SuperSAINT

Sam Wallace just casually dropped in that Roma & Sevilla have shown most interest from abroad...

It worked for me. MASSIVE signing.

Sam Wallace: Southampton forward Nathan Redmond has signed a new four-year deal at the club that represents Saints' most important contract renegotiation of the summer. There has been a major refresh and restructure of the squad this close season by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl and director of football operations Ross Wilson, and keeping Redmond was central to that strategy. The 25-year-old has been used extensively by Hasenhuttl since his arrival in December and his performances for Saints earned him his first senior England cap in May. Securing the long-term future of Redmond, who is going into his fourth season at the club, is crucial to Southampton’s new high-energy, youthful approach under Hasenhuttl. Both Michael Obafemi, 19, and Yan Valery, 20, brought to the academy in their late teens and now first team players, have signed new deals this year. Barring a late intervention today, Mario Lemina is now likely to leave for a European club before the Sept 2 deadline. The former Juventus midfielder has been the subject of interest from Wolves this transfer window, as well as Arsenal. Saints are looking for a permanent move for him, or at the very least a loan with an obligation to buy later. Roma and Sevilla have shown the greatest interest in the 25-year-old. Charlie Austin is in talks with West Bromwich Albion.

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.

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

FFS!

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.
