If true, this helps us in no way what so ever. Bizarre.

We made serious bids for Hooper, so I don't think that is true. Unless we're doing it for a laugh with no intention to spending it!

Nah Upson barley players there. I think I read that as Upson being 'our' first choice option.

It looks like Collins has also failed.

I'd have thought it would have been the other way round. The players would need to come to us.

Grant Holt and Steve Morrison seem to be getting on just fine, and you wouldn't have classed them as players who could cut it in the premiership. The quality of teams at the bottom end of that league now is shocking, so any half decent player can make an impact.

SSN reporting that Collins has failed to agree personal terms. (according to twitter) Another one that bites the dust due to our wage structure. Fair play for us not wanting to break it, but if we want to progress further, we'll need to. Maybe it wasn't a loan afterall.

He was injured for a fair chunk of this season - so taking into account his goals per minute he's pretty prolific.

We did that for Gorrks and it bit us in the arse. We keep playing these games! Although we were fortunate Hoovield turned out to be the addition he was, but I don't believe he was ever first choice.

Jemal and Gorrks all over again etc...

Ok, maybe the collins deal has hit a snag. Now the twitter journo says so. What snags can a loan deal bring???

How does he justify that? Just because he hasn't seen him there??? I'd take more credence in Nixon and the other twitter journalists who all seem to think its happening.

Celtic have failed with a bid for Dundee United forward Johnny Russell, Sky Sports can confirm. they're after another forward....?

Something is afoot! I can feel it..

If it is - what a bloody window. Lee, Puncheon (in a way), Falque, Hoovield, Sharp, Collins....seriously, that's reinforcement for you. Let's hope the last 2 come to fruition.

I honestly don't think he's up to much. If he wasn't a ''saints fan'' I'm sure the majority wouldn't batter an eyelid.

Seen him on TV a couple of times (Well highlights) for Santos when he was linked with a big move - this is where one of the Milan clubs were speculated about. He's technically outstanding.

Yep, very good player. Was linked with one of the Milan clubs not so long ago. Bags and bags of pace.

Christ @ who WHU have signed. Quality player. That's a blow....

Results wise, not great, but off the pitch - what's the issue? Wait till these 2 days are up.

It's definitely quite a decisive week in may aspects. Transfer wise, and fixture wise. If we can get 4 points from the next 2 I will be chuffed. Any less and we'll be sliding.

I believe it's Jos that's out for the next 2/3 games, which is why we're looking for another left sided CB. All being well, Fonte should play on Tues.

Be interesting if we really have stalled on the Sharp deal as we felt we had a chance with Hooper. Let's hope that we don't end up with neither.

So does Adkins in terms of forwards tbf. Hooper, Hayes, Keogh, Sharp....all brought through/brought by him IIRC.
