I'd spunk £4 mill on him, I think Maynard is a decent player and could add a bit of pace to the side. £5 mill is a bit steep but it is due to the transfer climate as it is and the new uk player rulings thats what you pay. I do however think that both Barnard and Guly have a lot of potential to do damage in this division this year, but for me the jury is out for Lambert.

Obviously

A lot of teh Delgado 'fee' dissapeared into the pockets of others, and at a time when Forlan was available and willing for a modest 400k, but hey ho I had this conversation last night when discussing the possible clubs interested in Maynard, his fee I would suspect may be north of 4 mill, and as said last night, english players are pricey these days.

Its not always all about cold hard cash (though I would imagine it played a big part). Perhaps he wasn't thrilled about moving south ? Perhaps he wasn't promised to be first choice (I think a large part of the reasoning) ? Perhaps it was indeed money related. Either way I admire the fact that we are not throwing cash around at anything that moves and are trying to piece together a squad that hopefully has more ambition than greed. It would be nice to think we have other irons in the fire aswell. We have Lambert, Barnard and Guly on our books, all of which I think are very able strikers potentially in this division.

Still hoping its a sash

For me ST sales are the biggest indicator of a clubs support (although it has factors none more so than price) Walkups is a smaller indicator and is heavily influenced by social events and success on the pitch vs opposition.

Considering the amount of bans flying around I would imagine the forum will run pretty smoothly now..

FFS Hypo was a grade A bellend but all this banning is why I hardly post anymore Well done mods..... Its all to create a better forum experience.................

Good coach, nice bloke and well respected in the wider footballing community. Shame he has to go to that place down the road though.

Spot on. Also people who couldn't give a f*ck for their fellow man, I do hope they themselves are not found to be in a position of pay cut or no job as that really would be a horrible place to be in. If the rubbish is piling up bad enough to really put your life in a mix get up of your ars* and do something about it. If not and you have yet to take trips to the tip then surely its not worth moaning about it, especially when we are talking about people potentially losing their jobs. That said, if the binmen really have a choice out of pay cuts or redundencies I don't think they have made the right stand.

You are no Deppo GS

Having watched him play, I fully comend him for his attitude and his work ethic, however this is a step up and simply work alone does not make up for his technical inadequacies. All IMO of course.

I concur. Cork would be a decent signing if we were to use Schniederlin in a more advanced role such as he is accustomed with at the French under 21's etc. Otherwise we need a new CM that is capable of breaking forward aswell as defending. That of course is unless Chaplow gets back to the form we found him in during his loan spell. IMO Hammond will be out of his depth in the championship. Same could be said for many positions of course. You basically have Davis, Fonte, Lallana, Chambo, Lambert and perhaps Morgan as first choices. Hard to convince many players he will be first choice unless he is a lot better than we have, and they cost much more. That IMO is why we have seen no signings so far.

Quorn ?? Yeah the missus took to eating it during her health kick. Tried it, can't say I am much of a fan.

No its Danns

Quorn ??? No thanks

Danns would have changed the whole system that we play in order to accomodate him, and so, not so bothered.

I find that hard to believe

The only way Saints could drum up REGULAR crowds of up to 45k would be if we supplimented a stadium seat increase with a large amount of success and spending. Long term this is a possibility. But we are in the Championship for the first season under the Liebherr legacy, lets just wait and see what this season brings before jumping to conclusions.

As long as you got your lawnmower/hoover back...........

True I wonder if Tyson had already had his mind made up, he knew his contract was up and the transfer was sorted very quickly. Connolly is ok but about 78 years old, I can't see lambert having a great season TBH and Barnard will be hit or miss. Reckon Guly may do well though. No worries though, I fully expect to have Torres and Ronaldo up front next year.

Not really, you are confusing people with crimes. They are not labelled you know, I mean, how do you know ?? A burglar has a swag bag and a murderer is a person, mouth frothing carrying a bloodied bread knife I suppose ? So you walk down stairs and see the swag bag, wipe your brow. SOG - "thank f*ck for that.....thought you could be a murderer" Burglar - Hahaha "You silly old sod, I just came for your DVD collection of Judge Judy mate, hope your not making a coffee, I've got your Kettle" FFS
