I was wondering how this place would react if say Boro, Wrexham or similar bought a player who has played for England, was 31 and apart from one game had played his entire career in the top flight for £800000.

Get promoted and get that record broken in a saints shirt.

Pretty pleased with this. Key thing for me is that we get him a bit further up the pitch than he was at times for us in the past. Just watched a goal highlight reel which is a reminder of how effective he can be arriving late into the box, or hitting the target from just outside it (aside from free kicks of course!) Be nice to see some cross onto Larins head from deep too. Welcome back JWP.

Would also reiterate what Eckert said in a press conference recently: There are players in this squad looking to spend 2 years here and then move on.

Ha... I liked that he compared Nuno to his grandmother though... "I've been very strong in my beliefs about who I am as a player and as a person, regardless of whether my Nan was the manager or it's Nuno."

I don’t think anyone mentioned critical did they? Might just be an opportunity that comes up.

It would help our cause a bit yes but suspect he’d be keen to eye up a run at the German national team for the Euros and would take instruction from Klopp/coaches etc.

Wonder if they explained the joke to Flynn Downes.

havent watched any interview but i hope the first question was "did you really call Nuno baldie at Notts Forrest and that is why he refused to play you."

The major negative of JWP rejoining for me is that we won't be able to use the highly amusing "Free kick in JWP territory (even though he's no longer with us)" bants on match day threads anymore...

So not critical to sign the bloke this year then. As MLG has said next summer might depend on which division we're in.

Whoever that turns out to be, I really hope the wally comparing a child’s skills to Henry was not involved in their development. Ridiculous messaging setting the lad up for failure.

Even if we are promoted? Would need to be a big club making the bid for that to happen.

Peretz Bree Wood Schlotterbeck Manning Downes Ward-Prowse Matsuki Azaz Scienza Larin I like how much of the pitch Schlotterbeck takes up in the back line. Most of the pitch covered.

The one game he played for us at this level against Sheffield Wednesday he looked far too good for this league. He has been plagued by bad management ever since but I still see him as being better than most of the midfielders in this league and hopefully his love for the club will inspire him and others!

Saw him last year in Brighton - he was quality!

Because Jander is likely to leave next year like every man and his dog knows.

Might be more of a case of whether they want to do business with us. Even if they do, is there any reason we want to sign a 'Jander replacement'' ?

Great line-up for the new series. Prefer the general public version, as that's usually much more competitve and ruthless than the celeb version, but highly entertaining nonetheless. Televisual-tastic p.s. James Blunt is my dark horse punt (rhyming slang intended )

Speaking to a Bolton supporting mate, he would be backup to Jack Bonham. ROI U17 Capped, Never senior. And 32 years of age. What a wonderful experience for him learn from/How humiliating for Baz.

Ha! No not a fan of that. I don’t find many ‘modern’ comedians funny to be honest but do like Romesh and Rob Beckett, they should be good. Now if Ricky Gervais was on there that would be bloody brilliant.

Nah, I think this one's a footballer. (Not that I dislike Quarshie, but I prefer my team to comprise players).

Add an extra million on top and call it spy tax.

Pros: I think he'll be a great player at this level Two year contract is shorter than I expected, minimises risk Cons: I forgot about that corny golf swing celebration
