    In the grand scheme of the club, its probably behind striker and goalkeeper at least (and maybe a commanding CB, I know we have loads of them but they arent really good enough). But I had forgotten Charles is injured for a considerable amount of time, which makes it more valid.

    Downes is still a good player at this level, if you can keep him away from raw food products.

    Hopefully when he arrives, he marches into the dressing room, picks up Stephens by the balls and screams "Gimme that armband!"

    On Wednesday the Saints players are now going to hear the Saints fans chanting the name of a player who may not have even signed yet, all game. <laugh>

    I know a guy whose mate gets bits of Saints info from time to time, which has usually been reliable. Towards the end of the summer he said Romeu might be coming back, but it never happened and I thought nothing of it. Just spoke to him and he said apparently it was lined up for the summer as the club wanted him, but Still didn’t.

    Only thing I can add is that this is really, really, really good news.

    He bleeds red and white.
