SuperSAINT

It's Hull. He's performed an utter miracle to not be down already.

Maybe he's seen the the better centre back to rest.

No idea if we will get Jekyll or Hyde from us today. On one hand they've been very poor under Agnew. On the other, I half expect Boro to play with freedom now they are down. I look back to our results away to Hull & Palace when they were both on terrible runs. Please win today, Saints.

Tell me it's The Don Nicola Cortese.

Defoe just isn't a Saints style signing. No re-sale value.

Massive twist if it's Eisner

Under Armour will be the kit designers. Heard it here first

Because Hull might go down? Poch took Espanyol down, I believe.

Does anyone have Ampersound's ITK credentials?

Oh dear....

Maybe the master plan was to hire a coach that nobody would want to poach from us! Mission accomplished!

This thread will be carnage if we lose to Boro on Saturday.

Trademark-saints. - Miss chances. - Concede a header to a big striker.

Because he's still here. Liverpool are hardly a team that keep interest in players quiet.

I'm still amazed Liverpool didn't go for Bertrand last summer.

Pretty sure Les wanted him out ASAP.

Keep forgetting Maguire is out of contract end of next season. He might mirror our Redmond move from last summer. We're certainly not short of centre-back options to target. * Semedo * Maguire * Sakho * Gibson * Jansson

Can't imagine we'd get anywhere near that price.

Great player & I miss him. Regardless of what anyone says, we haven't replaced him.

We overlooked Kante for Clasie....

I see it the other way. They normally go on heroic runs of form when it's too late.

Bumping this discussion. What do we think we need from a new midfielder? Physical presence? Or someone who can cover ground quickly?
