Simon Kjær could be a name to watch over the next couple of weeks.

Adkins, though, was more open when asked about the positions that need upgrading. "We're going to improve the group," he said. "It is fair to say we are going to need to bring another goalkeeper in as Bartosz [bialkowski] did ever so well for us but didn't play enough games. "We've allowed him to move on to Notts County and I am sure he will have a great career up there. We will bring another one if not two goalkeepers into the fold. "From a defensive point of view, as part of the development we have got we want to bring 50% of the youngsters through the youth team structure, "Aaron Martin, who has waited patiently on the bench, has gone to Crystal Palace for a half season or full season of games to aid his development. "With Radhi Jaidi retiring and the uncertainty over Dan Seaborne coming back, we will be bringing another one if not two centre-halves into the football club to keep improving."

Still think we might see 6 more come in. 1 GK 2 CB's Clyne Buttner or an alternative 1 RM/AM

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Nigel Adkins tells me "we will be bringing one if not two centre-halves in, maybe a full-back. because we do need to improve". #saintsfc

- Hoped that deals had been completed earlier but it's difficult sometimes - Won't comment until they have put pen to paper/hard work behind the scenes etc - Says that deals that happen out of the blue are better than those brought into the media spotlight (alluding to Buttner perhaps?) - Pre-season will give him a chance to see if players will be left behind and if the squad is strong enough - Asked about rumours that Clyne is in talks, says "I can't see him here."

No.

Football Agent South ‏@South_Agent News coming up at some point today from #saintsfc - keep your eyes peeled

Southampton given permission by Crystal Palace to speak to defender Nathaniel Clyne. On the Sky Sports News breaking news ticker now...

Mark Davies or Liam Trotter?

We're apparently paying a fee so can't be Hargreaves or Owen.

I'm excited. I'd personally prefer him to Clyne.

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @roversmadfan1 Well off for centre halves just now. No sales yet either. Nobody wants them or will pay prices Nixon just said this to a Blackburn fan. Would seem to rule out Dann...

Soccer Sauce ‏@soccer_sauce Just in..Wigan have reportedly lodged a £4million bid for Blackpool winger Matt Phillips. #WAFC #Blackpoolfc #bfc

Reckon you're probably right. Schmeichel perhaps?

Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko Southampton should make a good signing in next 24 hours. Don't ask. Saving it for the paper. #progress

We might need Morgan to have a word.

Yes, but he isn't talking about Buttner.

Good shout. Well he's injury-prone anyway if true.

Sounds like Reading are signing the foreign midfielder we were supposedly after. Must be ex-Bolton?

We should sign the former purely based on his name!

Kyle Naughton? Southampton have had a £5m bid for Kyle Naughton rejected. #THFC #Saints

Damn! Just beat me!

Bolton and Southampton have both submitted bids for Bristol City MF Albert Adomah.Both in region of £2million. #BWFC #SAINTSFC #BCFC #SAINTS This is from the guy who broke the news of Wayne Bridge's move to Brighton first.

Told you so
