Davis has way more about him than Guthrie, IMO.

Nice job, as usual mate. Good to read that verdict on him. Really pleased with this deal. Sounds like he's a quality player. Worth a mention that Alan Nixon proved his stripes on this deal too. He's patchy at the best of times, but has been right more than most.

Agree, but is quite likely now IMO. We knew we’d need 5 at least (4 down the spine, a right winger) – And that was before we lost Martin on loan and signed a left back.

I'd rather sign him and let him fight for his place here against Kelvin as it should be.

Quality!

Is this what Simon Clifford used to be involved in?

Interesting. The keeper merry-go-round saw Celtic not agree terms with Craig Gordon prior to them concluding the Forster deal...

Just asked a QPR supporting friend about him.... On Mackie, there's no way I can see QPR letting him go. He only signed a contract extension a couple of months ago and came runner up in our player of the year. I think it's a bit of lazy journalism because the full article said that as we bought in Johnson and have Zamora & Cisse... and that Mackie has been pushed down the pecking order... But since he's signed for us, I've never once seen him play upfront. So as I see it, he will still start right midfield ahead of Wright-Phillips. He's one of our best players, I would be devastated if he left... But I wouldn't read too much into it.

I very much hope so.

Confirmation that Fleck obviously not as good as he is on FM... Coventry have reached an agreement with Rangers to sign attacking midfielder John Fleck. We'll bring you more shortly. (From Sky Sports)

Off to Norwich now...

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach #SaintsFC are hopeful of tying up a deal for Vitesse's Alexander Büttner, but I understand talk of Rangers' Steven Davis is wide of the mark

I'd like to think so, but lets be honest - If he REALLY wants to go, then he'll go. (Nice that we're in the prem now though which you'd hope would help)

#SaintsFC will ignore any bids from #CFC & the like for @Luke_shaw3, I can report. Unlike w/Theo, Bale & Chambo, club will refuse to budge. (From Simon Peach)

Nixon (I know) on Saints/Butland... Q: @reluctantnicko Butland to #saintsfc still alive? A: @JoshFernandes94 Keep making offers. Birmingham keep wanting more. But money talks in the end.

This link is agent talk if ever I saw it.

Proving fitness would be the most important thing - Seem's like forever ago that he played consistently.

Let's hope he's more Marian Pahars than Mikael Nilsson

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is eyeing Bolton’s Mark Davies in a £6million swoop after missing out on Gylfi Sigurdsson, writes the Daily Mirror. (Was rumoured to be on our radar, I believe).

According to reports in Holland, Vitesse midfielder Alexander Buttner has travelled to England to hold talks with Southampton. The highly-rated Dutchman has previously been linked with Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and is expected to seal a move to the Premier League.

Good signing for them. Don't want to sound arrogant, but we're surely after better now.
