Saint Charlie

The Skysports article says all four clubs close to agreeing a fee so I guess it will be down to him. Ipswich would be a good move for him.

Which Messageboard is that?

Could happen, we would need another centre back then though, and I doubt Seaborne would have played in the U21s yesterday if this move was in the offing.

Got a feeling he could opt for Burnley over Blackpool though, the influence of Eddie Howe. Also the reports don't suggest that all the bids have been acceptable to Swindon.

Would guess so yes. Nice to know we are after a striker though given the interest in Mackail-Smith also.

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/8814750.Austin_poised_for_Town_exit/ Saints do have a bid in for Austin and are in the race....

Sure Lallana wouldn't have stayed if we had no money. We asked about Mackail Smith is who is 1m minimum. Be patient.

If they rest anyone I hope it is Nani - he could tear us apart.

Neville might play, get OXO and/or N'Guessan running at him, his legs are gone.

Keep it going Nicola!

Great news, Im off to get his name tattooed on my back....had a big gap since Javi de Pedro was lazered off.

He probably told Cortese the price they want, now its up to us if we go for it.

This is dated 1st Dec....he is back at Saints. Mystifying thing with him was when we signed him it said 2 year contract with option of a third. He stayed two years and now is in the third...but surely we didn't extend it.....so makes you wonder if we were lied to when he signed?

I think a newspaper can report what they like.

Yeah no wonder no Journalist has put their name to that article!

Echo sinks to new low reporting a change in Wikipedia: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8810279.Wiki_leak__Peterborough_ace_listed_as_Saints_player/?ref=rss

No - for one the first choice players deserve the chance to play Utd. Secondly - a heavy defeat would be bad for morale.

His Dad/Agent doing a fully arranged interview to SSN while he is still under contract for 2 years etc surely won't have pleased Saints. It also puts loads of pressure on Alex as if he wasn't hyped enough!

Swindon local paper says offers received from Blackpool and Burnley.

He was training at Swindon today, double session- no Saints medical!!

Is the Mackail-Smith link one of these smokescreen false links? Could be but ultimately if we sign good players then I don't mind how it all comes about.

10m upfront with loan back for this season. Otherwise buy someone else if you don't like the terms.

Exact wording was: "BBC Radio Solent also understands that Saints are keen to sign Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith before the end of the transfer window."
