Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC We can confirm that @LukeShaw3 has now completed his move to @ManUtd for the highest-ever fee received by #SaintsFC.

Time for Jay Rod to have his own 'transfer rumours' thread too? Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Over the last 24 hours Jay Rodriguez has gone from 7/4 to odds on with @SkyBet to move to #THFC. Just going to put that out there...

Spooky....was just thinking the same thing....
