SuperSAINT

Shane Long starts for Rep. Ire. Good for his match fitness.

I wonder who's going to get the 1st sit-down interview with Gao / Nelly about their intentions for the club?

Was there anything ever official in it other than the Sky Sports report?

Would be crazy to loan him out now.

Take your point, but there is slight encouragement that we do a sign a striker if we need one in January if we look at history: - Sharp - Tadanari Lee - Austin - Gabbi. All January signings.

Thanks.

How are we now looking on this front?

One of those is Shane Long...

We get to look at Kirsty G regardless.

They got one of them.

The most 'Saints fan' way of thinking ever

If anything is imminent we normally get clues throughout the day.

You'd have thought all that would be sorted wouldn't you?! Rafa will be delighted they can't get a left-back on loan over the line due to a loan fee.

Liverpool have accepted a £26million bid from Crystal Palace for defender Mamadou Sakho, according to Sky sources. We understand the player is presently on his way to London for a medical..

Would love to know the loan fee. I saw Liverpool got £6m for Origi loan fee (!)

@GraemeBailey: But to confirm on Target, whilst he is travelling and ready to sign - the two clubs have not yet agreed the deal...

@PSG_inside: Le Paris Saint-Germain est heureux d'annoncer la signature de Kylian Mbappé ! #BienvenueKylian

WTF.

So do the recruitment people, evidently.

Crystal Palace have agreed a deal with Everton for striker Oumar Niasse, according to Sky sources. The deal is subject to personal terms being agreed and passing a medical.

@SimonPeach: Chances of #SaintsFC left-back Matt Targett's joining #NUFC on loan has gone from possible to probable. Good player & at 21 needs game time

No chance of that, I wouldn't have thought.

Brilliant. Means I don't have to worry about Cedric leaving.
