And the list I printed is obviously bull**** as the Football League have announced 6 anniversary fixtures to be played on the opening day and guess what, NONE of them tie in with the 'leak' http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22894378 Football League opening day fixtures Championship: Burnley v Bolton, Derby v Blackburn League One: Preston v Wolves, Sheffield United v Notts County League Two: Rochdale v Hartlepool, Newport v Accrington Still hope we do get Chelsea though!

Here's an apparent fixture leak. Has us down as CHELSEA AT HOME. Ties in with Cardiff v Spurs first game but can't see us having back to back home games?

I'm not doubting you but a gold badge on that kit would look absolute ****e. Really tacky.

alex_crook: Sounds like Verdu is off to Olympiacos, suggesting Banega is #saintsfc 's preferred option. Verdu's age will have counted against him w/ NC

alex_crook: @MatthewLeGod Lovren was £8.5m rising with add-ons, I expect MP to go for Verdu on a free. That leaves £14m for around 3 more signings Thought that one was dead?

It is for a player with only 1 years Championship experience under his belt. Eyebrows were raised last year when we splashed £7m on Jay Rod. £8m for a Championship player is big-ish money.

That's what I meant. Striker at an Italian club.

Going on St Louis' info, this is my final guess. I'd happily buy that. I like it

Hmm.... unnamed Premier League club spending big money on an Italian striker. May be nothing but... Anyone got a funny feeling? SkySportsNews: Sky sources: Udinese reject £8m bid from an unnamed Premier League club for Matej Vydra #SSN

Big big summer lined up @deark3009: @alex_crook Hi Alex,do you know how many players we would like to bring in? Cheers @alex_crook: @deark3009 i would expect 5-7 new arrivals

@danbsfc: @alex_crook Hi Alex, do you really think #SaintsFC could still be in for Hooper? Thought that interest went when Adkins went? @alex_crook: @danbsfc Adkins had little say in transfers. Most of the big signings were decided by transfer committee #SaintsFC SeemsHooper is very much a club target.

bbc1 @ 10:25.

No way?!? Really gonna happen? alex_crook: Think the reports in Spain saying #saintsfc have bid €9 euros for Banega are close to the mark

Think he wants to play in PL, would fit in with our other Japanese imports, and would be perfect financially and big on the marketing scale.

Honda has looked very good! 27, free agent, got to be worth a 5 yr contract. Top top player.

Just about to post the same piece. Interesting as it's the same journo who did the piece before the end of the season saying that 2 deals were close. Gonna take a guess and say this was one of them?

Just for the record, got the thoughts of Mr Nixon: "reluctantnicko: Good age, good size, good pedigree. Can't argue with that."

Look, don't put your job on the line for a little piece of news but we all appreciate any snippets you get. Keep it up!

That is another one K Billy got but I forgot to put in my last post! I remember it well! Simon Peach saying he wont be signing but K billy saying it about 3 hours before it happened then Peach changed his mind as well! EDIT: Just looked back and yes K billy posted it at 8:15 and was announced at 9pm that night

Of course. Put his rep on the line and looked dodgy at one point but came true in the end. Also credit to Fran as well for giving him correct info!

Lyon have confirmed the move on their site for €10m + €2m in add ons (if im reading it right?) http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.olweb.fr%2Ffr%2Farticle%2Fcommunique-de-presse-62862.html
