Sky Sports News reporter Rob Dorsett has revealed that USA international Brek Shea has agreed a move to Stoke City from MLS side FC Dallas, but he still needs to complete a work permit to rubber-stamp his move to the Premier League.

One of our whispered former targets? The Sun writes that Alan Pardew’s French revolution at Newcastle is not finished yet, as an 11th-hour bid for Standard Liege midfielder William Vainqueur is lined up.

Agreed. Reeves possibly? Maybe Chaplow?

Will be a lot trickier than people think. I remember people saying we'd turn them over easily @ St Mary's.

Sky Sports sources understand that Stoke and QPR are in talks over the possible transfer of Peter Crouch.

Alex Goring Crook @ @alex_crook Looks like Danny Fox could be leaving #saintsfc b4 transfer deadline. Couple of championship clubs interested.

From SSN: Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho has arrived at Melwood ahead of his move to Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers confirmed yesterday that talks were ongoing between Liverpool and Inter Milan, but the deal looks to have taken a big step forward with Coutinho's appearance on Merseyside.

Oyston turned his phone off again?

On loan I'd imagine? Think the last player we actually sold was Dan Harding which seems like forever ago.

Paul Murray

Wasn't his contract discussed on here before he signed? Seem to recall it being around 20k p/w.

Loved him. Proper cult figure back during the dark days.

De Ridder is in front of him on the bench. Enough said. Shame, because I quite liked him.

I saw this in the paper on sunday, DD. Glad your brought this up.

Agreed. Shame we don't seem to be interested though.

From SSN Reading manager Brian McDermott has confirmed the club have made a bid for Blackpool winger Tom Ince. McDermott is hoping the lure of first-team football will be enough to persuade Ince, who has been linked with a return to Liverpool, to move to the Madejski Stadium.

Wasn't Clyne talking about getting into Europe with us when he signed?

If Cortese truly believes we're gonna do that with academy players, we are gonna go through a serious amount of managers...

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Vegard Forren also told me he believes @SouthamptonFC can be a top four club within three years. Lofty ambitions

What a cr*p move that was for him. (Finance aside).

Alex Goring Crook ‏@alex_crook Pochettino on Coutinho: 'I am not too disappointed or upset not to get him. I knew there was a small chance to sign him.' #saintsfc #lfc

Hope he doesn't say he's gonna look to the academy...

You'd have thought if Phillips was a 'committee' target, that we'd still have an interest in him.

Fair point I actually think Ince has got more end product than Zaha. 8 Million is still a lot of money for him. Bet he still ends up at Liverpool.
