We will NEVER find out the truth in the matter so I think we can put this to bed now and focus on things that can actually happen.

Sure some players must leave soon - the squad is way to big. Wonder who will leave first ? MY money is on Saga leaving soon anyway.

To be honest - Murty probbably needs some games in the reservs first so the new bloke will go straight into the team this weekend I think.

Youre right - and since there is no news about this on our Mighty OS - I guess we haven´t heard the last in this story yet.

If Saints have treated him bad and this deal has been done poorly - why on earth would he sign for Saints now?

Thaks for the update MB - did it say why in the Echo ?

Not sure we played football here in Sweden to be honest....Well Sweden is only one part of Scandinavia but still. OK I used google and it seems we did - http://www.ifkgoteborg.se/portal/page?_pageid=113,61264&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

Isnt it time to close this one soon?

http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/tn/Sport.cfm?id=680&headline=Jose Good read I think.

Its to much to read in that link... So what part is it that can make this deal a no go ?

Close this one now please.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article6981621.ece Scroll down abit.

Palace plays home to Bristol tomorrow and If he is left out of the squad the he is probbably coming to Saints. So waiting time ahead I guess. If the game can be played offcourse?

God I hate Wiki .....

Same here in Sweden - I asked about him and they say that hes their best defender and they will hate to sell him. BUT they are skint and really really needs the money.

Give him a big fat signing bonus and he and his agent will be happy. quiet simple really : )

Well quick now - someone needs to chanhe his Wiki page.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Arfield

This link says he turned Saints down and are training in London today - im confused now... http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/sport/eagleeye/4841007.Fonte_turns_down_Southampton_move/

Only because The Echo is banned from St.Marys doesn´t mean that they can´t speak to AP or other staff really to get information.

According to the echo offcourse. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4840710.Fonte_in_line_for_St_Mary_s_move_/?ref=rss

Hi David -19 at the moment here i Fagersta and about 50cm of snow. Must say im tired of the winter at the moment... Sound like a good signing and that AP has worked with him before can´t be a bad thing.
