about as likely as me being the next saints manager!

He reminds me of Matt Oakley solid but unspectacular will probably play for us for ten years amass 500 appearances 12 goals and a great testimonial. Academy players will go one of three ways 1. Great players we will have for 1-2 seasons before they leave for 'champions league football' 2. Decent pro's who will stay and do a job ie JWP 3. Not good enough will wash out to the lower leagues and generally disappear apart from the occasional late bloomer who makes us look dumb. JWP will never be Paul scholes but that doesn't stop him doing a job for the club so quit moaning!

Still one of the best footballers I've ever seen in the red and white stripes, truly wasted in WGS's system but I'll never forget him dismantling Spurs!

I was really pleased when we got him, looked a real prospect and was England u21 Captain what a disappointment but he was good at clapping the fans! Delap was our record signing for so long it was embarrassing and Hirst before that!

Totally agree with this, so far Austin looks a terrible piece of business he might eat sleep and live goals but he needs two working knees to be any use, jury is still very much out for me. Similarly with Jrod he looks gone from what I've seen so far so realistically getting pelle to sign a minimum 1 year extension should be top priority or we could be starting next season with only one forward! I'll be gutted if Tadic leaves unless it is for silly season money when he plays we are a better team he has been a revelation and I'm surprised it has taken this long for the wolves to circle!

Funny how nobody mentions SKD giving the fans the bird at Hillsborough when Wednesday thrashed us 5-0 and he was absolutely hopeless! Got a lot of time for the guy and he is clearly very popular in the dressing room but he let himself and the club down very badly that day. Hope he enjoys his retirement and the club give him a shot at a role off the pitch.

to be fare Lallana has been playing better and better under Klopp but I do have to admit to having a chuckle when they lost that final!

Palace win for me, I can't bring myself to support Man Utd we should be perfectly capable of winning the qualifying games like we should have done this year.

approximately as long as he remains at Arsenal as it is clear that Wenger breaks players even though he likes to dismiss the evidence.

Cyrus Christie looks like a decent prospect, derby's youngsters seem to know how to play football properly!

Lee Holmes has always had a huge amount of talent sadly his body just can't keep up I remember when he got injured for about the millionth time playing for us watching him smash the turf in frustration he must have a real feeling of what could have been!

made his derby debut at 15!

Can't make my mind up on this one, the club might view it as the last chance to get a return on the investment so cash him in particularly if he has a decent run at the euro's and one of Italy's big clubs fancies taking him home. Personally I'd like to see him stay he is different to our other strikers so gives us an option of the bench of if we want to play differently and hopefully next year with the Europa there will be planet of games to keep him busy.

Top draw player and one I was pleased we signed when we lost shaw, although I didn't think he was as good as he is! Should clearly be Ebglands order choice this summer but probably won't I suspect that will go to rose surely Baines won't even go he's had a nothing season?

We are never going to sign him in the real world but if by some miracle he was interested we should get him on the bus ASAP!

Totally with that idea it is crazy that the biggest club from the 3rd/4th/5th (depends who you ask) biggest city in the country isn't in the top flight plus I need a local game back was great in the lower leagues!

That would be quite funny a big money signing to fire next seasons league2 play off push!

He clearly had plenty of talent so not sure where you get that from, sad that he is such a simpleton not sure how he will revive his career now!

Hope Ron signs but if not I'd sack him this summer and replace with pellegrini, after the fiasco of strachans last season I don't want a repeat!

And the only criticism they've received all season is for the style of football they play! Good football isn't necessary to get results watch any big Sam side or athletico!

That never happened but that aside he is still a total knob!

I think it's more a case of he's got back to the level he was when he broke through, I've no idea what went on in the wake of his old man passing away but his game certainly fell to pieces and only now is he looking the player everyone thought he was back then. Will be interesting to see if he can put it behind him and kick on again he is very much in the last chance saloon I would think.

Ox followed by Depay. Ox is a known quantity and if we could manage his fitness better than Arsenal (who have a terrible reputation) then we would be pretty much guaranteed a decent signing. Depay would be my second choice obvious potential but hasn't fired at Man Utd so fits our mould of signings and if he did come good could be our next cash cow! Townsend is just too hit and miss for me occasional moments of brilliance interspersed with not much!

Good age as well looks like the sort of player we might gamble 10-12 million on

You'll get to appreciate a decent view of a game of football for a change!
