This, Cardiff lose tonight and IF we beat them next week, we will be at worst 7 points clear of the relegation zone, 8 if Fulham lose to Man U. Annoying the way the match ended, but both sides showed why they are where they are in the league.

is that not just for them to sign players themselves?

Seems like Birmingham are leaking info to the press to drum up interest and start a bidding war.

Speaking of Promes, not exactly setting La Liga alight.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/youll-need-pay-least-15m-sign-southampton-players-agent-quizzed-exit/ After CSKA were linked with a £5m move for Gabbiadini in the Russian media, his agent has said the asking price is £15m.

He paid for the takeover with loans, which is probably being paid off using that TV money and with interest.

Maybe a few years ago, but those injuries ruined him.

As all our current strikers either can't stay fit (Austin) or score goals (The rest) we should stay away from Ings especially for the sort of money being quoted you could get a player that might be good for that price.

They were going to negotiate personal terms at Alton Towers, but he wasn't tall enough to get on The Smiler so they called the deal off.

I don't want to sound like a lunatic here, but I think I'll wait until he plays for us before passing judgement on his ability or how good a signing he is.

If the player has a release clause and the club have really offered the "correct fee" which I would take to mean the release clause, then surely Spartan not finding a replacement would be irrelevant.

Looks like club PR setting up the old "well, we tried" excuse. Will make for an interesting atmosphere at St Mary's if we don't win and it is obvious nobody else is joining.

Or we'll scrape through a plan b signing that leaves fans decidedly underwhelmed.

So, the answer to S-Clarke's question is 0 times then. Maybe he will be good, maybe he will be ****. Won't know until we see him play for us.

Yet to do anything in the PL to suggest he's anything more than an overhyped myth.

Need to put pressure on the board otherwise it may be a case of too little, too late by the time they do it of their own volition.

If Chelsea are desperate enough to entertain the idea of signing Peter Crouch, Imagine what the equivalent would be for a club in our position.

No point protesting just the manager when it was Les Reed and Co that picked Puel (a poor manager for us)and replaced him with Pellegrino (far worse). I have no doubt Pellegrino will only get sacked when people ask more questions of the board and channel more frustration their way.

How can anyone be shocked that the club were using pet journalists to blow smoke up our asses after selling VVD? We probably got as far as fee and wage demands and said no.

You can buy as many strikers as you like, if we have a dunce in the dugout who will make the team drop deep as soon as we have a lead (with defenders that can't cope in the air), it won't make an ounce of difference.

Manager's cowardly tactics cost us again, even if the second goal should never have counted. Mccarthy should still have claimed it before doucoure had the chance to cheat.

In terms of goal return, Gabbiadini has never been prolific. He had a good start here, but before signing had never done anything to suggest he would be a consistent goalscorer. Only made double figures twice and the last time he did that was 2014/15.

Replacing Countinho with Dusan Tadic... A scary prospect for the scousers.

Fulham have rested more players than we have for this game. A failure to win here would be the most embarrassing result of the season.

Another game where the clueless manager got outmaneuvered by the opposing manager. Though that is not to say the players aren't also to blame for another cowardly, gutless performance.
