To be fair to Turkish, he was technically correct: there was no 'evidence' that the agent had backed down. But that's missing the point. We never claimed there was any evidence, rather we had a hunch that was likely to be the case. Anyway, water under the bridge...

@alex_crook: Good day for @MYNewsAgency filed Wanyama had agreed 4 yr deal at lunchtime, 1st to get Forren confirmed and called Chaplow this am #saintsfc

But I was led to believe that agents don't do "backing down"...

Why can't you name the other player? We don't know who your source is so nothing to lose...

@SouthamptonFC: Pochettino: "I want to stress that the deal could have been done sooner, but this shows that we do business on our terms." #saintsfc

Yes

The Only Way Is SO14 ‏@OnlyWayIsSO14 The #saintsfc stadium tours that were due to take place this evening have been cancelled and fans kept away from Itchen stand.

Source?

Source?

Both were not out

No surprise re: Forren

"Embarrassing" spelling you've got there sir...

Who knows? How do we know for sure that the original bid was for £12m? Maybe Cardiff upped their bid and we edged ours up a bit to see them off? Maybe its a way of the agent getting his cut indirectly? I guess we'll never know...

"The Celtic midfielder’s £12.5million switch looked dead after his agent Rob Moore asked for a £1m golden handshake. But Saints chairman Nicola Cortese refused to cough up and Moore backed down when a switch to Cardiff also fell through."

Jordan Sibley ‏@jordansibley The new @SouthamptonFC Official Team Coach has arrived @ St Mary's. Looking forward to travelling on it this season!

Anyone know what time this will be announced today? Thanks

Albeit a dead one...

Calling all ITKs (and Glasgow Saint)... Any idea what time this will be announced today? (If indeed it is today) Thanks

Ok. I've been wrong before and will endeavour to keep up this poor track record for years to come.
