Saint Garrett

I knwo it's ambitious, but Fulham are interested in him...Aaron Ramsey? He would fit in well here I think.

Important update coming up on the OS in the next 10 mins or so...would assume it's something to do with Rangers' omission.

So have we got this Cat 1 status then? I see that West Ham and Middlesbrough have been announced today that they have got it...?

Christ, well starting this thread was completely pointless...

Brentford wasnt bad at the end of season before last, and also Brighton away must have been pretty decent for the ones who were there...

Ah yes, oops...

We definitely wore yellow shirt, blue shorts, and white socks at Barnsley and at Burnley.

No, nor can I see what he tweets as he's blocked me !

West Ham mate also reckons they've nearly signed Zaha...Although he also said Elia and the other Italian bloke would sign.

Sounds like the Udinese match will be at 7pm on Saturday 11th. http://www.udinese.it/ENG/script/view_flsh_news.php?id=3537

I'm JustMike...

Can't say I really noticed him in the Euros but sounds like there could be some truth in it. What I meant by 'the Southampton way' was that we try and keep our interest as private as possible, as Adkins says in pretty much every press conference when asked about transfers either in or out the club.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7841843/ Could this be us ? Sounds like 'the Southampton way' of doing things....

Can't see many of the Arsenal 'stars' turning up anyway as they'll probably still be on holiday after the euros. (RVP, Walcott, Chambo etc)

1 per country... Monkou? Fernandes? Kachloul ?

Sign for us and parade new kit on the first?

Anyone know how many games on average are played by each team on Sundays and Mondays?

Would have thought he would have 4-5-1 in mind, with Michu alongside 2 others in CM with Lallana and possibly Lee out wide. We are definitely going to need different options when plan A isnt working. Sounds like he could be a superb signing if it happens.

I think it also had something to do with our players stepping up majorly last season. They were good L1 players the league before, but the younger ones stepped up (Lallana/Morgan) we brought in another good CB to partner Fonte, and also brought in goals in Sharp, also Guly was superb at the start of last season and Lambert looked like he'd been playing at atleast that level for years. I wouldn't say we overperformed, I would say that we showed our potential. I just hope that these players can keep getting better and better and we can show how good we are next season with a few tweaks.

Aren't we having all these games at St Marys over pre season so the FA can test out the ball line technology?

Hardly seen anything of him...but could probably do a job, but won't be massively overwhelmed if we do sign him.

I'm actually sure that Neil McCann wasn't as bad as we thought, he cant have been...however, we didnt pay an awful lot of money for him so didn't matter too much. Pahars was a forward. Walcott would be world class if he could deliver a decent cross everytime, but a lot of quick wingers cant. From all my time watching Southampton (since about 95) we've never really had any real pace in our side, Pahars is probably the only one.

Selassie can be ruled out as he's just signed for Werder Bremen.

I'm sure we have made approaches for many different players, its just whether those inquiries were followed up or not.

West Ham fans reckon Elia and that other italian bloke agreed personal terms tonight, and having medical early next week....Elia will be a cracking signing for them, although Allardyce probably will put him on the bench
