Wade Garrett

Still odds on with SkyBet.

Left-back.

Story in The Sun could have been planted so punters use SkyBet to back it happening.

I reckon he'd fit right in to our style of play.

I think they're reporting that The Sun reported it.

Defoe, still got plenty of goals left in him.

Quite precise with the wages offered. Looks to me like he's trying to squeeze us. Think his agent has been using his media contacts this past 24 hours. If the stories are true, Cortese will walk away from this deal at the end of today. Big game of bluff going on at the moment.

Rickie played a bit last season behind Rodriguez, so the position isn't a new one for him.

Hope the club have a plan B to fall back on.

Decent post. Trawling through troll sh*t is part of the SaintsWeb experience these days.

I don't think Cortese will let this drag until the end of the window, in case it fails, then he's up the creek without an alternative. By the sound of it, he's offered good money to the lad. Now, I reckon it's a take it now or leave it job. Playing for Italy tonight, so no deal today, but an answer tomorrow.

I reckon we'll walk away from the deal if it's not done this week.

Wayne Bridge.

I don't think we'll wait much longer.

It's reliable.

Heard this morning that Cortese and one of the medical staff flew to Italy on Sunday. The club secretary didn't travel with them. Make of that what you will.

Don't sugar-coat it Turkish.

How do you know he doesn't want to come here. At the moment, it looks like he's playing the game to get better terms.

He is nowhere near good enough for Chelmsford.

Can Osvaldo play at the back?

Is he going to sign in the centre circle before today's game, like Bryan Robson signing for Big Ron at Old Trafford? Very classy.

Would we play him up top with Rickie?

The league table provides the most meaningful stat. The rest can be interpreted any way you want. Sometimes they are helpful, most of the time not. IMHO.

Very tacky.

Well done Barry. Your boring rhetoric has finally put you on my ignore list. Congratulations, you should be very proud.
