Pretty sure Leicester were looking for a loan. Don't see Vest going anywhere this window.

@mcgrathmike: Southampton midfielder Callum Slattery is heading to Dutch club De Graafschap on a six-month loan #SaintsFC #DeGraafschap The England U20 international has been allowed out to get regular first-team football

Hell of a deal for Hull. He’s out of contract this summer.

Who needs extra fullbacks anyway?!

Summer would make more sense. This move might also depend on terms of the agreement we have with him that got discussed at the forum before last.

Their squad is likely on tiny wages relative to the tv money though.

& our recruitment expert isn’t supposedly joining until the summer.

Done

This upcoming summer is huge. Deserves its own thread.

Very likely.

Probably a good bet. Ralph was talking about left-back being the priority a while ago.

Correct.

Agreed. Lemina represents the wave of recent Saints signings who saw us as a stepping stone after a season or two, but who forgot they actually needed to be good in order to get the move.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/club-ready-offer-e8m-southampton-player-half-agreed-fee/ If they take all his wages on, I’d probably take that.

Should be a full proof signing after Pekhart / Falque / Forecast ripped it up for us over the years

A loan with an obligation maybe? Certainly have the money available if we don’t take up the Danso option.

Nothing new really for us! - it’s why I’m keeping half an eye on the Che Adams stuff. I saw Brendan talking about getting “cover” until the end of the season which backs up the loan for Vest talk.

The RB Leipzig striker?!
