Ralph on Austin... Fits our current needs Been on our radar by a few months. Lots of info on him by our recruiting team Been wanting to enhance the number of English players he is yet to reach his prime has huge hunger to reach his best and has huge desire to play for national side He was our No.1 target for this window and ticks every box we want players who want to grow with the club a lot of player we signed have been under 24 years old and now right to bring in a player his age we believe he will push us up the league conversations with the manager are regular and nothing has changed the plans we have here are big but it has been tough recently depth of the squad is really important, it cost us dearly this time last year we expect to finish top half of the league but you never know we are now pleased with the depth of the squad and have good options it would be ideal to keep everyone from now it stands today that no one will leave but we can never say never we need to re-group and nothing is a given this window

Long to liverpool could be a possibility. Hope we dont lose anyone

No. 28

Says he was happy to wait till the summer to move but when realised we were in for him, wanted to get it down asap. move closer to home and for a club that turned his head cant wait to get going scored a few goals against saints in the past personally, I think he is miles better for us going forward than Pelle. I really hope this does not mean long will leave

This is the sort of signing to get you excited. well done saints. brilliant signing

what numbers are free?

£4m for an English striker, 26 years old who scored 18 premier league goals last season in a relegated side what the hell is not to like. Great bit of business for real quality

Just wait for his exclusive!!!

Jan 15 - Jan 16 we got 42 points from 38 games a fair amount of time to judge if we are have been largely good or not. is 42 points a decent return over a seasons worth?

you would expect to sell long for nothing short of £12m. if he was to leave

26 i think

18 premier league goals last season? That would cost £30m in most cases Long cost £12m and he will get you 8 goals a season

Why on earth would Austin limit himself to saints by signing now but not moving till the summer? Not as if we would do that either.

Why would Austin sign for us now but not move till the summer. Nah, be to play at United onwards

I would agree. But when K Billy speaks. Usually comes off

I would be amazed if it was not to sign now. Seeing as we struggle to score goals

Awww exciting. More like it

then a couple of deniers some people were in a bit of denial at the start of this thread. Even suggesting we should sit round the table to talk it out it's only going to get worse in Europe some more info to digest http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3400972/German-town-cancels-annual-carnival-fears-Cologne-style-sex-assaults-women.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3400724/Switzerland-copies-Denmark-forces-migrants-hand-possessions-help-pay-upkeep-claims-10-wages-earn-ten-years.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3400783/Group-Syrian-Afghan-migrant-boys-sexually-assaulted-three-girls-Austrian-school-MONTHS-police-notified.html

looks like swansea are a good bet for the drop

Todays offering http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3400842/German-leisure-centre-ban-migrants-schoolgirl-sexually-assaulted-public-swimming-pool-Syrian-teenagers.html

Ramirez Stekelenburg caulker gone.....thank fuk who else? someone please tell me davis is!

Pelle we start at the expense of either mane or long centrally. You know it, I know it

who will no doubt be CBs playing in those positions. Pulis likes a central defender in his full back positions

Just seen the highlights of the swansea game. Sorry whitey, your biased towards the refs each week is rather bizarre on this occasion

in case someone needed to contact him? not a big ask is it. Have a little rest but leave your phone on
