I'm guessing its 'Gazza-neega'

Sounds like we may get some information on this if Simon Peach gets the correct phone number...

Jason Puncheon. Was signed with this idea he'd be the RM version of Lallana who can score goals, score free kicks. trickery, bit of a coup etc but has done nothing like that and ended up being frozen out altogether due to his poor shooting, lack of goals, attitude etc until January 2012 and now seems to be back in favour over pre-season! Right old enigma!

IF we were to get Lens and Buttner, a GK and a CB is all we need IMO. And then we can look to ship out Dickson, Barnard, Forte, Forecast, Harding (?), Puncheon (?) etc

Suppose we best have one for the thread... the obligatory YouTube complilation!

On his Wiki page: Seems he has been converted to a winger and this would strengthen us out wide.

Sounds like we'd bring him in to play wide and challenge Guly on the right. Can also play in the hole so covers 2 or 3 positions. Would be a cracking signing by the sound of it. And finally, this is the 'exciting deal' that Graeme Bailey tweeted about weeks ago!

Done Deal! officialsaints: #SaintsFC are delighted to confirm the signing of England Under 21 defender Nathaniel Clyne. See http://t.co/uOy2bQWx for more shortly.

Spot. On.

Gotta be surely? He was a first team coach at Sanfreece Hiroshima - Chuns old club. Edit: Yep it is. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=tsuyoshi+takano&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&biw=1064&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=oiJlhv52WShh-M:&imgrefurl=http://www.whiterosesoccer.co.uk/MeetTheStaff.aspx&docid=1ubff9K_kPpK3M&imgurl=http://www.whiterosesoccer.co.uk/Staff/tsuyosi%252520takano.JPG&w=3264&h=2448&ei=Ly8HUOzZJoSU0QXZ_IXDDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=123&vpy=145&dur=249&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=154&ty=90&sig=104232692877723843737&page=1&tbnh=132&tbnw=184&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:73

Great interview! Loved the bit about the stadium expansion, and the 2 billionaire owners (?) but the bit that made me smile was the bit about him sat down with his family watching a DVD of the club from past to present (season ticket dvd?) and they had put his face etc in it! Brilliant way of enticing players to show them that these 'dreams' could become a reality! Nigel goes on about signing the right type of player and making them feel wanted and this shows exactly how they do it! You can see now why Clyne apparently turned down a top 4 club to come here!

He doenst need a blue tick. Some of our players don't have it. Plus Wilfried Zaha tweeted mentioning Clyne so surely he won't tweet it if it was a fake account? Plus....

Haha made me

Now beginning to retweet Saints fans welcoming him to the club. Great signing. Seems to be all done apart from OS confirmation!

Tom Coull is the camera operator. He's gone to France with the rest of them.

@solentsport: Seems that reports about Nathaniel Clyne completing his move to #Saintsfc are slightly premature. Deal not done yet. But will be. #cpfc

Breaking news on SSN just now!

According to Nixon the deal is close to being done. Can't see any hitches stopping it from happening.

Who Knows?

Can't see why not? Get him signed and flown out there to watch the lads tonight and start training tomorrow? Wouldn't be too much to ask surely?

A couple of updated articles today in Holland. Seems the deal may yet still go through. http://www.elfvoetbal.nl/nieuws/200563_aissati-en-buttner-reizen-niet-mee-naar-bulgarije?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+elfvoetbal-oranje+%28ElfVoetbal.nl+-+Oranje%29 http://optimaalfm.nl/index.php/id_pagina/26070/buttner-nog-niet-naar-southampton.html

@reluctantnicko: Clyne will get done. No probs wih wages. Fee close to being done. Saints have offered 2.5m. Decent sum.

1 season too late...

After saying the other day the fee had been agreed at £1.5m, the guy from the South London Press has changed his stance today.
