Fixed that for you

We've still got Fonte. We'll replace Toby. No big deal.

ROFL! My favourite meltdown thread for ages!

Just imagine if we were able to somehow persuade Steven Gerard to come to us on loan for a season! Imagine if he scored against Liverpool and celebrated wildly, kissing his Saints badge and jumping over the barriers to hug our fans! Aaaah, if only life could be like my imagination....

If the situation's unchanged then he's signing for Saints, as he said he'd like to a few weeks ago. However, as everything we've heard is no doubt made up, he'll be off to the highest bidder soon (Spurs probably), in which case we should sign Van Dijk

Maybe he's haggling over wages

Can't see us replacing him with anyone as talented this transfer window. We'd need to be in CL and able to offer silly wages to do that. Can't help feeling that losing Morgan will drop us down a place or two in the league by the end of the season. Despite that, I don't begrudge him going to a CL team. He's earnt that opportunity. If he goes to Spurs or, dare I say it, Liverpool (surely he wouldn't?!), I'd be very disappointed.

Even if the foreign player turned out to be more motivated and impressed more in training?

Corrected that for you

In signing Cedric, I think RK would've seen it as we then had 2 RB's of similar quality to compete for a first team place.

I guess he just decided he'd rather play first team football at Liverpool than sit on the bench at Saints. Says it all about the direction of travel for both clubs. Wouldn't be surprised if Saints are already discussing terms with his replacement

I've long been resigned to him leaving. Just disappointing that it had to be Liverpool - shows a lack of ambition and prioritising wages above development as a player imo. Oh well. His loss more than ours.

Surely we signed Juanme instead? With Jay Rod back as well, that completes our additional strikers for next season

I reckon there's a very good chance it will be on TV, as it's on Sunday and the TV companies will be looking for a game to show that day. I'm going for Home against Norwich

Great. I can't get the Thunderbirds music out of my head now.

Suprised Arsenal aren't favourites to sign Morgan. Why on Earth would Austin pick Newcastle over Saints?!!

£15m sounds about right. Everyone's fees will be higher this year because of new tv money. Would be a great addition. We need much more strength in depth now we've got Europa to consider as well

Inter Milan want Ramirez?!!! Now I know they definitely make this stuff up!

Strikes me as a good fit. I can definately seeing him doing well there. Might even get them to the Prem

I see West Ham are through to Europa via fair play, meaning the season will start for them on July 2nd! The more I learn about this competition the more I think we'll have dodged a bullet if Villa win the cup! If we qualify, I hope we go for it, but I'm right behind Les's hint that we'll field more youngsters than we would in league games, at least in the early stages. Far too risky with a small squad otherwise.

Less stripes on the child's shirt? Not so keen on that

Think we should wait until after the transfer window closes before adding anyone to the banner. After last summer, I don't trust any of them!

A thing of beauty. Very happy with that :-)

Not looking great for Jay Rod either. Is it just me or was he mumbling and slurring a bit in his interview?
