And Arsenal still want Slattery... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/11483978/Southampton-secure-hot-19-year-old-prospect-Ryan-Seager-on-four-year-deal.html

Can only think of Stones, really. We are certainly lacking.

Alex Crook does his usual copy & paste job on that article (And I assume gets paid for it too) http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-plot-transfer-real-madrid-5359651?

We really need to ship him out permanently this summer.

After he scored last night I was wondering if he'd sign a new one, or leave at the end of this season. If I remember correctly, the last 2 summers, he's only signed a year deal.

Boro & Forest not in for Gallagher apparently. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sam-gallagher-boro-wont-signing-8851951? http://www.nottinghampost.com/Dougie-Freedman-says-Southampton-striker-Sam/story-26181306-detail/story.html?

I remember Watford handing us our a$$es quite a few times in those days under Hoof-royd.

Some interesting snippets from the recent Huddersfield press conference with Chris Powell & Jonathan Hogg from a today: 1.09pm: - Hogg on Ross Wilson: "Ross is a top man, he knows his football and knows what he is doing. - "He took me to Watford from Aston Villa and took me here, he is one of the best at what he does. - "He will be missed and he's gone to a top-six Premier League club so you can't turn that down." 1.10pm: Hogg says players can go and speak to Ross Wilson: "He's hands-on a lot, he comes to watch training and gets involved with the banter with the players." 1.37pm: - Powell on Ross Wilson: "He's a very good football man, he helps me to bring players in and let players out but that isn't his sole job. - "I know he came in since the team came up and there has been a real overhaul with regards to scouting and recruitment. - "We are a Cat 2 academy team and that takes some building, but there has been a lot of unseen work so his role here many people will think it is recruitment but he is going to a progressive club and he will fit in seamlessly." 1.38pm: - Powell says Town should aspire to reach Southampton's status as one of the most progressive clubs and on a replacement for Wilson: "If someone comes in, it will be different. - "We have brought players in from abroad who are on the fringes but I think there is a role for someone. - "If it is solely scouting and recruitment or not, we will discuss it."

Superb right-back for us, but sell for the highest price possible in the summer if he's not going to sign a new deal. I'd imagine it'll be for around £15m, but it does tend to go crazy in the summer - especially for English players.

I love Nigel Adkins - consecutive promotions under some fairly incredible pressure, I'd imagine. Gave us some absolutely fantastic moments. Hope he finds himself a good job soon.

He's given just what we I hoped he would after we signed him - That X-factor to turn a game, beat his man and grab some vital goals for us. Relative bargain at £10m IMO.

Liking the sound of another "Five year plan". The last one was alright wasn't it?

LOL @ Poyet

Manè back-heel to Bertrand vs QPR springs to mind.

LOL at having Winston Reid above Toby on your short-list.

Because most of the talk of teams wanting him [Reid] was probably not true.

What a f*cking relief that is! - I didn't think that goal was coming. That was a pretty slick finish too from Mane. Fantastic 3 pts.

I didn't see the game on Saturday, but listened to some of it on the radio - Was he playing as a defensive midfielder?

Slightly off-topic, but how can QPR share-holders just write-off £60m of debt under FFP rules?

Is the cost training ground upgrades etc. exclusive from FFP?

Poor old Gaston. All too familiar. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Gaston-Ramirez-Jury-long-term-future-Hull-City/story-26102863-detail/story.html?

Will Jedinak be missing for them? Surely he'll get a ban for that elbow yesterday?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Guidetti get linked again this summer.
