a quality player who in his prime would really have suited our current style, he arrived at saints before the premier league was ready for him! Totally respect his decision to spend most of his career at Elfsberg he was clearly happy there are earning enough money to keep him and his family satisfied. I'd like to see more footballers put personal happiness above the bottom line!

Adam made his bed so has to accept what comes his way. Still he was quality for us and decent for Liverpool, I'd take him back for 7-8m and an apology.

Needs something similar for his arse and his elbow and if you could show him a barn door that might improve his form. Hope they hit Jose with a 3 game touchline/stadium ban it's not like it is his first offence, still love his response when the interviewer asked him about our penalties that weren't given, Muppet!

Someone has to be first

I think it would be good for him to go out on Loan to a decent Championship side for a few months provided he plays, for me he has reached a point in his development where some real game time in competitive matches will really bring him on.

Quality player, I was a bit dubious when we origionally brought him in to replace Shaw but he has repaid us in spades! Hopefully his proveious experience witha 'top' club will encourage him to stay and enjoy playing football a little longer than some.

Sounds about right and a kick about against Ajax's non international players just to keep things football related!

and David Hirst who only had one leg! Breaking our transfer record is never a good thing!

I'm amazed he's not played at a much higher level every time I've seen him play (admittedly not often) he looks very good, I remember one edition of Champ Manager where he was very tasty.

I thought exactly the same, I read the squad list and thought he's a shoe in to start as there are no other left backs then I remember bench warmer gibbs and and the utility player that is Jones and realised he'd not be playing!

This and if we can have two then Mane as well please!

I am desperate for him to succeed so we can see t least some return on our massive investment!

I thought he was already injury prone and not what we needed?

Odd question! How would I know but I'm sure a club somewhere would have got close enough to be shot of him. I think he needs to show the sort of attitude that Schniederlin did last year, he said sorry knuckled down and most importantly played as well as ever. Victor needs to clear the air, I don't care if he says sorry but he needs to state publicly tha he is committed to the saints and will give his all, humility is required and then when he gets the chance he needs to play as well as he ever has done!

Seems pretty reasonable for all but Cech to me, the algorithm clearly doesn't work for keepers who can play top flight so much longer, we got great Money for Schniederlin given his lack of European and International experience.

It's fair because the ref played advantage as he thought the Hungarians were better off not receiving the free kick essentially meaning Baird got away with the foul.

LOL he's an idiot that we should have flogged to any forign club that would pay the asking price, no place at this club for big time charlies!

Great player for us in the Championship and would have been an integral part of our rise had we been able to keep him, I don't think he is anywhere near a starter for us but would still be a decent enough squad player filling in numerous roles. Would have been interesting to see how his career had panned out if it wasn't for the ill times injuries and some moves that didn't work out.

The torpedo! wasn't he the next Keleber Chala,or was it the other way round? I'm sure he was a Redknapp brown paper bag job, showed up on loan for 6 months never set foot on the pitch and the quietly disappeared I bet Rosie was counting the cash onthat little number! Back on topic interesting to see Gaston included in the premier league squad maybe the door is still fractionally ajar to him? I won't hold my breath waiting for him to kick it down but you never do know!

They all count, pretty much sums up a lot of fans on this site that a striker they all think is our weakest link is starting for Italy, oh for the days when we had such power houses up front as Bret Ormerod David 'No Knees' Hirst or Uwe Rosler!

How much do saints want in a fee/wages? Did he decline to leave? Was he injured so couldn't leave oh you don't know so it must be because he is totally crap? He clearly isn't messi but neither is he Tommy fourpast, what is it with people these days that means everything has to be black and white with nothing in between?

Scored 12 goals in 54 appearances for a mediocre team in Italy and has played 34 times for one of the best international sides yes he's total crap, lol. I love football fans,

Hi success in Italy and decent international record would suggest that somewhere in there is a half decent footballer, not Messi but he clearly knows his way around the pitch we have sadly only had a glimpse or two here maybe he isn't suited to the english game he wouldn't be the first Juan Veron was clearly quality but didn't do it here.

Flog him abroad sick of the site of the idiot!

I'm seriously considering a cheeky tenner on him not making Christmas, the team is a shambles at the moment, the selection and tactics are both really odd and a total departure from last season. His body language is all wrong and hardly speaks of a man relishing the challenge and looking forward with optimism! For me it has nothing to do with the business in the transfer market on the pitch we are a passionless shambles, RK isn't getting anything like the best out of the squad and last nights hoof ball was a Fat Sam at Bolton homage that was embarrassing to see!
