Isgrove seems to have been around for quite a while - how old is he now?

Always a staple signing for me on FM 2011.

Excellent news. Nice work, Nicola.

Pete Colley ‏@petecolley Told that Villa are not in for Coutinho!

That's crazy. We were getting tonked by Swindon not long ago....

Brum would want 6m for Redmond http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/birmingham-city/9788417/Birmingham-demand-6-million-for-England-under-19-international-Nathan-Redmond.html

Wern't we linked with this kid about 3 weeks ago? Billy likes the look of him tonight - Anyone else watching? billy sharp ‏@billysharp10 I do like the look of nahki wells,he was lively against arsenal now against villa.I reckon he will get a move this window.

I'd love to see a compiled time-line of those events. It was mental.

Wasn't Nixon the guy who said Nicola wanted "sexy signings" prior to us landing Gaston?

As a rule, yes.

Never get bored of reading stuff like this.... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-look-at-coutinho-and-davide-astori-1523048

Indeed. Who'd have thought De Ridder would get onto the pitch this season?

Perhaps, or maybe he's an upgrade over Punch.

Yeah, and Shaw is probably leaps & bounds ahead of Olsson, defensively.

I love the fact that when I read a story like this I think "NO CHANCE!" ....but there's when it's a player based in Italy, there's always that little chance Cortese is working some magic.

No, not in that segment anyway. Big Dave Merrington said we should buy a centre-back, and mentioned Zaha & Ince as the types of players in attacking positions we should be going for.

Heard Adam Blackmore talking about the Yossi rumours on Solent earlier. He said someone at the club told him today those reports were "rubbish".

Another post from the fella itchen_dan mentioned above:- @jackrathborn: I've watched every minute he's played since start of last season. Quality centre back, has ability on the ball, very classy.

Who reported it's off?

Former Derby and Arsenal winger Ryan Smith has joined Greek Super League outfit Skoda Xanthi after leaving MLS side Chivas USA. Smith has signed a two-and-a-half year contract and told Sky Sports: “I spent three years in America and enjoyed it, but now I am keen to help Xanthi and look forward to the challenge ahead.”

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Doesn't seem to be anything in Forren to #SaintsFC talk.

Jack Sullivan ‏@jsullivanwhu I am very sorry about this news Chamakh has sign a 6 month loan deal! not my pick LOL @ that tweet!

LOL. Pretty sure Forest have got the clout, regardless. But I expect them to at least make an offer fairly soon. I'd personally extend his loan with them rather than sell. IF the worst happens and we go down, a front 2 of Sharp & J-Rod would be very handy.
