    A striker worse than the four we already have? Sounds good, bring him in.

    In match review on Vitesse's website, Buttner still not 100% certain. He said after the game that this was not necessarily his last game there. The clubs are there but I'm not...my agent is in Southampton.

    Still watch this space.

    My mistake I know, but I have just been on the Echo website. You have to laugh at the quality of the reporting. These are the opening lines on a piece discussing Adkins transfer dealings this time around:

    "NIGEL Adkins has so far signed two new players for Saints’ Premier League return, with a third expected to arrive soon.

    And it’s certainly safe to say he is only halfway through his transfer preparations.

    The St Mary’s boss has so far brought in a striker, a central midfielder and a left back. "

    Signed two players and named three positions! You have to laugh.

    Not sticking up for the echo, I'm sure they're terrible, but that seems awfully fussy.

    I thought the Echo piece was good. As you can see from our threads, it can be hard to keep things going when things are quiet. They did a good summation of our present position, especially the need to move some fringe players on. We mustn't be too greedy...reward such players by making it easy for them to find new clubs...some will be on lower PL wages now which makes it difficult.

    Spurs will sign Zaha.
    He will sit in their reserves/bench up to Christmas and get loaned out to Charlton at the end of the January transfer window.

    Zaha's a strange one, he has a lot of ability, it just happens when we played them Adkins had a fantastic plan to prevent him doing anything which effectively stopped Palace from getting any result against us.

    He has a temperament which I see as his main problem, plus I wonder how Zaha and Danny Fox would get on considering Fox kept kicking him up in the air at St. Mary's and I know Zaha expressed his dislike of that over twitter.

    Overall, I would have him for £6m as he has a big future in the game and its scary to think he's still only 19. I wouldn't want to pay any more than that though.

    Does every single other manager have the same "fantastic plan" then?

    I was merely justifying the games against us, but the matches from what I've seen him in against other teams he has shown a lot of ability, he regularly beats his man, has bundles of amount of skill and a lot of pace. No doubt I have noticed his crossing does let him down but that's the same with a lot of wingers these days. Possibly, one of the reasons he has lacked in assists is down to the front man, Palace fans stated they need an out and out goal scorer. Whereas, we have Lambert!! Plus, the big thing is he is only 19 and has a lot of experience for someone that age. I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of his but I can see there is a talent and if Adkins wants him and sees him fitting in then I am all for it.

    Zaha is over rated, just because he is fast. He has hardly any skill and is a crap finisher. He also winges like a little girl, like he did against us <laugh>

    His whinging could be the problem as he will surely find it harder in the top league.
