Fuck it! Let's sack off Still and get Big Sam in whilst we're at it.

Yeah we can expect Bree, Taylor at minimum to depart today. Edozie, Smallbone and Aribo all up for grabs too. Should be leaner by the end of the window.

My biggest takeaway from this window is that these have been long term targets and not last minute scrambles. Clearly Still and Spors had these guys in mind from the go and they've gone and get them. What a breath of fresh air after last minute scambles for Tall Paul and BBD.

Done deal!

One to keep half an eye on is Aguerd has left West Ham. That's where the THB link originated from. Nothing more said on this yet but something to be mindful of.

Yeah likely a few formalities. Probably an agreement in principle with just the details to agree on.

Word on Scienza is no 'Complete Agreement' but that he has chosen Saints. Final details to be hammered out between the clubs.

I think he's in the last year of his deal mate.

I'd take us over the french any day.

Let's hope it's that and not a bunch of toads in a bag telling us the princess is in another castle!

I do view Scienza as a bit of a luxury signing but boy has it been a while since we've had one of those. Hopefully ze German can get it done.

You sure you don't mean Danns?

I first saw it from an Italian blog. Asked my friend from Naples if he had an idea on him, said not too much but that he knows he has been considered to be a good prospect in the Italian youth system for some time.

I think the one might be more likely to be Scienza given BBD is out the door.

Decent terms those.

No promises on the height of the balls in there 😂 I believe we do everything in-house. Only reason I know is I looked into it as I'm a motion designer myself. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/creative-studio

Did some research on this, Still doesn't set up for headed goals it's about low driven crosses and cutbacks. So mobile players who can finish off either foot are preferrable.

Can play left or right side. Right footed so stronger there. I think brought in to allow Breezy to leave given he's in his last year (maybe back to Mad Nate at Charlton?) and can cover Welly as he's injured.

This saints media team has too much time on it's hands. Exellent work. 😂

Assume this will be for Jelert.

Bit of research on Doumbia reveals hes a bit more of a well rounded/box to box than an anchor/destroyer. But strengths are his positional play, physical attributes and range of passing. Sounds like more of an Ugochukwu style midfielder.
