope...

I take Wiki as gospel. You learn something every day. I will nickname him Kevin, after the last Richardson to play for us.

True dat. Although I don't think he ever played for them in the Premiership as Gary Kelly was in the way.

Wayyyyyyy too much information. "Charlton player sales turn aintforever on". ;-) On a serious point, the Charlton fans don't think they have many assets left - weakening our promotion rivals is a good move, they signed Gary Docherty today though who is good at this level though, so it's not like they'll be out of the picture.

We need no subs, our first XI will play all 46 league games and cup games. (Yep, forgot it was 7 subs, I'm in the middle of playing CM4)

Davis Richardson Fonte Jaidi Harding Lallana Punch Hammond Morgan Dicko Lambert Suds: Bart, Seaborne, Wotton, new signing, Barnard Assuming we, err, don't lose anyone....cough cough...

I naturally assumed they would all be women. Why would we want to watch a bunch of men jumping all over the pitch wearing skimpy shorts and sweating? Oh.

I must say kudos to the Echo. In lieu of my phone not getting SWF, I use the Echo's mobile site to keep up to date with the latest things Saints, and that's how I found out. Granted they probably got it from the OS, but useful nonetheless.

Oh absolutely, over 18's only, the less clothing the better. (Just a red sash and some pom poms may be taking it too far though.)

An unbeaten pre-season would spell a good start to the season IMO. An unbeaten season would be immense. If Arsenal can do it...

...I had to wait approximately 5 hours! I now know that Cortese reads this board, and as a result am requesting cheerleaders at games please Nicola.

His contract was up next summer and they can't afford to let him go on a free next summer.

Anthony Pulis's middle name is Zoe. This may not be a fact.

Shh, if Cortese reads this board he'll take that as gospel!

I would sell my sister to be back in the Premiership - if £3 is worth it in the long run then so be it. I could **** and moan about it all I like, but the "tax" is there and it's not going away, so I'm living with it.

They do sound utterly peed off. I remember all those times in the noughties when we were selling our best players - it wasn't a great feeling. It's so nice to have the shoe on the other foot, but I do sympathise with them a touch. I notice they fancy signing Jackson - I expect most of the top teams in League One and the whole of the nPC will fancy signing him tbf...

YES YES YES! I suggested Frazer as a HCDAJFU signing a couple of seasons ago when he was at Leeds - 2 years late for my wish list, but still happy! Bags of experience at this level and was the Leeds captain. A very good signing, I'd be interested to know how much we paid, but I guess that could come out in the future. Only today on the other thread I said I'd be happy when we sign a right back, and I am. Harding as back up? Or more to come? This has whet our appetite for more now!

Sweet. Good news if he can stay fit. I still think we need one more striker, and I still think we should continue the policy of signing our rival's best players. Thus I'm going to hold my breath until Pards signs Jordan Rhodes. >

Yes please - has a record in the lower leagues. Shyte. AND they have Max Gradel who is a very similar player. I'd rather have Antonio but would this free Gradel up for a transfer/loan? I would take Aliadiere if he wouldn't be on silly money, but methinks he would be. So no ta.

Keep him as fit as possible, and this could be our (re-)signing of the summer! No signings since Dickson - I reckon NC and AP were waiting with knowledge for Cardiff to be hit with their transfer embargo before stealing a couple of their assets! I'm still not concerned about the lack of signings, although I will be mightily relieved when we bring in a recognised right back. Yes we need cover at CM and in attack, but as long as that one right back comes in, I won't be too concerned, although the lack of pace in the team still worries me a tad. In two weeks, if we haven't signed anyone, I'll jump on the Alpine bandwagon.

Bearing in mind he left us 5 years ago, and was a shower of shyte, I don't think he has any claim to the shirt. I would give it to Barnard. :-)
