I did pop down there recently and they don't have proper trees at the moment so I had to do the crawl in grass cuttings, ****ing stunk. Cant wait for the team to move into the main arena when it's all built as I heard they have special trees for ****s like me. :-)

That rules out Andy Carroll then.

Got out of bed too early, clearly not a problem correct! Cortese would pay wages of 100k + if he felt the player was right for us. Van Persie would be a great example if we was on the brink of champion league football. Our time will come at this rate. Back to subject - Raminez to sign at 2 with a full press exposure IMHO.

Problem is Cortese will not pay anyone silly wages & that's why we got Raminez because he will settle for 45k a week, cant see him paying 100k+ to the greedy has beens in the EPL. Bebatov Walcott Johnson to name a few.

I reckon I've spent a total of 2 hours on this thread and that's with a weeks holiday where I had no access, I bet some of you have done 10 hours plus?

Maybe this was an opportunity to let some clubs see our 2nd string who are available for transfers. They have 3 days to get their bids in now.

Saints ram eight past Liverpool at Anfield.

Probably true but 25 goals and 45 million pounds later he may want to leave in 2 years. We could do a swap deal with some Arsenal players.

I saw him training once, not sure he is what we need as Messi went past him like he was not there.

The reason why I mentioned him is because he has not really added anything that we all know, he just confirmed that the staff have met him & he did stay in Lyndhurst. If its a big problem then a mod can delete the last page then.

I don't blame the guy as he just wants to play football, a strange decision by Adkins so far. I personally would swing Lallana back in left midfield and put J Rod in behind a front two.

Championship football or Premiership with a 750k sign on fee & 15k more in wages a week? No brainer on this one I'm afraid.

The latest I have on the Raminez is he has met the staff and did stay in Lyndhurst for a while and is currently waiting for Saints to sort out the deal with his club. We are holding tight as Bologna has to sell up and they are waiting desperately for someone else to come in or take our offer before the deadline.

If he walked past me I would not have a clue it would be him, do people believe he walks around in a shirt that has his name and number on the back?

Thats a strange route to take if your signing for Spurs? ;£

Shame we could not add Messi to it? :-)

If you don't have it then you can't pay it!We want a CB, RW as well so he probably hopes nobody else comes in before the deadline so Bologna will buckle first.

Or we faxed them a choice of Hammond, Chaplow or De Ridder with the 5m?

Just come back from holiday and was updated well from a forum user. My take on this is Cortese wants a big signing to get us to the next level and he will sign one before the deadline. I believe we will fork out 15m tops but they must be in our wage bracket of 40k or less. Perhaps we tried for Walcott but his wages would of been way too high, add Johnson from City & Pienarr to the list of wanting too much wages. A few names are cropping up like Tella/Biagla (whatever the name) we are looking very hard to bring in a real crowd pleaser and if we miss out on Ramirez then someone else will come. IMHO Lens is the one we will end up with after Ramirez.

More than likely we have several bids on the table & they have not been accepted yet because the market still has 25 odd days left.I can understand Adkins being frustrated in not getting who he wants in but Cortese is a strong man that will not be bosses around.

I believe his mission was to convince Gillingham that Forecast really was on a paid contract with Saints.

Gazza 'These bloody premiership strikers are taking the **** outta me.'

I would not worry about that as my next thread is 'How far will we get in the Milk Cup?'
