I think a sub forum which is only open during the transfer windows would be a great idea. Alot of the other main club forums do this, and it tidy's up the main board tbf.

Can't really say, haven't seen much of him at all so I'm not sure what sort of player he is. I think he can also play wide from his spells on loan. Doubt he'll get much of a chance here tbh.

He'd be a decent squad player though, quite like him as a player tbh.

Yep, he's ours. signed a 2 1/2 year deal in Jan, fee around 1m euros apparently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/9367993.stm

I do know where you guys are coming from, and I'd also feel a bit ****ed off. But this is one of the most exciting periods in our history, and I'm sure you'll be back to watch us next season even for the odd 1 or 2 games. We were owned by ''fans'' of the club before and look where that put us. At the end of the day I prefer being run as a business as such, rather than having people on the board running it from their hearts.

is it online anywhere DD?

Just seems such a bizarre thing to do, as a poster with no history of WUM posts, and it's not even an obvious rumour to make up.

really odd thing to make up, obviously he'd heard it but maybe Solent were barking up the wrong tree and retracted the story quickly.

We should be aiming for Phil Jones or Chris Smalling IMO.

Swansea fans who have watched him for the last 5/6 years totally disagree with you.

Swansea fans don't think it'll happen:

Doubt he's got much chance of playing in the premiership now, but there's nothing wrong with him at this level.

Why aren't you sure? http://forum.planetswans.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96267&hilit=gary+monk swansea fans really rate him

great signing...will be good to have him back. Has been a rock for Swansea in recent years

They will all be used in some way or another, just as they were last year. I expect we'll go 4-5-1 in some games, 4-4-2 in others etc

Pretty much, the outcome of our entire season will be decided on the outcome of the first couple of games. Like it was last year, and the year before.

We did have a brilliant defence last year tbf, and it wasn't just the CB's - it's the whole team. I'd like to see a pacey CB signed to partner fonte in an Ideal world, but I'd be more nervous if I was a P'boro fan going into the championship with the same defence.

I reckon it's probably over £1m initially, rising to around £3m on promotion/appearances/international games etc. It sounds like we set our stool out nice and early though and put a bid down that we knew wouldn't have been easily matched.

Pahars pre-injuries.

Check this defence - Ostlund, Bennett, Makin, Vignal - Started against Palace at home, 1-4. Now when you start a season with that it's time to worry, but really we've got nothing to worry about at the moment.

AFC Totton On July 7th 2011, Jutkiewicz signed for AFC Totton for a fee in the region of £11.6m on a 33 year deal.

jackcork1 Didn't say I didn't like it at Chelsea. Had some good times there. Just saying burnley gave me some great memories. And excited for future 42 minutes ago jackcork1 Thanks for all the messages everyone. And thanks to all the support from burnley fans. More of a home club than Chelsea has ever been to me.

Stop being a predictable WUM.

West Ham fans are a bit gutted too:

I think we'd miss out on half of his game with him stuck back there, Similar to how we messed around with Surman and Skacel. He's a CM and i'd hope to see him play there 90% of the time.
