Saint Charlie

Risdale also had zero business acumen. I would personally far rather have Cortese with us than with another club. His record so far shows he gets results and ultimately I want us to be the best team possible.

Decent interview, certainly does no harm. Cortese's ambition can only be a good thing for us.

This.

He is having a medical at LFC on Monday. Shows over on this one.

He is obviously talented but look at Sam Hoskins. He scores consistently at U21 level and had done at Rotherham end of last season. Behind Shaw, JWP etc he is one of the best U21 players yet is on loan at L1 Stevenage and on their bench.

Would be a good signing, seemed almost certain he was Sunderland bound last week though.

Stoke fans creaming themselves at another average signing. Someone like James Perch.

Both might Cortese, a print version and a TV one.

He could be a France Intl for sure. We need to sort him out a new contract as his current one runs out end of next season when he could leave for free.

He is clearly joining Liverpool. Clotese will get us Kris Commons.

Chaplow: Why I'm turning down Leeds to skipper Saints under Pochettino

Zarate close to a move to England, either Sunderland or Southampton.

A tiny bit, but 99% he will go to Liverpool as long as they formalise their verbal bid.

He says Liverpool have agreed to pay €13m that Inter want. Saints contact still alive. Inter will wait til Monday to see if we raise it. If not he will go to Liverpool.

He will go to Liverpool, 99% now.

Sunderland are meant to be leading the Zarate chase. Wouldnt suprise me if we dont bring anyone else in, not sure why.

Sounds like Liverpool have agreed to pay 13m for Coutinho. Tancredi Palmeri says he will reveal on Talksport at 11.15 but thats what Di Marzio from Sky Italia just said.

Flights were probably cheaper.

Firmino def not mentioned elsewhere before. First link was DPS today.

@rchap04 “@benmiles76: @Rchap04 for get temple run! Rumour is your off to Leeds??? Hope not!” #fiction

Chaplow currently getting stick from Leeds fans because he said he wasnt moving there. Productive day.

Chaplow to Leeds probably set for back page tomorrow.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10187418.Saints_could_switch_transfer_target/?ref=twt Seems Echo sources have picked up on the fictional rumour DPS started earlier. Fail. And they wonder why Cortese treats them like a joke...

I reckon Hooiveld to Wolves.

What have I started? Best thing now would be if Chaplow or SDR did actually join Leeds.
