Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

If Wikipedia is to be believed, he did join our first team staff after all (but very much under the radar, given the lack of fanfare). He must've been well chuffed with the way we dumped on West Ham, yesterday...

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Kelvin abandon his new role as Head of Cheerleading in favour of a proper position.

Federico Arias - never actually played a game for is in the end! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Arias

Must not laugh, must not laugh.... Mwahahahahah!

Hopefully this doesn't mean McCarthy will have to come into the first team and take over penalty taking duties...

Barnsley have tweeted to say their "lights are still on". Perhaps Isgrove to Barnsley is a goer?

Isn't there usually a "that's all our business done" tweet at some point from Saints? As there hasn't yet been one, it might suggest someone might be coming in. Or leaving...

LeG seemed to imply earlier that something could still be in the offing. Any ITKs verify this?

Echo seem convinced we are at least looking to bring in a right back, which sounds like Cuco will be off to Everton then.

Do they even need him having signed Zaza the other day?

Linked with Villa recently but better than the Championship IMO. Did well for Bordeaux last season and probably a familiar name to Puel.

Yes, sorry about that. Beer + thinking + typing + tiredness!!

Ok, just over 24 hours to go of the summer 2016 transfer window to go and will there be any final day business or madness at St Mary's??? Arsenal have gone a day early with their last minute panic buys and Watford have started signing anyone with a pulse. Jim White is no doubt priming himself to overhype even the smallest deal and Sky will be sending out correspondents to repetitively inform us there will be no incomings or outgoings at this club or that. Tick, tock; tick, tock...

If we do loan a player from Arsenal, instead of Wilshere, what about Carl Jenkinson to compete with Cedric?

If we can pay £21m for Bouffy the defence slayer, I'm sure Les can stump up a bit of overtime for the media guys.

Good news. He's another Guardian writer isn't he? They seem pretty well clued up about us. [makes mental note to commence meltdown at 00.01 on Tuesday morning, if no confirmation is forthcoming]

Unless we play Boufal as one of the split strikers, maybe?

Instead of Boufal?? Maybe there is something in this failed medical business?

Wonder if any of our bona fide ITKs could confirm or deny this? Could be a precaution to make sure we're spending a record sum wisely.

So, do we know if it's medical day for Boufal today?

#saintsfc Puel: "Perhaps another player will come but nothing is signed. It is a possibility to take one or two to add energy to the squad.” Picked this up from a BBC Solent tweet. Not sure if Claude is taking about Boufal or someone in addition to him. Hopefully it's the latter or it's a bit concerning, if not.

I just think it's a lack of sharpness with little or no pre-season behind him. Same with Cedric. They just need to get back up to speed but the Premier League is unforgiving and doesn't allow it.

C) I'm no fan of the diamond but the players aren't performing either. No movement & too many misplaced passes.

Now a done deal according to an updated L'Equipe report:
