If it's De Bruyne I will walk around Southsea for the day in a Saints shirt. He's one of the top talents in Europe and will cost upwards of £9m. Barca, Real, Chelsea, Bayern have all registered an interest in the past!

Celtic, and especially Lennon, have played this transfer interest completely wrong. Everything points to us having serious interest and Celtic playing their hand and letting us negotiate. That's how I see it. Then you have Lennon disconnected from it all making stupid desperate comments because he knows we're serious.

You sound like you managed to get pretty close to most of the team today!

He didn't play for Bristol City today, and their fans aren't sure why.

He did alright, kept the ball well and used it well - but he came on when we were coasting it. I'm not sure he's who we can call upon when we need something special to win a match in the final 10.

Yeah thought it looked like Cramp actually, with how he went down and how he was trying to stretch out. I'd imagine he hasn't had much full training this week what with his injury.

Great finish.

what's the twitter link for this agent?

It's coming together Alps. Just a bit of patience..

Sharp has today admitted he wants to stay at Donny for the time being.....seems like not much will tempt him away!

No chance will it be the end of Conolly he is a class above.

Amazingly it sounds like this has some serious legs. Didn't expect this to come to fruition in January at all! Thought it was more of a hopeful bit of interest if anything, but it looks like Celtic have seriously played their hand and named a price.

It was a sweet strike, but the GK should have really done better tbf. Not taking anything away from him though! Good to see him take a gamble and hit it.

I'd sit down for a bit if i was you - sounds like you're drunk, but then i've just realised you're quoting morgan so Ingnore me and i'll sneak out the side door.

But the way Nige was talking it sounded like the player we'll get next week is all but done, 80% ish.

If he's on schedule then he's got an outside chance according to his tweets over xmas.

Here's hoping......he will cost a fair whack though.

That was my take on it, Hooper was being talked about as 'another' interest from what I could hear. We can't be that close to doing a deal for Hooper to have it done for next week anyway, so it's another player IMO

Wow this is early.... Will be interesting to see what state Leicester are in, as they have a tough game before they play us in the FA Cup replay. I'd imagine they'll rest a few for that. We'll have a couple of new faces and according to Nigel more players back from injury, so we'll be looking pretty healthy by next monday!

from what I saw it's a toss up between 3... Morgan, Cork and Connolly. I'll give it to Cork because he dictated the midfield in an attacking sense and opened it up for us to get the first.

I think sometimes fans can be so blinkered that any criticism, even if justified, is met with complete disagreement. ''You can never say anything bad, even if we lost 3-0 we did a good job etc".

He said we have Lee joining and he's very excited about that, and also another signing is very close and will be done next week. And obviously that isn't hooper.

I think the third player we're after is an attacking wide-right player, who can also do a job up front if required.

and that! I love our fans sometimes.

Text on solent - ''Sam Vokes and Lukas are saints fans and exactly the type of players we need'' really....really?...If they weren't saints fans would you even be that bothered about them? Didn't think so.
