Double unveiling on Sunday?

Stefan Coerts ‏@StefanCoerts ‪#Vitesse‬ have reached an agreement with Southampton over the transfer of Alexander ‪#Buttner‬. Will undergo medical shortly. ‪#Saintsfc

Stefan Coerts is the Dutch football editor for Goal.com so could be something in this.

Really??

Another slow news day at the Echo then....

You're right. He did say that we had a very exciting deal lined up two weeks ago though.

One of the club photographers said this when questioned on transfer activity. Paul watts ‏@Wattsypics @danbsfc don't worry it be like waiting for a bus ... Wait ages and they all come at once !

The latest offering from Football Rumours... 05 Jul 2012 09:51:25 Greame Bailey revealed on SSN 2 days ago that Southampton will make a massive signing that will rock english football - FACT Jack Rodwell was at saints training ground on Friday - this is a fact Don't know if a transfer is in place, dont know a fee, dont know a wage ... for all i know he may be visiting friends or checking out the new youth set up But i can guarentee you he was at the training ground and i have a photo to prove it.

We'll have to wait and see.

Ian Abrahams ‏@Moose_talkSPORT Along with the 3 top guys for W Ham transfer news @NewsWHUFC @WHU_transfers @WHUFC_News it looks like Milos Krasic is close to joining WHam.

If rumours are to be believed then West Ham are close to signing Milos Krasic from Juventus. Now that would be a signing that would get me excited! I hope we're targeting a similar calibre of player...

I've got a feeling we will see a new signing on Monday.

As long as it's not from the same source that this poster heard we had made a joint £10m bid for Butland and Redmond from Brum...football rumours, I'll be more inclined to believe it.

If rumours are to be believed Buttner is obviously being seen as the more value for money option by the club. Especially if Wolves are really asking for £10m...

I know a few people mentioned him on here but Paul Robinson (the GK) is reportedly signing for Besiktas tomorrow. Interesting move.

Peter White ‏@peterwhite_1 Despite many reports to the contrary Saints want to sign Buttner not Butland #saintsfc This gets better and better.

Does say he's left sided so maybe he plays left midfield as well? I wonder if we're planning on moving Lallana to a more central position.

"Our supporters should be reassured that the club will not accept any derisory financial offers for any of our key players, as has been suggested, but equally we are required to make sound and balanced financial decisions which we accept are not always going to be popular. After all, this is a business. I am sure no one wants the club to go into administration, particularly when my remit is for the club to be self sufficient." Part of Pannu's statement. Around the £4 million mark should be enough to get Butland I would have thought.

Is this the same Birmingham that just sold Jordan Mutch to Cardiff for a cut-price fee? They're there for the taking if you ask me.
