SuperSAINT

Not been keeping tabs on recent rumours regarding other teams, but apparently Leicester are targeting Beckham in January & West Ham had a bid of 7m rejected for Shane Long. Good to see our rivals being financially prudent

He must be DD. It can't be coincidence.

Sounds about right. Sure Dean will sign in due course. Morgan, I'm doubtful about.

Who was it that said Morgan had apparently told the hierarchy that he would see out his contract and return to France? Was it Leftback?

Great move. People are too quick to knock him. Who else do we need to tie down? Can only think of Morgan off the top of my head.

That was going to be my next post. If he's got the ability to beat players AND get his head up and pick out a player, we could have a real gem on our hands. Wonder if he's the product of our euro scout (if that ever happened).

Excellent!! How quick is he, Clarkey? Does he come in on his left foot at all?

How long is Puncheon's contract?

Probably true!

Wouldn't be hard to find out though, Nick. There's a reason why Punch's every possible move gets reported. (Mouthy agent)

Solentsport can confirm qpr in for #saintsfc player Jason Puncheon.Offer includes Kaspar Gorkss coming to st mary's. (This is 17 hours old - did anyone post it?)

Got word from my QPR supporting mate (Season ticket holder, goes to every game) -------------------------------- "Onto Kaspers Gorkss, got to say he's one of our most consistent players. I'm gobsmacked Warnock has offered him in exchange, it seems extremely odd. He had about 6 games last season where he was dreadful, but that little spell aside he was fantastic. I might be wrong, but I'm fairly confident he made more appearances than any other defender. He was runner up in our player of the year in Warnock’s first season in charge, he even took him with the first team to Italy on Monday… All the more odd when he left other centre backs out of the tour. Ramage & ****tu didn’t travel, so if anything I would have thought that either of those two would have been the first out the door? Gorkss as a player has just one weakness – pace. If he had that he would have been an established Premiership defender a long time ago. It does let him down sometimes, but there are so many great qualities to him. He will throw himself in front of anything, he’s not as mobile but he’s like John Terry in that sense. He is great in the air, chips in with the odd goal too. His distribution is okay, likes to knock it around a bit… and has a fantastic attitude! I actually managed to watch a game at Loftus Road in a box with him, he’s one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet. If it was anyone else with his ability I would put it down to them falling out with Warnock, but I can’t see it being the case with Gorkss. Like I said though, fantastic professional, top player and would be a huge loss to us. You would definitely be getting the better deal in my opinion, you take one of our best defenders and give us one of your rejects. I bet Adkins will tear both Warnocks arms off to get this deal completed. I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Balanta form any part of the deal… Saint’s have been watching him for a while and he wont make our 25 man squad."

Fits the bill for Jaidi replacement, and has bags of experience in this division.

Is this our 1st transfer that's involved facebook stalking? I haven't been keeping up with this one - Is he a ball player? Or a Jaidi-esque destroyer?

Great interview. Seems like Doble's going to get some much needed game-time on loan somewhere. 4 players in would be spot on. Exactly what I'd have gone for at the end of last season. DC - ? MC - Cork AMR/AML - De Ridder SC - ?

Rickie looks a hell of a lot leaner than he did last year... MLG - Can you throw up a comparison pic?

Would be nice to think any fee would cover the De Ridder transfer.

There's no way we're getting Maynard at his current price.

Agree completely. Would be a relative bargain if he could hit his 2009 levels though. Only 27 too.

Thanks for the write-up, Saint-Armstrong. Appreciate it.

I've been looking forward to us signing our annual foreign player I've never heard of. Looks slick on youtube. Nice work Saints.

+1 (I hope so) Wasn't there talk he wanted a move back to France and would let his contract run down?

Who else impressed you FF?

Are either of these two still about?
