It looked really good, simplistic but effective. Good effort everyone.

I really like it, looks really smart in the flesh.

You crack me up! You will not lie down will you...

I think we can see that there a few children on this thread as well!...

It's not about getting up this year though, we'll give it a good go but I won't loose sleep if we fail. We'll be stronger next year.

People on here live in the world of football manager, where you build a new team ever year. In reality, it's never like that - but it must mean we're skint.

Yeah, adkins confirmed in his interview. ''Chambo trained with a smile on his face and is in the team tomorrow''

Well said Benji, call me deluded or whatever, but I also think he'll still be at the club for a while yet.

Puncheon.

Your loss IMO!

lol - pretty much!

Chambo is being influenced by outside sources....pretty much what Adkins said in the interview on saints player. He didn't really let onto much else, other than we have to look after the boy, he's dealt with it all well for a 17 year old etc.....but it did sound like a move was kind of imminent.

Doesn't look like it. Steve is being talked up as a player that can cover a ST position anyway...so we may have killed 2 birds with one stone on this one.

Work Permit will def. be needed if it's Jemal. We had to go through quite alot of hoops to get Jaidi's sorted...and he'd been playing in England for 3 years beforehand!

Sounds like the normal bog-standard auto reply.....that's all we'll get.

Yep, 2 cracking signings on the face of it. Improves the team straight away. Out of interest....which other teams were interested in the new fella?

What I like about him (from the youtube videos.....and I know you can't base everything on those!) is his tenacity...never giving up, seems to have a bit strength about him too which IMO will make it easier for him to slot into English football. Looks like he's got a good touch, decent pace...and I like the fact that he can operate equally as well from either flank by the looks of it. Some of his footwork is quality too...the poor full backs this year. Lallana one side...this guy or Chambo on the other. Good luck!

1-2m euro's according to some reports.

Yep, sounds like it is literately just a case of the player signing on the dotted line. Everything else has been done.

Nope, Puncheon

Yep good point. In that case, I've never heard of this dude before!

Wasn't he at brum? Don't think he ever made his mark there, but he came with some decent European pedigree with him. This isn't a replacement for Chambo, this is a replacement for N'Guessan who was a replacement for Puncheon etc

It's Jemal by the sounds of it then. quality.

Good player, but not sure why we'd need him..? He wouldn't join to be backup.

He won't go for any less though. We've not even had any bids for him, which is why I find all this a little messy now. If we'd rejected a bid from a top club then you could possibly understand his frustration, but he's trying his hardest to tout himself. (although I truly believe his dad is advising him to use the media in this way, skate ****)
