Someone on the other site reckons two are in and 'just' need to agree terms. 'Ralph gets his man or men as two new arrivals about to arrive at St Mary’s. Sorry not allowed to say yet but contracts have been drawn up just waiting for terms to be finally agreed between their agents but Ralph seems very very confident that he has secured two very good players. Sorry a little vague but just say it is very good news.Looks as if up to 3 leaving also which will certainly easy the wage bill.'

again?

WTF is going on? Have they not got any credit left on their pay as you go phones?

Tella Tella Tella ooh, tell me more, tell me more Sorry, just had Grease moment. Like does he have a car? John Travolta to sign by deadline.

Another missed opportunity is getting someone in in time for West Brom. Bunch of clowns.

It will cost us a lot more in relegation/replacing a good manager than paying up now for someone decent. It must be current owners refusing to spend. Just got to hope we're not spending all our time fighting an Ings sale.

We seem suddenly keen on French players

are we still looking behind the sofa for a couple of quid?

Lookman to Fulham. (sighs)

Isn't he bezzie mates with Mount, hence transfer to be with his fwend?

whoosh Loftus Cheeky

Hadn't thought of that. Will improve West Ham. Eek

Villa now mid-table finish. Us, not so much. (until we get a Cheeky loan)

So they won't get Loftus-Cheek. Might mean he's coming to us. Hope so, and that we can afford it. Still think we should get Veerman tho.

True. I'll take one of those straws too. (if it has a work permit)

Wish they would point us in the direction of all the home grown nationals that could do an equally good job for the same price *hides*

We will get two or three becomes might get one. It's always the same. Better not be Davies on loan.

Villa looked pretty good last night. If they get RLC they will be excellent. Might need to try harder to land him just to stop them as we will be in same grouping as them at the end of the season. A six-pointer loan, if you like. But would be happy with Ntcham or Veerman. Obviously won't get any of them, us being us. Pretty depressing.

Actually, think he could do a job for us.

Why would Ralph be at pains to stress that he's not, then? Seems a bit weird.

Depressing to even think for one millisecond that winning on the weekend might have dampened our search for new players but the delay in lining up a central midfielder is tantamount to negligence. Really think we must be absolutely skint or run by people with very little experience of how transfers work.

Brilliant result. Well done saints. Amazing.

Skint.

Winning race for Ntcham for £12m according to this not hugely reliable account: https://www.hammers.news/club-news/penny-pinching-west-ham-look-on-as-southampton-reportedly-swoop-in-for-olivier-ntcham/
