Relegated Villa Leicester Watford Promoted M'boro Derby Forest I'll take the option to review at the end of transfer window

As the title says, breaking news on SSN. Hope Koeman is not their first choice

Don't forget that there could also be a potential transfer/loan fee for Gaston Ramirez and Dani Osvaldo and the saving of their two wages which are both high up there with our top earners. I would be more surprised if we didnt bring in half a dozen and thats with out possibly having to replace Morgan & Clyne. We know we need one more striker (although that may be classed as JRod) & GK, replacements or the permanent signings of Toby, Elia, & Djuricic so there is 5 already without any beefing up of the squad. If we qualify for Europa I would expect to see a few more academy players bought through as well.

Would love Toby to stay but not sure he will. Elia may be worth punt at £3m but wouldn't be surprised if we look else where. apart from Newcastle I dont think i can remember him doing anything. Djuricic - not seen anything that would make me want to sign him. Still think we would have been better off getting another striker on loan in January rather than another attacking midfielder.

Fonte for me too

It's an interesting one actually, when is it ok to start believing now, with 10 games remaining, or with 5 ???? As Gary said I have also been supporting saints for 25 years and feel it's too good to be true when talking about champions league. Working in the West Midlands drinking out of a saints mug in meetings certainly is a talking point at the moment when new clients come in tends to be a good ice breaker at the moment. What I have noticed over the last few weeks is these people seem to be believing we have a chance to qualify more than I do, I just stick to my "I'd still snap your hand off for a top 6 finish"

Don't forget the scottish Ryan Giggs ........ Aka Neil McCann

I'm watching through the website myp2p link 1 not too bad so far

I wouldn't pay any of the fee's we sold for as i think we got a very good price for all of these players and none (possibly Lambert back in his day) are worth what we sold for. I too do not understand the Chambers love in, he is good yes, but I wouldn't have him in my starting line up at Saints.

Neil Ruddock

mine is Saintnohope

I think Jack Rodwell & Scott Sinclair would be good options, look to kick-start their careers, they obviously have the talent and they could speak to the younger/academy players and explain that a "dream" big money move to a big 4 isn't always the best move career move especially internationally wise and its better to be playing consistently than sat on a bench and only starting games against Degenham in the cup, like what is about to happen to Chambers. Koeman knows Guidetti so that may not be a bad move either, surely a better back up option that Sharp (awaits the abuse) and Mayuka.

Wow logged on and thought that's a few new pages since lunch time there must be rumours of in comings ......... But no just the same old posters having the same old arguments. I suppose it is a forum maybe you could start a 'I want an argument thread' so those logging in on to see if there is any transfer news don't have to scroll through so much crap

I would be very happy with Vlaar, I work with & know a lot of Villa fans and like pangy said they all think he's their most important player even above Benteke. To be honest I'd love it if we got him just to annoy them because I have to keep listening to "you're being ripped apart just like Villa were, you'll be fighting relegation next year" they still portray us as a small burnley(esque) team

I dont know about being an academy player but isn't he at Southampton/Solent University doing Sports Science??? if he was there then he wouldnt be a full time academy player

There must be a few reasons why no premier league club has taken a chance on Rhodes as yet he has been touted for ages for a big move

I don't get this theory that all the players want out because they all believed what Cortese sold them and now he's gone they don't believe anymore. It was always going to be a massive task to get us in to the top 4 and if we had of get into the top 4 the chances are we would have replaced these players with bigger & better players anyway. Lambert left because it was Liverpool. Lallana has the lure of champions league football, Shaw has left for arguably one of the biggest clubs in the world for an absolute ridiculous wage. As with the already mentioned & Schneiderlin & Lovren they have been on international duty with players who play at massive clubs who will probably have been talking about the 'holy grail' of champions league. They also probably think playing for a top 4 club will help them cement places in international squads. I think unfortunately we have been victims of our own quick rise & more hampered this year because of World Cup. It would be nice to keep hold of Schneiderlin for at least another year. He stayed with us in league 1 when he was being told by the French set up to leave so fingers crossed.

Shaw to Spurs for £37m

1. Niemi 2. Dodd 3. Bridge 6. Svensson 5. Lovren 4. Schneiderlin 7. Le Tissier 8. Oakley 11. Lallana 9. Shearer 10. Lambert Manager. Pochettino

i too had the woolwich savings account and also went to the Saturday football at Oaklands for years run by Mike Harvey. My mum and dad ran the kitchen/canteen there for a few years too on the sat mornings.

Depending on who actually goes only include dead teams I think could go. Norwich - Ruddy, Redmond Cardiff - Caulker, Medel Fulham - Stekelenburg, Holtby (I know he's only on loan) Sunderland - West Brom - Berahino, Yacob (although we are covered in this position) Crystal Palace -

living in the West Midlands i have heard a lot about the goings on at Coventry and its a disgrace. I have signed and shared on facebook

Jim white from Sky tweeting that we have moved for Astori this link doesn't show any sign of slowing down https://twitter.com/sky_jimwhite/status/429035156197089280
