Bahebeck AND another forward then?

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 1m1 minute ago Lots of talk about #SaintsFC captain Jose Fonte but from what I hear he is not going anywhere

Maybe it is Fonte that has signed the new deal then.

f6nte: 7 years of Passion,hard work,dedication and putting the team first,we was able to achieve success after success!!! Thank you for being there all the way Jose has just posted this on Instagram. Could be taken either way...

Welcome Rafa Silva.

Why on Earth would anyone put Clasie in the starting XI?

Thanks for the info EBS. I take it he is from a foreign league then?

Thanks for the update Guan. All very encouraging.

Do we really need another central midfielder?!

Maybe an announcement prior to the Espanyol game?

August 26th.

Us, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea are all still interested in Boufal, despite Watford agreeing a fee.

Adam Nagy is set to sign for Bologna today/tomorrow apparently, so we can cross him off the list.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/dutch-striker-offer-join-southampton-summer/ "Southampton have reportedly joined the race for Bas Dost. The Wolfsburg striker, who was close to joining Betis, has been attracting the attention of many other European clubs lately. According to El Desmarque, the 27-year-old has offers from Germany, Turkey, Spain and England. As Betis and Besiktas were already known to be in the battle for the Dutch player, Southampton are the latest team to show interest. It’s not made clear what the nature of the offers is, whether it’s just an open offer to join, or an approach to the German club. Although Wolfsburg want to start the negotiations at €10m, El Desmarque says the talk in Germany is that €7m should be enough to take the player from the club, since there’s only one year of contract left for him. Bas Dost reportedly would like to play in La Liga, but his salary is a big issue for Betis: He wants to earn €2m net per year, which is considered to be too high for the Spanish club. The striker didn’t have a particularly good or particularly bad season in 2015/16, scoring 10 goals in 31 appearances for Wolfsburg." €7m seems like a bit of a bargain...

"The path of the Premier League seems to specify daily for Sofiane Boufal. Another English club adds to the list of clubs interested in Moroccan international services. This is Southampton who have made an offer of 30 million euros. Sofiane Boufal has not yet decided about his future. But according to several sources, the middle LOSC would be very close to the English league. Several Premier League clubs have also expressed her interest for his services, such as Chelsea and Arsenal. Apart from the great English training, Southampton also entered the race to recruit the Lion of the Atlas. Club officials have indeed made an offer of 30 million euros to the direction of Lille. If we follow the logic, Sofiane Boufal should sign in Southampton that seeks to overcome the departure of the Senegalese international, Sadio Mané, sold to Liverpool there are only a few days, against 36 million euros. Recruitment that had also ruled out the Boufal track to join the Reds."

Would be an excellent signing!

Sidibe was on France's standby list for the Euros so he's certainly highly-rated.

PortugueseSoccer.com ‏@PsoccerCOM 2m2 minutes ago A Bola: Catalonia Daily Mundo Deportivo reports that Barca interested Cedric (Southampton), Joao Cancelo, Andre Gomes (Valencia).

Puel certainly turned Hatem Ben Arfa into a world-beater last season...

Demarai Gray.

My 1st thought was Guly.

I'm hoping West Brom but they probably won't.

You do realise this is a week tomorrow, right?
