very good ! keeping it on track.

Oh dear ! First night in Southampton, hope this is not a scandal to break out re smuggling two older women or geishas into the hotel.At least get established in the team before hitting the tabloids and Echo for the wrong reason.

I recognise five of them by name , although not sure I'd recognise their faces - or other body parts in some cases - if shown in the paper.

Think he had a rift with Lennon earlier in the season, so they might want to move him on. Not that keen as he does seem as said above a "poor mans AL".

Groves was of course a Branfoot signing. Alan Ball clearly did not share Branfoot's vision of how the game should be played, or that Groves was worth picking up his salary whilst permanently injured.

Sorry - genuine typo will change that before one of the easily offended brigade take issue !

not in the Bridle Suite then with his WAG ?

Hope his skills do for Japanese football, what Eric Canterna did for the French (see Neal Trottman loaned out in L1 again if anyones interested)

I too have come round to this conclusion. A month ago,I thought we might sign "better", and with greater potential, but now feel Sharp could make an impact immediately, Tadanari Lee - hope it is a spectacular success - but with work permits, acclimatising etc, it seeems too great a risk,and expectation of him.

Tadanari could be a good signing and become our mane attraction.

with Saints though, I've a nagging suspicion it might.

Unlike signing Rodriguez at £5m, at least this bloke won't leave us saddled with a huge debt

Thought Templeton the outstanding wing prospect at Hearts.

Good, but not yet on the bus or in the building ?

Good commercial move then. Sign a player from Japan, with popstar wife to really generate interest in the Japanese/Korean market. http://www.koreanmovie.com/Ayumi_is_in_love_with_J_League_soccer_star_news3995/ Sushi-spice ? Lets really hope this lad can play football.

Why not put in on here if its worthwhile ?

Perhaps we could sign McCarthy their young GK as well then.

Need him this season now for a promotion push.

I can't see Reading letting him go to be honest.

Did that finish 11 v 11 ? How the hell did the Chinese GK remain on the pitch after that assault on the striker (c2minutes in) ? It might be argued that the last defender was behind the GK at the time, but leaving aside the 'professional foul' it brought the concept of 'foot raised' to a new level. Reminded me of Schumaker (was it?) in Germany v France WC semifinal 1982.
