disconnect

plus Bertrand (when fit) and (probably) Cedric

Yeah, it's weird, I was in a queue for 10 mins, got in just after 9, now that (home) match just takes me straight to the basket without being able to select anything...

So, I thought tickets were on general sale at 9AM? Not having any luck.

I was considering this too, sounds like £30 is a decent deal, although not really if the actual general sale tickets are a tenner. Anyone know what price this is likely to be?

What the hell was Debayo doing for the equaliser?!

Why wouldnt people want him back? He's (supposedly) pretty cheap, and is obviously quite talented, and shown he's willing to work hard. Didnt always work out for him last season, but he came into the side when a lot of other players form dipped quite a lot... He's got great experience and if we do well in the cups / Europe we'll almost certainly need a few him. He's almost certainly better than McQueen and Isgrove too, so can we really expect much better?

Or Scott Dann 65k/wk for 5 years! Going a bit QPR?

Surely all of our Europa home games will sell out?! Come on people!!!

Gutted it's Utd, but at least it's not Liverpool or Spurs!

Wet Sham - still cant get over their 'Boleyn Insider' thing on their official website! 'I've been told this, I understand that'... Cool story bro!

How tall is Harrison Reed?! Stood next to another player I thought was quite small and looked tiny!

Welcome to Saints Cuco!

Pretty sure he's breached contract quite a few times, so not really a surprise

Gaston featured quite heavily in the pre-season video - seemed to be one of the first there, chatting with the newbies and Gazza and generally seeming pretty happy with everything. Reckon he may well get a chance.

There's a 9 minute video online featuring quite a few of the youngsters. Anyone know which ones were definitely in there?

Turnbull? Is Stephens not the more highly rated of the two? Would've thought without Alderweireld that it'd be something like Fonte -Yoshida - Gardos - Stephens - Turnbull (5th choice)?

Pretty happy about this. Although a Liverpool fan in our office reckons a 15mil deal is confirmed for Clyne.

Result! Welcome to Saints!

Massive signing for them.

No real surprises in the list, although would've liked Rowe to have been given another year to see what he can do after a run of games. Disappointing Jake Sinclair didnt turn out as good as his brother!!

Vardy? He's an ok player, but is he England international quality - dont think so. Like others have said, not many other options with Ings, Berahino, Kane etc all in U21s and J-Rod injured. Doubt he'll play in the qualifier though, better to go with Walcott up front if Rooney / Welbeck / Austin arent playing. Happy for Austin, has deserved it.

Actually thought Djuricic looked alright when he came on. Rest were mostly hopeless.

What has happened to Mayuka?! It seems like he was injured absolutely ages ago - any updates?

Obviously all want Toby to stay - a class act. Fingers crossed on that, but seems a little unlikely. I think Elia will sign permanently, and is a useful squad player. I've seen him have some good games, but some where he's also been a bit anonymous. If we're in Europe next year we'll need more bodies, so for 3 or 4 mil, we're not going to get much better than a Dutch international, who is certainly capable of a few moments of magic. Djuricic obviously hasnt played much for us to base any assessments on, but I was pretty impressed with his movement and skill vs Liverpool(?). Thought he looked like he would be a star for us (although a bit lightweight), but has since been mostly injured, which is a shame. Definitely not worth 9mil on current evidence but again might be a decent player for the squad if the price is right. Not convinced he overly wants to be here though?!

Tim Krul would be a good signing, good keeper, and fairly realistic for us. Probably about on a par with Forster. If they dont pick up a result soon, can see them going down (7 points off relegation, with a worse goal difference and having played a game more than Leicester), then almost certainly Sissoko, Perez and Janmaat will leave. Pa**** Cisse is another funny player - sometimes brilliant, sometimes rubbish.
