Saint Charlie

Corriere Dello Sport today says Astori is one of a number of targets Milan have.

Probs no new info really. Just need to get this over the line ASAP with other teams keen. Does sound like a real coup if we can do it.

Adkins said post match he expects them to be fine.

Not convinced he is that good, certainly not been great for Blackburn this season and at LB is not as good as Shaw for me. he would want to be a first choice and We can't offer that anyway.

Fair enough. For me there can be no real negatives to successive promotions, can barely get a better couple of seasons IMO, especially playing decent footy.

Players trained on Thursday. Anyone taking a flight so close to a game without authorisation would be in huge breach of club discipline rules. If the club knew I would be equally surprised, Adkins said we would not be interesting in selling Lambert and there is certainly no logical reason to let him go in January.

Ok, just putting an opinion across which many others hold. You have a very negative attitude towards Saints. I hope you have enjoyed the last few seasons.

You are a troll. Even during successive promotion seasons you were doom and gloom, overreacting to everything and never admitting you were wrong. The vast majority on this board dislike you and wish you would stop posting. I'm sure you won't like this post but 90% plus will agree with me so just being honest. Look back over your post history and try to find the last one that was positive - you are unbalanced.

We conceded 4 and then 3 in those games. Whilst that's not all his fault we have conceded at least 2 and often more in every game he has played this season.

Just too clumsy for me. Especially against the more cultured attackers. Looking at his career as a whole there is nothing to suggest he can handle this level. It's a harsh league and harsh decisions are required IMO.

I would say it fits perfectly. Outsiders say they need experience but Lambert refutes that. They need quality more than just experience IMO.

What if Twente don't want Hooiveld and/or De Ridder? Do they not have a choice? Why would Spurs or Stoke loan Dawson or Upson? In the summer Spurs only wanted to sell him and he has captained them this season. It's easy to make these lists but in reality it's harder than just saying 'Get him, swap him for him etc'.

Sounds ideal for us!

Forecast was never anything other than crap. No doubting Coles was good but when Davis was playing well the last few years nobody questioned the coaching. It's personnel, being found out at the highest level.

If he could be back for Wigan away beginning of Feb I would take that!

Agree, all about staying out the bottom 3, a point is not a disaster despite what some will say. Must win is when you are points adrift.

When Hooiveld has played this season we have conceded 2 as a minimum every time I think.

Lol, you predicted one point from 5 games. We got 10.

We have got players lined up. Adkins said so before this game and clearly offers have been made. How are we seeing a rerun of the summer after FOUR days of the window being open?

He is sub standard at this level, looked shaky at Stoke and is awful against any striker with a bit of Prem class hence we we are going to be relegating him to 4th choice CB soon. Players like Hooiveld are the problem, as soon as we have a couple of injuries like AL also the backup players are nowhere near good enough. No way De Ridder should be the first option off the bench, we wasn't even that high in the pecking order last year!

What do you want him to say? He spoke at length about them pre match?! If they don't ask him, do you expect him to still mention them?

This. Cork was MOTM on Tuesday and I would play him over FR any day. Problem is the squad players aren't up to it which is why other first team players get shifted instead.

The guy is a complete goon. Worse than anyone else on here. Opinions with no factual foundation, clearly lacking an awareness of football and every bone in his body is negative. If football gave me that little joy I wouldn't bother watching anymore. Consistently makes crass comments that come back to haunt him.
