The Saints XI tonight.

& now this... I'm sure he imagines Utd etc want him, when in reality it's teams who can't afford him.

Poor Mario. Poor Mario's agent. Poor Saints.

I’d take £5m at this rate.

Unsurprising news that Boca can't finance a move.. http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-player-managers-first-choice-target-club-face-difficulty-complete-transfer/

Is this confirmed yet? Only saw it reported by Football-Insider, who have a pretty patchy record with us.

I'm always curious to know if bringing back players like Vic or Morgan would work? Have they lost their hunger & drive that made them great? or would playing regularly kick-start them again?

I thought Villa were well stocked in central midfield anyway. Grealish & McGinn already good enough for the Prem. Douglas Luiz has just signed. Marvelous Nakamba about to sign.

Yeah, great thread. I always want players (more so the young players) to do well after leaving.

Possibly. I read yesterday they wanted 5 signings in before the window closes. They've signed a Lossl / Delph / Andre Gomes so far, but have free'd up a fair bit of money after selling Gueye / Vlasic / Lookman.

He was adamant we’d sign 1 or 2 in January but that never transpired either. Signing a succession of crap players really has caught up with us.

I would say I can’t imagine Everton signing a player who can’t get in our 1st team — Then I remembered Martina & Stekelenburg

This is one of those 'is this legit, or is it just for SkyBet punters?' transfer stories. Good news if it's true as they can at least afford him. Will wait & see if any of the Merseyside regulars confirm it.

No shortage of media mentions. Moves to the Premier league / Serie A / Ligue 1 / Turkey have all been mentioned. No sign of anyone yet seemingly willing to stump up the cash for him. On paper, he was the 1 player I thought would be easiest to shift. In reality, he's posting video clips of himself for scouts!

Daily mail linked us with him back in May. Football insider has a sketchy track record - hope somebody better sourced confirms it.

Good to have you guys back. Keep posting updates on this thread, Ben. Anyone not happy about you bumping this thread shouldn’t be clicking on it anyway.

Billing to Bournemouth edges closer.

This is the injury thread, MLG. Not the Djenepo GPS tracker thread

Hojbjerg? Agree on the outgoings. I think we will see some loans out towards the end of the window.
