@HullCity: We are delighted to confirm the signing of Lazar Marković on loan from @LFC until the end of the season #WelcomeLazar

Unless it's the most prolonged agent talk ever, I think there's something in the Gabbiadini talk. But surely not for anywhere near £20m. I'd be happy with a loan, with clauses.

SSN: Everton have announced that winger Gerard Deulofeu has joined AC Milan on loan until the end of the season.

Everton will likely take a punt on Forster in the summer.

What if he's an outstanding prospect? Not sure you can count Martina & Pied as long term.

That's why I said realistically, Charlie. I don't see him playing Wednesday and I'm not convinced about "dosing him up" and risking further injury.

Links on HITC (via The Sun) linking us with Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk & Barnsley right-back James Bree http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/01/23/report-brighton-will-reject-all-offers-for-lewis-dunk-southampto/

Realistically, I would say best case scenario is he missed Wednesday & back for Arsenal.

We're linked with Phil Jagielka. Little bit of a generic link.

Palace & Boro looking at loaning Oliver Burke http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/crystal-palace-middlesbrough-eye-oliver-9669461 Hell of a talent IMO.

I can see us leaving it, getting an injury and having a tin pot defence to go alongside our tin pot strikers.

I believe Andy's son predicts signings.

^ so is that where the Fonte cash is going?

@SkyKaveh: Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli flying to England next week to meet Southampton about deal for Manolo Gabbiadini. Napoli want £20m

Incredible if true.

STOKE MAKE BERAHINO PROGRESS Sky Sources understand negotiations between Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion are progressing well over the possible transfer of Saido Berahino. Sky Sports News HQ reported 10 days ago that Stoke had made a bid for the striker. Now Albion have responded and re-engaged with talks. A fee hasn't yet been agreed, but both sides are getting closer, we've been told.

They don't tell Crook anything.

Been told by going on the Internet.

I blame my auto-correct... With Davo out, that's the one I'd go for.

Koeman on Jagielka: "It depends if there is interest from other clubs." Might possibly indicate they want another centre-back?

Virgil is fit for Sunday. (via Adam Blackmore's chat with Claude Puel)

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Puel says he will not comment on transfer speculation, and that the situation with José Fonte remains unchanged. #saintsfc
