January transfer window

If its true that we are after him, even if we don't get him its a step in the right direction and shows the clubs ambition.

Another Keegan type signing would be very welcome, and might stop a couple of our players getting itchy feet come January.

I gather JRod is out for another 6 weeks. Or to put it another way, until the day after the transfer window closes.

As well as promising youngsters from non league, how about a proven winger?

The Saints are finalising the deal of Holland winger Eljero Elia, who played in the World Cup Final in South Africa against Spain...

Would be delighted if we signed Ryan Bertrand and, more particularly, Toby Alderweireld on permanent, long term deals. Unfortunately, can't see it happening.

If we did no other business that would satisfy this fan.

I second that.

I reckon there is a reasonable chance that Bertrand will sign, but that Toby will be on his way come the end of the season. So lets enjoy his considerable skills while we can and whatever happens, happens.

Some papers have us linked with Jordan Rhodes but I think that ship sailed a while back (?)
