As it Neil Mellor.

According to Sky Sports, Matt Oakley is in talks with Derby about a return. Would love to have had him back at Saints, but i guess not needed now we have Cork.

Quick career comparison, goals in brackets. Beattie 1995–1998 Blackburn Rovers 4 (0) 1998–2005 Southampton 204 (68.) 1 in 3 2005–2007 Everton 76 (13) 1 in 5.8 2007–2009 Sheffield United 62 (34) 1 in 1.823 2009–2010 Stoke City 38 (9) 1 in 4.2 2010– Rangers 7 (0) 2011 → Blackpool (loan) 9 (0) vs Mellor 2002–2006 Liverpool 22 (6) 1 in 3.6 2003–2004 → West Ham United (loan) 16 (2) 1 in 8 2006 → Wigan Athletic (loan) 3 (1) 1 in 3 2006– Preston North End 113 (30) 1 in 3.7 2010–2011 → Sheffield Wednesday (loan) 33 (13) 1 in 2.5

If it was a choice between Beattie or Mellor, i'd take Beats anytime.

Who is the player in photo 15 on the latest set of pics on the website?

"Southampton are a big club and had the deal been right then I would have negotiated with them but it wasn't." So he didn't speak to us, assuming it was just the agent we spoke to. Obviously tried his luck for a high wage or/and contract and we backed down. Sounds like that piece was a please offer again and I'll reduce my demands.

I personally think the graphics on the OS with the white background with stripes down then middle and the black background with stripes down the milddle will be how our home and away kit look.

Bristol City might be having a change of heart if Maynard decides he wants to leave and wont be signing a new contract next season. They must be pretty sure he will sign a new extension to his contract otherwise they are playing a dangerous game.

Wonder what they are paying in wages for him too. Leicester are really throwing money at going up this season aren't they. They can't be far off buying a whole new team now, they have replaced all their back 4 and keeper now.

Why are they all wearing bras? and on the outside of their clothes too!

Well you could just post it on here, or PM me and i'll post it as a new thread.

Anyone spot AOC in picture?!?

A sign of how good a player u sign is by the reaction from the fans for whom he used to play for. Burnley are gutted and have nothing but praise for Cork.

Could we play a 5 man midfield? Hammond Morgan Cork in the middle with Adam and AOC out wide?

Chelsea havent even bothered to announce his departure on their site yet

I think it wont be the bog standard red and white stripes thats for sure. There will be a twist on it in some way i think.

If it was us that pulled out of the Sharp deal i'd say it's likely there is someone else lined up instead then surely?!

Budgets will have been set long time ago! Not a month before the season starts.

That Jordan guy said on twitter that Gobern has gone.

Does anyone think there will be a signing on thurs or fri to launch the season ticket drive? Would make good marketing if we did.

Another victory tonight. Great bowling performance by Tahir and Shaidi.

I don't think there will be any movement on this until start of July. BCFC want to meet with him when he reports back for pre season to see if he will sign a contract extension. If not I guess they will sell as he will be out of contract at the end of the season.

He has commented again "Funny reading peoples responses to Saints tweet. Relax guys very non specific comment just word round the agent campfire Twitter for BlackBerry® • 21/06/2011 23:01"

Susanna Reid...

It is possible that our main targets have chosen to go to better teams or talking to premiership teams so we are having to wait or look elsewhere. Not back for pre season yet so no need to worry.
