The one area the Club could have done a lot better and would hope it does so in the future is communication.

So no outgoing movement for Boruc so potentially we are in a much stronger position in that respect. Is there any info suggesting he will be back in the fold?

Having looked at your recent posting history it would seem you are one of the trolls you are referring to. Give it a rest and enjoy the position we find ourselves in as a club.

Irrespective of his actual playing time at the WC he is obviously quite a talented chap to make the squad and indeed first 11 of FIFA's no.2 ranked team in the world.

Not a Koeman decision then?

Let's not forget he said he wouldn't be leaving on loan either.

Would have been 3 without the unforeseen departure of Taider.

Part of Koeman's intensive training program that Taider didn't like?

Townsend.....with implications

Done with an hour and a half to spare.

Potential for the next hour and a half to be a real mixed bag.

He also said the following: @solentsport: #saintsfc Koeman on reports linking Ramirez to Seville: "We need every player. Our squad's not big enough to think about loaning players".

With Mane imminently on board doesn't that the negate the need for someone like Townsend?

If, and it's a big if, the rumours are true then I'm sure the interested parties have taken all those points in to consideration. Personally I hope it's a load of cods wallop.

Based on?

I'd like to think we could attract players over 2 teams that finished below us last year but nonetheless we've clearly done well to get these players on board especially against Spurs if they were genuine contenders for their signatures. Assuming we get them over the line tonight.

You would imagine he's going to be playing for 3 years more than Defoe. I'm really optimistic about Pelle but at 29 he's not the normal age profile we've become accustomed to signing in recent years. Hence my response to BBB when he referred to Defoe's age.

I'm not too sure what any of that has got to do with the comment you made which my post referred to?

29 yr old Pelle.

I'm quietly positive about our squad assuming no out-goings tonight and the two new guys sign but until I've seen the team play some games it's not possible to say for sure at this moment in time.

Toby was at Ajax and as said elsewhere Mane tore Ajax apart last year (watched by RK) according to Feyenoord1908 on the Mane thread.

It would seem that Toby, Mane, Pelle and Tadic are all Koemans own identified targets which leaves Les and our scouting team finding Bertrand, Gardos and Taider (less said the better). Maybe there's an opportunity for some cost-saving.

I think you'll find that is incorrect.

Will they still be relying on fax machines again today? Normally wake up the day after transfer window closes to find some high profile move completed several hours after the deadline.

All these clubs and players flip-flopping around but when they do eventually sign they will have been 'the number one target all along' and 'my mind was set on this club from the start'
