2 big signings would be Morgan & puncheon both putting pen to new contract

In all fairness there are only a few non superstar ex players who are instantly recognisable I know very little about the supporters club If they had ex players who are raconteurs to speak after the games it would be very tempting to get a membership The club could pick who they want I expect a lot of the ex players would be happy with a couple tickets & travel expenses

Watching Cortese standing like a victorious gladiator/mafia don after slaying every chairman/owner/manager/agent who dare to get in the way of saints

Adkins is better off telling villa he will take the job of promotion challenge next season

Could Adkins show some pure class & tell Cortese to shove the money & use it to help the saints foundation

Puncheons dodgy guts might explain why nobody wanted to mark him

Sacking Nigel Adkins was extreamly harsh But Cortese must have looked at the problems between Pardew going & Adkins arriving & decided to have his new man lined up similar to loyal Stuart Gray leaving & WGS instant appointment Biggest test for NC is what new signings arrive before Wigan

Can see Gazza being named as sub so that he can translate in game instructions Also how is gaston's English ? & can Morgan speak Spanish ?

Nigel Adkins best saints manager I have seen in over 23 years of support As eccentric as the day is long Good luck in your next job Top top bloke

I can see Rickie becoming a heroic super sub putting all of energy into 30 min cameo appearances similar to man city & Chelsea His strengths are in order Strength ( although to strong for his own good at times ) Heading Holding play up Bringing others into game Passing Shooting Drifting into space Using all his energy for the team Not to mention pens

Seem to remember WGS admitting to not knowing the difference between Claus & Jo Tessem when he 1st arrived Lawrie Mac spoke Geordie Alan Ball squeaked Hoddle spouted b0110cks WGS/ Souness spoke a version of Scottish Adkins spoke fluent Adkins MP admits to researching the team for a few weeks which suggests he will have had lessons in speaking English I am hoping that MP will have successfully raided la liga before the transfer deadline

I want to see rickie be able to do a job I always thought MLT could have done... Become the heroic super sub who comes on to try to get the result either by closing a game out or getting an equaliser or better still winner but having luxury of if he fails not his fault If his fitness last he could do a job for many seasons to come

I thought I saw the perfect goal oct 93 v Newcastle But MLT said it wasn't quite

Is that £5m & Theo Walcott ? Otherwise no deal

As has been said saints would want stupid money £10m+ up front & £5m+ in add ons just to start negotiations If the boy wants to go yes AOC may tell him about the mega wages but he should talk to Jake Sinclair about how many seconds of 1st team football Scott has played since big money move from Swansea to city

Cut out the stupid cards for dissent , kicking ball away , diving But yes be more aggressive/ determined in chasing the ball down & holding on to the lead

Has Cortese ever heard of keep friends close & enemies closer If you remove MLT pens he would have scored over 160 goals in 540 games a ratio of 1 in 3.375 (2.57 including pens) In comparison SRL with pens removed would have scored 69 goals in 176 games a ratio of 1 in 2.55 (1.85 including pens) Have no idea what their assist stats are

Sir Ted Bates end of

The suggestion of becoming part of saints front 4 wouldn't mean Walcott playing as a right winger but rotating across the front line Not that I can see him returning but his pace with the through balls of Lallana & Gaston & knock downs from Lambert would be amazing & would see loads of goals

Theo show some loyalty rejoin saints & become part of the fluid saints front 4 Lambert Lallana Gaston Walcott

'Lets all have a curry' echoed all around the dell What went mlt's head to pick out franny the man who never scored?

It is a big gamble for both parties Punch signs new contract now JP + future sorted no matter what happens form/injury SFC + future sorted JP - could play brilliant & have been offered better deal SFC - form/injury/attitude problems Punch/saints waits JP + gets better deal offered SFC + loss of form/injury/attitude jp plays to convince JP - bad 2nd half season worse deal offered SFC - jp gets better offer elsewhere Personally would be tempted to offer deal with with for arguement sake £5m buy out clause

rickie is just too honest

Even the opposition bow down in respect of greatness

Wasn't Fran Benali the hardest working saint in the community for years?
