SuperSAINT

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.

Ha ha!!!

That was brilliant

True, and he'd be the key in securing most of the Dutch players too.

Love a bit of transfer summer speculation. Jeff's original post is a good effort. I'm going to assume we lose 4 in the summer: Clyne > Trippier Alderweireld > van Dijk Schneiderlin > Clasie J-Rod > Depay Jury still out on retaining Elia & Djuricic. Plus, we still need a Cork replacement & another striker so: - Vilhena - Ings

This is true. Somebody up top along side Pelle could be just what the doctor ordered.

That covering tackle on Sturridge was mustard.

From the Sunday Paper talk bit on SKY: "Southampton want Ross Wilson from Huddersfield to replace Les Reed as their director of football." Surely they mean Paul Mitchell?
