Hoping Bentekesaurus gets a red card today.

Absolute gamble to not sign any attacking players in the window.

Yeah. 3 managers didn't really rate him him here. The games moved on from having lazy/talented No.10's. Especially if made of glass.

It's not possible he can be fit though. Needs a couple of practice matches at least.

I'm happy to go along with this. Promising that he's back training, but lets see how the week pans out.

This wouldn't surprise me.

Cool pic! - Cheers for posting.

ATLETI DUO TURKEY BOUND? Atletico Madrid forwards Luciano Vietto and Nicolas Gaitan could move to Turkey, reports sources in Turkey and Spain. The transfer window is open in Turkey until Sept 8 and there is interest from various Super Lig clubs in Vietto and Gaitan. According to reports in Turkey, Fenerbahce are trying to sign striker Vietto. They have already contacted intermediaries to sound out Atleti’s interest in selling the former Villarreal man. Fener want to sign Vietto on loan, but Atleti are only willing to sell him outright. Meanwhile, AS reports that Gaitan has been offered to Galatasaray, Besiktas, Basaksehir and Fener. The former Benfica winger would cost €15m.

Long played the whole match tonight.

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 (!)
