Saints foreva Posted 24 January, 2011 Share Posted 24 January, 2011 The Guly deal was announced in the morning I believe. Yeah it was but let's be honest, that wasn't really a surprise as Adkins had already said he wanted to make it permanent. Lallana's new contract was announced at night.

David Strover Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 Apparently the Charlie Austin signing is off. In a sensational last minute twist the Swindon striker refused to sign after complaining about having to drive back and forth to Southampton to have medicals and be shown around the facilities every day for the last fortnight. Remember the real Keyser Söze was Roger 'Verbal' Kint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably get a police escort all the way down to Southampton. I'm going out to the 419 he might pass by......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can give them all 5 year contract so they are still with us when we get to the PL (all being well) even better.

Turkish Posted 25 January, 2011 Share Posted 25 January, 2011 (edited) An excellent strategy. But what about when Tommy Forecast gets injured? We could probably do with a couple of extra keepers as well. Although if we base this on England, they take 3 in a squad of 22 for a maximum 7 game tournement, using that ratio we need 144 players which would include 19 goalkeepers to get us through a 46 game season, we urgently need to strengthen, get the cheque book out Cortese FFS.
