Ivan Katalinic's 'tache

Good point! Are you still expecting it to all go through today/soon?

I'm going to believe him as he has the same surname as our former chairman Alan.

We get to talk about his new found commitment to our cause and how he will definitely become a legend because he's so talented.

No, it's ok, he's signing for us.

S'ok. I have broad shoulders. The reason I asked was because often the good news filters through on here before it's officially confirmed (a Guan smiley for instance) and I was just asking my Saints brethren to save myself the necessity of working my through the posts.

Apparently Dejan overheard Les Reed saying we need a new striker but misunderstood what he meant...

So, is it in the balance, has he gone elsewhere or is he signing for us today?

Cool. Hope your source is right. Any news on Pelle too?

Ok, ta. Foster would be a great signing and there would be a battle royal with Boruc for the no 1 spot.

Wasn't Marshall at Norwich for a while? Did that coincide with Watson's time there?

Ruddy hell? Thanks fir the update. Any news on Tadic and Pelle? Likely to to sign this week or Everton now in pole for Tadic?

http://www.nsno.co.uk/everton-news/2014/07/blues-in-pole-position-for-serb-forward/ Everton view on Tadic. Seem fairly confident! Didn't someone say they'd spotted him out in Southampton last night though? Hopefully we've got him holed up somewhere ready to sign soon...

Not impressed. I can understand his stand point but mouthing off in public is disgraceful and symptomatic of a toddler throwing his toys out of the pram when he can't immediately get his way. The way Liverpool have played this has been designed to unsettle our players and I'm glad that the Suarez situation is giving them a taste of their own medicine. To return to Lovren, I do wonder how good he actually is. Don't get me wrong, he had some decent performances in a Saints shirt but Luke Shaw is a fabulous talent and I wonder if having him outside Dejan allowed him to stay central and offer less cover than if Fox, say, had been there. He's also prone to diving in, in the box, and can be a penalty waiting to happen. It would be great to keep him but I think that point has passed and £20 million is more than enough IMO.

Gone a bit quiet this one? A good sign?

Guess or knowledge?

Are Bears allowed more than one wife?

If that's true, Adam Lallana is a: Charlie Oscar Charlie Kilo.

Is this the reason for the delay? Working out whether the deal will be straight cash or player plus cash?

What thread?

Liverpool are taking no chances with Adam's prior heart concerns, which is holding up the deal. Brendan Rodgers has been hiding & jumping out shouting 'boo' very loudly over the past 48 hours to ensure this has been thoroughly checked.

Adam Lallana - the Liverpudlian Rudi Skacel. The only hold up is the time it's taking him to write up how much Southampton and its fans mean to him. 5 pages of A4 and still going apparently.

Ha! Take that Liverpool. Now WE have one of yours!

Nicely timed double player sale after the plea to buy season tickets last week. The club have concentrated on our history! (See Keegan & Newcastle in 1982). Shame to see Adam & Luke go, I just hope this is it now. Great to have such a productive academy, just a pity it'll only really be a breeding site for the big boys but I guess that's football nowadays. Looking forward to seeing how Ronnie spends the cash. Les promised exciting signings, I truly hope they are.

I reckon it'll be the young French lad with the name which offers great value if your kid wants it on his shirt - Kolodjieczak or something.

Surely he needs to join us first though?
