Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

I imagine the obligatory official tweet will be sent imminently then?

They even took THEVMAN. Is there nothing a Scouser won't steal?

Hmmm. Toby's said his main motivation is to be playing and not back on the bench as with his season in Madrid. I can't see Chelsea dropping Terry or Cahill so it'll be interesting to see how.this pans out. There's been quite a bit about Atletico wanting Luis back so I imagine this would be tempting for them.

Whatever happened to THEVMAN?

Signed for Pompey today. Looks like we've missed out on him again... Doesn't even cross our radar these days and he's being touted as their "no-risk" transfer. WTFILN???

Good news, if true. Also sends a bit of a message to Clyne that he's not irreplaceable whether or not Cedric joins as a replacement or as competition. At the reported price, he could be either.

Unless it doesn't work out for you in which case a forum member will come up with an amusing moniker for you to remind us how bad you are. I'm sure it won't come to this though...

First Juan of the summer. Excellent news. An ITK point for Crab Lungs too?

Has Toby's loan officially ended yet? We were still covering his international activities for the Wales game so I'm guessing not?

I'm going for Crystal Palace at SMS. Would be nice to finish the season at home too, seeing as we were away first & last games, last season.

With rumours around we may be after Charlie Austin and other rumours Bologna, or other Italian sides, may look to lure Graziano back to Italy, I wondered who others would prefer if we could only have one or the other? Me, I think despite his barren spell midway through last season, Graziano is fairly integral to our forward play & despite the goals, I don't know if Austin would offer as much outside of the box. Any thoughts?

The new De Pedro saga is upon us???

Sounds positive & Crabby has been right before.

Someone put Van Gaal in touch with tactical genius Roy and get Roy to extol the virtues of Jones over Clyne at right back. Then get Roy to speak to Rodgers and let him know how Henderson is a better option than Clyne too. Clyne then signs a new deal with us, with no other bids coming in for him...

The clearest indication that selection for England is less about those in form and more about whether your face fits (and the prime way for it to fit is to be at a 'big' club whether or not you're in the side every week or not). Odd and I'm not surprised Clyney was a bit miffed.

Sounding promising. Have we anyone on hotel watch?

They're buying the whole club now? Makes things simpler, I suppose.

Cunning Tobes. Put in a slightly less than impressive performance, put off Atletico & rival suitors and we snap him up.

Didn't we steal Toby from under Newcastle's noses when they were supposedly nailed on to sign him last summer? Same again?

Now you've done it. There will be an F5-ing epidemic on Saints Web, this thread will run for 100+ pages and Pilchards will be up a tree spying on St Mary's...

Harsh (but fair S-Clarke?)... His profile reads "Player At SouthamptonFC #Saints". No idea if this is significant and no mention of Werder Bremen at all.

A cryptic tweet from Eljero tonight. A permanent offer from us maybe?

A shrewd release of (mis)information to prompt Clyne to make his mind up?

If I was to clutch at straws, at least Toby still has Saints on his Facebook profile and his pic is still in a Saints shirt...

F**k me. They're even signing our fans now. #obsessed
