Fat boy has a serious illness. We live in hope.

Please explain how we could have got a quality CF in June apart from making offers, which we did? Sharp said no. Wolves said no about Ebanks-Blake. Jay Rod didn't want to move, which I respect. Bristol City wouldn't sell Maynard. Beckford kept his Premiership money at Leicester. So please, explain what else we could have done.

Quite but like many I feel that a striker in the mould of Beckford/Maynard, along with a partner for Fonte, were the missing pieces of the promotion jigsaw. We got a CB and did our best in the striker dept so nowt to moan about from me.

A fee was agreed, my Burnley oppo has told me that much. The nipper simply didn't want to move and told Burnley he wouldn't sign if they agreed a fee or not.

I 8-2 tell you but your alzheimers has flared up again.

Apparently the lad made it clear that he wasn't leaving. The fee between the clubs was fine.

Whilst he's not as bad as portrayed by many he isn't good enough if we want to go up.

Believe he's on UI and he can be found on twitter posting his usual bol loxs using #saintsfc

Get over yourself. Your right wing hysteria is tiresome at best. I happen to believe that ALL companies should pay their fair share regardless. If companies did then the ordinary man in the street may get a fairer deal. It's not a party political point.

Bless, you're so precious.

What the fu ck are you on about?

But it's not a rumour is it. It's simply a why not considering the clubs bidding.

What a strange thing to say, of course him as well. It should apply to everyone.

Never wear a hat in the shower.

If we taxed corporations correctly and stopped the likes of Philip Green, Barclays and Vodafone avoiding paying their due share then perhaps income tax could be cut for the ordinary working man. None of us likes income tax and NI and most of us feel like we've been mugged every month when we look at our pay statements but until governments of all shades actually do something about big business avoiding tax, nowt will change.

Dune's record on economics is without parallel.

If he stays because he loves Burnley then fair play to him. Loyalty is a rare commodity in todays football.

Throw a hissy fit like the rest of the drips.

Such as? The great unwashed have been clamouring for a big signing that shows our intent and is EPL ready. Dann's is. Yes, of course I know it's totally left field but a CB of that quality is, to me, the difference between promotion and another season in the NPC.

Bless, you're so sweet and so naive.

I'm not sure anyone if football cares about it.

Not surprised that you don't get it. Never been the sharpest tool in the box.

In you little world that may be happening, but not in the real world. Strange how folk want Saints to show intent and buy players that can take us up but then go all girly when someone suggests, tongue in cheek, that they actually do that.

The children don't understand that concept.

The press are reporting that a £5m bid has been accepted from Blackburn. Get him on the bus!
