1 done.

Sky reporting he's signed a new contract... 10am sweepstake? BOOM! #SaintsFC's @NathanRedmond22 has signed a new four-year contract with the club!

Who do we think? - Harry Lewis (no point being 4th choice) - Hesketh (assuming he's fit) - Reed (assuming Lemina leaves in the next few weeks) - Barnes (unless we want him to bulk out the U23 forward line)

New contract for Redz / Hoj, please.

Assuming he passes the medical, he'll be back in a couple of months when his hammy goes. He'd have to be managed carefully in the championship.

Adam Blackmore: #saintsfc confident/hopeful that Charlie Austin could get a move today #WBA strong possibility after earlier interest Austin, Lemina & Carrillo the 3 senior players not in squad But the other two (& anyone else) can still get moves abroad until Aug 31st ————- Adam Leitch: #DeadlineDay hopes at #SaintsFC not high at this stage - Austin could go but need a late move to get anyone else out - Interest in players from overseas but their windows remain open so unlikely today - Without sales can't expect more signings - Loans expected for some youngsters

Solid signing. Assuming he passes a medical, I imagine we’re paying a good chunk of his wages but anything they pay is a saving for us.

It's better than "Southampton are willing to listen to offers for Austin / Lemina etc" they've run for the last 3 weeks!

Nixon was consistent for weeks saying we wanted Ings.

The quick answer, which I know you know, is that we’ve spent before but lumbered ourselves with millions & millions of pounds worth of contracts which have & will hamper us for some time.

Dundee Utd reject Palace bid for rumoured Saints target Scott Banks

Hey Everton, we’ve got one for you at less than half the price.

FFS!

Everton bid for Zaha again

Coutinho could play off the left & Dybala off Kane. We know Poch's attacking shape is really fluid anyway.

I weirdly like Football-insider because they come up with unique player links etc... A fair few of them never come true though.

I’d take a lower fee if it gets him out permanently. Obligation after 30 games doesn’t do us any favours (unless he looks amazing for them). Not sure Nuno will put up with his bad games.

Lemina is like a human smoke-screen for clubs this window.
