Hah, great start, Bird gets a wicket in the first over, Durham 0 for 1. May be we can limit them this time.

Out until he's at least fit and then gets a club actually. Difficult situation for him. Still being an out of contract player might get him a sudden contract when some club or other finds themself struggling between transfer windows. If not.. MLS

Think it will be the year that Arsenal finally fall out of the Top 4, replaced by Liverpool or Spurs. Very poor recrutement by the Arse so far, why they've sold Monreal suddenly, well who knows. Saints 9th or 1Oth Any 3 from about 5 or 6 to go down.

On the way out I expect.

to be honest and fair I don't think he looked any better or any worse that Stekelenburg last Saturday.

Well to be fair he only played half of the game, LvG changed the whole side at half time and Utd were less dominant afterwards. Saw a replay on Be In sports this morning..

Vitesse then

Not the sort of place we'd want to go with only a few kicks about and a much changed group of players. We want somewhere not too far away and with a shîte team. Think about Portsmouth level.... Any possible destinations where visas would be required? Those aren't good either.

Best to avoid Vitesse I think, Chelsea reserves and work permit awaiters isn't it.

You'd have to go back to Cork's dad's tweets to verify that. Can't remember myself, seemed to wish to keep the whole world bang up to date on the situation. I think he even hinted that the 3 million we all believe we got for him was nowhere near the real figure; more like 1.5 million.

If they're replacing Suarez with Motta they'd be on the + side of the ledger. Suarez's problem is that he is a card magnet, think he got about 15 last season. Nigh on every game.

Would be pretty handy, know Charleroi well. Fancy Cyprus myself though.

Didn't say which day though. When I was at Uni we had a puerile saying of "tell you on Wednesday"...the right Wednesday never came as a rule.

Dutch Alex Crook then!!

Undoubtedly, although the maths doesn't look quite right.

Looked not too bad until they got after Vince and Arafat.....

Tour lasted one hill or so it would seem...

Thought he only wanted to play in Italy.

Still the other lot are 39-3 off of about 6, not lost yet if we can bowl decently.

Weak ? Perhaps not, always ready not to turn down a good price for a player we see as easily replaceable with one at a lesser cost...perhaps.

Well to be fair he was kind of atrocious in the first game and got dropped for the other 2. Needs to step up to the plate for Saints straightaway this season or be loaned out to gain in leadership and responsibility.

Doubt if we'll sign any more keepers, we have 4 already, that's already a bit too many to name in a 25 man squad. If Frazer definitely won't be ready before January we'll probably not name him if we have a ful complement of 25 though.

Preferably one who'll qualify for a work permit though. WPs are something that those outside our shores just do not understand.

We don't need just a physical DM...we need one with enormous talent and good physique. We could simply get another Victor but it wouldn't hep us overmuch.

Anyway apparently Hugo has had a fractured wrist these last 3 weeks and they're confident he'll be back by the season opener.
