Yes we will needed a replacement Yoshida and Gardos probably aren't it. Same goes for Steven Davis who is getting on a bit (in footballing terms).

I think he is suggesting Levy and Poch are big fans of Fifty Shades of Grey

I meant we won't sell good players

Be interesting to see how losing Jan Vertonghen to a knee ligament injury will effect (or not) spurs form the next few weeks

yeah but we won't sell him after one season the club has shown that they will say no if the circumstances are right.

Chelsea is a massive upgrade on spuds. Question is weather poch is a big enough name for Chelsea? As yet poch hasn't actually won a single thing as a manager.

Listening to a bit of Liverpool V Stoke on the radio tonight and you can here Stoke fans belting out OWTS (well stoke). Also seems like a lot of away fans are have a go at singing OWTS at SMS these days to. Don't know why but it ****es me off Saints fans would never sing Delilah, You'll never walk alone or blowing bubbles so why the **** do others want to sing our song...

VVD for me has been an absolute rock at the back in recent weeks.

The only saving grace there is Ryan has been at one the big boys and didn't want to stay. He might value being a first name on the team sheet type of player at a slightly smaller club (plus he already has a champions league winners medal so his career is complete )

I did go back and check his age the kid is only 18 so still time for him to kick on yet.

from the BBC Crystal Palace are set to complete the signing of striker Emmanuel Adebayor in the next few hours, according to the the London Evening Standard. Adebayor, 31, has been without a club since leaving Tottenham in September. Palace's next game is against Stoke in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday. That's either going to be a (Short term) inspired signing or an unmitigated disaster guess Pardew is a bit desperate

Looks like Townsend to Toon done deal 12 million quid Newcastle have agreed a fee, believed to be about £12m, to sign Tottenham's England winger Andros Townsend. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35409021

The best thing about this is we won't have constant calls for Gaston to be in the team every time we go through a bad patch based on the idea he is suddenly going to come good.

Might be stretching it a bit at the moment. I think Mane is still working hard and doing his best but he is trying to force things at the moment. Snatching at shots, trying to take on more opponent basically all the signs of an attacking player trying to find the back of the net after a goal drought and putting to much pressure on himself. As soon as the boy gets a goal or two and gets his confidence back he'll be fine.

Much the same as a lot of loony saints fans then.....

An unusual move from spurs. Do they want something like the from Newcastle.....

Isn't Sims playing in a higher age group than his age though? He is still pretty young iirc but when I've seen him he has looked pretty good.

I really can't see how that deal benefits saints HTBH....

I see in my phone news feed this morning has a couple of stories claiming Spurs want to swap Victor for Townsend. At the very least we need a like for like swap so if they want to swap for Dele Alli the club should think about it ?

This wouldn't be happening if Poch was here with his magic touch.....

Back to last seasons tight defence long may it continue. On MOTD2 extra they were talking about the man U game they said saints have played 3 at the back 5 times this season and conceded one goal.

Much tougher game than the last few. After yesterday and boxing day they will be right up for it I reckon. I'd take a draw. Much the same as everyone else I'd keep the team the same as last week but with Davis in for Tadic. It's working at the moment so I wouldn't change it.

OK I missed this thread first time round .....great stuff guys

Yeah well that's given but I was really only talking about the last two summers otherwise I'd have the Ox back to.
