    Who do you regard...

    The best player to ever grace the SAFC shirt: Would have this down as Malbranque or Sessegnon based on what I've lived through, Sess was a more explosive player but in terms of dribbling ability Malbranque was horrifying (particularly with his tab habit...) The best signing SAFC have ever made...

    As - The best player to ever grace the SAFC shirt: The best signing SAFC have ever made: The worst player we have ever had: The worst signing we have ever made: And - Who, that we have been linked with in the past that we didn't sign, would you have liked to have seen sign for us...(e.g...

    Lafferty goals

    Consider this a waste of the limited resources we have. Can see him being another Rodwell. Fortunately only a short term deal. Already have a 'Target Man' in Wyke. Why not go for something we don't have up front? Such as... pace...

    Wages will be the issue with McGeady

    Transfer rumours

    Was in our youth team! Then we offered a contract but he went to Ipswich under Keane.

    Transfer rumours

    Oh I agree that he is limited, it is league one and we don't know what the budgets are. However! At the same time, surely you can enquire about fringe/reserve players in the Premiership/Championship who are hungry to show what they are capable of. Realise this would likely be loans only...

    McGeouch gone

    I think McGeouch would have been good if he had a big enforcer alongside him. Someone to do the dirty work and get the ball back and the McGeouch to worry about the creative side of things. Shame really.

    Transfer rumours

    If Phil Parkinson is wanting to try get fans on side, other than winning games he needs to be signing players who can excite the fans and give us something different. Lafferty is the polar opposite to this. Another journeyman who is way past his best (if he ever had one) and has been at 11...

    Transfer Rumours The Freebies

    After a rather underwhelming transfer window (again), do we need to look at some of the freebies available? Whilst obviously not the best players in the world are going to be available, can we afford to be picky at the moment! Some of the names available being: Anderson (formerly of Utd)...

    The Team Next Season...

    I can see mid table next season and then pushing for promotion the season after personally The turnaround of players will make it incredibly difficult

    The Team Next Season...

    If you think about it the player sales should amount to approx £40-60m depending on how many we sell! Letting the likes of Larsson, Oshea, Defoe go automatically means that our wage bill has dropped significantly I think with the parachute payments and some shrewd transfer dealings we could...

    The Team Next Season...

    When you look at the retained list the amount of players staying next season is quite a cause for concern (https://www.safc.com/news/team-news/2017/june/player-retained-list-announcement). Looking at recent transfer rumours and reports this isn't really helped either... As it stands our squad...
