Saint Garrett

Not really the point, we were utter sh!t last season and only going in one direction without some serious improvements in players. Plus they're not about to sell their best player either... We need some quality in the side, and there are very little rumours to suggest thats on the way...

Can get 9/1 for Saints to be relegated...looks an absolute shoe in at the moment...we've been nothing short of an embarrassment for the last 18 months or so.

I mean, reading everything on that website regarding Tadic, it sounds like it's done, which is incredibly worrying...

As i stated above, there are plenty they should be looking to let go which would reduce the wage bill before you get to Tadic.

Exactly this... We should be trying to slim the squad down in the more bloated areas and getting rid of the players who are not going to be good enough next year - there are enough. and focus on bringing in quality and keeping our best players. Tadic is probably our best player, he should not be going anywhere unless it's for ridiculous money.

Mental if true, can’t see it tbh

Strange article that

Always thought Little was one of our biggest prospects alongside Slattery, Valery and Vokins... Be interesting to see how he gets on there.

£20m up front plus instalments apparently

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11410789/southampton-consider-move-for-amadou-haidara Strangely we do seem to be after another CM, we've been linked with quite a few. Would suggest someone is moving on...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day... FWIW, seems big noises from Boro end that he's on his way. Think he would be a really good signing. See this guy's posts...https://oneboro.co.uk/forum/search.php?action=results&sid=d1b30ef5d451446742031f5841dacdd1

Rather have JWP tbh.

Not good enough IMO.

He's crap, and pretty sure Hughes doesn't really like him...would be a surprise.

Despite those numbers being 2 years old...plus they splashed a bit after they won the league. They'll spend more on wages than us I reckon...isn't Vardy on upwards of £120k now?

Is very true...they will. Think West Ham will be best of the rest next season. They have the free stadium so can plough money into their side.

They're all good enough to be squad players and surely cheaper to have these as squad players than pricey transfers. You could also add Reed and McQueen into that list. Reed I think i'd probably try and sell if he's not going to be 4th choice...and sell one of McQueen / Targett depending on Bertrand situation

Striker, 27...nice to have a rumour atleast (barely)

Frustrating when there is all these decent players who are reachable all going to rival clubs while we sit and twiddle our thumbs...Ok...Gotze and Martial possibly out of our range but we just seem to be doing nothing... Evans, Dawson, Fabianksi, Anderson, Gotze, Diop, Martial....

Full list: Home in bold, "top 6" games in red... Got to be happy with that start but it does mean that we need to get points on the board early (just like last season), so we need to get our squad sorted asap so we're ready to go on day 1...! Run in not awful either if we need points at the end of the season... Home games to start and finish, and on boxing day

If true, they need to go. Whatever happened to the club regularly being in front of the curve...makes no sense. They should have been working all season to isolate the weaker areas and start putting out feelers to players to make sure we can act quickly in the summer. Sounds ridiculous that they would come back from holiday and go "oh we should probably start thinking about trying to find some players to join us..." shambles.

Think thats my only hope of a work sweepstake win...!

The ultimate...."keep the fans happy by leaking a few names out there" jobby.

No - and nor would they...but Adam Blackmore, Jeremy Wilson, Simon Peach etc, all said that was the case...keep the fans content for a terrible Jan window. We've been utterly incompetent in the last few years in certain areas.

Thought the deal was already agreed for him to come here? That's what we were lead to believe anyway...
