Couple of hrs? don't know what tests they do but you might then have to wait for the results of them too.

Wasn't much on there. Think it was from the LMA thing last night. NA kept referring to AOC as a young boy. Just said that he has handled the speculation well, mentioned the fact he has spoken to the nationals in the last couple of days. Says he is best to continue his development at Saints.

Thanks, just logged in to Sky Go and gonna watch it via the net :-)

Didn't really have much of an impact last season. I remember many championship bosses holding back expecting to pick up players after this and i think it was only Michael Kightly who didn't make the squad. Nobody else noticable was omitted from their teams 25.

After the release of the squad numbers I think it's clear the number 5 shirt has been left for a new centre back signing. The question is who..... Personally I haven't a clue. Think we need a powerhouse type rather than a playing centre back.

Who has changed numbers this season apart from Dickson and AOC?

Surely the clever thing would be to get his replacement in first...

Huddersfield's Roberts has rejected a new 2yr deal. I know he was linked with us, if that was true might be a step closer as he is now in the last year of his contract.

One thing is for sure, there will be people who love it and people that will hate it. Those who hate it will be more vocal on here than those who love it.

But history has shown we can't rely on him staying fit.

As it Neil Mellor.

According to Sky Sports, Matt Oakley is in talks with Derby about a return. Would love to have had him back at Saints, but i guess not needed now we have Cork.

Quick career comparison, goals in brackets. Beattie 1995–1998 Blackburn Rovers 4 (0) 1998–2005 Southampton 204 (68.) 1 in 3 2005–2007 Everton 76 (13) 1 in 5.8 2007–2009 Sheffield United 62 (34) 1 in 1.823 2009–2010 Stoke City 38 (9) 1 in 4.2 2010– Rangers 7 (0) 2011 → Blackpool (loan) 9 (0) vs Mellor 2002–2006 Liverpool 22 (6) 1 in 3.6 2003–2004 → West Ham United (loan) 16 (2) 1 in 8 2006 → Wigan Athletic (loan) 3 (1) 1 in 3 2006– Preston North End 113 (30) 1 in 3.7 2010–2011 → Sheffield Wednesday (loan) 33 (13) 1 in 2.5

If it was a choice between Beattie or Mellor, i'd take Beats anytime.

Who is the player in photo 15 on the latest set of pics on the website?

"Southampton are a big club and had the deal been right then I would have negotiated with them but it wasn't." So he didn't speak to us, assuming it was just the agent we spoke to. Obviously tried his luck for a high wage or/and contract and we backed down. Sounds like that piece was a please offer again and I'll reduce my demands.

I personally think the graphics on the OS with the white background with stripes down then middle and the black background with stripes down the milddle will be how our home and away kit look.

Bristol City might be having a change of heart if Maynard decides he wants to leave and wont be signing a new contract next season. They must be pretty sure he will sign a new extension to his contract otherwise they are playing a dangerous game.

Wonder what they are paying in wages for him too. Leicester are really throwing money at going up this season aren't they. They can't be far off buying a whole new team now, they have replaced all their back 4 and keeper now.

Why are they all wearing bras? and on the outside of their clothes too!

Well you could just post it on here, or PM me and i'll post it as a new thread.

Anyone spot AOC in picture?!?

A sign of how good a player u sign is by the reaction from the fans for whom he used to play for. Burnley are gutted and have nothing but praise for Cork.

Could we play a 5 man midfield? Hammond Morgan Cork in the middle with Adam and AOC out wide?

Chelsea havent even bothered to announce his departure on their site yet
