Awesome signing if it happens. Probably the best midfielder in the division. (And could easily play in the CCC -Hopefully with us, not with Norwich)

3 year deal according to this... http://www.stainesnews.co.uk/surrey-sport/brentford/2010/06/04/brentford-defender-ryan-dickson-set-for-saints-switch-64767-26587637/

Not much to it, but.... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8202027.Dickson_set_for_Saints_medical/?ref=rss

Yup. Punch & Lallana can play on either wing, but aside from those two, we have no back-up players to either of them!

Cross Billy Paynter & Dean Cox off the list - They've gone to both Leeds & Leyton Orient respectively.

Couple of points of interest from SKY’s transfer clock. 18.29 Swindon Town are expecting leading scorer Billy Paynter to leave the club in the summer rather than sign a new contract. Leeds United have been strongly linked with a bid for the striker. 17.18 Burnley have bolstered their squad ahead of their return to the Championship by signing striker Chris Iwelumo from Wolves. Shame, Iwelumo would've been a hell of a signing.

I always find it interesting when players divide opinion : And Morgan really does do that. I've no idea why though - We always look a bit clueless when he's not in the side. Morgan just keeps us ticking over, keeping it nice and simple. Very much hope he stays too, but i'm certainly not suprised that people are interested, especially when he was playing well in the youth tournament recently.

Pards wants a midfield general... (No suprise there) http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8192580.Pardew_looking_for_midfield_general/?ref=rss

Not really reliable. They tend to run media stories, and stuff posted on forums! With that said, i'll happily eat my hat if they got this one right!

Someone made mention of this a few days ago, but looks like Ambrose going to QPR is almost a done deal. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6173740,00.html He probably won't be the last player to sign for them that I'd like to have here, either.

Has George Boyd been mentioned by anyone? I thought he'd moved to Forest, but that was only a loan at the time. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_6150919,00.html Can't see us getting him with all that lot after him, but I can remember him being a hell of a player at this level.

Well, Brentford certainly rate Dickson... http://www.teamtalk.com/southampton/6171820/Scott-stands-firm-over-Dickson-value

Yup

Heard that too - Said it without any hesitation too.

17 in the league alone. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/topassists?league=eng.3&seasontype=4&cc=5739

Ha! I so knew that would happen! Was thinking the same about him in the CCC. Penalty aside, thought he was outstanding tonight. Who knows, maybe it's more likley now they've missed out on promotion. Along with Harper, he's another ex-Pardew signing.

Haven't seen all the game tonight, but Nicky Bailey at Charlton has really impressed me tonight. Sits back, dictates play. Long/short passes to feet with either foot, breaks into the box, and not afraid to strike from distance. (I'm probably jinxing him, because he'll probably miss a penalty or something before it's over, but he looks a top player)

The article "Koren surprised by exit" begs to differ... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11698_6159159,00.html He'd be an amazing signing. Would be even better than the Fonte signing IMO for a statement of intent. (Wages would be up a level to what we're paying anyone else though).

In Pards I trust. We had a similar issue with left-back's last year, and he pulled Dan Harding out of the bag.

I can see both sides to the argument regarding Hammond. I think he's fine for us in league 1, but I don't think he'd be up to scratch when we move up to the championship.

Brilliant. LOL at the people who think we'd be better off selling Lallana.

Thommo will find a new club without any problems. (I just hope they sign him up on a pay-as-you-play deal)

Wowsers. No real suprising names there, except Lloydy. Shows you how far we came from early on the season, because he was the only guy who could cross the ball! We'll miss Thomas & Perry's experience, but I think we all knew they were offski anyway. Gutted for Murty too - A fit Murty would've been quality for us. So that's 4 players out who can play at Right-back!! - Methinks we'll need more than Calderon! Wonder how much we've trimmed off the wage bill with that lot? If I put my FM head on, then i'd say it's around 30k p/week which I reckon free's up wages for 3 or 4 top players at this level.

Top player. Never worried me seeing him in the team. Best of luck, Chris.
