SuperSAINT

Probably won't be as easy as people think. Exeter seem a bit hot and cold - Think they've over performed this year. They've beaten Sheff Wed 5-1, beaten Charlton, scored 3 away at Oldham, beaten Huddersfield away, beaten Carlisle & drawn with Peterborough. But lost games you'd expect them to win. They can score goals. I'm hoping for a return to our patented 3-1 victory. A win would really keep the momentum going.

Speaking of rumoured targets.... Anyone else see Danns' freekick yesterday? Class.

Comolli from Liverpool WAS at the game today. Also, I'm not 100% sure I heard this right, but I think I heard Nigel Adkins say that Barnard has had his hernia op and is now 100% ready to fire on all cylinders. Great win today boys. Fantastic to get ourselves back into contention.

Another +100k on his transfer fee. Nice work, Punch.

Stock's out of contract in the summer... Be interesting to see whether Donny cash in on him in Jan. I'd find it suprising if many L1 clubs (Sheff Wed excluded) could afford his wages or transfer fee if he goes though.

I like Punch - Shame he's fallen out of favour with the management. Like I said in the other thread, if we can get 500k for him, I think we'd all be happy. His continued good performances are going to help is value increase, so long may it continue.

I'd take the play-off's at the moment. I'll be better suited to judge us after January to see if we still have Lallana & Chambo, and to see who we bring in. Can't see us winning the league with 3 crocked strikers.

2 or 3 days ago, I read an article about them wanting Austin/McClean/Fryatt - So I knew they mean't business. Seems like they're bidding for all of them. I always thought they were skint. New Foreign owners, I guess.

I think Leicester & Hull will come close.

Since he's on the outs with the management anyway, I'd take 500k for him.

Agree. Barnard/Connolly can't play that many games in a row, and out wide, you could argue that our only cover for Lallana & Chambo are Butterfield & Dickson (Who are basically full-backs).

Awesome example of a player to SO should've stayed where he was.

Tommy Svindal Larsen - What a player! I remember when 97/98 1st came out - I was astonished you could pay a player 40k a week!

If he wants to go, he'll go (And players nearly always want to go!) With that said, unlike the Theo/Bale situation, I'd hope that nearly all of that sum gets pumped back into the team

Cheers for posting that, mate.

Coming to the end of my 1st season (I’m slow) I’ve got 3 games left of the season, been promoted as champions, and have 108 points, and scored 108 goals, losing 3 games. I don’t think i’ve ever had a team on this game ever do so well. I knew I had some decent fire-power with this squad, so I’ve played an attacking 4-2-4 and it’s paid off. Free Transfer Signings:- Brandy – Lived up to the hype. 37 goals in 41 games (don’t think i’ve ever had a striker like that!) Would’ve had more if it wasn’t for the 10 week injury lay-off he’s current got. Gyan – Solid, but not spectacular. Did a job as cover. DeMerit – Fantastic signing. Missed out on my main DC target, but he’s been outstanding alongside Fonte. Cash Signings (Brought using MLG’s ‘credit card’ scheme (pay over 48 months) Nordveidt – Signed from Arsenal. Got some good potential. His main attribute for me has been his versatility. Bennett – Risky signing. Cost me over a million. Acts as cover for Fonte & De Merit. Time will tell if he was worth the money. Lewandowski – Old, experienced head. Lots of quality. Hell of a shot on him too. Loan Signings:- McEachran – Done well for being so young. (Signed up due to Chelsea being my parent club) Kakutua – Needed cover when Guly left in January. Versatile, and did a job. Never played him in his strongest position though. Van Aanholt – Awesome signing. Trusted my scouts on this one (after already having Dickson and Harding, but this kid was a class apart) Kightly – Signed short-term as cover when Lallana got injured. Pacheco – Been outstanding in the latter few games of the season with Brandy out.

Adkins talks a little bit about January in the Walsall preview.... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2246147,00.html

http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/8739979.Cherries__Mitchell_dismisses_Pugh_transfer_talk/ Although, he did say the same before he sold Pitman & McQuoid

Think Pugh plays left wing.... But with Punch out and about, and Holmes out for the season, we are short on both flanks.

He certainly has. Attacking left winger with an eye for a goal. Been outstanding for them this season.

How depressing......
