Katalinic

One of my favourite Saints players - will never forget his emotional send off, a stark contrast to some of our recent "heroes" who couldn't care less about the club and couldn't wait to leave.

When I saw the OP I was really hoping that this would be about an upgrade to the PA system or improved catering....until these things happen I refuse to be positive about the Saints.

I get it, we are signing Blind

Are you related to ART?

I can see Boruc going and us getting in a competent cheap option who would probably be ok playing the reserve goalkeeper role - like Matt Jones at Belenenses who we were linked with in June.

I think its more a reference to the sinking of the Belgrano and The Sun headline at the time.

Maybe going forward we should base our entire transfer policy on watching a player in one game. Or in Forster's case we could trust the judgement of the England goalkeeper coach who has worked with him at close quarters and can make a professional judgement in respect of his relative strengths and weaknesses.

Sounds like this board - "oh xyz is leaving, good he is crap (even though he isn't)"

Twitter rumour that Forster fee agreed £10m:https://twitter.com/celticrumours/status/497788074152456192 The person tweeting seems to have some credibility on the Celtic boards.

It doesn't. You use multiple log ins for a reason.

I am not convinced that the board are that sophisticated.

Samaras and Schelotto can have a "hair off" in the dressing room to entertain the other substitutes.

You are welcome

We won't know if he is a good signing until he has played. I wouldn't bank on finding informed opinions on the forum either.

No, let's write him off before he has kicked a ball for us, that is the Southampton way.

He all but confirmed it, along the lines of he would add quality to the squad, must be close.

If this is true then the club could do worse than come out and tell us - most sensible minded people with a concept of commerciality would understand it - it is the silence that is deafening and fuelling the conspiracy theories.

It's football fans natural reaction to good players leaving their club - pretend they weren't actually that good really, even though they were.

Yep agree. And if it is for 7m, or 12m for that matter then it is a joke.
