Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Despite reports of an £8million bid, I am led to believe #LFC have not been in contact with #SaintsFC about Shane Long

I certainly echo everyone who said it reminds them of the Clyne scenario. I'll believe it if I see it on the OS or I see a thumbs-up from K.Billy. No when else. On a side-note to the other piece of note in the article re: recruitment of U21's : Demarai Gray is 19, Saints

The one thing for sure is, of this is legit - we will certainly found out more later on as let's not forget how Liverpool work the press. Bet the Liverpool Echo will soon be saying his heart is set on joining them etc. Lol @ £8m though.

Can watch that piece here: http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/10134343/rodgers-on-sanchez-balotelli

Osvaldo's had a hell of a time though!

Talking to a Liverpool supporting mate before the game about what they need to do in the summer and Lallana was on his 'clear out' list. Very satisfying

The big question: 5-3-2? or 4-2-3-1?

Loan, I assume?

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Coming exclusively to http://youtube.com/southamptonfc at 7.30pm GMT: @chazaustin9's first interview as a #SaintsFC player.

Do we want Liverpool to beat them tomorrow so the pressure REALLY ramps up on LvG or not?

I've not really kept up with the proposed Liverpool link. Why do they need him exactly? Benteke / Origi / Firmino / Sturridge? When would he play?

Very pleased with this signing - he was the scourge of us for a few years! Seems like a bargain too at £4m. Agree with Ralph too in that it's good to get more English players in.

Nice work mate. Cheers.

Great news if true! I assume he's fit enough to pass a medical?

Bats, I believe Over land and sea did pretty damn good job on this thread for this... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?45712-Keeping-track-of-the-contracts&highlight=keeping+track#.VpkjdfmLTIU Not sure how up-to-date it is (Think Sims signed a new deal, for example) - but it's a good place to start.

& the manager, no doubt.

Ziyech please!

So even though he's barely played, does this mean we'll be looking for a new "No.10"?

Phew! - We all needed that win. Very happy - sets us up for Saturday now. (Great to see Forster back too).

I might have expected that move under **** Advocaat - But under Big Sam?

Thought the same.
