Koeman in the last hour confirmed his interest in Tonny Vilhena and Filip Djuricic. He said there is a good chance one will sign this window, possibly both.

Koeman said they are all close to returning and should be back for next weekend vs QPR.

https://www.facebook.com/FSSrbije?rf=174183379301107 They claim Saints have announced it on their website, which clearly isn't the case.

I think its far more likely to be down to game time than wages, Cork is more likely to start for Swansea than he is for us. If both clubs offered him regular starts then I'm sure Saints could out do Swansea in terms of a contract offer.

Its the Britannia Stadium in Stoke.

His contract ends in June, I doubt we'd get remotely close to £6m.

The BBC's bid was unopposed! They won a one-horse race... Meanwhile...Adrian Chiles is currently being turned into glue.

Still very young (not even a 1st year scholar yet) but possibly could be fast tracked into the first team squad in next few years.

So what? Plus Shelvey isn't particularly defensively minded either, at least in comparison with Cork anyway.

Of the players you list, only 1 is a deep lying central midfielder who would be competition for Cork.

They don't trust your cover story, when the RAF turn up you'll be like this...

Do you think Chelsea consider Burnley a "rival" and don't want to sell players to them? There is a line to be drawn somewhere over who is a rival for league positions and I think Swansea are below Southampton's line. Southampton's rivals for league position this season are Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and possibly West Ham. Saints loaned Ramirez to Hull because they knew we would finish higher than Hull and Hull weren't a threat (cue posts saying Ramirez weakened Hull ).

They aren't really a "rival" this season, we are 12 points ahead with a 25 swing in goal difference between the two sides.

Koeman has given gametime, debuts and time training with the 1st team to a lot of Saints academy players this season. Who?

He has been linked with Swansea for a number of years in the press. It was hardly a radical suggestion that you made 2 days ago.

I doubt they want to block Harrison Reed's pathway. Plus we have some other very promising central midfielders in the academy. Les Reed has mentioned on numerous occasions that the club wants to leave a path into the first team for the top academy players and Cork remaining as a squad player would in some ways block this.

That building covered in corden steel looks a little like a banqueting suite and exhibition hall AFL architects designed for Edgbaston cricket ground. Saints for the Liverpool game have run out of hospitality areas and are using off site locations... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150128-grand-cafe-liverpool-hospitality-2232032.aspx

Players in Spain and Portugal have to have a release clause in their contract. In order to stop them being pinched easily these clauses are often for fees far more than the player is worth.

It doesn't total up the number of empty seats, you'll have to do that yourself by looking at each block.

You don't need to buy a ticket to be able to click on any block and see a seating plan with how many tickets are left. You don't even need to register or log in to do that.

He doesn't need to go direct from Equatorial Guinea to Southampton.
