Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Hopefully there will be some positive transfer news soon to take our minds off the anti climactic kit launch...

No need. Just go on to the OS at 9am tomorrow morning and see our parade of new stars in our Adidas re-vamp of the Keegan kit...

Not a massive fan of the new shirt, if indeed that is the new shirt. If another primarily all red shirt and maybe shorts is correct, it would nice to know why we've moved away from our more traditional stripes. Cardiff made a more drastic change but at least they explained why! Also, weren't there rumours of a new signing perhaps showing off the new kit, I wonder if this is true although technically Lovren is a new signing and could be used for this function...

So, now we not even speaking to the player because we knew ages ago what he wanted to join us? Then why did we suddenly agree a figure with Celtic??? Each passing revelation leaves us even further away from this being completed, according to the media. Apart from the hint Crab Lungs gave us, there's not been much on this from our usual ITK-ers too. Wouldn't bet against the arrival of a leftfield alternative arrival.

Lol. Wasn't Ray Wilkins known as the crab? And Crabby is passing information? Therefore I deduce this will DEFINITELY happen.

Cheers Crabby. I can't believe we're signing the Palace cheerleaders...

"Nancy winger wanted by Southampton..." - I thought the League was trying to rid the game of homophobic comments?

Plus I'm sure there'd have been an indication of what was on offer before he even flew back otherwise why bother dashing in like that?

Maybe this is where Poch is a level up on Adders? Better contacts?

The paper also says he's flown back to England for talks (& presumably the hypnotic video). Could be done soon then all things being well?

I'm not surprised he's being careful. I'm sure Nathaniel Clyne got his knuckles rapped when he changed his profile on Twitter to say he was a Southampton player before the official announcement was made.

I would imagine Alan Nixon would have some great Scottish contacts and he seems pretty confident this will all go smoothly. All sounds good to me but would hope we get it done sooner than later to avoid last minute interest from elsewhere.

So that's not a 'no' then Vic? Glad he knows our nickname too!

If this really is our new shirt, are we now a team who plays in mainly red shirts? Would be good if the club covered why we'd be ditching the stripes... If, that is.

I usually buy the home shirt come what may. If that's it, I may make an exception. That's grim.

If Nixon's right, this actually sounds close...

From us?

Thanks, ta. Missed that. Might be on now we've got Lovren.

See, I was going for the standard set by Svensson for a hard as nails centre half procured from France.

Seen mixed comments, some very positive, some not so good. Not going to judge until I've seen the lad play so until them, welcome Dejan. May you be the new Killer.

Pretty sure I've seen bits from Ben Smith before and comments that his contacts with Saints are "top notch"... Sounds good! Right, who's next...

I guess it was always unlikely he would announce us as his destination before the club made an announcement and that's even if he's even on our radar.
