We are unlikely to heavily invest in players without selling 1st. History shows us that.

That's why it's a big season for him.

They say they won't make a move for him unless we show an inclination to sell him. So the plan will likely be to have VvD kick-off and then try to force our hand to do business.

I'd laugh if we end up with Caceres.

We played 3 at the back under Ronald before playing 3 at the back was cool.

Big season coming up for him. Massive season if Bertrand goes.

Good post. I'm curious how MP will line us up? We're probably 1 striker heavy if we are going to go with 1 up top & will certainly be another departure if the French lad from Italy turns up. Certainly agree with the partner for Romeu bit. Will be keeping tabs on if there's anymore rumblings of Clasie going to Italy - If that happens, we will definitely get another one in.

Maybe he will get loaned out? Can't see too many buyers for him. I think you're right. Lets hope VvD stays - I'm sure we shall find out more about this next week when he (in theory) should return to training. I'm still aware Liverpool aren't being linked with many other centre-back moves - Until they sign another one, I'm going to assume they are still lurking

I think that's it for now. (We will find out at 1pm).

Wimborne_saint is on fire today!

This is great news and caps a what has been basically a remarkable 6 months for him. Looking forward to seeing how he develops this season. (I must give Claude a mention in this though - Yeah we played some boring stuff, but he really did improve some players, and not many coaches would have played and stuck with Stephens when they had Caceres available).

Top work mate.

I would say he's as ITK as you can be when he comes to this one.

Yay! Awesome news. That loan move worked out fantastically well. What a difference a year makes. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-07-01/announcement-sam-gallagher-new-southampton-contract

But he still scores...

So did they go away from VvD because we won't sell him? or because they've been told he only wants Liverpool move?

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15383646.Saints_ready_for_more_contracts___but_there_remains_a_glaring_absentee/?ref=rss Come on Saints, let's not "Jack Cork" him.

So is that Costa fella they have.

This 100%. Watford want him. Les probably favours Harrison Reed.
