Carlton Palmer is the one that immediately springs to mind. Who knew he would be so good, at least for a season.

Mine was Keegan without question. I even remember it got mentioned at school in morning assembly the next day....and that was in Weymouth !!! Always remember getting home from school the day he signed and Dad saying to me "If Southampton were to sgin anyone who would you want it to be?" The only name I could come up with was Trevor Francis and he said "No son, better than that" !! The one signing Saints have made where I can remember exactly where I was and how I heard the news.....I guess that qualifies as a WOW signing

Yes but as someone has just said its in his interests to do so. If he impresses and gets into the squad will he revert back to his old self, job done ? Like I said I dont trust him and would be wary of his motivation.

If we bring in another forward or midfield player who has pace and can play out wide then no. If we dont sign anyone like that then he could well make it into the 25. Personally I wouldnt take the risk, you cant trust the guy.

So he did.....just testing to see who is keeping up

Lallana not featured at all then !

I couldn't agree more. If that prat Pearce doesnt pick him when the Olympics start then no way is he going to be as fit as the rest of the players. Sooner they get knocked out the better IMHO.

I have just been sent an apology e mail for the errors of yesterday and can confirm the price has gone up by £2 to £37.99.

To send them Forecast on a season long loan is taking the ****. Here is a man who wasn't good enough for Eastbourne Borough......I feel sorry for them

Well if he goes back on loan then at least we know there is another keeper signing coming up !

As he said yesterday he isnt the club secretary.......dont want him to waste his third post btw :-)

how on earth have we managed to beat the three Northern clubs to this guy ? Perhaps there is a Puncheon "i cant live too far from London" thing going on !!

Its nothing at all, its a loan.

Its just a season long loan at this stage.

From our point of view I hope so :-)

shame their manager is clueless.....well to be fair probably another of those "excellent coach" but no good as boss types that we know so much about !

thats the bit I wanted to see, a couple of centre halves !

I liked Adam Hammill.....there I've said it oh and Belmadi - the midfield guy who played in the Championship for us when Redcrapp was here.

Not really concerned no. Davis K, Davis S, Cork, Chaplow, Fox have Prem experience. I will be a little concerned if the new centre half hasnt got experience or is a bit older than the players we have signed so far. I think of all positions centre back and keeper are the ones where you need a bit of knowledge of the league you are in.

He appears to be taking his time.....how many years so far has this circus been going on ?

You can see why the club never announce transfers or transfer targets until everything is signed and sealed cant you ? All this excitement on here about a new signing and it may not happen.

I prefer to think of him as some old gent living deep in the heart of the New Forest who has probably come to a computer as the original silver surfer. He likes the simple things in life and cannot get his head around anything more than the basics of football....at a push. He thinks his musings on signings, style of play, the manager and Cortese are both refreshingly different and ground breaking. He knows what he wants, he knows what he likes.....he just hasnt got a ****ing clue about real life :-)

What a wonderful ride we have been on in the past 3 years. Thankyou Markus

That "idiot" as you put it is Nick Halling.

Yes its a double disc set for £17. Disc 1 is all the goals from 2010/11 and runs for just under 1 hour. Disc 2 is all the goals from 2011/12 and runs for just over an hour. Bonus footage is 33 mins of highlights of the Coventry game plus dressing room celebrations and celebrations on the balcony plus Solent's interviews with players. Not bad actually.
