Pardew confirms an exciting transfer window ahead....
''We're going to get linked with a lot of new players so I'm not going to comment on them, I think it's unfair on the player and the clubs to dismiss or confirm anything, but we're just looking at a number of options that can take Southampton forward.
"We need to strengthen the squad. I'm not going to talk about specific areas but we have to do the right business to improve. We've come a long way in a short time, but we're still some way short of Leeds United in terms of quality and that's where we want to be.
"The fans want to see entertainment and hopefully our goals for record suggests that entertainment is there and we're trying to build quickly with a window coming up which means it's exciting times coming up, so hopefully we can build up the excitement levels further."''
