Yes

Agree.

Stoke sign Butland. £5m cash. Goes back to Brum on loan for rest of season. Very good signing

Anyone else get constant buffering? on BT Infinity so definitely not a speed issue here.

What's the situation then CL? Be interested to know what's going on and where you got the info. PM? Cheers.

I'm a Fox fan but Fox out and someone like Martin Olsson in.... Potential chance of player + cash deal with Blackburn as well? That would be a very good piece of business in this window!

Now that is clutching at straws! He knew Forren was coming in. It was a club signing, not an Adkins or Pochettino one. That deal was already done and in place before Pochettino was appointed.

alex_crook: Pochettino on Coutinho: 'I am not too disappointed or upset not to get him. I knew there was a small chance to sign him.' #saintsfc #lfc alex_crook: Pochettino also hinted #saintsfc would not be busy in final days of transfer window saying 'I am very happy with the quality of my squad.'

He's constantly undermining Cortese. Look at his past tweets if you have the time. I bet he knows nothing, just does it to 'support' his old man.

I dont take any notice of him. He's the biggest ****** and **** stirrer of the lot.

@SimonPeach: It seems The Sun have not spoken to Cortese. Sky Sports News at #SaintsFC every presser so can't complain about their access. So is the interview in The Sun a different one then?

Good news. Although I wanted to see him here, I am extremely pleased to see the club not paying over the odds and are moving onto other targets (e.g Astori - Forren and now Coutinho - ?) Rather this policy than the QPR 'throw whatever money it takes to get him signed' policy.

Reckon 1 could be Cortese.

I'm not reading into it but I saw it and it does make you wonder. Team and everyone else still out in Barca but communication officer flies back early, presumably with Tom Coull (cameraman). Curious? EDIT: Also photographer has flown back @Wattsypics: Back in England after a very encouraging few days with squad in Spain. There looking hot! Very impressed with new set up #saintsfc

Haha! I was just about to post this! Classic! :lol:

Gotta be Forte to Huddersfield which will then fuel speculation Adkins is set to be named new boss!

Don't be surprised to see this one happen. All in all, a good deal for both clubs. Gets his wages off the books and gives him the game time he deserves.

@tancredipalmeri: Many asking on a Tottenham bid on Coutinho. So far had no confirmation of that

Eurosport (Sky 410) on now 14;45.

Nothing new but on Sky Sports transfer clockwatch this morning online:

@alex_crook: Looms like Astori is a red herring for #saintsfc only being mentioned to spark bidding war between Italian clubs

According to a Mirror article, Cortese actually told Lallana before telling Adkins!

Same here.
