They cast their net out for two strikers and landed MClean & Fryatt instead. Just trying to think who else could sign him from the Championship? Leicester / QPR / Burnley, maybe?

When I heard of Adam's potential injury last night, the 1st two names I thought of were Harley & Pugh. Pugh's probably the most similar to Adam (Right footed on the left wing) - Doesn't Harley play central? With that said, Woolford would probably be the next step up to sign in terms of quality (and asking price)

What a fantastic job he's done there. (Great news for us that he's gone though).

Didn't hear Newcastle mentioned (but i was driving) The rest is spot on to what they said, though.

Blackpool have bid accepted for Hammill.... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6660611,00.html Wonder if they'll come back for Punch?

ribbo & trousers - I agree with both of you. Didn't sound too good to me from my interpretation of it either. Shame, because I thought we may've over-come the problems. But if he wants out, then he can go to the highest bidder.

He's ill. (And apparently, Millwall's opening offer for Punch was 150k) Really.

Agree with this. They've only lost once at home this season. Tough nut to crack. Draw wouldn't be a bad result at all.

Wow. Crazy. No shortage of managers to pick from for them though...

Fantastic. I've been away this weekend, and was out of the loop and i've just found about this. This tops beating Blackpool for me. What a fantastic signing by Nigel & Nicola. And thank you Adam for not doing what 95% of players would've probably done and gone off to where the grass seems greener. Brilliant.

Didn't see that coming..... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6638213,00.html

If we sold him for 1 million, and got someone like Woolford in for 500k, I think it would be a sound piece of business.

I remember that, Phil! - Played with Blackstock.... I remember us having about 6 strikers injured that day!

Agreed. Can't blame him in the slightest. He's done an amazing job down there, all things considered. Be interested to see if he can do the same for Palace.

Brum are just about to splash 7M on Robbie Keane. Can't see them going for Austin.

Would be a great move for us! - I'd bet Bournemouth will drop like a stone if he leaves....

Not *strictly* saints related but SKY saying Newcastle are preparing a bid for Gradel @ Leeds. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6634977,00.html Wonder if that quashes their interest in Punch and/or Lallana?

Irrespective of whether it's true or not, Pilkington is exactly the type of player we should be bidding for. He's probably the 3rd best winger in the league, after all

Think it's 750k on FM! (for what it's worth)

Fulham supposedly want Millwall's Morison http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11735_6632798,00.html Would give Millwall the ££'s to sign Punch.

Answered my own question..... http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/mar/17/mk-dons-sam-baldock-scouting-report

Woolford looks good. Playing well, and scoring for a team in the relegation zone. Nigel obviously managed him so knows all about him. I know less about Baldock. What type of striker is he? Wiki says he's a 5'7", so I'm imagining he's a speedster.
