You can sell players outside the transfer window.

I think we need to find a striker with strength and pace. Lambert has one, JRod has the other but a big powerful monster in the Lukaku mould wouldn't go amiss.

Probably just trying to build up a bit of support before the next general election.

Were we crazy to dismiss Bossingwa last summer? A Chelsea player and a Champions League winner, surely he should have walked into our team. Personally I think there are better targets out there within our reach. I've never seen Quagmire play so I'll leave it to the scouts but people are right to be wary of a 30 year old with injury problems and a patchy scoring record.

If anyone is interested, Lens was subbed off at half time on his Dynamo Kiev debut after failing to make much impact against Volyn Lutsk. 'Quick but didn't do much' seemed to be the general verdict.

It seems Luke goes to the same barber as Danny Fox. Oh dear.

That's probably on par with shows like Lizard Lick Towing, Storage Hunters, Amish Mafia and Rat B*stards on TV at the moments. Rat B*stards is my personal favourite.

The point I was making is that bringing in these foreign signings isn't really compromising our young English talent. Puncheon isn't really young any more which leads me to believe he is probably as good as he is going to get.

Not really, we still have all of the decent young English players from last season and most of them will be pushing for a first team place. The players who look likely to be pushed out of the side are the likes of Guly, De Ridder, Hooiveld, Fox, Fonte and Puncheon. 5 of those aren't English and at 27 Punch isn't exactly up and coming. I think the only young English player who may lose out at the moment is Cork but he will get plenty of game time. Shaw, Clyne, JWP and Rod will continue to play and hopefully improve.

Your point being? That wont be our squad next season. 2 or 3 more decent signings and it will be in with a very good chance. We wont have to be world class to finish above Everton, Swansea or West Brom next season.

Fair enough but there will be a small minority willing to get outraged at anything. It's not just Saints fans, I wouldn't pay much attention TBH.

Where? I've just had a flick through this thread and the general consensus seems to be, 'what a muppet, he could lose his job for that, although I'm not all that bothered.' I don't think anyone is demanding he gets sacked, apart from a couple of posts in over 100.

Or even just Ted.

Calling your customers scum isn't the cleverest idea in the world. Recording it and posting it on YouTube is just a little bit 'special'. The only real concern here is that these chaps might show the same lack of professionalism and intelligence in their actual building work and someone ends up getting hurt. Let's hope their supervisor has half a brain cell.

Only aircraft I've ever seen with bird strikes on the back.

I flew into Girona yesterday, thunderstorms everywhere. Looks like it has improved a bit since then.

Henry, with the middle name Paul.

I suspect our first 11 may not include Lambert next season. We seem to be looking at some pretty hefty signings to lead the line and JRod is also up and coming. Don't think Lallana would be in my first choice team either. A front 6 of something like - - - - - Cork - VW Ramirez - Morgan - JRod/Lallana - - - - - Osvaldo/Damiao/Other delete as applicable

King Wayne has a good ring to it, so I'll go with that. For a girl I'll take a guess at Harper 7.

It's really hard to see a happy ending in this for Gazza. The guy just doesn't have the will power or the mental strength to get himself out of it. If nothing else hopefully his downfall will act as a warning to younger people who think it's cool to go out and get continuously smashed every night. In most of the photos I've seen of Gazza in the last year or so he looks like a man in his 60s. Have you guys still not figured it out yet? He will post ANYTHING for attention. ANYTHING.

Pacman Frogs mean business.

Players don't care about history. As much as they like to trot out the, "this is a great club with great fans and a great history," line whenever they sign for a new club, all they actually care about is money and how likely they are to be competing towards the top of the table for a Champions League spot. That is the advantage Spurs have on us at the moment, they are more likely to get into the top 4 next year with our current squads. On the other hand, they didn't make the CL places this year and have a larger wage bill to service. As a result they might have less money to spend on new signings, possibly handing us an advantage.

No, they should treat him as a man with mental health issues because he is a man with mental health issues. Sadly it may well be too late to help Gazza now, his problems might have gone beyond the point of no return. I couldn't say without knowing him personally but I think the time to help him was 20 odd years ago. Someone should have kicked his arse in gear and sorted him out when he was younger, instead of going out on the **** with Chris Evans and Danny Baker every night.

Normally I don't have a lot of sympathy for alcoholics but with Gazza I think things are a bit worse. He has had numerous mental health issues for a long time and his alcohol problems have spilled largely from that and making some poor friend choices in his life. He isn't just some p*ss head like Best or Winehouse.
