If it was a done deal he wouldn't be able to play for Celtic

Hopefully with a bit more certainty than the hope we had about Toby

'Koeman not pursuing any other targets'. Crikey

Stones will go to Everton pretty soon IMHO and then it's a case of us ensuring they don't get VVD ahead of us. Hence this talk of getting agreements in place I suspect. Hope Clasie and the other Dutch crew are making overtures about how nice and Netherlandsy it is in Southampton.

...and Everton really don't want us to have him by the weekend...

Was amazed to hear McLaren doing the post-match interview in his own accent

Targett was terrible against Feyenoord even. Signs were there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Or it's a desperate bid to stop him joining Everton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think Newcastle will be much better than expected, under McLaren, and with some good signings. I have us down to lose 2-1 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Didn't see much of the game last night but saw enough to think that Caulker is a bit off the pace. Got skinned at least once and was way out of position for a big chance for them on goal. Really hope this goes through as we definitely, obviously need a solid defence

Or that there are lots of suitors...

I can't think of many crests in world football that are better. We are ace. And our song is brilliant. No, Spurs, it's not yours.

I saw him in Rotterdam. I think he may be our manager Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aren't they just flying up to Newcastle?

Good point well made

Hey, Celtic, we're really after this bloke. Honest. And we will pay the fee. Really. And they will sell. Deffo. But we will take VVD if you want for much less.

really hope this one comes off

£8m seems a bit cheap to me. Hope we don't pee Celtic off so much with that offer that they prefer to do business with Everton

Personally would have liked to have had him back as a) it would send out a great message about Liverpool and about how great Saints are in comparison b) he's still pretty good and am not personally convinced by Pelle's all-round game c) no-one takes a better pen d) he seems a good bloke e) he wouldn't be too pricey

Harsh. We owe him a decent reception whenever he returns.

We should take him back if only for pens. If he goes to Spurs I personally would erase all memories of him from my brain's hard drive.

I hope
