still means we have less pace than ever

MP had admitted IN HINDSIGHT he should have left AL on so yes he made a mistake there but had Ramirez scored 2 there would be no moaning on here. What is worrying is since the last 6 games of last season and the first three of this we have regressed if anything. We are looking pedestrian and void of ideas. If we have no wingers then we do need marauding backs and without Clyne they don't exist. I would have liked to see Moses here but seems he is off to Merseyside. MP is a smart guy I am sure he is working on things.

Maybe he has already had his medical? I am not ITK at all but very good contacts at Solent Uni told me a player had a medical there the Thursday before Osvaldo signed and it was very hush hush. I am guessing but perhaps this transfer was potentially set up when Chelsea went for Willan? Could all be crap but throw in MP's comments that Saints would continue to monitor the market after Osvaldo signed means that perhaps their transfer dealings are not finished.

I really don't know - I am just putting 2+2 etc but I would not be surprised

Worth a punt this I reckon

That's a long way to go for an evening away match but it was good to see a comfortable win and 5 goals, 4 of which were nicely taken. Surprised no Do Prado - he may be injured and no sign of Hooiveld either. V disappointed in Mayuka, I have to say. Until his goal he just did not get into the game Isgrove only came to life in the 2nd H when he went wide left. Ramirez so much skill and composure but so frustrating. His free kicks last night were shocking. Oakwell was just how I imagined it, corrugated fences, red bricked walls and old fashioned corner steel floodlights that looked like they had been in situ since Michael Parkinson was a nipper.

I still think there will be one more in. Apparently a mystery player had a medical the Thursday before Osvaldo signed and it was very hush hush. Listening to Pochettino's comments last week about watching the market I think this transfer is dependant on another club buying someone before letting our target go

This big time - he needs to wise up very quickly - no room for petulance in the Prem.

Buttner is being loaned out I see

there is an element of sense in what he says to be fair

I think a lot of people are forgetting that we are privately owned now - the only people who should be (potentially) worrying in the Liebherr estate. There is no stock market or shareholders to answer to. We have become a mini Chelsea.

we still lack pace

This big time

Minty I thought exactly the same thing

Just in case this post was missed - can't wait to find out? Was it that bloke who went mental in the cemetery ?

I missed the announcement that Micah Hall had taken over from Guy the soldier

The answer to your question is simple - "it's because he plays for Southampton".

well said

Spain now I believe

All will be revealed in November http://www.hagiologists.com/forth.htm

He let it slip between his fingers

The standard of comments is improving I see - he's a good local lad, with a solid family behind him who are Saints fans. Doubt they would relish a stupid comment like yours. He was sold against his wishes to bale us out when we were staring administration in the face. He is a footballer with intelligence and I think Bournemouth have got a nugget here. Hughton is not a purist hence this move.

That made I larf

Missed that 1st time around - hysterical, I wonder how many bought it?

Yea but as I have already pointed out, then it took Blackburn millions to win the League but now you have to be bankrolled by a country
