Lofts Cheek to Fulham. Apparently his wages are closer to £200k a week. Madness.

Brandon Williams still?

Get Pascal Gross in and this looks a good deal

Suspect having difficulty finishing

Wonder if option to buy

Oh well. Medical happening now. Hope that’s not the end of our window

Walcott deal 90% done, says Twitter

You've all seen Walcott's 'finishing', right? Right. Amazing. And the legs have gone too. Perhaps he wants to come and learn his trade as a coach.

First time Carillo has passed anything successfully...

Genuine step backwards

oh woe Southampton are ‘increasingly confident’ of signing Theo Walcott on a season-long loan from Everton, Saints will pay around 50% of his wages #saintsfc [athletic]

Good player. And fits the German/Austrian mould...

Man United have no intention of allowing Brandon Williams to leave on loan, after Southampton made an enquiry #saintsfc [mirror]

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Oh dear

Guessing remaining business will be Butland in and Gunn out, plus either Davies, RLC or Theo Walcott in on loan, but could do with a little extra creative zip behind the front two in my view

He really hasn't got raw pace anymore, and that was most of his game when the Premier didn't have quite such an emphasis on that, and he appeared to be an outlier. Now (almost) every team has it, somewhere or other (including us). I hope we look elsewhere.

Also, he chose Everton instead of us when we were more interested in him. So double no. (the other no being his form/pace is long gone)

Sadly he has made a difference to them. Mourinho is no mug.

Man U making our defending against Spurs look good. But seriously, they are very clinical finishers...

Really hope not. The game has passed him by.

Terrific and important result, esp before international break. Well done saints.

Me neither. It's a risk for loaning club, too, over injuries. And he might like it so much he wants to stay. Stranger things have happened.
