I thought it would be fun to track what ex-Saints are up to.

Is Coventry that hard up for money that they'd turn around and sell Best so soon?

Best has been the subject of interest from hometown club Nottingham Forest with Coventry rejecting three bids from the League One hopefuls for the striker.

The former Southampton ace is believed to be keen on a move to Forest and he handed in a transfer request in a bid to win a move to the City Ground.

Tony Mowbray has allayed fears that fitness concerns are holding up a new deal for West Bromwich Albion striker Kevin Phillips.

The Championship leaders are hoping to extend the veteran striker's contract, which is due to expire at the end of the season.

It is no exaggeration to say that Roman Abramovich changed the course of Brian Howard's life. Five years ago the young midfielder was virtually promised a contract during an extended trial with Chelsea only to be cast aside when Stamford Bridge came under Russian rule.

"I had three or four months there, training with the first team and it looked like I'd be signing but then Roman Abramovich arrived and began buying the best players in the world," explained Howard, now the captain of Barnsley. Tomorrow the 25-year-old can remind Chelsea of what they missed when Avram Grant's team visit Oakwell for an FA Cup quarter-final.
