Interesting from Saint_lambden. My view on this:

Thanks for that.

But in truth is more likely to spend six months of the season on the treatment table...

Is this 'serious' speculation?

Christ, that did the rounds in 2006 .

Olly ?

Turkish, recalling your sensitivities to the issue, just make sure her kids are not ginger first.

Is she ginger as well ? Is your real dilemna that you want her to die her hair ginger but are afraid to ask her ?

That is a bit of a disappointment as I always hoped we might have lured him back here.

I can think of at least one referee who would probably have missed it, and I think he might be from Uruguay as well).

Not always been a fan of him but it seemed to me his presence in South Africa was potentially beneficial,as the squad were likely to respect him - as far as any of the overpaid prima doona tossers can 'respect' any other living person - and when he was seen on camera he seemed to display some semblance of caring and calling out of instruction.That was a damned sight more than Mr Cornetto or the morose and inarticulate Pearce could muster. As for today,he was at Wimbledon on a day out with his son.Good luck to him. Shame Beckham did not wave a flag of St George when the rat faced caber tosser lost.

*lets just hope its not sories of Pardew "coming out" then in the Sunday tabloids instead.

I'm sure he is a good reserve, but I'm not convinced that I want to rely on him as a medium term replacement if KD had a dip in form or was injured for say 6-8 weeks.

So that at least proves that 1)He is still alive - or at least he was when you saw him - and has not been murdered and buried under a patio (Sorry,it must be a Gloucester thing!) 2)As he was in London he was probably on his way to or from Harrods to meet the Arab about the Fulham job.

Not sure I would want to even consider Forecast or Holmes as squad players and Wotton may be a(nother) season beyond it. GK:I'm not convinced I want to rely on Bart as back up tbh. FB: well documented that this area (rb)needs improving CB: yes need one more; Jaidi cannot play twice a week ,Martin is inexperienced and the jury is out on Seabourne MF:I didn't realise we were so short in this area,although I'd include Lallana here. Strikers: ditto as MF.

Without Cortese we might not have had a future. As others have pointed out the OS article is dated from May 2009,so I'm not prepared to use this as a stick to join in and beat Cortese with it.Yes,I would like the names of former greats to remain but somewhere here someone is being selective in their presentation of "facts". I also think the Ambassadors Suite is a good idea,as for football fans the prospect of meeting and hearing former greats is a major attraction in the package offered.I'm surprised if the club do not want to endorse this concept.

Both Huddersfield and Peterboro have been active recruiting. Having said that we have a strong nucleus of a squad so are perhaps looking at specific positions and am hopeful that the quality of player we are seeking might make it a more complex deal to complete.The players Huddersfield etc are signing might only be on the fringe of our squad wheras we need a couple to go into the first team to make a difference.

Are'nt memberships due for an announcement today ? Perhaps I'll have to wait until 11.25pm though.

A promising goalkeeper who might be available - on loan at least - is Ruddy at Everton who I understand was quite impressive on loan at Motherwell last season. Hope KD remains however.

Brighton also recruiting three for midfield,including two Argentinian players.Lets hope they are as successful as our South American imports. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/8772235.stm
