tbh I think QPR are doing some clever business and are taking their time over it.

It's apparently Fulham and WHU who are the clubs, not us.

Would imagine it does. Dickson isn't going to be anywhere near and will go as well I'd imagine. Shaw is too young for this year to be serious competition. Might suggest there is some truth in the Buttner deal being on again as I can't see us letting this one happen without something on the verge our side.

True. Fawaz AL Hasawi ‏@Fawaz_alhasawi Dan Harding has joined forest this morning from southampton .he is a 28 year old left sided defender. Echo everyone else really, will always have fond memories and will always welcome him back to SMS. Played a big part in where we are today.

It was outstanding.

Very doubtful

Didn't ever think he was the sort of CB for us. He's pretty awkward on the ball to say the least, and NA likes cultured CB's.

I'd do the same, if they didn't have Kean as manager, who is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

A completely stupid thing to say, which is so factually untrue. He was terrific for us in L1, and was part of the reason we're now in the PL. He's played a massive part in where we are and I'll appreciate what he did for us if he moved on, I'll fond memories of him for sure. Maybe you should try looking at all his performances again? Just an idea.

It's all very exciting, should allow us to keep growing now we're in the PL. (p.s - can a mod please edit the title as I've made a right mess of it)

We've got it..... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2862706,00.html

blimey, what painful, dull viewing this is. Might watch a soap.

Oh trust me, there would have been some threads started by the normal crew if we'd lost to Wednesday. Bit naive to think otherwise!

Because we want to play 4-3-3, with a narrow front 3, and there will be more reliance on the full backs to provide the width right down the line - and it's important they're full of pace as well, I'm sure of it. I would say this signing is an upgrade to Fox in that extent. Also explains why we're after a ''midfield'' enforcer type. It's risky as we'll get picked off by the better teams for sure, but it's exciting because we're going to go for it next year.

We want an attacking, adventurous full back without a doubt. We've got that with Clyne, and to an extend Richardson, on the right hand side.

Not sure what you expect, we're being linked with Lens who is top half quality without a doubt. Once Rodriguez, Clyne and Davis settle we will have 3 top 10 standard PL players in our team. All 3 of those are coups for a club of our current stature. I'm looking at who WHU have bought and I can't see anyone of any note, Reading have kind of followed the same route as us but lesser quality. Teams like Wigan have done diddly squat. Our business so far as been excellent, if you're not pleased with that then you're never going to be pleased.

Got to admire our ambition in going for him, but I don't think we'll secure it.

What exactly is your problem with any of this? All i can see is positive, positive, positive.

We've come a long way in an incredibly short period of time. Amazing progress really wen you think of it. Wasn't it a certain N'Gussan who provided the assist for the equaliser?

Not a bad team at all really, should give Exeter a good game.

Looking forward to seeing Clyne, and also Jay Rodriguez again. Was really impressed with him against Arsenal. I think this will give us a better idea of where we are, as Ajax are at the same stage, but still dangerous and too early to read too much into any end result

hope Barnard impresses..

Don't think so, I think they're just rehashing old stories to add a bit more beef to the article. That interest finished when we bought Jay Rodriguez, It was always a case of 1 or the other.

I think we need pace on the flank, and he won't give us that. Good player, yep, but I think we need to spend our money on someone with a bit of pace - and I think adkins thinks the same..
