The Vincent Tan vindication stroll...

I doubt they'd want to block the pathway for Targett. Plus, Riise really isn't very good anymore as last season showed.

He did exactly that the last time we played West Brom at St Mary's... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25600388

Paul Lambert August 2014... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28854834 Paul Lambert January 2014... http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-news-paul-lambert-reveals-aston-villa-interest-in-signing-wigan-striker-grant-holt-9057404.html

How do you know that? Just because the club aren't giving you (or the press) a minute by minute update doesn't mean they aren't doing anything on the transfer front.

Two of those weeks are for an international break, so if it really is a month he'll only miss the West Brom & West Ham league games and Millwall in the cup. Plus he was in training with Saints last week, so a month does seem a long time for him to return to games. The Saints interviews last week suggested it would be one or two weeks.

What makes you think they haven't? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/norwich-city/10968778/Norwich-reject-Southampton-and-Stoke-City-bids-for-Nathan-Redmond.html

To save you from a further nightmare, its on Sunday.

He has a very high consistency rating out of 20 from the Feyenoord researcher which makes a big difference. Lets hope thats accurate...

CA = Current ability given a score from 1 to 200 PA = Potential ability given a score from 1 to 200

You can look the FM14 ones up yourself.

His CA isn't particularly great as he hasn't proven himself in a decent European league yet, but his PA is good.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 13m PRESS CONFERENCE: You can watch @RonaldKoeman’s pre-@LFC press conference live via http://www.youtube.com/southamptonfc at 3.30pm BST today. #saintsfc

All whilst sat on the deck of one of these...

I think that first appeared in the press three weeks ago on 25th July... http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/25/southampton-morgan-schneiderlin-tottenham

Koeman says he can play on the right or left... Exactly!

I think more likely it'll stay the same system as Koeman's used throughout pre-season, with Long replacing Isgrove. Forster Clyne Fonte Gardos Bertrand (when fit) Wanyama Davis Taider/Schneiderlin Tadic Long/Rodriguez Pelle

Gardos has confirmed he is injured and will miss the Liverpool game and possibly a couple of weeks. From 4:15...

I may be wrong but... 1st January 2009 Lee Molyneux and Ryan Smith signed permanent Southampton contracts.
