Blayney wasn't considered good enough by Wigley who got Keller in in loan. He only made a handful of appearances, why do people think we are going to sign two more first team goalkeepers?

Why? I really don't understand why people think we need or will be buying two keepers. We only had two credible keepers when Bart was here why do we suddenly need an extra one? Last time we were in the premier league we had two decent keepers in Jones and Niemi, don't forget we had to loan Kasey Keller because they were both injured. It's very rare for both keepers to be injured or suspended at the same time and goalkeepers generally get injured, suspended or need a rest less than outfield players anyway. Are we really going to sign a keeper who won't even make the bench most of the time and what sort of keeper do you think we'll get who will settle for that?

So is it a closed shop then? Once 20 are selected they and only they can get cat 1 status everyone else might as well give up.

And how do you propose this will be inforced? The FA won't be able to dictate who a manager picks for their first team. Can you imagine the FA threaten Alex Ferguson and Man United with removing their cat A status if he refuses to pick certain youth players for the first team?

joe Lewis, 2008 the best young keeper in England and a shoe in for England in a couple of years. 2012, dropped by Peterborough and released in a free. On separate note though its fantastic to see us linked with and bidding for players like this, the best young ones in the country, regardless of what we think of the fee. The days of Kamil Kosowski and Ryan Smith seem a long time ago!!

Lose the persecution complex sunshine. I distinctly remember you banging on about what a great future we had as we've done this that and the other and investing in our academy to make us the best out there and how this meant your ambitions of a champions league side made up of academy graduates wasn't just a pipe dream. Now it seems we are just one of a number of clubs with good academies.

I don't disagree with that Jamie. Far more players get ruined by big moves early in their career than go on and flourish. Especially goalkeepers. The last 10 years in littered with promising young keepers who got big moves and it ruined them.

No one is being negative, it's simply that it's not as unique as people were thinking. A year ago we were told we were one of only 3 clubs in line to get it, now it seems there are a lot more.

If £6m isn't considered eye popping we should take our money elsewhere.

It's the hotbed of young talent Jamie. Forget London, Manchester and the north east. All the top players of the future are going to come from Cornwall.

Don't they have satellite academies then and if they don't what is to stop them setting them up?

These cars are driven by helmets. FACT.

I do. He used to live just round the corner from me when we were kids. Came to our school a few times with Danny Wallace who also lived nearby. Unreal really, an England international and top flight player living in a 3 bed house in Midanbury!

*like*

After my slap on the wrists yesterday I will only be posting serious things from now. Football forums are serious buisiness where there is no place for banter and wind ups.

We won't sign two good ones that's for sure. Only the really top clubs have 3 decent keepers. We'll get one, no doubt and a good one but if we sign another one it'll probably be a kid. Remember when we had Niemi and Jones we had to rely on Blayney for a couple of games and we also had to bring Kasey Keller in on loan. You'd have to be very unlucky to have both your decent goal keepers and no keeper worth having is going to come here knowing they might well be third choice and not even make the bench most weeks. we'll sign one good keeper and I think we may have him lined up already.

Lallana does seem to be our only left midfielder so it would make sense if we are looking at someone who can play there. We are quite weak in the wide positions.

I can't be arsed to trawl through pages of your nonsense but you said months ago we were one of only about 4 clubs that would have it. In reality its more a case of keeping up.

12 I think. I've had one two week ban and a couple of short term ones as well as numerous infractions. I am the bad boy of Internet mong boards. I like the Joey Barton of Saints web tag* it feels like a badge of honour. * can I add I dont have any relatives to have murdered anyone to my knowledge nor have I ever stubbed out a cigar in a collegues eye. I do like the Smiths though.

You are like the Austin Powers of internet mong boards.

Let's get Alan McGregor as well then.

/\ does this mean we can get any of them for nowt or do we still have to pay a fee?

You have to remember to a lot of people the Internet is serious business. Only the other day I was told by a mod via PM that because I didn't think we were on an unstoppable march to the champions league like some posters I was stamping on people's dreams.

Another pointless post. mods, are you watching?

Another pointless post. mods, take note and issue infraction. I think this is abuse of another member so 3-6 points as well.
