    I could see Osvaldo coming back at this rate. New manager might actually get something out of him.

    Me. I can't run for a bus these days, but then neither could Rickie.

    I'm 53 btw. Is that likely to be a problem?

    We could do with making up with Osvaldo. We need him with Rodriguez out.

    Can't see Osvaldo coming back in.

    Break the bank (and wage structure) for Bony? Gomis? Lacazette?

    No idea.

    But like I said on another thread, with Lambert gone, Lallana almost definitely off and Rodriguez injured, we need to be looking at bringing in players with about 40 goals in them as a collective, it's not particularly likely that any of our other players are going to start banging them in any time soon. That is one hell of a task in one transfer window.

    Rather more concerned about the manager part first. One thing at a time. If it's Koeman we might be able to attract people. If it's Malky we might be getting Jonny Forte back.

    Maybe it's time to pick up the phone and get Guly back in

    Bollocks to Osvaldo, he's not good enough anyway if his recent stint in Italy is anything to go by.

    Who did he fall out with, Jose Fonte wasn't it? Fonte hasn't been linked with anyone yet, so a return for the laughing cavalier does not look likely at this point.

    Paulo Dybala, Romelu Lukaku, Danny Ings and Jay Rodriguez.

    Swansea want £20m for Bony (thats why Liverpool went for their second choice as he was cheap - Rickie) Would take two from him, Lukaku and Ings

    Who the hell knows to be honest? We needed a couple of strikers before this Rickie sale came up out of the blue. But it alright guys because "Les Reed is one of the best in the business at these things, and has of targets that we will be moving for." (whispers): "of course after we sell all of our players who clubs want to buy."

    This would be a good time for us to bring in the new Marian Pahars, Valerijs Sabala.

    Just had a quick look at the official site. Headline reads "Sam (gallagher) Seeing the Positives".

    Your time to shine, boy (**** off Wenger!).

    Borini or Berahino? Bony would be good, but may cost a bit too much. Remy's wages may be a little too much. Odds have cut for us buying Ings apparently.

    We'll probably end up with a Series A striker or two who not many people have heard of.

    Bony won't cost too much if we sell all our players, he just won't want to come!

    Think Saints believe they can bring through even more youngsters...a risky experiment. They need to be grafted onto a good team and not lose their confidence. We've been here before and it didn't work.
