Is Shane our new number 7? Kinda hoping not, as it means someone else might be coming in...

If we did I would look for Holtby.

This winger we are looking to add to the squad. Would u take Gnarby on loan or look to buy someone else?

How do you think Long would fit into the starting line up. Pelle down the middle and Tadic and Long either side?

simon peach saying sharp close to signing for lufc for undisclosed fee

Nice to see bbc make no mention of saints target. It's always the way, we are used to get the big boys to make their move. That's football unfortunately

To be honest that is probably our best selling point to attract better players. Come to us for a season, if you do well then the CL clubs will come knocking as you can then go and we get big money. Seems a win win situation, only down side is you need to replace each season but a good way to get a better player to the club.

Plans are afoot to bring Steaua's Florin Gardos & Marcos Rojo of Sporting, while Byram & Redmond, amongst others, are on #SaintsFC's radar. So says Simon Peach

We could always go for someone like Richards who can play centre back but also go to right back if Clyne is injured?

It's very unlike saints to admit they are after someone and not be almost there with the deal.

€10m seems fair price. Would be good to have him and Tadic playing off Pelle.

So all being well medical this morning then out in front of the crowd just before kick off today then??

I'd take him. Any idea how much Kiev paid for him? What their asking price might be?

Good signing. Bit of depth to GK now, two very capable PL keepers. Focus now CB then FWD then a midfielder with pace then RB cover.

If he is that good then why is he still at Cardiff ready to play championship football?

Shirt numbers 5 and 7 still free so would suggest 2 more still to come in..

I'd be surprised if Stoke finish that high. I'd settle for 10-14th to be honest after the summer we've had!

If he is going to leave he'll leave. Celtic go out tonight, then he'll leave as no CL to keep him. Celtic go through, they have time to buy a replacement and can offer CL so will get a better replacement.

Might have all been sorted over weekend just not announced at the weekend. Early next week I reckon

Just spoken to my mate who is involved with the club and we have a player booked in for a medical tomorrow. He wouldn't tell me who due to his job but maybe an announcement tomorrow?

The thing with these loans is we are starting to get a bit of depth to midfield. A few different options to change style or formation. Something we lacked last year. I stand by what I said when the sales started. Our starting 11 maybe weaker but our squad will be stronger.

Can't we just get Blind and De Vrij and be done with it.

Rodwell has only played 100 league games in 7 years. Any club that takes him would take him on loan IMO to see if he can actually play a season.

If Lovren comes out and says sorry I think he would make a great captain and leader on the pitch.

Shame he looked great in the World Cup. Not too late Koeman....
