He doesn't need to be better by much, just enough to compensate KD's glaring weakness on crosses and not have that blind spot he seems to have on the near post.Just those 2 little things will cost us dear enough to mke whatever it is we have to pay well worth the cost.

but many just won't accept that, misplaced loyalty is one of Saints fans stock in trade.Davis isn't good enough to be a first choice keeper in the PL, fortunately the management seem to know that.

might explain why MU are bidding for Baines then,Moyes would probably be contractually bound not to approach Everton players afterwards .

Would Rodriguez have a chance of making the Olympic squad ? That might change a lot of things cos I suppose they'll be getting that together pretty soon and he might be a bit tied up for a couple of months.

would be a good move, Belgians are all the fashion nowadays,wonder how long it will take Chelsea to realise that Hazard isn't worth 40 million £ though.Anyone could look good in the French 1st division,it's a pretty poor league.

Probably

* Been watching the "Road to the PL" video..September, jeez was KD awful against Forest. Gifted them 2 goals and then should have been sent off and a penalty awarded against us,not the only occasion either, lost us the game at home to Bristol City amongst others.We will be crucified if we start with KD against good sides ithe Premier League, too slow,too badly positioned doesn't control his box and doesn't anticipate,surely it's number 1 priority.I'd take all that money we're supposed to be offering for Rodriguez and give it to Green(or someone like that) for a 4 year contract.

Wasn't a patch on the serialisation we had in the err late 70s though. Now that was Le Carré well done.To me the film version lacks depth,lacks volume.Alec Guinness ...now that was a George Smiley

well yes, they're both in the England squad and KD isn't.I do hope we get someone better than KD before the season starts.

more of an insult to your average nomadic caravan dweller I'd say

where and when did Holt go then ?

There's a piece on Holt on the BBC Sport site.Apparently Norwich told him he's too old for an extra year on his contract and that's about the root of the problem.He has 2 years left but he wants 3 now,no doubt with some more money as well.If Holt's too old I cant see them offering Lambert more money for a 2 year contract either..

FWIW Guly scored 3 after Christmas including the 2 that enabled us to beat Palace

but on a free? now if we could just get Leon Crouch to subsidise his salary we'd be in a win-win situation. Obviously with their French Armada in the middle o't park Newcastle don't need Guthrie.Pity we didn't go after the lad they signed to replace him,Amalfitano jr from Reims.They got him free and he's probably on about 5 bob a week as well.

and now?

How did we get on with that then?

If you believe all you read on the internet Liverpool were after him as well.Big mate of Suarez apparently.

He's probably hoping Everton will bid for him as well then in that case.

doubt it, he's an offensive midfielder anyway. Midfield "hardmen" no longer exist,the rules of the game have made them obsolete.

Isn't he out of contract at the end of June? It would be a straightforward Bosman and not a loan really.

Nice shirt

Not sure that he actually played a single game though, got injured in the reserves and then went on loan to Barnsley.

Just the average price hike(about 150£ I guess) on STs will bring in about an extra £2 million or so, double that because matchday prices will go up as well and you've got over half of a £7 million fee already.

What I'm trying to say here (and I get your sarcasm) is that the role that Sigurdsson players, left sided offensive midfielder and playmaker,is occupied in our team by Lallana, now if Lallana isn't perceived to be as good,nor as effective as Sigurdsson then perhaps he needs a kick up the backside because if you play both of them you're going to be lopsided..

Ever thought that we might not want Sigurdsson ?? It's not a case of competing with Swansea really,we have Lallana so really what would we do with Sigurdsson? Anyway he obviously likes playing for Brendan Rodgers and didn't get on particularly famously with Hoffenheim it would seem. Horses for courses and all that. I'm sure that whatever our targets actually are we'll get our men.
