Saint-Armstrong

The Adidas Tango!

Pretty much everyone, here and beyond, seems amazed we've got him so cheap...

Classy little tribute from Clasie's former club -

That's a bloody good sight.

*camera shutters*

Intake of breath, people...

Goal video: Go Sadio, go!

Mané also played.

Correct, there was. Stekelenburg, Fonte, Wanyama, Rodriguez and Pellè all played.

He definitely landed in London at around 13:00, I don't know why he'd head south unless he's flying out from Southampton, or catching a ferry. Unless he just wants to see the facilities and Les and co are down there, anyway.

From what it sounds like is happening, he'll sign his stuff and head off back home tonight. Flew into Heathrow, did his medical in London - in the meantime, Les sorted the paperwork with Feyenoord. His wife's due to give birth any day now, so he can go back to Holland and link up with the Saints squad when they head out there - Friday? - I suppose.

Looks like we're heading for the return of the evening announcement...

No.

It's apparently a five-year deal for Clasie, and he's in London having a medical.

Fair point. I was just trying to quickly illustrate that Cortese's ambitions were perhaps, to say the least, beyond our reach without a 'sugar daddy' investment plan.

Sadly I don't get to control photos. However, I can only apologise for missing $hlongs.

THEY'RE ALIVE!

Hello all, bit of a GWC-style plug here. This is something I was approached to write for the coming season, and the first one has just gone live in blog format on their website, so wanted to pop it up on here. It's talking about Les Reed's 'showcase club' comment, the club's business, off-field development and the long-term progress and ambitions of the club. http://www.shoot.co.uk/category/news/southampton-show-they-are-one-step-ahead-again/ Appreciate any feedback/discussions/suggestions.

Was asked to write something about this for a blog/column for Shoot! Magazine, which has just gone live on their website. http://www.shoot.co.uk/category/news/southampton-show-they-are-one-step-ahead-again/ Let me know what you think, if you get a chance to read...

Best part of that is him calling Havant and Waterlooville 'rivals'.

I eagerly await the arrival. They haven't legalised that hunting thing with the pack of dogs and men on horses yet, have they?
