Saints confirm the permanent transfer of Dany Osvaldo to ISIS. Long may be keep his head.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 56s57 seconds ago OFFICIAL: We’re delighted to announce that @ryanbertrand3 has completed a permanent #deadlineday move to #SaintsFC.

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 30 minutes ago Hearing suggestions #SaintsFC may not be done. Ryan Bertrand's loan move from #CFC could become permanent I can;t understand us not trying to get Rickie in on a loan. He would increase our chances of success this season immensely

He does indeed look smug and can see him and Tadic being more of an out of game menace together. 12 million to buy if we wish to keep him. To keep all our loans we'll need another 90 million in the summer.

I've said it earlier, the problem lies in these poncy boots the players can't wait to play in. They're the reason we can't hit a cows a rse with a banjo. Should have been 4-0 up at half time.

Harry Redknapp must be licking his chops at the thought of having us for dinner next weekend. Dismal, utterly dismal. Why didn't we replace Tadic at half time. And as for Pelle, Gardos would have done a better job. Time after time Pelle passed to an opponent. What worries me is Koeman plans bringing more of the same before the window shuts. Should go for Fletcher now he's not going to West Ham.

I'm beginning to think Jack Cork read that Osvaldo was on his way back to Saints and decided to jump ship. If indeed he was to return I believe we'd have every member of the squad up for transfer. I can see this saga going on for another 10 years till Osvaldo finally retires.

Just remember that this is once again an indication of what happens to teams that qualify for Europe.

Corks lack of first team action has nothing to do with his abilities, but with his constant and repetitive injuries. He'd be in the England team but for getting injured at a vital time. So it is with Saints, he gets injured just when he's beginning to hold his place. Can't see anything changing at Swansea or elsewhere. Will be gutted to see him leave but his head is obviously screwed up and he doesn't see his best option.

It's fast moving in the direction of us getting rid of all our English players and replacing them by imports chosen by Koeman. I don't like it as I've never done when a manager brings in his own players leaving us open to disaster when they leave. There are some decent English players available but we don't seem interested.

One thing puzzles me is how Koeman hasn't used some of our Academy lads as pawns to bring in Dutch players whose clubs are reluctant to release them. Loaning them decent young players helps them and well as giving our players great experience.

If we are serious about a Champions League spot no need for penny pinching so I'm sure we'll be signing someone. Otherwise we're just being bull sh*ted to.

In the case of Jack Cork it is not a contract extension but a new contract. Koeman said a week ago in the Press Conference that he'd given Jack a week to sign his new contract or find another club.

What the f*ck do we have an Academy for, when Koeman intends filling the squad with 20 year old Dutch players. At the start of the season he told us he was bringing in experienced senior players to help our Academy players learn and develop.

" We can now concentrate on the league" I hear people say. Well maybe you've overlooked the fact so can the majority of the Top 10 teams knocked out too and who we're competing with.

We have a striker and goal scorer in Seager. Why the hell is he never played.

Koeman stating we won't be bringing in anyone before the summer has surely had the effect of taking the pressure of all the players. At times, like LVG he talks too much and it has adverse effects on our players. Need to get Reed on instead of Tadic.

If the radio stream continues BBC 94.9 http://www.surfmusik.de/radio/bbc-london-94-9-fm,4745.html

Bar a miracle of someone finding a link, we're stuck with BBC Solent and BBC 94.89. Doublt they'll stream the audio over the internet.

I convinced if Koeman doesn't get the 4 out of contract to renew their contracts and commit to the future, he won't think twice over new job offers. They have to sign and show that they believe in Koeman and the future of the club.

I've long thought Jack's future at the club is intertwined with that of Morgan, Bertrand and one or two others. I'm sure he'd sign sooner if Bertrand's loan was made a long term contract. If Koeman can't wait, why does he leave others waiting.

Surprised no one's never used Gaga's Bad Romance for a song. Simple, effective, and great with clapping. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Victor Wanyamaaaa!! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh! Victor Wanyamaaaa!! Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah! Wa na ya ma! Rah-ga-ooh-la-la! Wa na ya ma! Could be done with Mayuka although hope he's not going to be played often. [video=youtube;N7-a3vRFwyM]

Talksport have taken Bruce Springsteens "Born in the USA" refrain to advertise one of their programs. Short, very simple and effective. Fits well with the names of Morgan Schneiderlin and Toby Alderweireld
