I think it's rather Lescott who could be off, if that happens.

Seriously.

2 months. Clamps Buffon for saving a shot in training, or something.

Possibly, but this window hasn't changed that much. Of the players that left, none had an impact here. Zilch. Fox wasn't good enough, people cried when he was in the team. Barnard, Sharp, Lee, Martin haven't played a game for us in over 2 years. They offered NO value to the squad what so ever. Puncheon isn't here, so letting him go for good makes utterly no difference to us. Arguably, the only departure that makes some kind of impact is Osvaldo. But tell me, what impact did he have here other than punching people? He was ineffective and Lambert was preferred to him more often than not. The squad that got us off to the start is still here and is still playing regularly. Of the players we let go, none of them have had a meaningful contribute to our season - or even last 2 seasons. It doesn't make the squad weaker as they wouldn't have contributed anyway.

It's a let down because of the utterly pointless build up Sky give it.

Juventus fans are not happy with this signing at all.

They have to do that, just keeps people watching what is actually the most tedious day of TV in the world, ever.

Chelsea are doing it with Zouma, so i guess it's still allowed.

Lawro's Verdict Lawro on Luke Shaw: "Southampton left-back Luke Shaw is in demand but I don't see it being a problem for the Saints if he does get sold before the window shuts. "Even if he signs for Chelsea, Manchester United or whoever, then he will probably be loaned back to St Mary's until the end of the season. "If anything, that would be perfect for Shaw too because he will have his big move and it will be up to him when he is going to go."

No smoke without fire and all that, but there were stories linking him back to Italy during October - before any of this started. So I imagine his agent has been hawking him around for a bit.

SSN is already getting on my tits! Reporting on such non-transfers as breaking news, transfers that happen for every club in the background every day. Who cares that Swansea have signed a couple of 18 year olds from Scotland?? They really really milk it these days, trailers for it over the sky channels, new graphics, outside broadcasts etc. Pretty ott! I'd use to say it was strangely addictive, but it's not even that anymore.

Actually, don't think that's a legitimate twitter. Looks like a spoof account for him more than anything.

West Ham are in talks to sign Olympiakos striker Kostas Mitroglou. Fulham have already agreed a fee, believed to be £12.4 million

That Astori link simply won't go away.

@SimonPeach: Asked if Osvaldo could play for #SaintsFC again after such an incident, Poch said: "Your question answers itself, meaning no. It’s clear"

The reason he's not able to settle anywhere is because he is a twit. He's managed to become hated by fans of his previous clubs as well.

He doesn't know anything, don't give him the airtime.

And Vucinic...as he seems to be staying now.

We're not, but never mind.

No, we're not really lacking creativity. We're lacking a player to stick the chances in the back of the net. Having Lambert back, and getting Gallagher breaking through may help with that. But if we were to sign anyone, it would have to be a striker.

Point? He's a CM. We have Davis, JWP, Cork, Reed, Morgan, Wanyama......when exactly would we play him?

A big if. He'd need to avoid beating someone up for 6 months, quite a big ask to be honest.

He's possibly going to Fulham, not us. Talk Sport is the last place I'd look for any gossip to be honest!
