Connor Wickham on his way to discuss personal terms with Palace. £9m fee agreed, apparently.

Probably being saved for Espanyol. It's seriously exciting to have him to come back into our attack isn't it?

I miss the days where we got pics of the Directors box to look at on here.

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Ronald Koeman says Emmanuel Mayuka has no future at #SaintsFC & has suggested Gaston Ramirez's future is far from certain. Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Koeman: "We have enough strikers & for Mayuka there is no future in the club. There is some contact with Les Reed about him" #SaintsFC

He's still getting linked with Bologna

Maybe the written press got some news snippets for later.

Cheers for sharing. Totally agree about the loan moves being good for them. With Caulker arriving and perhaps another to follow, I wouldn't be surprised to see Turnball and/or Stephens going out to the championship. Could do a lot worse than going to the MK Dons as well.

I like him, good player - But think now Norwich are back in the prem it's a bit of a non-starter.

Not sure we'll sign a winger - Let alone 2. Another DC + DMC for me, please.

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.
