Saint Charlie

2-1 Brom

Cork

Oh not Fonte but Cork!

Jose!!

Thats why Davis is no1!

Yeah these things always take much longer than they really should.

Seems likely that we will sign Jemal, would be a great signing on the face of it. Sounds exactly what we need. Hopefully can get him in well before the Leeds game.

Not sure Jewell is a great Manager. He spent £1m on Jay Emmanuel-Thomas who despite coming from Arsenal was very poor for Cardiff on loan. He also has not replaced their fitness coach who left end of last season, basically saying 'we don't need a fitness coach to be fit'. Fair principle, but I would trust Nigel's approach more....

Saints Echo reporter Gordon Simpson just told on Twitter that he thinks we are just waiting for a work permit before announcing. That would fit with what Jemal is saying on Facebook.

Jemal would appear to have more long term potential than Gorkss, quite a bit younger, but Gorkss knows English football and has been there and done it. Could be in for both but surely neither of these two or Fonte are worth benching.

Hopefully!

He said we are going to sign more players but no real timeframes. Very positive about the start of the season and thinks we are in a great place at the moment.

Adkins was saying on Saints Player that he wants to play out from the back. Any CB we sign will have to be good on the ball.

Come on you reds last season when we played in white.

I wish Solent would stop asking about Chamberlain. They might as well play one of Adkins interviews from January. They could have asked him about incoming players, seeing as his last interview about De Ridder he said that another deal was close.

He often tweets deals which are on the Sky Website later that day. Has some good contacts somehow.

People who link to or repeat football rumours should be banned....

Lee Holmes the only one to not have an updated picture...

Come on...what do you expect them to say? Actually Steve De Ridder sounds quite genuine in his interview.

Long isn't even that good, a year ago he struggled to get into their team.

Lets get the Hammer signed up! Maybe they are awaiting a work permit or international clearance or similar?

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve!

With a couple more additions we are at least as good as that team, probably better. Sure the team spirit is better too. The standard of the CCC is also better as a whole though.

Ammar Jemal is closing in on a move to Southampton #Saintsfc @fourth_official

Not if you believe the reports from Tunisia and also the guy who told us there was a medical of a young defender. There may have been two medicals.
