Sounds like it could be wrapped up soon then?

Forgot to post it but saw it the other day. Right at the foot of this article. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-transfers-carlton-cole-1529893

I wouldnt say no though. Has been outstanding for Watford so far this season. Should've scored more goals according to reports. At only 20, to have 14 championship goals at Xmas is no mean feat!

Lambert's link up play is so poor today. Can't seem to pass to another yellow shirt!

This is a pointless non story, why are the italians still speculating? As well known, you can only play for 2 clubs per season. tancredipalmeri: Southampton should receive Inter contact in next days to be offered a swap proposal between Ramirez and Alvarez, according to Sky Italy

Exactly who I was thinking of but Nixon has since said he has never seen this guy play himself so cant be anybody too well known but must be a biggish name if you get what I mean (e.g Ramirez, lots had heard of him but not many had seen him)

Surprised no one else has mentioned this yet so I'll go. Nixon been active on Twitter today/tonight. Says we are looking at a new CB target. He's not doing the story yet as it has to progress "a step further". Seems its very much an active transfer and wait and see tomorrow. reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Chasing a new centre half. So the other targets can't be working out. markreeves999: @reluctantnicko is that the Danish CB? reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 No. Another one. markreeves999: @reluctantnicko will you be giving me a name lol? reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Too early. But significance is u haven't got any of earlier targets. Zoggers87: @reluctantnicko @markreeves999 A decent one? UK based? reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 Foreign. Not doing story yet. Needs to go a step further. Zoggers87: @reluctantnicko Fair play. Saints style? i.e young with high potential? reluctantnicko: @Zoggers87 No. Bit emergency job. But no mug. ConnorArmstrong: @reluctantnicko Alan, when will we be able to learn the identity of the target?? reluctantnicko: @ConnorArmstrong If Saints make an offer tomorrow.

Napoli have today signed Pablo Armero on loan with an option to buy, a CB/LB. Seems they've decided not to pursue Astori. Just us & Milan left now by the look of it.

tancredipalmeri: Coutinho's agent to FcInterNews: "Aston Villa contacted us, they want him. But with all due respect to the offer, still nothing concrete"

It seems that when Astori was sold to Cagliari from AC Milan, they included a buy-back clause - €8-10m. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gianlucadimarzio.com%2Fcalciomercato%2Fmilan-ce-un-patto-col-cagliari-per-astori-i-dettagli%2F

So his wages will be about 5k per week and 45k extra for a clean sheet bonus if we keep one. Good business in my book as we never keep clean sheets! In all seriousness, I'd agree with you and expect the actual figure he receives is 5-10k or so less than the £55k ish reported.

I'm sure they did say something like that in the summer or whenever it was when the news of the £33m loan conversion came out. I'm sure i remember them saying that we spent well under the respective season budgets each year. I presume this will now be added to this budget and what's not used this window is placed on top of the next window budget etc etc

The end is in sight? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2258132/Southampton-set-sign-12m-Liverpool-target-Davide-Astori-Italy.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

We saw how that turned out at Palace in the cup last season! he was all over the place, like yesterday. Cork has to be back in midfield for the Villa game.

We same the same about Ramirez if I remember correctly...

Philippe Coutinho - Attacking Midfielder - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Coutinho http://m.fcinternews.it/?action=read&idnotizia=102626 http://www.football-italia.net/29122/premier-league-clubs-court-coutinho

Most probably something to do with the fact that we had no 'kop' due to the clever idea of giving Chelsea fans vitually the whole Northam Stand. Pathetic decision.

De Ridder on for Schneiderlin. Means JWP drops back alongside Davis making the midfield even weaker than it already was...

3-1 all attacks coming down the right hand side. Why aren't we playing Richardson? Better positioning wise than Cork. Get Corky in midfield alongside Morgan.

The line-up is definitely not below par though! ChelseaAnalysis: Chelsea line-up vs. Southampton: Turnbull - Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole - David Luiz, Ramires - Moses, Mata, Hazard - Ba. #CFC
