Imagine his positive advice and influence on Shea Charles and Casper Jander - never mind the rest of the team. This news has really cheered me up.

100%. A proper heavy weight signing for a championship club, and one only we could make in this league IMO (given his history with us).

Was not expecting that but makes sense with Charles' injury and the general lack of leadership.

I'm not expecting much at 34 and not having played all season and with our luck fear he'll be out for 6 months in his first game back, but it's the hope that kills you!

There is genuinely something in the JWP links by the way, loan deal for January.

Not 100% sure how I feel about that one, but it's something that is 100% on the table. Just need to see if the finances work, as we'd need WHU to subsidise a hell of a lot.

Wow just wow, i never ever thought he would return having obviously followed him in Spain. I love the guy, he's a great character and a leader and exactly what i have been saying that we have been lacking. I hope his legs are up to it, i'm very conscious that the Spanish league and the English league are very different, with the English leagues being very much quicker and robust.

Just the lift we all need if he's in the building.

I would 100% take Prowsey back and he would make an instant improvement to our side.

Get in! Was advocating this in the summer 👍🏻

Why has it taken so long for Sport Republic to wake up FFS?!

Fuck me, this is the best bit of Saints news in ages.

Bring some discipline, leadership and 'hard truths' to the dressing room.

Pleased.

He is another who is a model pro and obviously a leader

Would be miles better than anything we've played recently. Fingers crossed they get that done in Jan.

Scienza and JWP fighting for free kicks. Manning shouldn't get a look in

Mental, didn’t see this coming.

If SR are open to getting a free agent in the door then there’s a few strikers out there that have to be worth a punt for a year.

If Romeu is basicially confirmed and JWP is reasonably likely, you have to think SR are confident they can ship a couple of MFs out. Aribo and Matsuki perhaps?

We wouldn't be able to get JWP for another two months anyway and Charles should be back then, so I can't see us putting that team out, even if Prowsey did come back.

I've no idea why people keep advocating for Oyekunle, who's never played senior football before, over Armstrong who has been a regular Championship scorer throughout his career. The former isn't even a target man, he's 5'9".

My sources tell me that this was actually confirmed last night and Oriel had his first training session today.  When the session was over allegedly he invited Flynn Downes, THB and Manning to stay behind in the changing room with the door shut for a quiet word.  Unconfirmed as yet but allegedly shortly after an ambulance had to be called to Staplewood to treat a 26 year old cockney and a 23 year old northern primadonna.  Reports that a 29 year old 'irishman" was last seen scrambling over the fence and heading towards Dibden have also yet to be confirmed.

Great news. Romeu will still be streets ahead in quality of everything we have.

Grooming also for a future coaching role?

You didn't want Romeu or jwp back tbf. You didn't think they were needed.

I want exactly that - at skates away in the 95th minute to seal 3 points. With Ralph crying on his knees on the touchline whilst fist pumping the home fans. I haven't asked for much from SR...

Wow, first time I've smiled at anything Saints related in forever! Just what we need on and off the pitch. Just hope his legs are still up to it, but his leadership alone makes this a cracking signing. Very happy

They shouldn't have been. We should have been able to fight for promotion with Jander, Charles, Aribo and Downes fighting over two places in a 4-2-3-1, with Edwards able to play there if needed. JWP I though would be unlikely to drop down a league anyway and I still think somewhere like Leeds or Burnley is a more likely destination than us.

I think the reason OR is coming back is 70% dressing room and 30% Charles being injured.

Should be exactly what's needed. I said at the start of the season that we should have offered him a short term deal so I'm delighted with this news. 
Just need a striker with a bit of experience now. 

Oh, and a manager that isn't Russell Martin or Tonda Eckert.

This is absolutely amazing news. Just what we needed. Welcome home Ori 😊 added leadership and strength in midfield.

I had a rare bout of optimism at the end of this seasons Transfer deadline only to fall into an even deeper depression after the new signings (apart from Scienza!!) have made precious little improvement to the team.

I just hope that Oriol's return makes a difference.

He is a very decent bloke off the field but a Jimmy Case/Alan Ball type competitor on the pitch.

I just hope he still has the legs for the full on challenge of games in the Championship.

Not only with experience but someone of stature that can hold the ball up and can win a few headers, especially in the danger areas,
