Yes...No...Maybe. What does it matter? Worrying about Reading is enough for me.

He's been a coach at the club before, I believe left shortly before taking the Soton job - so wouldn't at be surprising if he came back as he's highly rated here. Another example of the weird thinking by Southampton board to sack him. He would be a huge asset on the coaching team, even if only for ...

£1.6m for Tommy Smith??? Christ, this'll be on SSN for days. The Kaka saga will have nothing on this.

PardewsLoveChild But not to worry,we've got Gunnarsson

Cheap shot. You pick our 'worst' central midfielder (no disrespect to Gunnar), but avoid Tabb, Karacan, Matejovsky? Whilst neither are in the exact mould of Harper, the team has to evolve.

Whilst Harper has been a loyal servant etcetera, I will gladly see him replaced a more attacking midfielder* that actually gives us options. Whilst he's served us well, I couldn't hand on heart say that I'd miss him. Yes, he's probably under-rated in what he contributes to the team, but he doesn't g...

I am truly shocked after this season's form that he is so highly regarded. Not suggesting that I feel the fountain of all knowledge when it comes to football, but on this one, I...just...don't....get...it Tis easy. He's 28, so he's in his financial prime for what we can get for him. £5m makes absol...

Geekins and didn't play that good.

Nobody has played good for Portsmouth for months. Hardly a turn up for the books.

Super_horns He is better as a winger than out and out forward...

He's better staying where he is and not darkening our door.

This is almost as funny as Harper to Fulham for £7m. Nothxkbai.

cmonurz Is Carew injured? Weird signing by Villa otherwise - Heskey doesn't fit their style of play at all.

Carew is likely to be out for the season. It's a reasonable offer for Villa to make. They've only got Harewood (LOL) and Delfouneso up front who are any great height, so they need a target man.

Gunny Fishcake Heskey to Villa for £3.5m and Hunt to Wigan for £5m !!

Am I missing something here ?

Yep, Heskey's contract is up in the summer. Hunts isn't.

It's what the contract is worth, not the player. (Or what figure is the trigger in the release clause)

5 mill for Shunt ... 3.5 mill for Surman and Llallana (spelling ?) ... 1.5 mill for that Jamal guy ... then all we need to concentrate on is getting in a decent CB who is the right side of 30 ! ... You presume we'd get £5m in one chunk. We won't. Not a chance. Try looking a whole 3 posts above your...

I'm sure this rumour is at least three seasons late.

Wycombe Royal

loyalroyal4life First player in a long time that potentially we will sign that isnt Irish!!

The signing of Chris Armstrong was so long ago wasn't it?

He's a Geordie (more or less) which is, almost, the same thing.

Is that like Kiwi's and Aussie's are 'almost, the same thing.'?

Simple really - it's now 'too high' as nobody is biting. Spurs could have, but they've gone for the headline buying deal for Palacios. Everton could have, but they're skint. Wigan now could, but it depends on the structure of the deal they got for Palacios. They could have other irons in the fire be...

Would rather have Kris Commons.... I know of at least two Forest fans who think he's lazy, and overrated by opposition fans who only see his best bits. See: Kightly, Seol. I can only think of two Forest fans who I know. Ditto. I know one Forest fan and he thinks just the same with the added "m...

He went off at half-time last night against Man U, so I guess the eye socket thing isn't an issue.

Methinks he's thinking of Jason Culina.
