No Gallagher for Southampton today

Probably because he isn't a very good player at premier league level mate

This is true hence linked with us ..

I'm sure they are working hard behind the scenes to deliver one good loan deal but i'm not holding out much hope now it's been an odd window all round.

If we get one in I think it might be Chapman they'll see that as a fan appeaser as well as him ticking other boxes.....apart from fitness.

Wickham is a better player than Gallagher and far more suited to the sort of player we are looking for, in terms of his hold up play.

However, a no solely because of his injury record, and the fact that due to his wages it would only be a short term deal with no realistic potential of extending it.

Nixon has already linked him to 2 teams on loan, so its anyones guess where he will end up, look at Nmecha.

Big question mark about Wickham's ability to overcome serious injury. Risky signing for me but difficult to see where the forward player we desparately need is coming from

What TM is looking to do is sign Grahams long term replacement. He's looking for a strong powerful centre forward who is useful in the air and can hold up the ball. 

I think Breton was TM's target as he has the physical attributes and he clearly has a lot of potential. If he had got a year under grahams guidance it would of done him the world of good and would of gone a long way to helping us be ready to potentially lead the line for us next season in our attempt to challenge for the playoffs. So it's a shame we didn't get him in.  Either way we failed to make a marque signing, a player who could improve our team for the next couple of years. So, as I think TM has recognised in his recent comments, the permanent window has been more of a failure than a success. 

In regards to some of our targets such as Bauer and Chapman, I think we will wait until Jan and get them on reduced fees. 

I agree we need to be looking for Graham long term replacement. Brereton or Gallagher would fit the bill. A year here under Graham learning the role and how to play it would be ideal.

He hasn't been fit in 2 years though ,And was always breaking down and injured before that.I would avoid Wickham and hopefully it's just Nixon talking shit.

Yeah sure i read he is on big money he was a big signing for Palace at the time.

In any case he wouldn't be signing for anyone for anything less than 30...too injury prone to be paying those sort of wages 

So if Wickham does come In I suspect it will be loans with no view,even Mowbray's comments yesterday about short term loans suggest that.

Yes he was a big signing for Palace at the time. 

I suspect his agent and Palace are trying to get him a loan deal so he can play.

Lucas Joao not in the Sheff Wed squad yesterday.  Would take him back in a heartbeat.

I don't see Mowbray moving for Joao at all. Not sure he would fit into the squad in terms of attitude and work rate. Plus didn't Mowbray and Joao have a falling out in Mowbray 1st season?

He's not a " very good " player at our level, he's ok, no better than that.

Palace probably aren't worried about his wages being paid by the another club they probably just want him to go out on loan and get some game time.

Maybe the treatment room is full up at Palace and they need some other clubs physios to look after him.

Graham isnt over weight at all. 

I've previously given you the benefit of the doubt before chaddy but you really are just a d1ck. I apologise for the 'personal comment' and prepare myself for the usual nonsense....

I've seen him in the treatment room at Brockhall with his belly over the top of his shorts, have you?

All good acquisitions but can't see Brereton or Maddison happening

[AdamRochina]

No dig here Adam but the number of times I heard this during the last few weeks I can't buy it. Mind you Im still recovering from the miserable deadline day drought when it was built up as the most exciting deadline day for a few years.

The last two seasons Graham has come back clearly unfit and hasn't got going until mid to end of November. Indeed I never thought he looked properly fit at any point during the relegation Sea so.

We can't really afford that luxury this season with our lack of alternative options.

Hope you're right it'll just be the medicine we all need I think. That and a striker

Villa looking at paying off Ross McCormack. Think he could do well somewhere. There’s talk of him going back to Australia after he scored 14 in 17 games whilst on loan. He knows this league and could be worth a punt on a free.

I was suprised how unfit he was yesterday. He was chugging like mad after 60mins.

Infact one of his chances, he nearly fell over becasue he couldnt seem to get his legs working under him
