Sky reporter who weeks ago teased the club had an exciting deal all lined up, which he now says was in reference to Lens. Seems he may have been exaggerating back then to get some attention.

Ok so if Scott Dann is not good enough then who should we be looking at?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/scott-dann-is-southampton-target-with-35million-1154161 Trying to sign Scott Dann it seems.

Yep he looks like a good player, let's give up on trying to sign him.

The gulf in class was painfully clear there. Think Cork did pretty well when he come on though. Clearly wasn't asked to do too much going forward but he kept the ball well unlike some of his team mates. Butland looked good too, sign him up Nigel.

Not translated it or anything but I'm guessing he said the bid they rejected was 6m euros, which is about £4.6m

By demands, does he mean the amount of money they are legally entitled to as outlined in their contracts?

Hard to gather anything from these Google translations besides our bid being rejected. Ultimately though the Dutch league is a selling league these days with anyone who stands out moving on to Spain/England/Italy/Germany. If we give them the right offer, they'll accept it.

I'd like to see Shaw have a loan spell in the championship/l1 so he can have a run of games where he plays every week. Would do him more good than playing in the development squad or playing a couple of cup games.

Any idea when this will be officially announced?

If the dutch article is right though, the club has stated they don't want to sell... On the other hand the Eredivisie is a selling league these days, so if the club goes back with an appropriate offer you'd find it hard to believe they'd say no. PSV also signed a player who plays in the same positions Lens does the other day. Perhaps they may be a bit more open to offers now they have a replacement.

Where's Rodriguez?

Maiga allegedly has dodgy knees and failed a medical at Newcastle back in January.

So the agent is trying to interfere with the agreement between Saints and Vitesse?

How about we buy him and loan them Forecast for the season.

Never seen the guy play though his record is impressive and the odd article I read suggests he's really good. However, consider his attributes 25 years old Top scorer from midfield in La Liga Available for peanuts So why is it that lower PL sides like ourselves are showing interest and Swansea seemingly getting close to signing him? Surely a player like Michu, going off his record last season etc. should be interesting much bigger clubs. Not saying the guy is useless or even average, I just find it odd that he can't attract better attention that Swansea and, if it was ever true, Saints.

OP, can you get your friend to confirm/deny the rumour that Cortese sits in a booster seat when at the dinner table.

Link to the interview? I wish to carefully analyse his body language etc. If he looks down and to the left then it means he'll be a Chelsea player by August.

I prefer "mongboarding" when it's based around ridiculous topics or essay length rants that lack coherence... BTW where do you stand on the Cortese ponce debate?

Discussing whether Reading are offering or would offer Clyne more money is pointless as it's just some twitter rumour.

Forgot about those two. Of the possibilities, the majority of them would be top signings.

Nixon recently tweeted that this player he is on about is English. Ince Phillips Clyne Naughton Jarvis Zaha Curtis Davies Could be any of those

Alan Nixon reckons we have another deal set up that should go through in the next 24 hours, a double announcement tomorrow maybe?

Also doubt this is Dann he's on about, I recall in the past when people ask him about Dann he doesn't seem to think that highly of him.

28 years old CB, 11 apearances for Grenada last season.
