He certainly did talk him up.

The Maidstone mole. Well-known in footballing circles.

Fair summary, though the Monaco forums don't really see him as your hold-the-ball-up type of target man who you can rely on in deeper positions or away from home. He's much more dangerous aerially in the box which is a good thing given our tendency to cross.

Just seen that post.

Reported on Sunday on the Monaco forum: "Pour ceux qui voyaient son absence comme un signe de départ, pour ce que ça vaut Jardim à annoncé après le match qu’il était blessé aux ischios". Basically translates as: For those who see his absence as a sign he's leaving, worth noting that Jardim (the manager) stated after the game he was injured with a hammie.

Could be but the manager was quite specific about the player's injury.

Has a hamstring injury at the moment, so timing of the deal is less critical. Doubtful he'd start straight away, even if we wrapped up the deal earlier.

You hounded out Puel; you're trying to hound out Pellegrino. What happens if the next manager doesn't deliver, Adrian? Hound him out too?

Perfectly relaxed but when do saints always get their business done last minute? Our aim generally is to get our business done early - something that Les likes to publicise.

You mean CBs?

Never bring a paedo to a rape fight.

Not sure Palmer said anything of note on VVD. His articles were always a tease -promised a lot but basically said very little.

For someone with such a good deadball, he's not particularly creative or incisive with his range of passing.

37 points sounds reasonable - how many points did 18th get?

What did you have the Swansea, WBA, Newcastle, West Ham games down as?

He has a fancy setpiece run-up?

What do you mean by most technically adept?

How about groups like the Institute of Directors? Am not going to float the case that critiques of the Euro are exaggerated - bit above your paygrade, little fella.

Hamstring injury.

B*****ks. Why shouldn't we look to others? There are no style points.

Brighton is the most winnable game we have left this season. No excuses.

When 37 points is probably enough to stay up, anytime a team gets 3 points is massive. That's one-fifth of the points we need. People forget we've won only four games all season.

Holy s**t

Against the euro?
