Can I make a polite request? Please can none of our fans turn up at Staplewood to stand outside the gates, waving their phones and arms in front of the camera because ''THEY'RE ON TV!1111''. It looks dumb. cheers.

4 loans in total, only 1 loan from a single PL club.

Benjamin Stambouli

That's a fair point. If we're chucking £12m at Townsend, then we could probably get him for the same sort of figure though.

Koeman also confirmed that he has not considered a move to sign Ajax goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer, who is expected to join Feyenoord. He added: "We didn’t think about Kenneth Vermeer. We have bought Fraser Forster, who is 26 years old and a fantastic goalkeeper, who is part of the England squad." The Dutchman also acknowledged that deals for Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar and Dynamo Kiev forward Jeremain Lens ‘didn’t succeed’, and that he opted against an approach for Queens Park Rangers new boy Leroy Fer due to the number of midfielders already at his disposal.

He's great. Always wanted us to go for him when he was at Basel. PL experience too, albeit not a great deal. Would be a top addition.

Didn't sky break the news last week about us making a 2nd bid ''according to sky sources'' ? and then quite oddly, later in the day, according to sky sources, we hadn't made a 2nd bid. For what it's worth, today will be awash with bull****. So I'm sure we'll still have an hour or so to endure whereby we start seeing increasing reports that Morgan or Jay are off, when in fact they aren't.

It's not though, really. Trying to ignore the fee, but can't on this one. £15m is a joke figure for him.

Diego Capel on a loan/for £5m or Townsend for 15m. Hmmm, let me think about that for a second. Ok, thought about it. Capel it is.

''Sky sources - Toby in talks with Southampton and having a medical' is Koeman a sky source these days?

Not keen to get wound up in the talk of Champions league football again, but I will say this. It stupidly raises expectations amongst the fan base, it's simply not an achievable target for us. I'm all for reach for the stars and all that, but this is Southampton we're talking about. We're not big enough or financially strong enough to initially make the push for it, and to secondly sustain it.

If he ends up as Spurs, you'd think one of their wide players will be off. Could be a domino effect transfer.

Strikes of a club with simply no strategy what so ever.

Can anyone shed any light on why the **** Man Utd have signed Falcao? Radamel Falcao has signed for Manchester United on a season-long loan. The Old Trafford club will pay a £12million loan fee and the Colombian is going to be on £200,000-per-week. Big statement of intent from Louis van Gaal. Falcao will land in Manchester at 4:50pm - what a story.

I think the target is to 'achieve/win' something within 3 years. That may be finishing 4th (since when is that a title!), an FA Cup a League cup.....not entirely sure our out and out target is top 4, we just want to achieve a title within 3 seasons.

All 3 are decent to be honest. I've always like Kacaniklic, had a decent spell with Fulham in the PL not so long ago. Direct, quick and an end product - think he's now a Swedish international too.

Good to see there is some ambition to make a go of it in the cups at least. I still believe we wasted our best chance last year though.

We could easily have the best deadline day here. Retain Morgan, Cork, Jay, Gaston - add one of Mane/Kacaniklic and Toby.... I'd be happy with that. More than I thought we'd have come 'September one' so credit will have to go to the club.

Toby preferred a loan move so he can weigh up his options next year. The only other loan we have is Bertrand, so not sure what you are getting at.

Twitter makes transfer deadline day unbearable. I'm going to set-up an account to state that I understand we have agreed a fee with Man Utd for Mata, who is seen as surplus to requirements with the addition of Di Maria.

Another pundit not fit for the title is Garth Crooks. Apparently we 'rode our luck'' against WHU, but 'eventually got the points'. Ok.

Toby, Kacaniklic Mane and the retention of our key players would be quite an emphatic 'september one'.

Replaces Yoshida. Cover for Clyne. CB's - Fonte / Toby / Gardos / Yoshida Jos to Burnley.

Toby Alderweireld will go on loan to Southampton for one season. Fee unknown. Koeman-brothers convinced Red Devil to sign

Fair play to the club for pulling this one off. Tons of interest, and the fact Koeman said it was unrealistic suggests we've steamed in as soon as the supposed option for him went dead. Koeman a big factor for sure. A loan is fine, he improves our squad for a year and improves our chances of having a decent season.
