That's the silliest thing I've ever heard, you don't rotate the GK position.

It's not that bad tbh!

No quotes as such. Morgan Schneiderlin is available to play for Saints against Liverpool on Sunday after accepting he will remain with the club.

He really wouldn't.

Weird post mate, he's clearly not a league 1 keeper.

Our media team are class tbh.

I'm still playing FM13 and he's not on my game

Go on, give us the numbers.

The funds were there, they were able to agree fee's for Gylfi and Michu - but Pulis apparently didn't have enough say in getting the deal over the line, it was all handled by an internal transfer committe held together by that Moody bloke. That's where he's fallen over I think, he doesn't have enough responsibility to get players over the line and possibly feels that if he had more involvement he'd have been able to secure the likes of Gylfi/Mich etc.

Not quite sure where they've got it from, but I seem to remember that site being one of the leading sites on updates to the ill-fated Rojo deal. (dodged a massive bullet fwiw, Man Utd are now in Portgual trying to divert it from becoming a legal row! what a mess)

Yeah, I thought that was quite a poor thing for Koeman to flash out in the public domain. Would have been better off saying that ''we have 2 keepers here, both very good number 1 keepers, they will be vying for the spot''. He may well have known deep down who his number 1 was, but it was kind of poor management to throw such conclusive words into the public domain. But on the other hand, why are our players so precious? Did cortese train them in a course on how to become a primadona or something? Because they're all damn good at it. Why couldn't he react like Davis did when Boruc took his place? or react like Freidel did when Lloris finally secured the number 1 spot?

I think we possibly have our utility player on his way? http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/southampton-getting-closer-to-serie-a-transfer can play RM, RB, WB or CM. A friend to make Gaston feel at home too!

It has, if this was Brendan Rogers openly talking about Clyne or whatever, we'd be up in the air! Koeman seems to get a bit confused with this transfer malarkey, not sure if it's a translation kind of thing, but one moment he's saying that he doesn't talk about players which are at other clubs, and then the next second he's naming who he's interested in! Love the openness, but it's going to get us a bit of a rep. if he carries on!

What do you expect him to say? We'll win 3-0? Of course we'll lose for god sake, no need to be so precious about it!

On the eve of the season that is a catastrophic blow for them. Big fear for them now, he was the reason they stayed up! Their squad is pants.

I certainly wouldn't say this deal represents any sort of bargain

Sounds like he's not going to be available for 2/3 weeks.

Sounds like his head is already in bloody liverpool..!!

What exactly is a marquee signing anyway? Someone with a pretty name who has played at some big clubs?

Ignore the fee, take that away from it. We've signed a player who I feel is a perfect fit for us, in every way. He brings attributes we were lacking and he plays in a way which will compliment what we already have. I think he's a handful, very quick and will cause defenders a nightmare. He'll probably end up a fans favourite here.

What do you want, minute by minute updates? Our interest was first broke 48 hours ago, I'd suggest this is well on the natural course to being done.

He's a winger primarily, lots of pace, lots of skill and tricks. Saw him once as I have a friend who is a BHA fan, he's a moron too;) But a very talented player, bums on the edge of seats kind of player. Will be a very promising English addition. Better option and more potential than Redmond I feel. Don't expect him to be a regular this year, but he's got all the attributes to be a damn fine England player.

He's a real talent. Bags of skill and pace, exactly the sort of players I want us to be buying!

Welcome back Weston, always enjoyed your posts and insights about football...which is what this is all about at the end of the day! Glad to be heading back to the season where we can talk about tactics, shape....chances created etc. Not bloody money, finances and board issues!

Maybe, in essence, Tadier is the upgrade to Cork. Still a lot to prove though tbf, but he looks talented. Still would be a shame to lose a dependable PL player who is happy to stay here though, that's my main gripe.
