Great get that guy and Theo! I've wanted to see Walcott play through the middle for a team since he left us and I assume that wil be a condition on his return, he's still young enough and appears to have the desire to prove himself so I'd take him back he's got to score and create more than shane fookin long

Thats the great unknown, what will our new owners do? Will they suck up the costs? How well structured are the contracts we give to star players in terms of relegation clauses?

It's hard to be optimistic after the last mess, all those saying we could play x list of youngsters have a terribly short memory and should talk to some leeds/Shefiield Wendesday fans if they want to understand just how hard it is to get out of that league. Wednesday have splashed some serious cash and have still struggled to make an impression our youth team certainly won't be tearing up the league!

If all we want is a big lump tha doesn't score let's not blow 17m on a South American, we all know how those signings work out for us! What is Osvaldo up to at the minute....

Pelle scored goals throughout his career including his time here this guy hasn't scored heavily at any level including the Argentine league if he is the best we can get we might as well not bother.

great another striker with a mediocre scoring record wasn't even very prolific in Argentina.

Such a sad waste of talent, I wish I was half as good as this lad a little application andhe could have been setup for life from a few years kicking a ball. Feel sorry for him to be honest as there must be something seriously wrong in his life if he keeps landing up in this carp.

Bringing in McCarthy would be a gamble no keeper is going to be at his best behind our back four 50% of who don't wat to be here and show less commitment than a stripper who's not getting tips!

I'd flog VVD and Bertrand to the highest bidder on january the first neither look even slightly bothered VVD's value is dropping by the game he suddenly looks mediocre. Spend the money on a target man a creative midfielder and a left back oh and compensation for a new manager who isn't so scared of loosing he puts that above everything else!

Will be surprised if he ever becomes a consistently good prem keeper he was a liability for us you knew we would need to score 2-3 as soon as he was in the team. Good luck to him.

No way on earth it will ever happen he has burnt his bridges here, sad really as I'd have him back tomorrow!

Glad to see the grass isn't always greener, so many players and managers who leave saints go onto lesser things. Few exceptions obviously but I'd hope future employees of the club look to the lessons of the past!

Shock horror our players look better playing the formation and system they were bought for!

WGS is available again maybe it's time for the second coming?

He was very very good in his first season thats why he got the new contract! I don't remember many people calling for his head and saying he was rubbish back then sadly he has taken a bit of a tumble since then, hopefully an up turn in form will follow.

Sell Long and Austin and buy a striker who can score goals and stay fit! Long is awful and Austin a crock.

30 million so one decent player and some loose change!

He has simply reverted to type he has never previously been a prolific goal scorer we have too many forwards who don't score!

Sack the manager he is just serving up the same dross as last years no mark nobody, I don't mind us loosing if we at least put up a fight!

I think he will look to go next summer having used this season with saints to cement his place in the England line up, he is fast heading towards the end of his career at the very top and I'd be looking to cash in if I was him. I know he earns loads here compare to the average joe but he could go to the top four and double his money plus get a nice big signing on fee in the bank, good luck to him I say he has been a decent servant to the club so I won't begrudge him hi opportunity should it come.

God on the lad he's gone on from us to have a pretty decent career so far.

Train him with the first team from tomorrow morning, Start him in the next reserve/youth game and as soon as fit play him in the first team. If he refuses to play or train fine him until he changes his mind if his attitude or performance stinks follow the clubs ususl disciplinary procedures. He will play and play well then move on in the summer hopefully not to liverhampton!

Can't say I'm full of joy I would have been happy for the club to remain in KL's ownership indefinitely, this new structure could be good or could be a total disaster. The guy doesn't seem to be rich enough to do much more than KL has in terms of sugar daddy status and the whole Lander not Lander situation leaves a strong whiff in the air!

I think will Hughes and chalobah could both still make it, I was surprised to see Hughes in particular end up there.

Stephens is fonte's replacementvare fair play to the lad he has stepped up and taken the opportunity. If VVD goes we will need another experienced cb but I think the club are going to give him the Morgan's treatment which worked well enough!
