SuperSAINT

Do you mean our total spending? Or how high up is £22.5m in record transfers?

I like how we're sharing targets with Man City now...

I'd love to know some of the figures involved in this. It's tricky to assume what they'd be on, due to probable promotion bonuses etc. Of the 8 that got released (Dickson, Seaborne, Hoskins, Reeves, Richardson, Butterfield, Seidi, Chaplow) - I'd estimate that's about 50k p/w in wages. The 7 players that have been told to look elsewhere (Martin, Hammond, Forte, De Ridder, Lee, Barnard, Sharp) - I'd estimate that's about 100k p/w in wages.

Just wonder whether the truth is that we just enquired, and were put off by the actual asking price. (Not the 9 million, mentioned by the press)

What was the last ITK post? Didn't Guan 2.0 post that we were in final talks with Halfredsson? (Apologies in advance if that's not what he said)

Do you know what? Worse threads get started than this. Does seem very quiet. Agree with Batman on the 2 positions. Will be interesting to see if thing's move on this week.

I'd be very excited by that news if the source wasn't cr*p.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri Fulham have bid 12m € for Roma's Osvaldo. Roma requesting 17m €

solentsport@solentsport Doncaster boss Paul Dickov confirms he made an enquiry about Billy Sharp two weeks ago to #saintsfc and is waiting to hear back.

Confirmed he's signed for Norwich. Will be interesting to see how he does.

I think you're probably right. The price quoted seemed crazy low to me.

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Just back from #saintsfc training, Good chats with @jackcork1 and @VictorWanyama will be hitting a paper neat you soon Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Going back this afternoon to speak to Pochettino although he has indicated there is not much movement on transfer front #saintsfc Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook As has been mentioned following Nicola Cortese's #ssn interview #saintsfc are looking at bringing in one more player - a striker Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook #saintsfc say they will not be rushed into making a panic buy and would be willing to start season with current squad Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Rickie Lambert and Gaston Ramirez both put in good shifts this morning. I don't expect either to leave #saintsfc this summer

Yeah, I heard that, Ottery. Think I read Alan Nixon linked him to Doncaster, Burnley & I think Celtic. Agree with this. Clint Hill & Mackie are the kind've players they need to get back up IMO.

Mackie signs for Forest. Wonder where Billy Sharp is going to end up now? - Reading?

Lets be honest - That would be crazy Osvaldo has the advantage of scoring goals in both Spain & Italy though.

Dan, would you go for Damiao over Osvaldo?

"Reports in plenty of papers this morning claim West Bromwich Albion are close to signing Udinese striker Matej Vydra on a season-long loan. Vydra impressed during a loan spell at Watford last season."

Or Osvaldo. Makes sense - 3 players to strengthen the spine.

Turned the tv on earlier and literally saw a 10 sec preview. Saw Nicola talking about wanting Top 10, and that the full piece will be shown from 6am tomorrow morning.

(Just for the record, as we were linked) Nottingham Forest FC@Official_NFFC #NFFC have announced the signing of Olympiacos winger Djamel Abdoun for an undisclosed fee.

Ha ha! - That's quality! - Can we add Simon Gillett to that list too?

I'm pretty sure I now know how Spurs fans have felt for the last few windows. Internacional seem to recycle the same kind've stuff every few weeks.

Will be curious to see how he does in the Prem, but I wouldn't want him now. Think we're after higher level quality.
