What do you even mean by that? None of us know what is going on.

Evidence for all of this?

Why do you assume Saints can't do more than one deal at a time?

Sorry to do a MLG, but Coutinho is 20. Born 12th June 1992.

Even if we don't end up getting him, if the £10.2m bid from Saints is true, it shows a) we have big money to spend this window and b) we are looking for players in his position and of his quality. We'd probably move onto another similar target if knocked back.

I'd like to see Adkins wait until Warnock gets sacked (which might be soon) and then go for the Leeds job.

I can't let the opportunity to mention to Neil Allen what a deluded "journalist" he is pass by.

I think that would look pretty good in red and white. Anyone care to mock it up?

They are to hold a GPS system, movement, heart rate monitor etc thing that goes in a pocket between the shoulder blades.

I think he was expecting Barcelona in January to be 30c. They are currently training in sunny Spain at Barcelona's training ground and the Olympic stadium with temperatures 10c warmer than they would have at Staplewood, so he can't complain too much.

It looks alot worse from this angle...

Care to name them? Because at a guess, you have lifted both of those from here... http://www.southamptonrumours.co.uk/ Which is about as unreliable a source as you can get.

Only 4 points above us, they have to come to St Mary's and tonight puts their goal difference very close to ours.

I think you answered your own question.

Well if I wasn't Le Tissier wouldn't reply to me would he.

I'm not attacking him.

I wouldn't put it quite like that, I doubt he'd talk to me if I were.

He could have been indifferent, instead he choose to praise him.

As I said... "he has just been shipped out on loan to League One unlikely to ever play for Saints again", so he didn't have to say something nice.

With Lallana out injured and Mayuka in Africa, we've been playing Guly Do Prado and Steve De Ridder. Would you not like some more competition for the 3 attacking midfielders in the 4-2-3-1 system? In any case, why do you think signing Coutinho means they won't strengthen elsewhere? They can do more than one deal at once, plus we have signed an international centre back already this window.

Dan Seaborne likes him and he has just been shipped out on loan to League One unlikely to ever play for Saints again... http://www.tibsnews.com/news/seaborne-backs-saints-chairman/ ^ that article is a good read for any Saints fan.

How will Dave Merrington cope?

Seemingly so, yes.

A guy claiming to be the Reuters Global Sports Editor... Ossian Shine ‏@ossianshine all froth and wind, no verification but reports flying around that Southampton have had their £10.1m bid for Coutinho accepted.

Nope, they are planning that for the Wigan game next Saturday.
