Just back from the game. Thought we were carp in parts, but once we went 2-1 up things picked up. Unlucky not to score more. Also think Lambert is class. w00t w00t w00t!

Radio Solent

A google search shows Osasuna and Real Mallorca were interested in him last month? And he comes to League One? Brilliant bit of convicing done by someone I think!

My grandma and your grandma, Were sittin' by the fire. My grandma told your grandma; "We're gonna set this league on fire." Talkin' 'bout: Hey now! Hey now! Papa Waigo N'Diaye

I'd be more worried if we conceded goals on 4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42

Sounds about right. On the BBC website he is quoted as saying "I will play for three years and then we'll see what happens." (or words to that effect) Struck me as strange, why sign a 5 year contract when you're only planning on playing for 3.

Can Tunisians not get French passports? (or am I confusing with Algeria?) Because that would knock the need for a work permit on the head.

On another article on their site it states they're negotiating with Norwich so that he can't take any U's players to Carrow Road this season.

http://www.cu-fc.com/page/News/0,,10424~1759520,00.html Colchester Chariman speaks out about Hammond's move to saints.

Yes he did, but I think that was because he is a) a loan signing and b) they were saving other numbers for signings 6, 12, 14 are the other numbers available. :cool:

No, it broke on the Chelsea OS first.

"Jacob Mellis has this morning joined Southampton on loan, staying with the League One club until January 2nd, with an option to extend the deal for the entire season if all parties wish." Source: http://www.cfcnet.co.uk/2009/08/14/mellis-becomes-a-temporary-saint/ The article goes on to say: "It’s a traditional step to take for a player in his third year at the club, and one Jacob probably needed to have the opportunity to do. After excelling at reserve team level towards the end of last season, a further spell at this level with the transfer window closed wouldn’t have aided his development. Chelsea have a good relationship with Southampton, loaning them Jack Cork last season and allowing them to sign Jack Saville in April, and with Dean Wilkins - brother of Ray - in place as Assistant Manager at St. Mary’s, relations are becoming stronger." "In terms of playing time, he’ll have a chance to make an impact, but with the team recently spending over £1m on Rickie Lambert, they may be looking to spend further before the end of August, and that will truly decide whether he plays often or not. He’s arguably good enough to prove useful to them, but now is the time for him to prove it."

It's good, but it's not right...

That sounds about right, especially when on the Rovers OS they said they'd been negotiating to get the best deal for the past few days.

Making attendance predictions for next years friendlies already? Don't get too far ahead of yourself!

Anyone who uses twitter, do a search there for #saintsfc to get all the latest chat etc on Saints I know several users here now also converse on there.

can you stop quoting other people on this thread - I keep seeing new posts and expect to see good news about the demise of the pompey few!

Thankyou Mr Liebherr!

Agreed, the old board didn't know how to run the club. That's why no-one liked them. They messed up, now someone's come to help out. How is that a disgrace? I just see a jealous ****!

Not your day is it?

No, you're not.
