Well we can now expect to definitely see 1 or 2 CB's arrive for the season now Martin has joined Palace on loan.

 

I'm hoping with Martin gone for the season that means we have someone lined up as a replacement.

Caulker from Spurs would be a good purchase. If they would sell of course.

Swansea will be all over that one. I think they are trying for another year loan.

Imagine if we did sign Butland, Rodriguez and Clyne to start with. Would make for quite a future wouldn't it, plenty of good young English talent that'll increase in value.
they all feel like `our' type of signings these days. Add Zaha, Mutch and Davies in there and that would be a very good window.

I reckon he'll stay at Spurs anyway, seeing as they're a CB down with Ledley King being released.

Dinner over. Cryptic clue; not everything is necessarily Black or White! #saintsfc

 

Rob Green then?

 

That's actually a bloody good shout given the clue.

Some guys found cryptic clue too easy. Well done. Think he is top target ahead of his Euro 2012 team mate #saintsfc

Peter White has confirmed that he understands Saints' top keeping target is Rob Green.

 

I read the other day he wanted £45k a week and was joining Malaga who are in the champions league next season.

Well he doesnt want to play under fatty anymore so very possible. Would be quite happy really, how old is he anyway?

 

31 I think.

We'd better get those 4 new centre halfs in and drilled pronto.

 

7 at the back, 2 holding midfielders and Rickie up top on his own.

 

And this season we can put 5 defenders on the bench, leaving space for a back up keeper and forward to link up with Rickie for a stoppage time sucker punch

Anyway Saints fans, now Martin has gone to Palace you need central defensive cover, because all clubs have upson downs! #saintsfc

 

Upson as well? Oh dear. Hope this guy isn't too reliable...

Echo said today Upson was just a rumour and we weren't interested in him. Sounds like he's another journalist trying to be ITK and talking ******.

It's all very well signing young up and coming lads and I'd be happy if we signed Butland as well but at this level IMO a keeper should have experience, especially as its our first season back.

 

Take United at the start of the season for example, De Gea at times didn't know his a4se from his elbow. He was also the reason Kompany scored in the derby too costing them the title.

Fraser Forster - Newcastle goalkeeper who has been on loan at Celtic

 

Is that your suggestion, or a rumour you've heard ?

 

Probably a good choice, less cost and more realistic a target than Butland.

I agree we need a couple of experienced players as well. We certainly need a leader on the pitch. I think Green and Upson would give us that and would both be decent signings. I be surprised if we got them both though as as I said above I heard Green was off to Malaga and we weren't interested in Upson.

Leeds on the tele will have had quite a major bearing on that I'd of thought.

I'm pretty sure it was Smalling's mistake that allowed Kompany to score. He allowed himself to get blocked off by Ferdinand, which meant he couldn't follow Kompany's run. Keeper had little to do with it.

De Gea ran round his own defender who was stood on the line next to him and lost his position, if he'd stood where he was it would've gone straight at him.

 

Smalling should have done better too, I agree.

Can't see us getting Green. I also really hope we don't get Green. If we did sign Green it would be ironic as Kelvin could of left us to sit on the bench in the premier league for west ham while Green played. But he stayed loyal and more than played his part to get us back to the premier league. Now he could possibly end up bench warming for Green, for us in the premier league. Its just totally wrong in my opinion.

Plus super Kelvin has been proved a better keeper than Green this year. He was chosen as the goalkeeper for the championship team of the year.

 

Whittlingham has proved to be better than Morgan. Would you swap the two?

 

 

Thought not

 

If we are going on stats on best npc players. About a third of the league scored more points than Guly. Yet he is worth a place in our prem squad... Apparently
