Good point. I would take him.

On a years long deal I would take Crouch over Benteke too.

I'd still like him at Palace. Would be great backup to Wilf and Townsend. If Charlie Austin could stay fit I'd take him too, plus Tadic of course. However, the first two I think would stay at Saints if they went down and Tadic would probably get an offer from a bigger club. Bertrand has always looked like a good player, but with PvA, Souare and Schlupp I don't think we need another LB.

Thank God we didn't get Pellegrino and that we have a Chairman who was brave enough to hold his hands up and correct things quickly. Saints should never have been in this position and now psychologically they just look a mess.

Similar comment from my Birmingham supporting friend who said that he blew hot and cold when with them.

Moritz Bauer has been pretty decent for them in the last few games. Only joined them in January, so may not be cheap - or willing to move on - but would be good elsewhere.

And it would mean we could sing "get Moritz out for the lads' again . . .

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

I still think Burke is a huge talent and could be a star, would benefit from playing with Wilf and Andros. Otherwise Shaqiri would be an absolute no brainier but would have presumably have better offers.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Jake Livermore from WBA would be a good squad addition and would help add some much needed depth. Couldn’t see Him costing the earth either.
