Right, just finished packing for tomorrow’s holiday after a long day at work and a long drove home. All packed just in time to see who we sign on the last hour of the window!! Roll on Les’ big smiling grin at 5 minutes to midnight with his arm around our new £30m striker.

Have I missed anything else during the day?

You know the window shut at 5pm? You're a few hours late!
 
If I dislike someone, then them having talent makes me dislike them more. It's being a smug bastard that I hate about Ronaldo and he probably wouldn't be smug without talent.
I do have to point out that I don't know the man so I have no real basis for disliking him.

I love Ronaldo :emoticon-0115-inlov for his brilliance. He always delivers. For his team ethic. See how he plays and leads Portugal. And Madeira loves him too.

I don’t judge him on normal human terms. I forgive him his apparent arrogance because he is so bloomin good

Btw my spellchecker isn’t keen on him, insists he’s called Ronaldinho <laugh>

Madeira loves him is an understatement. Couldn't take a step on Madeira without tripping over a reference to him. <laugh>

An English International Striker coming from one of the top 6 was never going to come cheap in today's inflated market, who else could we get at that price anyway?.I would say that we could probably afford him considering the money we have pulled in from the massive sales we have made before.
 
In the pre Match interview, Hughes said that Gao was one of the people who was present for a celebratory drink when Ings met Hughes last night.

Gao appears to be able to keep a low profile when here, as does his cheque book...!!

Lucas Perez? £4m from Arsenal to West Ham? That looks a bargain, as for Ings time will tell.

I don't know the circumstances but it is very rare that you get a quality Striker for as little as that, there must've been a reason Arsenal let him go so cheaply like QPR did with Chaz.

I think his contract may be up soon.

Either way all of our signings have improved our squad, so satisfactory window. Let's see how our additions perform.

I’m perfectly happy for him to remain in the background. Though obviously, like all Saints fans, I’d be happy to see a bit more of his cheque book.

I’m happy enough with this window though, all things considered. Nice to be the buyer for once, in a deal with Liverpool.
 
Fulham press saying we came back to them towards the end of the window prepared to a deal on Targett at 15m.
Hope that's them trying to save face as otherwise a bit embarrassing.
 
Hughes said offers come and go on the last day, but I hope we weren't considering letting Targett go....because if we keep him it would be better for him to think we really wanted him. I'm hoping for good things from Matty this season.

Whether it is true or not, Fulham are bang out of order. If true, have some decorum. If false, don’t make **** up.

I’d tell them to **** off next time they want to deal with us. ...


Unless Sessignon fancies the south coast :)
