Keith Downie@SkySports_Keith Poyet on Leeds' Sam Byram: "I like him and I've known him for a long time. Like any young British player, they are sometimes too expensive."

I would say it's too late.... But would depend internally on what the J-Rod situation is.

Tom Carroll joins Swansea on loan from Spurs.

Gaston really is the master of picking up niggling injuries isn't he?

WBA Admin@WBAFCofficial Alan Irvine confirms Georgios Samaras is among group of players Albion are making enquiries about.

It's either a master stroke by Brendan Rodgers or will be disastrous.

Crikey, they are signing him?! - I thought it was a loan. I figured a loan would be slightly more sensible since Origi returns from loan next season & they could easily ship Mario back out if/when he kicks off.

Well this thread has gone to sh*t again.

Cheers for the info, Ed.

Echo reports Morgan won't be involved in a Townsend swap deal and that we have no interest in Gonzales. http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/11422941._/

I remember him being spot on regarding Gaston.

Yeah, steer well clear of Riise. I'm happy with Bertrand & Targett. Looking forward to see how they both progress this season.

It was interesting that Redmond seemingly Stoke's 1st choice over Victor Moses. I'm still uncomfortable being linked with a Spurs player when they want Morgan so badly.

Snodgrass could be out for 6 months for Hull with dislocated knee cap.

Our buddy Alvaro Gonzalez makes the SSN Transfer clockwatch this morning: Uruguay midfielder Alvaro Gonzalez continues to feature strongly on Southampton's transfer radar. The 29-year-old, who has been with Lazio for the last four seasons, has been strongly linked with Saints in the Italian press. So would he be our winger? Or does this virtually guarantee that Corky will be off?

Guess this might've applied to us as well? Stoke chairman explains what happened with Redmond bid: http://www1.skysports.com/transfer/news/11701/9430908/transfer-news-stoke-had-agreed-fees-for-nathan-redmond-and-oussama-assaidi

This! Also, SKY seemed to think he wanted to stay and fight for his place. It's not like he's angling to leave Spurs.

^ Exactly this MLG. You'd have thought this would've ended when Koeman said we won't be signing anymore centre-back's.

Simon Peach @SimonPeach All quiet on the transfer front at #SaintsFC today, although I've no doubt that the club are working hard to bring in a winger.

Apologies Big Bad Bob. You need to go get yourself a copy of Football Manager. "Central Midfielder" in old lingo.

No, Taider is an DMC/MC.

I think Long is the Pelle competition.

Damn, I knew someone would pick me up on that! - But I would've expected MLG to have done it Do you think the Redmond trail has gone cold?

If the Townsend link is true, it does make me somewhat wary with them interested in Morgan. Levy has shafted us more than once.
