Yes I forgot that marquee signing my mistake. All in seriousness I was referring to the '3' that Ron mentioned.

So last week came and went. Nothing. The weekend came and went. Nothing. Monday has come and (nearly) gone. Nothing. Can I have some suggestions as to when I can cause my bedding some distress? I don't think my bladder will last to September One so any dates offered need to be ahead of this please.

Who are ya? Who are ya?

How accurate have his snippets been?

Agreed. Maybe he's looking for a career change into the corporate acquisition / selling side of things? I have to say I'm full of admiration for so many posters on here remaining positive. I'm increasingly finding it very difficult to see anything to be positive about of our current situation whatsoever. Hey ho.

The 'management' of a successful sale of a club would look fine on a CV I would imagine. A big pay day in tandem would soften the blow of having to seek new employment.

Job at SFC player recruitment awaits for you.

What's the basis for your view on Pelle?

Definitely not and he definitely didn't talk to Spurs officials about our players in Toronto last week. Definitely.

Adam Blackmore says it's Davis.

Maybe I should mention Cortese a little more. Touché.

On the basis they took the emphasis off 'English' that still leaves us with a 'keeper and forward which again would suggest not Rojo. Be interesting if we do see two players arrive tomorrow / end of the week.

It's still on her SSN twitter account as above, it hasn't been altered.

From Tuesday: @SkySportsAmy: Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Did Ralph confirm we would make (these) signings in his interviews on Tuesday? If so, we've had Bertrand so that leaves a 'keeper and a forward so that would appear to rule out Rojo on both nationality and position or ......

I see SSN are still reporting that MS 'has requested a move away from St.Mary's' despite other news outlets (Daily Echo) suggesting this is not the case - well, not a written transfer request anyway.

I wonder if Ronald knows of any Dutch boys with a spare finger?

The tweet is still there on her SSN account @SkySportsAmy: Sources: Southampton hoping to bring in a keeper, defender and a forward by the end of this week with a focus on young English talent Yes thorpie I forgot about the 'keeper' comment so Forster it could be.

So SSN (Amy Lewis?) were reporting Tuesday that we would make 3 signings before the end of the week 'with a focus / emphasis on young English talent" or words to that effect. So Bertrand is one of them and you would think at least one of the other two would fit the above criteria. So who's our money on? Ings? Redmond?

Why bring Cortese into everything, it's irrelevant. Spoke with a Villa season-ticket friend last night who said he's a good signing. Quick but does day dream and switch off occasionally.

You said he is not getting a great reception because he was the first player in. He isn't so what is the reason? You don't have to use expletives to explain I'm sure. If you look after my post several other posters made exactly the same comment. I think most of the underwhelming comments are partly due to him being a loan and maybe reflective of the clubs way forwards as opposed to being directed at the new player himself. I for one wish him the best and hope we have a few more to follow. Ralph said three by the end of the week so we should know shortly.

Tadic, Pelle.

I'm not sure why Rogers is referencing 'exciting English talent' to a loan signing. Hardly seems relevant. He's here for a season, a stop-gap, not part of the building program for the future. If he is to be here for longer then why not a permanent signing?

SSN reporting he's expressed a desire to speak to Liverpool tomorrow morning.

Lovren wasn't part of that core then?

Let's hope that's not his career highlights
