You might be onto something here...

 

How do you know talks have started?

I was on to something when I had written his name weeks ago.

 

Saints are in talks, as we are with an out of contract player.

To be fair, this guy looks phemonenal! He looks to be a better, faster verison of a Snodgrass for example and would come at a fraction of the price. He seems to have a great shot, great skill, great cross.

[MOSaint]

Got a 3 month ban at the end of the season for chucking a bottle at a referee over a penalty decision, Howard Webb beware...

 

We do need a RM so hopefully if this guy is coming in he'll do well.

 

looks to have bags of pace and a good shot on him, going by the video.

It's not Owen or Heskey is it?

[S-Clarke]

I remember how good SDR looked on youtube....pace makes you look very good in highlights, but if you've got nothing else to your game it's pretty pointless.

 

Hopefully this guy has a bit more to him!

I know, that was what I was saying and I linked to you predating the newspapers.

Who is the out of contract player?

[Saint Garrett]

Who is the out of contract player?

Seedorf, Del Piero, Nesta, Owen or Heskey.

Wikipedia: "Benítez failed to find the net during the 2011–12 season, starting in 26 of his 30 league appearances." Oops.

[del boy]

has he got the bottle?

Tranquillo Barnetta perhaps.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Tranquillo Barnetta perhaps.

 

In a 'using our Swiss connections' way? Would be a good signing. Wasn't he linked with Newcastle last year?

[St Jim]

Banned for 3 months for throwing a bottle at a ref. Is this the type of guy Adkins would want?

But if Barney were to go as some have suggested, who else would we have who might be handy with a bottle...?

[skintsaint]

Well with this link and the Jarvis link it seems we are looking for a pacey left winger at least....if the links are true enough of course!

Exactly my thoughts.
