Southampton are 'pushing very hard' to sign Strasbourg centre-back Alexander Djiku today – the Ghana international has one year left on his contract at the Ligue 1 club #saintsfc @FabriceHawkins

Yes, good point. Hope they have Oriel's excellent ball retention skills too.

I thought that Galatasary wanted Redders?

On that basis Brighton will finish 4th.

Good. He's not Oriel; no-one is, quite. But I like AMN. We are looking pretty muscular, which I think we lacked last season. Often looked too powder puff in the middle.

Hope we give Romeu a good send-off/tribute. Fabulous servant to the club and awesome player

Disappointed we have yet to shift Redmond, McCarthy, Walcott. Deadwood of the old order. But very good window all round, to be fair. Would still like to see Caleta-Car, and maybe a surprise striker from a bit further down Saints list, and with maybe less attitude/honour than Gakpo or the PSV negotiatiors (from the sounds of it)

but west ham and villa also sniffing acc to @RMCsport

Caleta-Car sounds increasingly possible. Good. Can't have too many double-barrelled players

*starts car*

Probably sign her instead

Brererton Diaz hijacking incoming plus Caleta Carr?

What a waste of time. Sounded a right arrogant sod anyway. Next!

Thought the offside was very close

Liverpool there, somehow squeezing an extra two and a half minutes of extra time to add to the five and get the winner

Can’t help thinking this one is slipping away a bit

🚨 Cody Gakpo tells ESPN that there are 'still a few things going on' & that a 'decision will be made about his future in the coming hours' #saintsfc via @RikElfrink

Plan B might need an airing I suspect

Ffs. 🚨 PSV are keen to keep Cody Gakpo on a 'lucrative new contract' #saintsfc

no sorry i was just slow

think he just scored again

...and believes in 'the project'. We're a project, everybody!

Agree. Have often wondered about Traore. Would love him in a Saints shirt. Maybe not the baby oil though. Also wonder about Jao Pedro as very left field back up option up front?

Could be Dan James to Spurs, then Leeds burning their wedge on Gakpo. Might be what they're waiting for. Dominoes

All seems a bit weird, this. Are they expecting a bidding war? Even now?
