But I don't see why we need him

I think you can sign any EU player who's out of contract at any time because any restriction would contravene EU employment law

Is there any chance that the keys to our black box was people like Paul Mitchell and Bill Green?

I think Liverpool were the only club stupid/desperate enough to pay that much for him so, considering he's hardly played this season and is coming back from a long term injury, came in with an over the top bid hoping it would scare the likes of Chelsea & Man City away and it worked

That's where Swindon played him a fair few times when he was on loan there. I wonder if it would make it sense to play him with Caceres (when he's fit) and drop Yoshida so he can learn on the pitch from a top level CB.

Dangermouth. 4. Trolls like Terry Hurlock used to tackle - obvious and unsophisticated. Needs to realise that subtlety is the way forward or else it's like fishing for goldfish using shark bait. Poor, poor effort. Could do a lot better.

Swindon chairman said in an interview he thought Stephens was going on loan to a Dutch side

Don't be surprised if Jack Stephens goes to QPR on loan now

A friend of mine is taking his Edinburgh show on tour next week and needs some musicians for the Southampton date (it's the only place where nobody has signed up so far). Have a look at this and see what you think: http://www.orchestrachallenge.com/10-day.html

Manè not put up for the post match interview. How long before someone misreads something into it?

I can see us getting another - get in!

Tadic just in the middle of typing about Manè possibly not lasting the full 90 and he delivers the perfect assist - get in!

I think you could stick a brick in our midfield and get more creativity

the only thing you could do is bring Martina on at CB and move Yoshida to LB but I'm not sure that would work

How long is Bertrand out for? I worry that Targett is going to be targeted for the rest of this game and for the upcoming fixtures and it might destroy his confidence.

Although I think our scouting has proved time and time again that there isn't just one target.

I remember the years when we were in L1 & the Championship and fans on here were writing off Schneiderlin. JWP will come good, that's why two successful managers have put their faith in him.

and maybe that's the decision the club finds itself having to make. If we want to step up to the next level, players like Pelle need to be pushed. Although the January sales are a rip off and I'd prefer it if we waited until the summer

And would Demba Ba be good competition for Pelle? Granted, his wages would be a stumbling block.

Just a thought - when his loan is over at Wham and he gets over his neck ache, what does everyone think about Song?

Thought he looked pretty solid. He's got a good eye for the long pass to Pelle in the channel.

I think I'd like to see Isgrove or Hesketh given a run against Burnley

I've not been overly impressed by his first touch or decision making but I'm more than willing to give him enough time to get used to the Premier League. Some players will get it straight away while others will take time to settle. We do need someone to take the pressure off Pelle though.

Why not just a picture of a bench with Lallana's name across the top of it?
