Scott, if we signed Thomas Oar from Utrecht it's really going to screw with your OCD.

He just phoned Cortese and said, "I'm you're man!"

I said similar things towards the end of last season. Whilst most of our players seemed to improve with experience last year, I felt Adam did relatively little and seemed to ghost through the season, always being there but making minimal impact. He needs a big step up next year. He has gone from being one of out strongest players in the lower divisions to being one of the weaker players in our current starting 11.

What record? BWP was never convicted of anything.

Can someone please find a blurry picture of a black guy taken from a hotel window, so we can have a long discussion about the shape of his ear lobes. Thanks xxx

Beattie in the qualifiers, Saganowski in the groups.

Didn't some Danish people get in trouble for drawing Mohammed?

Guessing you are going with wiki. I'm going with Soccerbase which says he scored 2 in the Swiss League last year and 8 the year before (plus 3 for Zambia)

Not nessy celery. I wouldn't be surprised if we went for 2 attacking players. We've only really got Lambert and JRod, the rest aren't really up to it.

Young, quick, scores goals, based in Italy. Certainly ticks all the right boxes for a Saints transfer. I'd be happy to see him here, he looks like a much better option than Mayuka off the bench.

Vydra scored 24 in 51 apps last year. Mayuka scored 2 in 22 apps (both in the Swiss League) I'm sorry but there is no comparison for me there. Vydra every time. He may not get into the starting 11 but it's not just the 11 we need to think about. We need some first choice bench options, if that makes sense. At the moment Mayuka is probably our strongest 'let's bring on some pace up front' player and so far he hasn't proven that effective. So from that p.o.v. Vydra would be a significant improvement IMO.

Was driving oop norf late last night and the radio news bulletins seemed to be running a competition between each other to come up with the most pointless and irrelevant information possible. One station had some nutter call in just to say, "ooooh, they should call the baby Egbert hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Which caused the presenter to also burst into hysterics. Another station informed me that a pizza delivery service in Manhattan was running a 30% discount to anyone who used the promo code, 'Royalbaby1' when ordering online. Fascinating.

I think he would be an improvement in some cases. Certainly quicker than Lambert, with an equally impressive scoring record in the Championship as any of our strikers. Would probably be an improvement on Sharp and Mayuka. We've only really got 2 decent strikers and I wouldn't mind seeing 2 more. Vydra and Damiao would be a brilliant window.

Born on a full moon in a thunderstorm. Brilliant.

Is there an actual number we have to stay below? I thought it could be anything up to 99, after all Judy has #42 Shaw #3, Wanyama #14, Yoshi #15, Lovren #16, Isgrove #17, Mayuka #19 and Chambers #22 would all make sense. I'm guessing whichever striker we do eventually get will take #11.

Doesn't mater if he was on £70k a week here, he will only get what people are willing to offer.

W00T!!!

Depending on the formation we are 1 down in the attacking midfield/striker role. I'm guessing maybe Jrod or Guly will get the full 90.

Wanyama apparently on the bench.

Googled 'funny Ibiza' and this was about the 5th image which came up. Can't be a coincidence.

A transfer window is just the period in which a player can be registered. There is no restriction on selling as far as I am aware.

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.
