Saint Charlie

He is in the tighter games where you really need to dig in though.

Wonder what Adkins said on transfers after the game?

It said the house was rented by SFC, didn't actually say it was Cortese that lived there I don't think. Didn't sound good though haha!

No, we have Lallana, AOC and N'Guessan to play out wide and he wants to play in he CCC hence the transfer request. Will either stay or go to Norwich.

But Jaidi won't play, he will be saved for the league game.

We don't need another winger really, he wouldn't get in the team if AOC stays so no benefit for Cook as he wants games.

Jaidi definately won't play. I doubt Fonte will either but he may do.

I reckon Fonte might be rested and Martin and Seaborne at the back with Bart, Butterfield and Harding. Default midfield of AOC, Chaplow, Morgan and N'Guessan with Lambert and Barnard up front.

Wonder if we will have a Scout there, or if we are actually interested.

Not much of a big deal this.

Pboro have a game tonight, away to Colchester. If Mackail-Smith plays it would be fair to say we are a fair bit away for any deal for him.

Going to Norwich if anywhere - they obviously don't want to let him go.

In the case of Austin: He knows Eddie Howe very well, and Burnley could be in the Prem next year. Totally understandable move.

Was Nicola wearing training kit with GS on it?

Its still some way off a Javi de Pedro thread....

Van der Sar, Evra and Rafael not travelling, otherwise "strong squad".

Fonte cost 1.2m I think. We would have known to buy Austin or Mackail-Smith would cost more than that so no point chasing those players if we didn't have it to spend.

Good that we could match a bid of 2m. Especially when according to some we have no money. Would probs have been a record transfer for this league or thereabouts.

You are beginning to get very tedious.....used to be a good poster.

Fair comments too.

We might have done but I would like to think we wouldn't absolutely waste our time chasing someone we know costs over a million. Im sure we wouldn't. And we wouldn't both asking about CMS if we could only afford to pay say 300k.

Key thing is that we were after him, and have talked with Pboro about Mackail-Smith. Both these players would cost upwards of 1m so we obviously have money to spend and would like a new striker.

Only way Pulis can join in.

No pre match comments from Adkins yet? Maybe he is busy sealing a deal for Messi?

Must be the lure of Paul Jewell...Football Managing Genius.....
