    Cup ties him as well. Not like it really matters, but still.

    We've had a thread on a signing before we even know what it is. I think 5 is an understatement.

    I think the cup tied issues faded out about 10 years or so back - when the FA Cup was important...

    But, im not so sure Hammond will be going out.

    Well, that is a little welcome news!!!

    I have a feeling the M Phillips was a smoke screen...dont think he was so proven and for the money...not worth it.

    Good signing if he is young, hungry and very tallented.

    Yeah it's been speculated Phillips was a smokescreen for the Ramirez deal. I hope so, because it upset Holloway, which is what football is really all about.

    Too true - all the upsetting that goes on in our forum could be directed at that little twat...much better direction of passion.

    Haha! On your point though, why is there a need for a club to smokescreen in the first place? Surely Saints could have done without the 'tapping' up claim?

    Holloway screams about tapping up every time he doesn't want to sell a player.

    More likely to me is that Phillips was one of a number of wingers we made enquiries (have I spelt that right?) about. Probably including several that we will never find out about. But I am pretty certain he would have cost too much now, particularly as we are in the last week of the window.

    Ramirez will sign at 23.05 on Thursday.

    Is my guess.

    I would agree but all reports (including Peach, reporting direct from Adkins) say we lodged a number of bids which were ignored, which is a significant step on from enquiries (I'm sure it's spelt like that but Chrome tells me otherwise - but then it also tries to correct 'spelt'.)

    Brilliant. Lost all respect for him after the game against them last season. He acted like spoilt kid.

    Not tomorrow? It sounds like it's pretty much done.
