If only we had guessed that they wouldn't be fit for one game during the summer and signed suitable back up...... But wait, what if they get injured too??? We need back up incase the back up becomes injured.

What i am struggling to understand is who this season long injury you said we had is, this is how this discussion between us started, is it not? So who is it? Do tell.

That would work for us, 5 across the middle with him top alone, provided all of the five midfielders and Barnard aren't injured of course, as we haven't signed back up incase the whole squad is injured.

Mental. so what point are you trying to make when you said if Drogba etc gets injured Chelsea etc would spend big for a replacement and we should do that now, in case Lambert gets injured? What point are you making when saying we dont have strengh in depth because we haven't spent big incase Lambert gets injured? This amazing strength in depth all this big clubs have is listed in my post above. None of the players are as good as considered first choice in that position, yet these clubs are not signing superstars incase players get injured, so why would we? Anyway, who is this player that is out for the season? You still haven't told me.

I agree, we have 3 very, very, very good strikers for this division and we should be able to adapt tactics as these two should be good enough for the L1 defences, Barnard proved that at Southend and Connolly is a class act here. Its Pardews job to come up with a plan B if RL is not available.

Any news on this player that is out for the season yet? Or is it still not worth discussing stuff with me? You keep banging on about strength in depth and how these massive clubs have superstars sitting around doing nothing in case injuries happen, but lets look at these big clubs squad players - is Ngog as good as Torres? Is Bentedner as good as Van Persie? Is Kalou as good as Drogba? Is Macheda as good as Rooney? I bet there isn't a div on 'Kop Talk' berating Benitez/Hodgson/the yanks for not signing David Villa as cover for Torres just in case he gets another injury. Get real you div.

who has had a season ending injury? Or did i imagine reading this this morning? Minus Frazer Richardson obviously... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/8337242.Saints_set_to_be_at_full_strength_for_Orient_visit/ So who is this mystery season long injury victim? or are you proving again there isn't much point discussing these matters with you?

Has this happened to one of ours then?

Spot on mate, people banging on about quality back up for Lambert and Schniderlin but these guys are two of our 5 key players. Chelsea without Drogba and Lampard, Arsenal without Fabregas and Van Perise, Liverpool with no Gerrard and Torres, all significantly weaker, i bet the Man Utd forums are not rife with people whinging that their back up striker to Rooney is not as good. Like you say, i'd welcome 2 or 3 new signings, but we already should have enough to win this league.

They said during the Man City game on saturday that he was set to join Notts Forest on loan last year when he was out of the picture. I can see that being more likely.

I'm dubious, his comments of f*cking morons, cannon fodder, privates being 'nailed' in afghan and thick and generally just being totally disrepectful seem to more than just a game of 'squaddie baiting' i think it might be more the fact that no one agreed and he made himself look a total c*nt rather than changing his stongly held views overnight.

I agree he'd be an excellent signing. What about Ronaldo? He isn't the player he once was and is now at Corinthians. Surely he'd love to finish his career (in the third tier) of a top European league. Whilst on the subjects of Brazilians, Kaka hasn't settled at Real, he is the right age to go on the full journey to the premier league with is.

In that case the courts have just sent out a message that it is okay to look at child porn.

My thoughts exactly, no one is saying there should be no punishment, but a fine, community services, maybe even just a three year football ban with the threat of something more severe if caught again would suffice. Most of these guys weren't know to the police as troublemakers, what it is is a good story for the echo, who absolutely loved it, headline news on 6 occasions now i believe and a few easy nickings and a bit redemptin for the police who IMO created a situation where this could have happened by letting both sets of fans out at the same time.

They couldn't all the pubs were shut. In anycase regardless of what they should have done, do you agree or not, that jail for shaking a fence and shouting is ridiculous? Particularly in consideration that the child porn guy was spared jail due to the effect on his business and the guy here was not.

Stephen Jordan, 49, of the same address, who pushed and pulled at the fencing, told police it seemed the good opportunity for “a toe to toe” fight. It was feared his business, which employed 14 people, would go under with a prison sentence. Michael Byles, 24, of Aldermoor Road, Southampton, handed himself after seeing his picture in the Daily Echo. He had been filmed grabbing the fence and shouting aggressively From the echo website, two jailed for grabbing or shaking a fence. One of which has a business, unlike the child porn businessman he was not spared jail due to this though. Although to be fair i would probably jail someone for 'folding a brick' they must be as strong as Sansom.

This, anyone who puts their life on the line for other deserves respect and a few concessions is a worthy token to them. The ones on here that seem to be against it are the snobby, usual suspects who seem to take delight at sneering at anyone they consider a lesser being with them. On this thread alone describing soilders as f*cking morons, thick and only joining up to play with guns. Even saying every country needs cannon fodder, what a shame we dont have compulsary national service anymore, i'd love to see people like this tell their commanding officers just what a f*cking moron they are.

Nottingham Forest did quite well last season with a few loan players and i believe they have loans this season also.

the bloke is a legend, not just a great player but a great bloke too, sport needs people like him.

Thomas Pekhart was an awsome signing.

they wont now you've posted that on here now will they you pikey.

Because some of them are mental. You personally didn't say we can sign anyone we want but a couple of other people on other threads have said we can sign anyone we want and if we are serious about promotion we should pay them as much as we can. As for your comment about Beattie loving the club and the area he didn't think twice about leaving both when Everton waved £40k a week under his nose did he. Connolly didn't leave SUnderland for us, he was released by Sunderland and was a free agent, big difference. That is the only way we would ever get a player of this calibre. We are a league one club and if anyone thinks proven premier league players would turn down offers from other Premier League or even most Championship clubs to play in league one, then they are deluded. Saints fans or not, i'd tell my brother or dad they are mental if they suggested it too.

This, but you forgot the 'we should sign xxxxx' and 'why haven't we signed 20 players this summer?' threads.

but you are not being offered that, you are being offered to play for Rangers.

Oh right, thanks, i just though like a lot of people on here all top players didn't care what level they played at and we can sign anyone we want.
