We had several ITKs this morning claim we're in for a LB today, so if there's one able to get done I think we'll go for it.
Yeah but who? Baines/Coentrao aren't coming, who else improves us?
Even if you take a dim view of Rose there are few, if any out there available today, that could come in today, and do better.

Be surprised if it wasn't about the team's. Providential are hardly the first lender that spring to mind!

It wasn't about the clubs or the players at those clubs. It was us on the phone sorting loan deals. No specific clubs or players mentioned, but as the day has gone on I reckon he was on about Carroll and BAE to QPR.

i just had a dejavu moment


What, again?


For those of us that have been stupid enough to have been in here, or here abouts, all day, this had at times been excruciating. It just goes round and round and round.

Oh, and I think some people reckon we're done aswell.....

Anyone know how long is left on Hulks contract? Just occurred to me that if he has say 2 years left now his value may drop by an amount not dissimilar to the loan fee in a years time. E.g if worth 40m now and we get him next year for 30m with no risk for a season whilst we see if he is a success?

Completely agree. I have no idea who, but you'd think Baldini ad AVB could draw up a list and find someone. If they've found the right player and can see a deal being done, then go for it. If not, I think Rose will be starter (AVB has said in the past he'd be in his plans).

Still feel a NATURAL left back is needed.

Nobody better? Are you saying that BAE and rose are the third and forth best LB's in world football then???

Of course there are better players out there!

Agreed, it's like being in the recreation room at an old peoples' home today!

Thank god I'm not a mod.

Was going to make a donation but reckon it wil only get pissed away on Valium and bourbon.

If you're not spending money on valium or bourbon you're not spending money well.

Eh, apart from if you're in control of a large sports club. In which case you should certainly spend any amount on Mata. *shifty*

Ben Arfa is starting to look half decent, not sure we need him though. Don't think anyone in th Southampton squad would get into our first team, maybe Lambert might be a half decent backup.

Joking right? Luke Shaw is a class act!

if only we had an established left back with loads of premier league experience who had been a vital part of a team that finished 4th twice and got to the quarter finals of the champions league.

I really can't think of anyone "jaw dropping" that would come to us.
Can think of plenty of good players but none that would be worth the 40m that was spoken of last night.
Can't wait for today to be over.
