tomrfcurzrobb the royal we should bring in Bradley Wright-Phillips, quality player... and Southampton need the cash!
if he's looking for a striker... robbie fowlers a free agent again!
I would be more than pleased with both of them!
he's a oxf*rd thief

Southern Daily Echo READING could be among the front runners to sign Andrew Surman next month, writes ADAM LEITCH.
The Daily Echo understands that Saints’ Championship rivals are interested in the 22-year-old, who missed his first league game of the season against the Royals at St Mary’s last Sunday due to an ankle injury.
Reading were keen on Surman back in the summer, targeting him to play at left-back following the departure of Nicky Shorey to Aston Villa.
But Royals boss Steve Coppell instead signed Sheffield United’s Chris Armstrong to play in that role after a series of transfers that would have funded a potential bid for Surman fell through.
Surman – a locally-raised lad who would not have to move away from his family and friends were he to sign for the Berkshire club – had ended last season playing at left back under Nigel Pearson and earning impressive reviews.
He also started this season in that position under Jan Poortvliet, but was moved to his usual midfield position in September and is currently the club’s second top scorer with five goals.

Ark Royal I was impressed by Bothroyd in the first half, but he faded a bit. Good skill on the deck for such a biggun.
I reckon Kevin Nugent is a good shout. I really, really liked him at PNE. Someone stated earlier in this thread that he does not score goals, but that is purely because Pompey do not play him. He may regard a drop to the Championship as a temporary blip. Nugent and the Doyler up top would be the best partnership in the division.

He was pretty OK at Plymouth in the 80's but I don;t remember him at PNE - was he any good ?
IT'S DAVID BY THE WAY.

Ian Royal I can't disagree with any of that.
I'd suggest we could afford to wait until the summer for centrebacks even if Bikey goes, although we'd probably need two then, which would be a big ask.

1871royals Interesting to read in the Chronicle that Hammond said we are in discussions for 2 new players. Obviously we need to take it with a pinch of salt but nice to see we have some potential new players.
Its highly unlikely anyone we sign will be able to come into the first team. IMO it will be a "one for the future," probably a young target man striker and maybe a winger and/or lb.
Absolutely no point in going for Nugget, way too similar to what we have got, and debatable if hes any better.
I think Longs recent good performance gives SC a problem. NH and Doyle will be the starters and the improving Long should be on the bench. Its highly unlikely we can attract a striker who may not even got on the bench.
IMO Long wont be able to cut it long term, so any new striker should be ahead of him, but hes definitely earned his place on the bench if not starting atm.
