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.

Agree on those names you've mentioned. A winger is a definite. Woolford his his 8th goal of the campaign today... Marc Pugh might be another one to add to the list. Attacking midfielder, perhaps? Maybe a striker, but he'd have to be some player to beat either Lambert/Guly/Barnard to the first XI.

Crikey, that'll be our old youth team strike force all back together again!

I got the impression (From listening to Nigel's pre-match interview on solent) that his preference of signings will be players who have played in the championship before.

I read into that: "We have no money to sign him - I hope to god no-one comes in and bids for him"

700k

I've always stood by my 500k value for him... I may need to adjust that after this recent goal flurry. What a shame he's so temperamental.

This is a very good point. I look around at the teams around us, and there's no doubt, we have the most to talent to lose this January, compared to other clubs. If we can keep Lallana & Chambo at the end of January, I'll be delighted.

Just been watching SKY's football league show. They've been rounding up the season so far for each of the 3 divisions. Peter Beagrie's top 3 players of league 1 were Austin, Chamberlain, and a lad called Dale Jennings of Tranmere. Anyone mentioned him on here? Looks like a hell of player. Has pace to burn.

That's awesome, mate!

What a steal that is! - Great signing, and he's starting to add goals to his game as well. Nice bit of business, Saints.

Yeah, I read into it that the Chappie deal is already done. Brilliant news if true.
