I've always thought it's quite tricky to judge a young powerful striker when they are only a teenager. Normally takes them longer to mature. We've obviously got high hopes for the lad.

Him again.... http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/474988/Arsenal-Tottenham-and-Southampton-on-alert-as-Leandro-Damiao-comes-back-on-the-market?

Was he out of contract?

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Have been informed that Ralph Krueger is happy to speak to me live on Sunday post-match , which is good , probably after 5:30pm #saintsfc

I guess this is why we seem keen on the "sporting director" option.

We will know if it's a Jim White/Cortese special or not if Neil Ashton runs a story on it later tonight...

Ugh. It's going to be a long summer.

200k a week contract helped their cause, of course

Marshall & Caulker for starters then?

Cheers for sharing, FF.

If you read his quote it's positive, but after watching it, I think he's off.

Shame Cork didn't get an automatic new contract for winning...

NEWS: We’re pleased to announce that Jake Hesketh has signed a professional contract with @SouthamptonFC. #saintsfc

LOL.

Osvaldo's just edges it for me over Adam's (like Chewy said) because he humiliates Kompany. Always thought it was a strange goal because it's the sort of goal that's scored when you're in crazy run of form, not struggling for goals like he was.

Would you take anyone in particular from Juve, Monk?

Very true. Not to mention the fact he's probably costing us £3m a year in wages.

I probably would take 7m. Can't see his attitude suddenly changing overnight. He's always been a loose cannon.

Really need to sign Cork up. Wouldn't be able to replace him with £3m.

Whilst I never doubted Juventus wouldn't pay the agreed asking price, I'm not entirely sure why they would currently want him for 7m either.

Enjoyed reading that. Good interview.

This. We've got decent craft and guile, but no-one with the pace to make runs in-behind.
