S-Clarke

Was always just talk, good talk, but talk. I'm never sucked in by people like him, slimy, fan on the board, have a pint with me in the pub types. Actions were what we were waiting for. Looks like we have our 2nd action of the summer, and a 2nd fail for the new board.

It's ok, we want Oscar Garcia. We'll rejuvenate our interest in Mackail-Smith.

That will clearly happen now.

I can see the wood from the tree's, and all the board are feeding us is waffle. Look what they're doing....it will all become clear in 6-8 weeks. Please don't be sucked in by what he says. He's good at talking and getting fans on side, that's why he's in that position. Then the people behind him can do all the stuff he doesn't mention.

''We are Southampton, we're not off to Brazil.''

I tell you what, Twitter has made the transfer window an absolute bull ache. It's like walking through wades of treacle every hour.

It was there, but has been deleted.

They are calm and doing it all in the best interests of Southampton saints, or something.

lol. are the media really this dumb? and if I'm honest, a max of £31m for those 3 would be an utter joke of a deal!

Alps, you do yourself no favours at all. Utter moronic comments as per usual. We're fans, it's the club we support. Not the players, not the manager, not the board. The club. That will be there next year.

Replacing Suarez with Lambert would be a truly WTF moment in football.

hmmm

It would be bizarre, doesn't even fit the way they play. They have a young lad they're bringing through, can't exactly remember his name right now....but they also have Sturridge, Suarez, Aspas, Alberto...Sterling can play through the middle too. Based on the speed Brendon got rid of Carroll, I don't think he's after that sort of striker. esp. not for 9 flaming million.

Excited for the future.

Then that would be silly. Surely we'd be a more attractive sale as a club with our best players here? Would be a dim-wit business move.

Someone changed their twitter alias to a well known reporter, tweeted a rumour that Lambert was going, and it was re-tweeted by journos and kind of took off from there. I'm stunned Sky have picked it up though, still kind of feel they've had their pants pulled down....but why are other reporters now confirming it....not sure they'd all be taken for a ride!

How do YOU know that he was offered a very similar PACKAGE? You DON'T. Unless you are part of the negotiations. So yes, you are JUMPING to very LARGE conclusions.

Wonder who I can get on the back of my shirt? Might just have ''GO SAINTS'' or ''TEAM SAINTS'' or ''TOUCHDOWN'' just to embrace the new set-up.

It's OK, we need to make this sales as we had a log-jam of strikers. Or something. This summer has got a scary deja-vu feeling to it.

I'm ITK on this, to a degree. But Arsenal are after Chambers strongly.

But why is this happening, we were in such a strong position, but are literally in the midst of throwing it all away. We must be financially screwed, it's the only reason we're literally entertaining any interest.

It was just more fan-friendly PR guff. Nothing to see there.

The new manager will need to bring 11 new players with him at this rate.

Liverpool ITK believe that Harry Reed is also on his way to them. Just got back from a round of golf with Harrison Reed's dad. He's heard it's on for £7.5m and that his and Lallana's deals will be wrapped up sooner rather than later. It will be around £25m for the pair which is fair value in my eyes and helps Southampton dodge a bit of the money they owe Bournemouth for Adam's sale. The deal for Reed will not be complete until he is back from England under 19s duty. £3m plus heavy incentives based on appearances, trophies and international caps (which he will get)
