Saint Garrett

Is the 6000 just n initial allocation ?

He's rubbish, we'll take him back for 15m in January! On a serious note, surprised how many pundits and fans say he's crap defensively, he's absolutely brilliant defensively IMO. Only one who comes close is Ashley Cole. Amount of times you see him somehow manage to get in front of his man when he has someone running at him is ridiculous.

Got rid of the ST this year, but fully intend to go to this, can't see us shifting 6000 odd for a Tuesday night. Fingers crossed

Surely Long is not our highest paid player on £50k. If that is the case it makes that deal look even worse.

A lot lower than last year IMO. Gaston, Osvaldo, Lambert, Lallana, Lovren off the wage bill, and players in on relatively low Prem wages I would have thought - only big wage may be Alderweireld.

Incredible effort. Donated.

Think it depends if the option comes into play at the end of the season or anytime while he's on loan. Would expect all loan to be negotiated individually depending on what both parties want out of the deal

We always seem to do well against Newcastle. Gaston tore them apart a few years ago, and we spanked them last season. They'll play on the break, but if we press them then I don't think they'll be able to deal with us. 2-0 saints

Morgan too.

Superb. On it

Can't really disagree with S-Clarke. Normally speaks a lot of sense. We were in a mess, players leaving left right and centre, Koeman in and then Ralph getting some balls and saying JRod and Morgan going nowhere was the turning point. Looking far stronger now, and pretty chuffed with how it's turned out.

Will still take time and no doubt we will have some bad toothless results, but the squad is stronger now, and we have much more depth. It's a very promising squad and I hope we have enough goals in the team.

Im shocked we've left it this late tbf. Thought this would be announced this afternoon.

We're here!

Heard anything regarding gaston k billy ?

Still have to pay wages, joining fees, bonuses etc.

He's a winger lol

Good source ? @MurrayGroves: Toby Alderweireld has completed his move to #saintsfc on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy. Mane not quite done yet.

I'm 99% sure no one important will leave.

Pretty sure all our legal documents at work are signed and scanned, or signed using Echosign.

Can't believe that they still use a fax machine, would have thought people would use echosign!

Abel Hernandez signed for 'Ull

They can't afford him any longer. Got hurt by the fee they have to pay to the league for paying no tax I believe. And also didn't the owner get divorced or something and have to pay out a ridiculous amount of money. (I might have dreamt that?)

If we did get two wide players - I wouldn't be surprised to see Gaston leave - hope he stays though.

Daniel Taylor ‏@DTguardian 2m Expecting announcement from Southampton later about loan deal for Sporting Lisbon winger Diego Capel. Told it's 'almost done' Would be a decent player to bring in IMO - better than the other options we've been linked to IMO.
