This season Rickie would get around 12-15 goals in the Prem - assuming he plays most games. Think he'd struggle at times because of his lack of mobility. Not sure he would be the central striker we need for a 4-3-3; might be our weak link. Next season he might get 10-12. His value would be far less than now. JRod would get 12-15 goals, if played consitently in the central role, and assuming he plays most games. He'd offer more to the 4-3-3; he'd also enhance his value and develop his skills. Next season he could be a 20 goal prem striker. Love SRL, he's a legend, but there is a case to be made for moving him on. Does sentiment have a place when striving for success?

Would you take Olsson (sp?) and Dann in exchange for Rickie?

Can't see an actual predictions (rather than hcdajfu) thread, so here goes..... Who will we sign come the end of the transfer window? No prizes, it's just for fun. My view: CB - Dann CB - someone unexpected AM - Ramirez With Dann being done in the last 2 hours of the window.

Swap Chappers and Hammond and you're there.

Will we get this thread to 100 pages before the money clears?

Have to say the skeptic inside me immediately goes for the 'thats bollock; prove it' thought. The fan inside me is streaming 'please god, be true'!!

That's a bit worrying.

Sounds like Martinez won the tactical battle.

Woot? Nuns? Sexy teachers? COYRS

This is just more classic positioning from their president; clearly getting disparate. Nailing an agreement with all parties, including the 3rd party ownership, must have been complex - and will be equally so for any other English club. Won't happen quickly. You can bet if any other English club were talking to them their president would be screaming it from the rooftops. Anyone else is going to have to move in fairly promptly. We're in pole position on this - for now. The interesting bit will be what happens if no other club comes in........ Will Don Cortese spend the cash elsewhere to strengthen us next week, so ruling out any chance of us getting him (a player we clearly want, massively)? Will he keep it in his pocket to try and nail a last day discount deal (and risk the squad being weaker than we could be until Jan)? Going to enjoy watching the end game on this.

Yep. All day. Please not the same tomorrow: I need to get my life back.

In first?

...white? Blank? Plain?

He did a good job today without a doubt; but JRod on the left? Not for me..

AIRPORT WATCH!! Which flight, and who is getting down there to see him (or follow his car down the M3)? Volunteers....?

Good article. Interested that he seems to be wearing a weighted vest in the pic of him training. Is that normal for training at Saints?

Nowhere near enough pages yet!

I'm in. Just been made redundant so have so spare hours.

Guly?

**** me it's Huggy Bear.

Thank you Sir Markus. RIP.

Would be very pleased with this. Would provide great service to SRL.

On the phone is so addictive I may never do another days work again.

I'll drop Denise a text to see if she knows anything.

Strangely I woke up this morning to the thought that Buttner will sign today; I don't normally think about footballers in my waking moments. My pillow must be itk. Reckon we'll see a CB this week - but probably one that doesn't excite us: a Jos type signing. Danns?
