I'm not itk but city should try and do a swap deal plus cash with Taylor or stead going to Bradford for nahki wells

Also

I really think that Albert is going although IMO he's the most overrated player in the championship he's going to be highly publicised with playing in Africa cup of nations who h will only increase the amount of clubs looking at him so therefore IMO I would bring in Ritchie of Swindon got bags of potential and still young also very highly rated by a host of clubs

Come on lansdown get your wallet out and back o Driscoll

Sean O'Driscoll's cider army

As a Forest fan I would say Defenders is what you want, SOD got our midfield and strikers playing great passing and attacking football but was defence that was issue....even with a few decent players we were leaking silly goals which I think is what lead to his downfall but he is a nice guy and a good coach who try to play good football, he has an eye for a bargain and gets the best out of average players and youngsters....hope he does well for ya!

Will grigg and Jon taylor have been mentioned a lot by people in the know.As he wants to make the U21s competitive and add different types of players for depth
Mpstly targeting out of contract players.Then a few

The sacking of Nigel Adkins is a disgrace. He brought them from near the bottom of League 1 to the Prem in 3 seasons on a low budget. What were the Southampton board expecting, 15th in the one of the toughest leagues in the world and being sacked after drawing against the champions of Europe from 2 goals down. And to add to that bringing in an unproven manager who can't speak a word of English...an utter shamble!

Just another few nails in the coffin for football, a succesfull popular manager is sacked and allardyce is charged by the persons at the fa for telling the truth, refs are terrified of fergie their first and only priority is not to get on the wrong side of old big hooter the penalty descisions in the man you west ham match were diabolical , west ham get knocked out of the cup and he gets a charge for pointing out what all of football knows.the game is losing all credibility

Middlesbrough will not buy anyone until the summer

What I don't understand is, Warnock is saying about Becchio "We're not the ones turning his head so after the deadline he'll get down to it and be back to normal". However, when we enquire about a player, Sean Harvey is told "not for sale" end of enquiry. How does it not work both ways??

Southampton Fans need to remember where we were before Marcus Liebherr appointed Cortese as Chairman.

We are now a well run, financially sound club with excellent prospects. Just like the sacking of Pardew this has come as a shock but look how much better off we are now.

We need to put faith in the chairman and get behind the new manager, it's not his fault Adkins was sacked after all.

The last thing we need is a fan's revolt look what that's doing to Chelsea.

Adkins has been a hero for us and yes it seems like poor timing but it is done. Send of Adkins with the applause he deserves on Monday night but do not revolt against the new man.

Thats a great post, couldn't agree more. I thought adkins was great but our league position was still on a knife edge. cortese has not let us down yet, so deserves the benefit of the doubt. I will be really gutted, if on monday night some negativity in the crowd scuppers our chances of beating everton. all the best for the future nige COYR!

Agree with the first post and one thing we should all remember Adkins did not do it all on his own, without Cortese there would be NO Southampton

AFC Bournemouth sign Ryan Fraser on a 3 1/2 year deal. Can't wait to see him playing.... UTCIAD

I am so angry with the sacking of Nigel Adkins, this new guy has a lot to prove or the fans will make him leave. There's only one Nigel Adkins.

Bailey

Newcastle fan here and I'm baffled by this news. Adkins was on a decent run the team obviously up for the fight after the Chelsea result.

How can Pardew still be in a job if Adkins was deemed not good enough?

Saints seemed to be doing well, out of the drop zone, battling draw at Stamford Bridge, what's going on? Owners about to cut and run? Makes no sense, sorry for him and the fans Bryhr Pilgrim

First of all shocked and stunned adkins has been sacked, if this is normal football is in a very sorry state. Secondly typical newcastle fan making this sad news, all about them!SGBS

QPR will only sell DJ as there is no point loaning him out only to let him leave on a free in the summer. Cisse off to the far east. Looks like QPR have the only firm offer on the table for M'Villa to sign on a permanent basis in the window with other clubs looking to loan till the summer with a view to buy but things change very quickly as we all know. Expect a CB in soon looks like Harry is holding out to see if we can get a couple of points closer to safety to make the prospect more inviting, although Bramble has been touted I really can't see that happening, with a reputation only matched by Emile Heskey!! Would love to see Chris Samba but find that very unlikely. Peter Odemwingie looks probable if the press are to be believed, Livermore is no longer coming in due to Sandro being injured, I would also expect Harry to have another trick up his sleeve. Oh yeah Mackie is going nowhere !!

Qpr on the slippery slope to oblivion

Zola linked with a move to chelsea at the end of the year to appease the chelsea fans. Personally can't see it but it is in today's daily paper

Hopefully he will stay at Watford to continue the project he has started at Watford with the pozzo family
