Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport #saintsfc @RonaldKoeman: "I still want two or three more players - we need competition for places".

If we can get VvD & another MC, we will be sorted.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC Koeman adds he is looking for a couple more players to have real competition in the squad. "We are working on it," he says. #saintsfc

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC CONFIRMED: #SaintsFC sign defender Steven Caulker on a season-long loan deal from @QPRFC.

This is very true. Simon Peach's article mentions an option for permanent move with an £8m fee mentioned. Decent fee if he turns out to be a success.

Any other snippets K.Billy?

The fact he was good as Swansea gives me confidence about him. Nearly everyone looked sh*t at QPR & Cardiff respectively. Very curious to know if we'd still want VvD after this though. Good news

MLG is literally on fire on this thread!

Great move for him. I am ITK

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach I am told #QPR defender Steven Caulker could join #SaintsFC on loan. Will ask Koeman for details at the press conference.

Enjoyed that. Agree on the Erwin Koeman part - Thought he spoke very well.

Adebayor to have medical tomorrow before completing move to Aston Villa.

Here's hoping Guan or K.Billy turn up with some snippets just to keep this thread on f*cking topic.

They were my 1st pick for him (see post #2 ) Play some good stuff & I like Karl Robinson. Ben Reeves has done really well down there by all accounts.

Caulker makes sense as the 'Gardos replacement' as he's a bit of a unit & he's nowhere near the Lovren/Toby league. I don't see Caulker moving to be 4th choice centre-back though.

SEVILLA OFFER FOR PRAET ‘ridiculous’ Anderlecht president Roger Vanden Stock has described Sevilla’s offer for Belgium playmaker Dennis Praet as “ridiculous”. Sevilla, according to reports in Spain, have tabled a bid of around €6m for the 21-year-old, who won Belgium’s Golden Shoe award earlier this year. Vanden Stock says the youngster, who has been linked with Everton, is ready to try his luck elsewhere but says Sevilla will have to up their offer if they want to land the midfielder. He told Het Nieuwsblad: “What Sevilla offer for the best Belgian player is ridiculous. We want a fair price. Dennis Praet wants to go. The best thing for Praet is to stay for one more year.”

@reluctantnicko: BLACKBURN ROVERS. Can't join the Sam Gallagher race. Southampton want a loan fee. These FFP rules are a joke.

Rumoured, but I don't believe it was true.

Interesting that the normally prudent Jeremy Peace is spending £8m on him. They clearly aren't the only club who think he's worth the money.
