http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-target-dejan-lovren-7370889#.U7aIQrxYm0o.twitter Fact #6 - it seems the whole Liverpool fan base are tuned in with the clubs tapping up methods.

Thats not Luke Shaw.

I'm not sure we can call him a failure. Ultimately the squad depth is the reason we didn't win something IMO. Arguably the fault of the whole committee?

I think there's a good chance we are hoping we might be able to get him, but I think there will be bigger clubs in the mix.

They seem to be on a mission, they've already made one or two good signings. I can only hope the reason we haven't gone for Cresswell is that we are aiming higher...

We should learn from the mistakes of Man Utd last summer. They needed to buy 5/6 players yet could only push one or two over the line once they had paid extortionate fees.

The only reason I believe we are struggling to sign them is that the football world now knows we are minted so want inflated fees/wages.

Can anyone remember how far behind the home release do they release the away kit?

Wasn't particularly fussed with stripes or not but I like it. Goalkeeper kit is awful though.

They don't have the same agent. Possibly used to, but Poch signed with Jonathan Barnett in order to get his Spuds move.

I'm SO glad you're not involved in the saints recruitment team.

That comment from Lovren was well after Cortese had left though.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the deal was done.

I really want to know what happened between this http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11700/9317293/transfer-news-dejan-lovren-insists-he-is-happy-at-southampton and his current actions. Was he let in on the 'secret' before the world cup that moves for Shaw, Lallana etc were already agreed?!

Has Adam even got twitter? Don't see why he would bother if he couldn't tag him in it.

That's come from Indyknob which was copied by a nobody. I think they are confused as that is probably the fee Saints got with Bournemouth being paid their fee separately.

Looks like he loves himself a bit assuming that's him throwing his shirt into the crowd. Did he kiss the badge before doing it?

Witsel is a made up one. Its not even a rumour I'm afraid.

The outside football community seems to be lapping up this act from Lallana labelling it as 'class'.

Am I imagining it or did Guan suggest we were hoping to announce a signing by this evening?

Amy Lewis ‏@SkySportsAmy 3m Dejan Lovren will only be allowed to leave #saintsfc if, I'm told, Southampton are offered a "massive bid".

Mainly because I think even then we all assumed there was a good chance he would be off. On seeing that I cheered as he led me to believe he was more committed to the club than I thought.....oh how I was wrong.

It's a bit presumptuous to think he was talking about Osvaldo. He just referred to someone turning up late...Ossie didn't turn up at all so couldn't have been talking about him

Bailey doesn't get a lot wrong to be fair.
