Pilchards

Maybe it's time for me to make a visit? problem is I don't know what he looks like and I even won't if he walked past me unless he has a cone on his head.

It's the footballers come dine with me episode on channel 4.

Maybe Jos delivered the 6m transfer fee in a brown envelope?

What Bayasgalangiin Garidmagnai? Wow the guy is a legend, 31 goals in 17 games already, sign him up I say. He is called 'Galas' for short.

If he is saying his name has not been mentioned on here yet then perhaps it could be a keeper. We would look for a keeper who can pass & throw it out, anyone spring to mind?

How long does it take you to pack a suitcase? Get yer arse over here now boy!

Okay my last message was an attempt on humour, what I dont understand is this. Why would Saints tell anyone else what we are bidding etc? It's never been our style so why now? The Hooper thing comes across as attempt to get him a better contract at Celtic as it looks like his agent is spreading gossip about a bid from us. I personally think we will bring in someone else not mentioned anywhere.

Hooper or Rhodes?!? Can't we go for a decent striker that knows where the net is? someone like Torres perhaps.....!!!

You know something we don't know?

This. We are not going to pay 7.5m for him now as he is not worth it. Back up plan Nigel.

No because he wants 20k a week and saints will not pay that.

If we came in with a rumoured 4m bid first then I expect the 2nd bid was in the region of 4.7m If I was coming back then I would throw in Pucheon & a 5.5m bid with a extra million add on if we reach the premier. No way we will go 8 or 9m.

De Bruyne?!? haha give over unless Newcastle have offered us 10m for Lambert, must admit Lambert needs to be replaced soon as he has a good 2 years left on him.

The more I think about it the more I believe it will be Clyne from Palace. He never played yesterday which according to the Palace forum was a mystery. They signed a player called Mcshane last week for a months loan and he can play in the cup as stated on their official website. Mcshane came on as sub and played okay, he's a Irish international right back. We was looking for a right back recently as he does not fancy Burtterfield anymore, IMHO Richardson has a great cross but does not do 'skinning the left back' very well while Clyne does it all. Reckon a 2m deal could of been agreed and the guy is coming to us.

This..........! And because of this then that player never played today as we would never have it.

It's an away game so it will be played in Southampton somewhere. haha

+1.

Of course he won't but he will more than certain score goals for them like Lambert has done for us this season, Infact some will say Lambert has found it easier this season which does suggests Rhodes could.

And if he continues to score the goals that he has this season then they will gain 90m next season. Bad gamble, not!

Just a thought, you are a 17 year old kid earning something like £200 a week and a team offers you a signing on fee of £250,000 plus a wage of 5k a week. Okay so you won't play in the first team for about 3 years but they will develop you to become a good player still. I think the decision would be far too easy for most of us on this one and I don't blame the lad if he leaves.

How is it so easy to buy players like that? Almost every club is holding on to the star players in the hope they get better offers as clubs become more desperate. We are playing the same game with Puncheon. IMHO Saints have put in bids for some good players but are just waiting for them to get replacements or the other club gives in to us in the end.

It makes me laugh how you think he does not want to move away from Yorkshire, haha you are so many miles away from the truth. His first choice is to join us if we agree his 20k a week demands which the club are refusing to pay. They had talks a week before Xmas. Don't doubt how I know as I work with the guy that was at a party with him just before Xmas. Sharp is still hopeful of joining us even now as we speak.

It depends what hotel you are talking about?

The Independant have a big article about Luke Shaw our promising youngster.It says we have put a 4m price tag on him and that Arsenal are leading the way over City, Liverpool etc.What a load of ****, why would we sell one of the hottest prospects in English football?Hope someone can put the article on here please.

Heard tonight that we had talks with Sharp before Xmas and he made it very clear to the club he wanted to join us if we paid him 20k. Saints have since told him they will not pay him that much. Apparently the same thing has happened to Maynard which is why we last week said that they are not interested in these two. I'm guessing that the club speak to agents first to see what they want in wages before they approach the club with a bid, thought this was tapping up? Also this might suggest that we have a big interest in Hooper & that he would be willing to join us, that deal could depend on what Celtic will take as a transfer fee?
