Pelle still struggling with knee injury. Austin will be part of the squad this weekend.

Well worthy of it's own thread, Charlie. Great memories & ran himself into the ground for us.

BORO BID FOR PHILLIPS Queens Park Rangers have received a £6million offer from Middlesbrough for forward Matt Phillips, according to Sky sources.

Possibly, I seem to recall Gareth Rogers saying that there was a plan in place to pay it off in the future (Which I assumed mean't "new tv deal!") * Found the interview with Rodgers. £62.1m was the level of debt. (Owed largely to the shareholder, or to institutions backed by the shareholder") "Going forward, that will seen to be reduced over time" https://audioboom.com/boos/3668264-listen-southampton-chief-executive-gareth-rogers-talks-to-adam-blackmore-about-the-club-s-financial-report-for-2014-15

True. Imagine a fair bit of the new TV deal needs to go back to Kat to pay-off those loans she provided us.

Wrong thread, MLG?

Agree. He added 'x-factor' to our attack. Loved those days.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. I think he's only going to get a look-in if Mane + Long are both injured. He can't really be happy with his game-time so far. I do seem recall an article that he was signed with next season in mind, but I'm not convinced just yet.

I think it would be good if he goes to Swansea as post-Shelvey, they've likely got the cash to pay all of his wages. I imagine it would be a loan until the end of the season.

Alan Nixon saying Watford have bid £10m for Montero @ Swansea.

WATFORD BACK IN FOR SUAREZ Watford have renewed their interest in Fiorentina midfielder Mario Suarez, according to Sky sources. Talks had broken down earlier in this window, but it seems they could now be resurrected. If the deal goes through, it would be a permanent transfer.

I hope the recruitment department are watching the game on a stream.

Crikey, I'd not really thought about losing Bertrand in the summer. At the start of this season, on my geeky Saints excel file, I'd penned in that we would likely lose Wanyama & Mane. Seems to be enough steam building up that Pelle is likely too... We don't want to be losing any-more than that, surely.

Is this basically confirmation that the club agree with Ronald's assessment?

DUO IN FOR BYRAM Sky sources understand West Ham have matched Everton's offer for Leeds United defender Sam Byram and it's now down to the player himself to decide where he goes. Everton remain hopeful of concluding a deal for the 22-year-old, who did feature in Leeds' squad on Saturday but did train today.

Doh, you remember correctly. Wasn't there a change of agent or something similar? Was that before Guan congratulated him on being promoted to "super ITK" though?!

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?
