lol @ all the spin on here. Direct quotes people, these are the words of someone who wants to go. “It has been fantastic helping them to get promoted. But now I feel I’m ready to play in the Premier League.” Name me one player apart from MLT who has turned down the chance to play at a top club. Depsite what we all think that he might be better off playing regularly here etc etc, what player isn't going to turn down the chance of playing for a top 4 club. We should let him go, get the best deal possible and spend it on a decent replacement. People need to get their head out of the sand, it doesn't matter what we think he should do, him and his old man will decide. It appears they have both decided he is off to Arsenal. Now Nicola, take as much money as we can get and spend a fair whack of it on a decent young replacement.

Hopefully there will be another Echo article with the sad faces of loyal fans who had queued through the night only to be disapointed.

i would f*cking p*ss myself if this is true.

Some of you seem to forget as good as Lallana was in L1 he is unproven in the championship, last time round he looked lightweight and not up to it. He still has a lot to prove as this level. When it mattered at the business end of last season, we were a better side without Chamberlain. As we know the best players dont always make the best teams, Chamberlain needs to work hard and win his place back as at the moment we should be sticking with the team which proved itself the last 14 games of last season. On the other hand we have already been told by many on here Guly will excel this season and will get more time on the ball, based on this he is a shoe in as he was at times, marvelous last season. On the left Dickson has the pace many have been asking for and his crossing is excellent as he showed last season, he would be the ideal person to feed Lambert.

This midfield is class IMO.dean is the DM we have and our captain and leader, he has a big role to play this season. Chaplow is the only CM we have capable of breaking forward and he has a better engine than JC and MS. Outwide Guly is a bit of an enigma but likely to pop up with A goal from that position, like he did away at Daggenham. Dickson is quality he crossing is world class, look the one for Lamberts header away at Orient. People over rate chamberlain, don't forget our best form last season came when he was injured.

Does anyone know if we've sold out yet? We must be close.

Guly Chaplow Hammond Dickson

Good, good. We have someone on hand to go to the bar for us whilst you bite at the other 5% of things i say xxx

They are,

Why? DId they want to sign Jack Colback?

So abusive. If you dont like it put me on ignore, either that or go an bosh one out and get that frustration out of your systems. It really is very simple.

Did he ever actually join us? I remember an article about it two or three months ago in some foreign paper but cant remember anything from the club. He isn't listed on club staff list on the OS either.

An orphan actually, who sits on his own at football matches.

Okay then, if that is what i am that is what i am, think what you like.

I've not mentioned Wesley Sneijder before. I didn't realise he was a realistic signing until the mail said about his bird wanting to be an English speaking TV presenter. We hold all the aces on this deal fellow posters.

Do your boring posts never cease? They aren't even remotely interesting.

Wesley Sneijder seems to be stalling on his move to man United, rumour is he has another offer on the table from an unnamed English club. According to the Mail today his wife holds the key to the club he choses. She wants to get into English language TV presenting and we'd be the ideal club for this with Meridian studios in Whiteley, plus we all know how good the shopping in West Quay. I think she'd be very happy in Southampton and Wes has every reason to join us. Sounds like it's ours to lose.

I'm with Jamie on Rhodes and can't believe I forgot him an excellent striker who is young and talented.

If only we'd signed Antonio.

And people like you are the reason i dont bother anymore, the know it all posters such as yourself, this post being a classic example. A post assuming i have never seen any of these players play and just plucked a few names out of the air by looking at Arsenal and Chelsea squad. Jumping into a discussion with their arrogant and patronising i know it all attitude. Chez asked who are in the boundaries of the sort of player we should be looking at, i answered. Regardless of if they are non starters as per your comment re Sharpe and Maynard, turning 30 this season or eyeing a move to the premier league. These are the level and type of player we should be looking at. Not premier league players and England internationals or championship reserve team players. Want to tell us who you think we should be interested in so we can rip your potential signings apart?

Because the planks on here with their endless sh*t drive me nuts

Jack Cork was on my wish list earlier this summer. He is the sort of player we should be looking at young and hungry. Lucas Jutkeiwicz would be worth a look. Other players i'd be interested in if i was Nige are Alex Smithies & Joe Lewis in goal. Peter Clarke from Huddersfield at the back, although this would depend on the progress of Martin and the legs of Jaidi, a loan might be better (see below) Sharp and Maynard are two strikers i'd be interested in and it seems we are although how much mileage are in these we dont know. I'd also like to see us look at good young players on loan, from Arsenal Lansbury would be a good option to have, Frimpong and Craig Eastmond are good players who we may get on loan. From Chelsea Patrick van Aanholt & Jeffrey Bruma, both on loan at Leciester last season and dutch u21 players. Either would be a good option at the back if it's a season too far for Jaidi. A lot depends for us this season on the legs & fitness of Connolly & Jaidi. Only they and Nige know how their bodies and how well they'll hold up. Therefore it might be next season before we push the boat out to replace them. All players that are realistic and would improve the team and squad. I dont think we need major surgery, just prehaps a couple of quality additions, be that permenants or loans. As i say, i am leaning towards a couple of season long loans and see where Jaidi and Conolly take us, if they stay fit they are already top half Championship players. Certainly no room in my squad for Reading reserves that had a couple of good games for us against midtable league one sides.

Correct, check the above posts, all the reasons to sign him are direct reasons given by other posters on here, utter nonsense. The "despite" reasons are facts.

I am afraid on this forum if you dont toe the party line or conform to the popular view then you are ostracisted. Look at the abuse i am getting at the moment on the main board for not understanding why people are on hold for 90 minutes and queuing for 3 hours for something that will still be on sale 3 weeks time and for challenging people on the reasons why we should resign Antonio. This forum is great as long as you dont speak out against or dare to question the clueless majority.

I've just had a look at that online application. One of the application questions was something along the lines of "are you a drug trafficer or coming into the country to commit criminal or immoral acts?" F*cking lol!!! It seems you're alright as long as you haven't been sentanced to over five years in the nic or have been done for serious crimes such as drugs, rape, murder, manslaughter, being a peado or fraud related things.
