People need to chill, it's the same every year. How many have WHU and Reading signed so far....

Don't like the annoying pop up you get when you go on, that mentions cookies, the new website and offering hospitality, soo annoying!

Nothing on the OS, but: Fourth Official ‏@FourthOfficial_ Former Everton goalkeeper @ADavies40 has signed for Southampton

Of Harding goes it'll be because we have another left back coming in. We wouldnt let him go without 2 left backs and can't beleive we are going to use a 17yr old as back up

Think they need to find somewhere else to plant the trees. They seem to want to put them in the car parking spaces!

Andy Carroll

Does anyone know of a good company to use for Basingstoke area? Or any saints fans with a top notch car and wanna earn a few quid :-) It seems as soon as u mention wedding it doubles in price. Not really sure what car I'm looking for I think price will dictate more.

Thats the fella! Thanks Just googled him: Southampton are in talks with Dutch defender Ruud Knol. The 26-year-old is currently out of contract and on the lookout for a new club, and joined the South Coast club on a two-day trial on Monday. After an impressive showing in Southampton reserves' 2-0 victory at Woking on Tuesday night, Southampton boss George Burley is thought to be keen to add the defender to his squad. Knol let his contract at Vitesse Arnhem expire this summer as he decided he needed a new challenge after seven years at the club. The player had previously been linked with moves to Sunderland and Cologne. New we took a dutch defender on trial a few years back....

I brought this up in another thead but to keep that one on topic i'll ask it in a new thread instead. Has Ron Vlaar played in a few pre season friendlies for us before? I'm positive we had him on trial when he was younger. If it wasn't him, does anyone know who the young dutch defender i'm thinking of was then please....

If it wasn't him i'd love to know who it was. I'm sure it was him though, i remember we played a dutch centre back (youngster) in a few pre season games a few years back now.

RE: Ron Vlaar, didn't we have him on trail a few years ago but didn't sign him up?

Or first team football over being a backup player?

Wonder what song Gazza sang? All part of team building I guess

Why would photos be being done at st Mary's? Both Clyne and Gazzaniga went to France to have theirs done as that is where the media team are

Can't agrue he played well in those 45mins though.

Linked with Fulham. Can see that happening too, more established side and all. Would rather take De Bruyne from tham as that's a position we need dealing with.

I'd always expect the first bid to be rejected. If you were buying a player and they accept your first offer, to me i'd be thinking, ah maybe we should have offered less. First bid go in lower than what you are prepared to pay and test the water..

Adkins mentioned 1 or 2 gk's. I think he was always confident on getting Gazzaniga in, i still think the other one is Butland we are after. Least we have a backup keeper that isn't Forecast now though. I guess in an ideal world he could do with going on loan to a Championship side to play at a higher level than L2.

We need a right mid but I don't think we will get one. Adkins didn't mention it in his round up, we've not been linked to any and just given Guly a new contract

Matty Phillips linked with Everton. Would sort our right mid problem out...

Clear to spot the three senior players who have no future at the club

Does anyone know if Barnard, Dickson and Forte went with the squad to France or will they play tonight?

Least he didn't try this...http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/keeper-kicks-off-campaign-own-goal-howler-100636427.html

Keep an eye out for him and anybody else at the games today...

Gone back to Wolfsburg but club said not ruling out selling him. Player keen on premier league
