@bigadamsport: #saintsfc Deal for Sadio Mane is still on - waiting to complete permanent move to St Mary's

@SouthamptonFC: CONFIRMED: #SaintsFC have completed a #deadlineday deal for Toby Alderweireld. Welcome, @AlderweireldTob! #SaintToby

@JacquiOatley: Tease!! RT @AlexStone7: Just been shown FIFA TMS database. Looking at deals done/pending. Few interesting ones not reported at all by media

Andy Carroll on his way to QPR...

Yeah, but they're only observing how bad some players play on occasion, innit guv?

@bigadamsport: #saintsfc Koeman on Morgan:"There's no way we're selling him. He's in a comfortable situation now. He's accepted club's decision finally"

Fair play....Observations are much better than opinions....
