Europeah Trophies - bloody hell someone is sweet talking Saints at the mo - love it !!

Spot on there DP - just look at Inter Milan - selling everything they can in almost a Pompey firesale. And players that leaves all say that Italian football are going down the drain since the money is gone.

Even now in Swedish papers - well thanks to me : ) http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/england/article15272043.ab

JustMIke - ITK and Moderator (perhaps) all in the same week - congrats mate ; )

Mods please make this one sticky : )

Graeme Bailey ‏@SkyGraemeBailey Sky Sports understands Southampton have agreed a club record deal for Gaston Ramirez. http://bit.ly/NtMWjo

Sky Sports News ‏@SkySportsNews SKY SOURCES: Bologna accept £11.8m bid from Southampton for midfielder Gaston Ramirez. #SSN

Still needs some defenders though.....

I google translated this article into Swedish and jeez what a read : ) He want´s to play and be the club star - sounds like this is really happening now....

Agent_ITK ‏@Agent_ITK #Liverpool have had an £18m offer for Gaston Ramirez accepted and he is arriving for a medical tomorrow. #LFC #Football

Here we go again: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/267479/Southampton-launch-new-bid-for-Dutch-defender-Alexander-Buttner/

Correct me if i´m wrong here - but seems to remember that a transfer fee don´t need to be upfront. If we give this bloke a 6 year contract then the tranfer fee can be payed over that time? Or was that in the past?

Norm should be a good moderator - I vote for Norm and JustMike to !

This is how it should be done - the no rumours is running around. louis saha ‏@louissaha08 I'm on my way to discuss with Sunderland

Shame that this Nixon bloke hasn´t been right once this summer regarding signings....

Perhaps hes having a trial today then since U21 play a closed door friendly today at Staplewood ; )

Give him a big fat signing on bonus - then wages is no problem.

Smokescreen - for what I don´t know since we seems to have stopped signing players a long time ago ; )

Behind closed doors friendly at Staplewood today at 2.30 against Brighton - any trialists present perhaps? Do you give trials when you are a PL team by the way?

And we are complaining of lack of signing : ) http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/squad/first-team.aspx

Well do we need another midfielder then as well?

This bloke predicts us last just because lack of signings....http://footballblog.co.uk/norwich-city-aston-villa-southampton-relegated-premier-league-predictions-201213.html

As usual all deals will done last day of the window at 16.55 - the 31/8 is a friday so I guess the deadline is 17.00 and not midnight?

We can´t sell players now - since it´s seems to take forever to get the replacements in - just look on the Harding situation.
