I'd like to add that you should keep an eye on these two youngsters at Arsenal, I know I am Emmanuel Frimpong - this guy is the next Michael Essien. Powerful, non-stop engine, he is a real beast in midfield. Destined to be a holding midfielder of absolute quality, England have lost out with him switching to Ghana. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas - This guy is built like a brick ****house. He hasn't actually got a permanent position, but I'd like to see him make it as a striker. Very similar to Drogba, powerful and brutish at the same time as skillful and sublime. Both will probably get loaned out this season, but they are both real prospects.

There Is nothing more to tell!

Koren is a fantastic shout but I know this guy is 6'1 ish. I told this to someone via PM. I could see someone taking photo's by the dome but I could not see what he was taking them of. However this mystery bloke was not part of the shoot at the time.

Gimme a photo of Carter please. This guy looks like he is signing or he has turned us down. Foreign looks without a doubt, dressed like an Italian with the grey trousers and White shirt, has that Italian type hair like which is greased back, has a Raul type looking face. He shook hands with the fitness coach and a very big black guy in a coaching capacity role for the youth setup. Looks like a CB as he looks very strong. I reckon we have our next signing here? or maybe not! :-D

Without a doubt he looks foreign. Age 22 - 26

He's now leaving! About 6 ft 1, well built, black curlish hair. Looks more like a CB but I must add some players knew him.

He's shaking hands with some players so maybe he's not Carter after all?

from the photo I saw, Mr Carter is down Staplewood as I speak wearing grey trousers and a cool White shirt talking to someone on his phone. The players are starting to cone out in the training gear which suggests Carter is injured or being a lazy **** :-)

Is there not a 20,000 page thread for this ****e!!

Those that know his sister, can you pass on this info to Adam. Who are we signing? How much is AP on? Is Cortese really a hard bastard? Will you play again? What happened to Shergar? Is Elvis really dead? Why did England play crap at the world cup? and finally Where is Lord Lucan hiding? cheers!

Is he stuck in his bedroom?

I spoke to Adam down Staplewood today, he said 'my knee is better now and I'm going to get my bag and boots to travel to Hull as they want me while my Emily don't.' holy moo!!

Ask yourself, Would AP be happy with the deal? If yes then let's do it, If no because AP knows we have the money and he does not want to lose Harding then don't worry. Forget what other people think as they don't know what's going on like the rest of us.

A player agent contacts AP 'We have a player interested.' Contese contacts the club 'We will offer XYZ.' The other club 'Yes agreed.' The player with agent meet Cortese 'I will sign as I like that deal.' Cortese 'You tell anyone and I will pull out.' Where does any of the above say 'Contact the press or even a friend, supporter, current Saints player to let them know and spill the deal. They don't and they won't. That's why the next players in will be a total surprise to us all and that all ITK and the speculation in the Echo, Mail, and forums etc should be ignored as it's all pants.

Spoke to someone and trust me I have no reason to believe they know any insiders to the club so treat it as a pinch of salt. We have agreed a deal with two championship clubs for a striker and a midfielder. We spoken to the two players we want who will put pen to paper once there clubs have agreed to get replacements. IMHO I believe Tyson is one while I will watch closely to see who else brings in a player. I'm looking towards Swansea and Bristol City for some reason as I have a inkling about them.

Talking about Alpine?

I think he's saying 'without Hammond, Lallana, Fonte & Lambert who are maybe leaving to join the Premiership in the next week, the players I have coming in 'Stock, Carter, Bruno & Dean will give us an okay squad.'

I'm abit worried on the amount of goals we are conceding lately. IMHO Plymouth can put three past us quite easily in the first game..... (it feels great doing a alpine impression)

If it's to be announced tonight then I would of thought we would have him playing tonight. Although we have agreed a deal with Forest (if that's correct) then it's still a couple of days from completion IMHO.

We are short of squad midfielders so I'm sure if he does alright tonight then a bid of 350k will snap him up. Can't see him being the one that AP is really after as I feel the big one is yet to arrive.

I know AP is playing the waiting game well but like someone said, for the sake of £100k we could lose both our first games while someone like Tyson could make the difference. The thought of being top of the league and putting the fear into other teams is the greatest football feeling ever.

That's the way I see it too. If we bought Stock for 1m and Rovers approached Boro with an offer of 400k for there player, You can be sure Strachan will say 'You have the money now so make us a better offer' If it was the other way round where Rovers went to Boro and got a player saying we can only afford 400k they would most likely take it. I remember the days when we would often sell our star player and bring in 3/4 players in for the squad. Shearer out - Speedie, Groves & Dixon in.... haha

I'm not so sure he is, I feel he is looking for players that are this divisions/championship best (Stock, Austin &Danns type) who will help us go straight through two leagues. Plus he will want a return on them if they can't quite hack the premier.

But if Y wont sell X then it means we have missed out on a,b,c,d,e,f etc......... Or does it mean that Y knows AP will come back with a better offer to sell X.
