What about that statue that plays out on the right for England - the one that never effects a game has no pace, can't go by any one and can't even shoot.....You know who I'm talking about........Can anyone tell me why he gets picked over the Totton right winger who is actually a better player than Milner........... This is the absolute waste of space which means England do not create - he was totally useless in the Euros and is still is - what is that all about????? AL is twice the the player......

Maybe not but we are pretty deperate right now so should be exploring some options instead of sitting on our hands!!!!!!!!

Definately not better than Walcott .......................

'No one' ?????????? I think that's stretching it a bit.............

AL deserves this he is a very good player but excuse me for asking - is is a better player than he was last season already???? I hate the way we bias our call ups on which league a player plays in andosyly which club they play for....

A fairly accurate assumption though I would put Henderson real value at 1m - on a good day or after the Euros free transfer......

Come off it! Fonts has been poor for about a year now - that's not 'fickle' that's fact!

Only downside was that Adkins was quoted as saying Southampton fans would be excited by him - didn't he say that when De ridder signed too ?

Read my lips - 'no one covering his back' is because he is never there - ever...When he comes forward he always cuts inside - leaving a huge gap down the left hand side which Utd exposed again and again and again........And so will everyone else.....He does not look to link with players down his side - he wanders off infield breaking up the momentum of the attack and ending up stalling the attack....When he is there - he stands off so far he allows even the most average player to get his cross in - he just stands and watches.......

I'd like to say very well spotted. He stares at the player with the ball and concentrate on him and nothing else and think about more than one thing at a time. The problem is he stops and stares and neither closes the opponent down or looks for where the ball might go - he just stops and stares. I really don't think it would be possible to coach awareness, however, it might be possible to at lest get him to engage an opponent that would help! Frankly just watching his body language you can see he is not really all together there and Im amazed this wasn't picked up before we paid well over what he was worth for his services. I keep reading that we have sports psychologists at the club but what were they up to when we brought him in? It's baffling that the situation has come this far......

Well said - Harding had more attributes than Fox and could play with AL.

Moronic reply to a harmless post.

Hey that's some memory! So he had one good game.....The rest were abject !

Fox was not one one of the 'best left backs in the Championship' - in fact he was a very long way from it and it's of little surprise that he's way off the pace in the Premier League.....The only surprise is that actually playing there!

Please please Fox you just aren't premier league or championship come to that!!! Liability .....

Anyway back on subject..........Great signings but.......we probably have one of the worse left backs in the Premier League - God help any team who have a worse one than us............So signings wise we are still woefully short in this area - bad move getting shot of Harding prematurely in my view and every team will know to attack us down that side with pace. So whilst we can get hysterical and wet ourselves over some great signings, are we leaving the back door wide open whilst we celebrate in the streets?

Is it not obvious we need a new left back badly......I know we have made some great signings however Fox is as far removed from the class we have signed on this window as you can get!!! Still cannot understand unloading Harding / a little Bizzare ...

Shame he's a very decent player....

Yes the left back slot is a huge weekness - gaping so do we have a plan for this ??? Surely we do?

The number 9 looked a good finisher!

He's got pace though - Only thing is It's very very slow, dead slow or stopped! - left back anybody??? ........

I'm off to slit my throat..!!! This is so funny - at least it relived the tension for ten seconds - cannot stop laughing....Wouldn't even have wanted him 10 years ago let alone now. Are we opening a donkey sanctuary at Staplewood?? ;-)

Not so sure it's such a good idea to let him go myself . Gets quite an unfair press at times and though not a 'flare' player you do need one or two of his type around and at least one in the team. Doesn't spray Hollywood balls around like some but is still as good as those we have that do IMO. Sad to leave, when you need to dig deep he's good to have around....

Well if Antonio plays against Fox we are in for a torrid night! 14 hrs left to sign a left back-please please can we sign a left back- Notts Forest have a good one I hear!!!!

More about CB and even more LB to be honest!
