What a relief to be watching football, instead of reading about players coming and going.

Southampton decided to pay € 9M for the transfer of the Colombian Teofilo Gutierrez, River Plate player.

Osvaldo is an Argentine born Italian, like I'm a Chinese born Englishman. I thought they might speak the same language.

Maybe Osvaldo could be persuaded to partner his fellow countryman

Dame N'Doye?

If this goes through hopefully it will encourage Morgan to stay

I expect Everton fans will be complaining about the incompetence of their board if they fail to sign Tadic.

The bookies seem to think we'll be 10th.

My Saints mug has disappeared at work. I reckon a Liverpool fan has nicked it and written Liverpool on it.

Football players are generally not fans of the teams they play for, although there are some exceptions.

Luke's 18. At that age, his parents will be having a huge influence on his career. He was born in London, so I doubt whether they are Saints fans. He's done well for us but he's work in progress. His defending isn't the greatest, but he's a good dribbler going forward. I wonder whether he will end up in midfield or forward, like Gareth Bale. Good luck to him if they want to leave St Mary's. Looking forward already to seeing how Saints play against him next season! Plenty of money in the kitty to get some good replacements. Lets' see what happens next.

This. And the answer to the OP is no. No more than it would have sent out a tougher message if Liverpool had sold Suarez this time last year instead of keeping him, when he wanted to go.

Koeman Reed and Co have got to convince Schneiderlin and others that we can get into the CL in 2015/16 if we want them to stay. Stating the bleeding obvious.

Yes. Sadly I fear that Bwanamakubwa is right. Lambert's days as a regular striker have ended. He'll just be an occasional substitute in the Prem and hopefully get a few games in the cups. Liverpool won't plan their team formations to suit Lambert's best position, any more than England have done. I hope I'm wrong, but that's the way I see it.

It's good business to talk up the value of SFC's assets.

Some Liverpool fans must be pleased. Their striker done good. That match showed why they had a good season last time. I wonder whether they'll manage to keep him again. Or will a bigger club come in for him? If Suarez leaves, we'll find out whether or not they were essentially a one man team. Roll on next season. COYRs!

Update 19:04 The announcement of Koeman's transition to Southampton will only be made ​​Monday Be it Tuesday at a news conference with Ronald Koeman himself will be present. Known When the club was previously the plan to make the news known prior Spain against the Netherlands because of the PR that the club hereby obtains only in consultation with the manager of Koeman (Albers ed.), it was decided to make the announcement found. Place next week

Sounds as if we're a buying club, not a selling club. And the new manager will have the final say on which players come and go. If they don't want to play for Southampton, then there are apparently lots of talented players who do! Steady the ship.

I think a bit of me wants France to win the world cup.

Nice one Morgan. You deserve it mate.

Possible replacement for Osvaldo?

If we're in the relegation zone at Christmas, then that's the time to worry.

Well said. Managers and players come and go. No one is irreplaceable.

Fantastic goal. Sign him up!
