Far from being put with hammers, Mr Punch should be separated from his stick.

we could let him go there but tell him we'd give him a goal bonus for every own goal he scores or every sitter he blatantly misses...brown envelopes stuffed with £50 notes at waterloo station every sunday morning for the rest of the season....Seed can you arrange it with NA?
I'd let the Hammers have him He could train with the kids there.

Blimey if Big Sam rates him he must be decent!!!!! Surely if he could go there for a few months and cause unrest in the camp, he could at last play a role for Saints?

There was a single spat with the coaches that resulted in him training with the youth team. since then he has been a model professional offering encouragement to the youngsters, giving his all in the games with them and not once whilst he has been out on loan has he said anything derogatory about the club (look at twitter). Agreed he needs to pursue a career elsewhere - he was clearly hurt by the booing he got in the cup game last year - but lets not allow internet trolls to make things up and for other to believe it (not that I'm calling you a troll of course - but there have been on other sites and this has given birth to a lot of myths about him).
Saints are playing it dead right. He has made it clear on several occasions he doesn't want to be here with his bad attitude.
Sooner or later no-one will remember him.
Offload.
