SuperSAINT

Wer'e linked with a summer move... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-eyeing-transfer-norwich-rising-11837814 Like he will join a championship team!

@SouthamptonFC #SaintsFC boss Mauricio Pellegrino adds that attacking options are a priority in the transfer window No sh*t.

HERNANDEZ ON THE MOVE? We understand West Ham will listen to offers for Javier Hernandez. The Mexico forward moved to West Ham from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m last summer but he has scored only four times this season. David Moyes is concerned the squad he inherited from Slaven Bilic is unbalanced with too many attackers and not enough defenders. Hernandez, who earns £115,000 a week, is the top earner at West Ham.

I can say too expensive because he's on nearly double our top earners. I'm not saying I wouldn't sign him.

@Smudgersport: Sam confirms interest in MCQueen at Southampton #readingfc

Who's been f*cking with the filters on the Black-box again?!

PALACE EYE BABACAR? Our Sky colleagues in Italy are reporting that Crystal Palace have made a bid for Fiorentina striker Khouma Babacar. Palace manager Roy Hodgson has made signing a striker a priority in the January window as his first choice option Christian Benteke has scored just once in 16 games. Babacar, 24, has scored four times in Serie A this season after netting 10 last year. He earned his first call-up for Senegal in March last year.

It's the only Saints Podcast I've listened to. It started off well & has gotten better as the weeks have gone on. Honourable mention to the episode with Billy Sh*te on who manages to get through the episode without swearing!

Sounds like we will end up with players way down our shortlist, which we will pretend were No.1 choices. Bit like the manager.

Remove him from the "Who can get Saints promoted?" manager shortlist... Rowett signs new contract at Derby.

It's why I'm not remotely surprised Claude is doing well there. Vardy. Iheancho. Slimani. Okazaki. Ulloa. Plus Mahrez & Gray. What a great array of attacking talent they have.

Yeah, no doubt those are impressive. If we do sign him, we are going to have to change the way we play, or else he will just pick the ball up on the half way line and have 1 striker in front of him with no other support.

He usually comes across well. I thought he seemed a bit hyper & OTT last night.

Iheanaho was somebody I completely got wrong in the summer. I thought he'd be a brilliant signing for them.

Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino wants Theo Walcott or Guido Carrillo to fire him back into fans' good books: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/southampton-transfers-mauricio-pellegrino-theo-walcott-guido-carrillo-goals-a8148536.html

Everton ready to sell Oumar Niasse to Crystal Palace, Brighton or West Brom ~ @DaveHytner https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jan/08/everton-oumar-niasse-crystal-palace-brighton-west-brom?CMP=share_btn_tw

@TeleFootball: Arsenal holding out for around £35million as Man City prepare Alexis Sanchez bid ~ @TelegraphDucker http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/01/08/arsenal-want-35million-alexis-sanchez-man-city-prepare-opening/ Nabil Fekir features highly on Arsenal's list of players to replace Sanchez. That link somewhat relates to any interest in Walcott too.

@gffn: Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim in today's press conference: "We do not typically sell players in the winter transfer window. But the month is long and many things could happen."

We've had no shortage of potential candidates.... Carrillo has had the most noise about him in the media.

Made of biscuits, but quality. Can create his own chances out of nothing.

vs Yeovil, perhaps? I would take that.

What to believe. Early post-VvD Telegraph article mentioned us being interested. Sky reporting the other day that we had no interest in him (or Sessegnon). I assume an updated Telegraph piece would give us our answer. Surely he must be available though?

With our luck: Barcelona away

Mane was in Austria at the same age.
