He played in 25 league games for one of the best teams in Europe last season, so is doing something right.

Fairthorne said the day before Koeman's interview that an offer had been accepted, if it had been accepted then it is clearly taken seriously.

It is him, I copied and pasted directly from his twitter account and put it in speech marks. You have to wonder how little it takes to get a place on journalism degree course these days.

Why have you jumped to that conclusion? How do you know for certain Saints have the player high on their list of priorities?

If Fairthorne is right about that, then that would mean Koeman lied in his interview on 29th June when he said there have been no serious offers. I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue.

His bio says... The Sun Daily Mail Nuts magazine Quite a trustworthy CV then! Plus "Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players", so a North London bias to his work then.

He sees something of himself in Osvaldo...

Its not live on British TV, it is moved to Sunday because of our European game on the Thursday before.

There is an 8 page thread about him here... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?54396-CONFIRMED-C%E9dric-to-Saints-on-four-year-deal&highlight=cedric+soares#.VZW7GVxpfpU

Praet and Clasie don't play in the same position/role.

Perhaps at 27 years old he has finally matured and realised what he has to do to be successful with his attributes. I remember Gradel having hissy fits at St Mary's on the opening day of the 2011/12 Championship season when things weren't going his way.

He scored 17 goals in 31 league games last season as a winger, so must be doing something right. Towards the top of the 2014/15 Ligue 1 goalscoring charts... Ibrahimovic 19 goals Cavani 18 goals Gradel 17 goals

Yes.

He trained today...

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 17m17 minutes ago Nothing planned at #SaintsFC right now to bring in Elia & Djuricic after last season's loans

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 1m1 minute ago #SaintsFC are negotiating with Atletico Madrid over Toby Alderweireld & are understood to be fairly confident of getting him ahead of #THFC

Shelvey scored 3 goals in 31 Premier League games last season.

He is contracted to Southampton, its merely him doing as he should and turning up to work on a Monday morning. Ramirez might be used by Saints this season, but him turning up to work on a day he expected to isn't really a sign that he won't leave this summer.

If it is a "trick" it has a fundamental flaw to it. If Man Utd really did want Clasie and signed him, they wouldn't need Schneiderlin and so Saints wouldn't sell him to United.

What animosity was there towards Lambert? He got a very good reception on his return St Mary's.

He could have got the date from this tweet from 5 hours before his article was published... Amy Lewis ‏@SkySportsAmy 8h8 hours ago Understand Man Utd bid for Schneiderlin 10 days ago (under £25m). Didn't meet Saints asking price & was rejected. Also told no contact since

We'll be paying his wages (probably in full or close to it) plus paying Fulham a significant loan fee.

What do your three options mean exactly? Also what makes you think we have no money to spend unless we sell players? We've already signed three players this summer and the club has posted large profits.
