Or...

Flog him and buy someone else with the cash.

A week in, makes a change not to be linked with tons of players or ours all linked with moves away in the press. Kinda boring isn't it ;-)

Bit of respect to Ipswich I imagine. Maybe a couple more changes if playing a lower ranked team. Don't want another Sheff utd defeat do we!

I'm just surprised after Koeman stating another forward is an option that all the papers haven't starred linking every Tom, **** and Harry with us!

We already have the current england right back and the current belguim one as backup. Think we are fine for a right back.

May only be the daily star but they reckon we are signing the latest "wonderkid" http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/417731/Arsenal-Liverpool-Man-Utd-Martin-Odegaard-make-SHOCK-transfer-decision

I can see a struggling premier league team taking a gamble on him in the hope he scores enough to keep them up. hull perhaps. If we were spending £12m on a forward id rather go abroad and get someone. Much better value for money.

Forster Fonte Aldeweireld Yoshida Targett Clyne Morgan Victor JWP Long Pelle

Big test for Matt T replacing Ryan at left back

Only benefit is he could then play vs chelsea

Did we play a flat Central midfield 3 of JWP, Reed and Davis? Or did one sit or one more advanced?

Need a backup centre forward, an option to play just off Pelle too. Mane should be an option off the bench. Pelle / tadic / Jay royd + another Davis / cork / morgan and big vic are fine for centre pairing.

For every Mane we find a Tadic. We can't just buy proven quality like Di Maria or Sanchez, we have to take gambles on players like Mane. Some come off and some don't

Unfortunately not. On the whole, should have got something from Villa Arsenal and Man U, but alas we didn't. I'd have taken 5th after 15 games at start of the season!

Bounce back at Burnley. Need our players and Jay Rod back. Davis and Big Vic played well tonight but supporting 3 to Pelle were poor.

The earliest of anything that is left please

Not sure i like the use of Pavilion though? Makes me think of cricket.

His team selection was a family decision rather than just his.

I will point out it is favourite XI and not best XI. Can't leave Le Tiss out though can you. He did want to put Guly on the bench ;-)

For our website i managed to get Tiff Needell to pick his favourite saints XI - http://www.the93rdminute.co.uk/favourite-xi.html He said he has only been following saints for the past 10 years since he moved into the area, hence why it's a very recent selection. Was tricky to get it into a formation too!

We are looking for someone who was at the game to write a little blog for our website (93rdminute.co.uk) just summing up the day, the performance, the result etc.. If anyone is interested please can they let us know http://www.the93rdminute.co.uk/contact-us.html Full credit is given to the author.

We are running a poll on who fans think should be the winners here: http://www.the93rdminute.co.uk/polls.html IMHO - Koeman and Di Maria.

Thanks, it was all done over email so didnt meet him personally but was plenty of chatter in email. Top man! We have Mark Crossley and Chris Perry lined up next. Wonder if Crossley is proud of that save?
