Saint Fan CaM

Yes, unfortunately I would have to say this ^

Brilliant post and a great read. Proud to be a Saint. Differentiates us from the phew down the road by miles. Now where's Turkish to make a sarcastic comment?

Gaston is a class player, but perhaps he simply just has not settle here for some reason (too many idiots on his back?) and just perhaps he's asked to be sold if the opportunity comes along? Perhaps if the Banega deal happens, that would be his 'release clause'? Shame is so - I will always remember him as our first real class signing on the way back up thru' the leagues.

If true, this would be a fantastic signing for Saints. It's almost certainly not going to happen though. Unfortunately.

So, in summary who have we signed so far? A CB and...err....

This - completely.

He's as good if not better than Fonte and Jos IMO. He improved over the course of the season too.

Don't want him - would prefer Banega hands-down.

Ah, I see...it was a misquote from a recorded interview. Understood.

Explain this then Pedant-Man... "I want all of my players to play a big role within this club but unfortunately that's not possible, so all of them will have to earn their position. I wish the best for Maya and the rest of my players," said Pochettino. So - I didn't state MP said "out of favour" - that was my expression - get it?

Key thing for me was that I didn't think it would be Maya that was at risk...Fonte, Jos or Forren more likely.

Looks almost identical apart from the badges - so what? I've not seen them up close together, but I bet the shade of red business is not noticeable. The template shirt in itself, is not a bad sports top to be fair. Looks good on me anyway. lol

Looks like Yoshi might be the one giving way to our new defender? http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/130705/yoshida-warned-over-southampton-future-201046

Well I've just taken delivery of a £17.99 version of our top - i.e. no Saints logo, no sponsor. It's actually not too bad - better quality than last seasons abomination, but then I have saved an awful lot of money this time round. Pity the club have not seen a penny of my money, but then they should have considered their supporters a bit more and not chosen such a cheap design.

This appears to be much more likely than some of the dreamed up fantasies of some posters on here. lol

Lock.

This to my mind would be a dream window to get those lads.

Don't want the snooty fooker - would much prefer Banega actually if there was a choice, so hopefully NC will kick this joker into touch and do the right thing.

Would be a huge signing...aka...not going to happen. Surely?

That strip in red and white (black shorts) would have been fantastic for us. Oh well.

Signs are that the market is slow - we'll not be hearing anything definite for a couple of weeks I suspect, but I'm not expecting very high value signings (i.e. above £8m).

Yesterday order the £17.99 version on-line...will be with me in 3 days. A colour iron-on emblem - i.e. a proper Saints one - will be added at little cost possibly. Spent much less and don't have a sponsor name - fantastic. Mugs for spending £45-£50.

Never heard of him - but anyway, Twit's are not exactly the most reliable of sources.

Would be a great signing...step up from Lallana/Puncheon I believe.

It seems obvious to the realists on here that this is one player we can dream of getting, but will never see in a Saints shirt. Too big a target too soon.
