Saint Charlie

Totally different to anyone we have.

Nixon right again...looks class and much needed pace.

One of the best NA interviews Ive heard!

Good Championship regulars being dominated by a L1 team...

Dave not a fan of Lee on the left.

Thats what he posted on Twitter the other day.

Anyone's Saints Player commentary started yet?

Let's just get it done.

As Ron said, probably best to wait for official confirmation before posting team line ups.

Hopefully the fan reaction doesn't make Bologna change the terms.

-----------------------Davis-------------------- Clyne----------New CB---------Jos------------Fox/New LB -----------------Morgan------Davis--------------------- Ramirez----------------Lallana---------------------Mayuka/New Pacy forward ----------------------Rickie/JR---------------------------

Ramirez plays best in the centre, if not then on the right where he can cut in and use his powerful left foot shot.

Fair enough, so when you say you understand it is actually that someone close to Saints has told you? So many journanlists on Twitter put understand when they clearly have taken it from somewhere else. Sorry if I offended - didn't mean to question your integrity.

Thats just a disclaimer - its clear that a lot of his tweets are work ie football journalism related and lots of them are a good read. I was just pointing out that saying "I understand" alludes to being ITK whereas the reality is that he is just summising the news that has already been posted here and his source is the same as ours. He is ITK on other stuff I am sure - but today he knows nothing more than we do. Loads of other news companies are getting stick for this, Sky always say SSN understands when the reality is it was in the morning newspapers.

Good one - he was a good player but injuries ruined him.

They have a good home record, will be a very tough game with none of our regular starters playing...

Baldock possibly a gazumption - Maynard we never went for apparantly.

Pretty sure with Ward we dropped out rather than were gazumped by another team. Very sure in fact. This is not a gazumption.

Darren Purse? Spurs def gazumped us for Reid - think they added Dawson to the deal but he wasnt ever coming here?

Gazump, gazumped, gazumption... Many of these phrases have been used about the Ramirez deal and it got me thinking - when have we actually been gazumped in a sitatuon that was public knowledge? I'm sure it happens behind the scenes when you think you have someone and then they go elsewhere but the public ones are what im thinking of. Probably a lot less than some think. I can remember that Halls had pretty much agreed to come here and it had been on the OS I think and then he went to Reading. Can anyone remember any others? Has to be a genuine gazumping not where the club decides not to buy the player. Note: Leave Buttner out of this as nobody really knows what happened apart from he signed for United over a month after our deal stalled.

Mark Davies is better IMO.

Agree in that the wide player so far havent got forward enough to really threaten and they need to in the 4-3-3 so this guy could probably do a good job out on the left.

IMO if we get Curtis then we also need Kevin Davies to complete our Davi(e)s spine to the team.

Not knocking Simon Peach but we all 'understand' it is nearly completed.... It seems like the first thing you get taught as a Journalist is to use the phrase "I/We understand that..." to basically say what is available across other news sources without naming them.
