SuperSAINT

Don't *think* Cox is blessed with masses of pace. Has certainly scored some great goals for Swindon in the past though. His goal scoring record for them was comparible with Charlie Austin's when you look @ them on Wiki. Cox - Games 62 / Goals 35 Austin - Games 57 / Goals 32

Anyone know if Matt Oakley's getting a look-in at Leicester at the moment? Great at retaining the ball & captained a promotion winning team out of this league. CDAJFU?

Suprised no-one's been been linked with him already. I'd take him or CMS in a heartbeat. Little bit of pace up front would really give us something different.

Really? I didn't know that. I thought he was doing quite well up there. Always thought he'd be a top signing.

Very much doubt there's enough time for us to sign CMS. But I actually think he'd be a better signing than Charlie Austin. Austin has got some serious potential, but CMS has lightening pace, and there's no doubt, that as a squad, we seroiously lack it up front.

I have no complaints about yesterday, and was proud to be a Saints fan. That’s really all I was after. I was pretty much buzzing at the end of the 1st half (And went mental when we scored) Bart - 7 – Thought he looked solid. I was never worried when he was shot stopping or coming for crosses. Really is quite crazy that we have a keeper like him as back up. Only fault I can remember is one lazy pass in the 2nd half. Otherwise pretty damn solid. Harding - 8 – Dan was excellent today. There was me thinking Dickson was our better attacking full back! – So unlucky not to score with that gem of a corner routine in the 2nd half. He had me off my seat with his little ‘Maradona’-esque run as well. Seaborne - 7 – Looked composed, and solid. Don’t think he got caught out, and his distribution was solid all afternoon. 'Font' - 7 – See above Butterfield - 7 – 1st half, I thought his crossing was outstanding. Think he suffered in the 2nd, the minute Nani was brought on – Certainly seemed to limit his distribution, but then again, Nani cost about half as much as St Mary’s stadium, so I won’t hold it against him. Schneiderlin - 9 – I thought he was imperious, and majestic. Thought he ran the show in the 1st half. Great tackling, lovely variety of passes. Absolutely superb. My MOM. Chaplow - 8 – Tireless, aggressive and what a FANTASTIC goal! We all know what he cost, but to hear the commentator say “50k” out loud brought a smile to my face. What a bargain. Chambo - 7 – Showed glimpses. Had me off me seat a fair few times. He’s class. Great touch, control & technique. Really is going to be some player. I still would’ve loved to have seen him & Lallana on each flank running at O’shea & Fabio – I think we would’ve given them even more problems if that were the case. Guly – 6.5 – Touches of class, touches of not so much class. Out of our forwards, he’s the only one with a bit of pace about him. Should’ve done better with the header in the 1st half. But as we know, there’s a lot more to come from him in the league. Barnard – 6.5 – Worked hard, tried hard. Was much better in the 1st half, than the 2nd.. Lambert – 6.5 – See above. Couple of nice free kicks. Can’t help but feel in the 2nd half we maybe should’ve ditched the nice football and went more direct into Lambo.

Sounds promising. Quick striker, who can play on the wing. A quick google image search also shows that he looks about 14 years old. Hopefully, we can sweet talk Utd into loaning us young talent, and then NOT sell them Chambo

Great signing for them. Cox on loan would be a damn good signing for us. I think in the season before last - Lambert, Beckford & Cox were far and away the best strikers in the league. But they've already allowed Ishmael Miller & Chris Wood to leave, so I can't see it happening.

Solent just said at 5.20pm that there's around a 1000 tickets still available.

After all this, I find myself actually suprised it's true. Can't see him choosing us (rare for footballer's to see potential, they want the here and now) but would be a great signing. CMS is very likely our 2nd choice.

If he has the same impact as Antonio, we'll have a hell of a signing on our hands.

As a natural pessimist, I will be hopeful of not getting a complete pasting. Is Lallana likely to play? I was really looking forward to seeing him & Chambo taking on the Utd full-back's, but without him, we don't score goals against the likes of Notts County, and Tranny, let alone Utd! With that said - Stranger things have happened....

They can afford a million pounds then? I wonder if they'll get anywhere near that for Puncheon?

Maybe. Maybe not. Don't be suprised to see Wenger implement 'Phase 2' of his unsettling plans... I fully expect to see Arsenal players, i.e. Theo, talking about Chambo in the press very soon. It also needs to be said - Full credit to Nicola for not caving in so far.

Saw that just now. Would be a quality signing. (And can play as a wide man too).

Doh, wrong thread.

Only just saw these games were on myself. So far so good. MK Don's losing...

The nostalgic part of me thinks he'd be better served presenting the show from a cafe in Florence, drinking a coffee, and reading gazzetta dello sport. Loved that show.

Think you're right. Unless we're thinking of George Boyd...

Would be a GREAT signing.

I'm convinced he'll go to Burnley. I'll be VERY happy if I'm wrong though.

Have we ever been officially linked with him? (Aside from this thread)

Damn.

Great signing. Nice work Nigel & Nicola.
