Nope, let's just keep Kelvin Davis for the next 20 years

3m does seem excessive. I think generally so you're not invading their personal space. Can't stand it when I'm at my desk and someone stands right next to me to chat to me, literally right in my face. 1.5m -> 2m I'd say. Good thread by the way.

When you say "over which player" - do you mean literally, over a player? If anyone's done that over Raidh Jaidi and lived to tell the tale, good on them. (I think)

I was there. 4-3 - know EXACTLY what you mean.

Threads are seeming fairly predictable, and samey of recent times, so thought I'd throw one in to spice it up a bit. Please answer the following questions for the lols: * Have you had a poo at St Marys? If yes: * Was it a good experience? * Any bad experiences (e.g. caught short with the toilet roll, missed a goal). * Rate your experience out of 10.

Yawn. Anyone can update Wikipedia.

I'm actually a fan of his. The only home league game he's started (versus Palace), he was probably our best player. Also, great bit of wing play, and cross, for our first goal. Needs more starts. Only so much you can do with fleeting 10 minute appearances

Billy Sharp??? I think I would spuff my pants if he signed today too.

Hopefully he brings some of that aggression onto the pitch!

YESSSS!!! Today's been a good day. Players coming back from injury, Lee signs, Puncheon back on the bus/boat/, suddenly the squad feels more formidable again

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2588592,00.html I know we have a 31 page thread - but he has actually now signed - deserves a fresh one!!!

Thank god for this. Nice one Jason, takes a big man to back down and apologise. Even better, hopefully this means I won't have to cringe anymore when seeing Lee Holmes being thrown on as an "impact sub"

Was under the impression he had a buyout clause of £1.85m, from memory. If that's the case, and we've bid £1.5 million, just shows we're not prepared to meet anyone's asking price, and thus we probably won't sign anyone.

We've played against plenty of teams this season that might consider themselves to have "bags of pace". We've come unstuck against teams that have pressed us all game and not allowed us to play. This, rather than a lack of pace, or being able to deal with pace, is the reason we've lost these games. Home against Brizzle, and having seen the Leciester game last night, both teams pressed us all game, gave us zero space, and that's why they've come away with victories. We need to learn to be able to beat teams that press us, rather than against teams that have pace.

I'm sure at some stage or other, we've all had a Le Tissier, a Pahars, or a Lambert on the back of our Saints shirt. Anyone have a Neil Heaney, an Ulrich Van Gobbel, or a Lee Holmes? Embarrass yourselves now!

Assuming from the discussion re: logistics of moving from Japan to the UK that he hasn't signed yet?

And presumably his fingers stitched together so he couldn't post on the forum?

I'm sowwy. One strike for me. Is this to say that any P*mpey related thread should also suffer a similar fate?

Afraid so. March yourself down to your local police station please.

I'd let him do worse things to me than that. Absolute legend

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-16631651 Doesn't shock me, given their disciplinary record.

Why on earth did West Ham think we'd loan them anyone??

And has signed for Hayes & Yeading http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/9476372.Former_Saint_Pele_joins_Hayes___Yeading/ Good luck to the lad

Ok, work permit approved, reports he's gone back to Japan to get his stuff, report in the echo today of an "exclusive" of a first interview in England.... however, has he actually signed on the dotted line? I couldn't see anything on the OS stating it was a 100% done deal.
