Katalinic

We won't know if he is a good signing until he has played. I wouldn't bank on finding informed opinions on the forum either.

No, let's write him off before he has kicked a ball for us, that is the Southampton way.

Hicham Aboucherouane

Who?

He all but confirmed it, along the lines of he would add quality to the squad, must be close.

If this is true then the club could do worse than come out and tell us - most sensible minded people with a concept of commerciality would understand it - it is the silence that is deafening and fuelling the conspiracy theories.

It's football fans natural reaction to good players leaving their club - pretend they weren't actually that good really, even though they were.

Yep agree. And if it is for 7m, or 12m for that matter then it is a joke.

Umm.....good footage on youtube of him going mental when Feyenoord played Twente....

Exactly. How does anyone know who has or hasn't been lined up. So many "experts" on here who think they know the inner workings of everything and can do a better job than the board.

Me too - as an aside Ruddy is currently 28/1 to join us on skybet, worth a laying a few £'s just in case.

Could be joined by Ruddy from Norwich possibly.

I agree, I think we will go for Robertson. Looks class, albeit in the SPL. According to their message boards Dundee Utd are looking to sign a Czech left back which suggests Robertson is on his way.

Pelle and Osvaldo in the changing room could be interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDqbmf8Ixc

I think we are more a high class prostitute - at least we are being paid good money to be bent over and f***ed.

I admire your positivity but I recall Lowe saying something similar the last time we had a Dutch experiment. For me, the proof of the pudding will be in whether we bring in quality (international standard) replacements. If not we are simply going backwards.

Umm maybe its like with an r on it - like Peller.

I've heard a rumour that some of your players are being coveted by Bradford and Colchester - nothing you can do to hold on to them - at least the £30k fee can be re-invested in to paying for some penalty spots on the training pitch.

Erwin Mulder/Joop Hiele?

Exactly. Are people really that naïve ffs.

He has forgotten to give us his watch back.

I think its clear that the Shaw and Lallana deals were effectively done before the World Cup. With this in mind you would like to think that the club have the replacements lined up and they will be announced shortly after the departures are. The quality of this signings and the message it sends will be interesting - from what Guan has alluded to we may be in for a pleasant surprise. Let's hope so.

Excellent - good news and thanks Guan.
