How reliable are the Star in our list of lying scumbag journos? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/389861/Southampton-look-to-John-Guidetti-as-replacement-for-Liverpool-s-Rickie-Lambert

My Palace contact reckons it will happen, Pulis looking for an excuse. I got 8-1 this morning, good luck getting that price now!

No logins for a week.

Hi Irene, Did Artur train today and will he be in the squad for Sunday?

I think it's a fair bit more than that.

If we were so fit last year how come Lallana couldn't play 90 minutes?

Moved to its own thread so we can discuss transfers on the transfer thread.

Should have played Boruc, then swapped him out when he made a mistake or got injured.

Where do we park the Mercedes van?

He'll be at West Ham before the end of September if Fat Sam has a slow start.

I am looking forward to all our new signings with an Eterna on one wrist, a Garmin on the other, a William Hill betting slip in hand listening to music via a Veho system whilst relaxing in the stylish Saints own brand training wear. Bravo!

Imagine Cork did leave for free next season. In effect he has cost us not far off what we'll probably be paying Chelsea as a loan fee for Bertrand.

Clearly Cork has no ambition and is happy to plod around the bottom half of the EPL. We don't need players with this 'Dell sized mentality'. If he was good enough, he'd be in the team.

Difficult to judge him without a proper run in the team. Don't think he has pulled up any trees yet but is highly rated by us and England it would seem. Looks to have bulked up a bit more which should help his performances this season.

If nothing else it would **** the Skates off.

Had Nicola not closed him in the Hot Tub he would have gone to Tottenham or Liverpool IMHO.

This, this and this. I suspect that the reason our players didn't stipulate release clauses is that they wouldn't have got such good wages offered.

Interesting part for me: "Cork had one year left on contract and talks over a new deal had failed to produce an agreement."

Went a few years ago to Millwall. We won 4-0 and I got to see one of the few ever games played by Marcelo Sarimento.

Just what we need, another central midfielder.

I am jealous as f***. Must remember to catch a game down there with you when I visit George in December.

Its a fair point. If we were after Newcastle's 4th/5th choice CM in the last year of their deal there would be a meltdown.

That was so last week. the Fudpucker is ok.

£12m? apply Sky Sports Factor (Lambert Deal) and you are looking closer to £6m.

I do, but ultimately whether it is £8,10 or 15m doesn't won't impact me personally
