Crab Lungs

He can definitely play in the Prem, that's for sure. He has something a lot of English PL players don't have... Technical ability.

We'll likely get to see him in the Cups this year, which is good

Fulham are more attractive to the outsider, but we are a bigger and will be better marketed club if he decides to see first hand. money wise, who knows what Fulham are willing to pay but if this new guy is as rich and ambitious as reported then we might have a battle. He will have plenty of Spanish/Portuguese speaking support here but then again, in London, he will be in a better city surrounded by many more Spanish speaking footballers.. would probably be better for his modelling, too. It's dead heat to a foreign footballer, though I'd imagine he would know of Fulham more than he'd know of Saints. NC hasn't given up on him though. This will run.

Alex Crook called me a **** last night on Twitter. Probably the closest he's been to being correct about something all summer

My mind wandered to Fritzl when they started showing all those U16's...

For me, no. He's ok. He's alright. If ever there was an exampled of someone being overrated, its him. Sure he's powerful and he's got a presence but for me, he's a rung, possibly two below van Persie, Lewandowski etc.

No biggie, a full back's a fullback!

I really, really hate him. He's such a pr1ck.

He's got dual-nationality so WP won't be a problem, no idea about why it fell through though?!?

That's him.

Still trying for Osvaldo.

I won't believe it until Alex Crook says it.

He'd be brilliant, wouldn't he? Shouldn't have any work permit problems either...

Nah, serious, he's definitely a right-back - and an awesome one at that.

Gino Peruzzi, the guy Sunderland just missed out on... apparently something wrong in his medical...

I hope it's Peruzzi.

Hope you and your kids enjoy watching the Saints, alpine

If it were at all possible, would you welcome Wayne Rooney? Hypothetical question obviously

Not yet, he was being typically rubbish versus Rubin Kazan today.

I'd disagree, he revels in correcting people for the smallest factual mistake and will never concede he's wrong, even when he blatantly is. Or better still, has a serious problem with accepting people with differing opinions.

I didn't realise MLG was so well-versed on the Spanish lower divisions. Is there really anything he doesn't know?

I guarantee you there at least 1-2 more

It won't be long before the Daily Echo nick this....
