I think it's Italian bullying tactics to say you need to stump up the cash otherwise you are not having him. Just wish we had a second option to tell them they can shove it up yer arse.

Drodba once. Read he was sat in the office ready to sign but we did not push on with it. Ha ha got to laugh.

Saints hope to wrap up the deal for the Italian striker according to sky sports just now. 13.4m up front riding to 17m on goals scored. Has agreed personal terms already.

Who thought the person joining the goal celebrations was Puel? I thought at the time, trainers?!?

Ha ha Bertrand had Milner in his pocket all night.

Well done every one of you as your voices were heard from the very start. IMHO you lifted them from the off, Safe journey home guys.

Ha ha very true.

I think Saints will need to get two CB deals over the line before it's announced that VVD is out for 3 months. Ching, Ching springs to mind when Saints come calling in desperation.

I'm surprised nobody has made an approach for that Chelsea CB that was recently on loan at Bournemouth.

I'm curious, what cream puffs does she buy?

Having a dip Liverpool. We should take the game to them on Wednesday from the off as they are nervous at the moment.

He cant go any further as Klopp said he will never play again. What does worry me is he is 2 months away from match fitness.

You will find the agent knows what we are willing to offer and they negotiate around it once a fee is settled. If we say £55k and they want £120k then it would of been dead in the water ages ago.

You would not accept the Fonte deal if you have not got this one over the line or close too. I expect the only sticking point was the fee rather than the wages as these are discussed upfront with the agent.

His left foot is ****

And if VVD got injured on Sunday? Not a chance would we survive with Yoshi, Gardos and Stephens.

Tell them if they refuse Saints will no longer be a feeder club to them. (I wish)

Also love the way the official celebrated the goal too so he would not have to do another 30 minutes.

Thats the highlights!!!

I think the January transfer market is too slow because nobody wants to show their hand too early. Clubs know we are desperate for a striker and Reed will never pay over the odds for anyone. Think it's going to drag until the last few days of the market which is a shame as we would of played something like 10 games in January alone.

Interested in Sakho too who has not played either. Look how long it has taken us to get Boufal up to scratch? Why can't we make a signing where they can walk into our team and help us reach another level. Everything is a gamble these days.

He probably has been but I expect the sticking point Is he won't pay over the odds.

When you think about the goals we are not scoring anymore then you can see why we are struggling. Those Mane ones where he outpaces the last defender as slots it in the bottom corner (too many of his like that to mention) Then you have those great powerful headers from Pele plus the swivel/turn and bang out of the keepers reach. Jayrod has managed it just once at Bournemouth while Long has not done it once all season. The only two strikers goals we have scored other than Boufals vs Sunderland and Boro is Bertrand and Jayrod in the Bournemouth game. We fluff far too many chances as they are not clinical and composed anymore.

Striking the ball is a work of art and I can't understand why they have never brought in Le Tissier or Beattie to teach them. Our guys either lash it, Scuff it or just panic it and hit it at the keeper.
