Saint-Armstrong

Official Statement from Mainz - in English: http://www.mainz05.de/mainz05/en/aktuell/news/news-detail/article/djuricic-wechselt-zum-fc-southampton.html

Filip Đuričić's loan to Saints has been announced by Mainz:

French media outlet Le10Sport maintain their belief that Schneiderlin will sign for Arsenal tonight for a fee of £25m. I find that hard to believe.

Vilhena deal has fallen through. Saints set to sign Djuricic still.

Simon Peach has just tweeted that Sam Gallagher makes his return from injury tonight for the U21s.

Can be amusing to see which reporter can say that there is no news in the most waffly way possible.

Ha, amen... I'm taking solace from the fact that I'm to be on 'Saints watch' for a couple of websites/feeds and after we sign Filip, that will be that. At least we don't get the stupid fans. Unfortunately, I imagine Jim White will be about... *sigh*

There's talk that Redknapp and Hughes are going head-to-head for Adebayor on loan, that could be quite amusing if he chooses to go and play for Hughes...

Koeman confirms we will sign one player tomorrow... I wonder who.

Ronald has said we will be appealing... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31077713

Nope, thought it was a red card. Born out of frustration and his reaction said it all. Silly.

I'd like to see Saints return to 3-5-2: Forster; Fonte, Alderweireld, Yoshida; Clyne, S. Davis, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Elia; Pellè, Mané.

Sigh... ...big, big slip up. Very disappointing given the dominance we had in that game. Red card and a three match ban for Bertrand too - awful.

Great half, good football being played - but now, in the wise words of Jeremy Kyle: "PUT SOMETHING ON THE END OF IT!"

It wasn't Osvaldo sat next to Cork, it was Gazzaniga.

Eljero having a really good display - working hard, too.

Crikey, I'm nervous.

Yeah, I thought he would be - had seen some speculating online whether he wouldn't be.

If anyone was wondering, Cork is at SMS today.

SAINTS: Forster; Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Reed, S. Davis; Tadić, Pellè, Elia. BENCH: K. Davis, Gardos, Targett, Gape, Mané, Seager.

Jamie Carragher: "They're a very good team in the league, not just little old Southampton anymore."
