Saint Charlie

Would hope he is better than Long, and suspect if he has even got close to a Spain squad, that he is. In truth probably a very different style of player, but wouldn't assume that this guy will be a backup squad player.

Alan Nixon said Saints are falling out of the Austin race. I'm not convinced we were ever really in it.

Definitely looks better in the store than on the released marketing pics.

If Jay Rod gets a go centrally like he should then we don't need Austin. Plus Mane (our best attacker) is also best through the middle. I wouldn't prefer Austin over either of those two.

Tell Sam Wallace from the Independent then.

No. He is primarily a striker.

If you watch him on YT he isn't. Looks like a pacy striker more than a midfield playmaker.

Could be an advantage against some of the clumsy PL centre backs - as long as he doesn't mind being on the receiving end of rough stuff. In theory looks like a very handy signing at a good price.

No worries. Loads of stuff online so impossible for everyone to notice everything! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3123114/Everton-set-complete-3million-signing-Barcelona-star-Gerard-Deulofeu.html Good price IMO.

Lallana such a talented player. Was great watching him at St Mary's on top form.

Sterling has been very good tonight.

England so much better with Wilshere in midfield, only central midfielder we have with the required composure and technique.

Does seem odd. Especially as there are other reports of bids for players.

Independent says Saints are interested, alongside WH and Newcastle, but need to wait until we sell Schneiderlin before being able to do any deal. Says QPR want a full £15m and Austin wants to be a first choice wherever he moves.

Looks like Gerard Deulofeu could be heading back to Everton, good signing if it happens. Very talented player.

Saints fan in wanting Saints players to play for England shocker.

Of course, imagine we are looking at a lot of the same players tbh.

Newcastle in for Georgio Wijnaldum who some on here have mentioned would be a good signing. Schteve will know the Dutch market well from his time at Twente.

I don't see anyone making great signings, nor get a sense that anyone is even close to moaning about Reed.

Why be bothered? Why would Bale care about Jake Hesketh scoring for the U21s or yet another media trained JWP interview talking a good game. He plays in a different country and hasnt played for Saints for years. He always talks well about Saints, would be more pathetic if he followed because he thought he had to.

As expected, nothing to do with Saints. All between Arsenal and payments to the Agent, no problem between the two clubs. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/584132/Arsenal-FA-fine-breaching-agent-rules-Calum-Chambers-transfer-Southampton Arsenal wanted Chambers, Chambers wanted to go, Saints agreed a deal.

Spot on.

His Twitter.

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/inter-on-verge-of-signing-slovakian-prospect-duda-the-situation/ Duda to sign for Inter. We have been linked quite a bit with him.

Also why would that player leave Champions League football to join Saints, especially with rumoured interest from top CL teams like Arsenal? Would certainly be an odd move for him IMO on the face of it.
