    Do you think Jose has been humming OWTS in the Portuguese dressing room to get them in the mood. :)

    So he's the 12th most used player, "multi purpose". In our terms, he's Rory Delap.

    A multifaceted defender, useful I'd imagine, especially in a post-Toby Weireld.

    Buying a left back for 10M when we have Bertrand and Targett just doesn't make any sense.

    If he's right footed and also plays on the right, then his current position may not be the one we are interested in. We will see I guess.

    Love that machine-translated headline above: "Maxi can get another 4 years in the light". Qhat happens in 4 years time?!

    "Right! Time's up Maxi! Eternal darkness for you forever now!"

    Opinions! I wonder if Siggy is better at nicking the ball back and keeping the momentum going than Steve Davis??? It's all about ifs and buts and maybes.

    What really amazes me is that up until 3 months ago, we'd have been moaning if Steve Davis wasn't available. Football is about the pieces in the jigsaw puzzle doing their part. Of course Davis would be better still if he scored goals, but that just happens not to be his forte.

    Makele would have been better if he scored goals for example. He didn't he gave other things.

    I'll repeat again what I have said a few times now, Cleverley was not what I wanted, but to those who simply derided him, I am saying he is a far better player than people think.

    Put it this way, Cleverley is a better player than Vilhena

    Not if Vilhena joins Saints...he then automatically becomes the bees knees.

    Bertrand praised Saints and has signed a contract recently and was upset with his treatment at Chelsea (they blocked a move saying they would play him more and didn't), so it would take a very desperate newshound to turn that into a transfer request.

    Makele was a DM and not expected to score many but Steve is our attacking midfielder playing in advance of our two DMs so would expect him to score up to 10 goals a season. Lets face it he could have easily scored a hayrick against Spuds at SMS but completely fluffed them all.
    He adds a lot to the team in hoovering up the ball in midfield and distributing but there are many box to box midfielders who can also score
