Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore This would certainly break the transfer record !! #SaintsFc

£3m is an absolute bargain despite he only has 6 months to run on his contract. If we can bring in Sulemana too then its all to play for!

Sulamana on the bench for Rennes at Lorient this evening. Feels like this one could go to the final day

It looks like they're a couple of days behind. Tanswell reporting previous offers rejected. Not complete, but 'it can be done'

20million euro bid for Sulemana rejected according to Sky Sports

If it were lyanco being sent off and Murphy waving at him he'd be looking at a lengthy ban for drop kicking the rat

Diallo is so shit

Three of our next five league fixtures are against teams around us and a fourth at Brentford where points are achievable. There is a three point gap from 20th to 14th place so to say we're pretty much relegated is nonsense! Bringing in somebody with some confidence up front is essential to us being competitive in those fixtures, but to write us off is laughable until the window is shut and we know the state of play for the rest of the season. We also have the added benefit that our next league fixture isn't until after the window closes.

If Ings is available it's a no brainer and he'll likely be cheaper than an untried entity from Europe or the Championship. He was the main reason we were so successful during project restart and was the instigator of our successful pressing which by the looks of things is what NJ is trying to integrate into the squad. Yes he is 30 and his injury record is poor but if he keeps us up this season it's a cheap price to pay for retaining our premier league status.

Get the fuck in!!!!

Get in!!!!!!

Absolutely agree but am fearful or Nathan Jones credentials to streer us clear of relegation given we're bottom of the table and don't seem to have a clear tactic of how we're approaching games, especially against relegation rivals. We will wait to see what SR pay in transfer fees in January but what is clear to me is our current squad is suited to 4-3-3 and Ely should be no where near the starting 11 as proved today.

We're still utter shit then. AMN should be sent back in January, useless

What the fuck have they been doing the last two weeks. It's like a group of lads that have never met turning up hungover to make an 11 against a pub side

Is Ely noshing off ralph behind the scenes?

Edozie and stu on for a terrible Ely and not quite as bad djenepo. Would like sali dropped and ABK and DCC given a run of games.

Yes, Adam Blackmore 😆

So potentially Redmond and Walcott leaving. Granted they haven't been near the first team of late but it surely suggests we are looking at bringing in another forward before the deadline

In MLG's defense, this has actually become an insane saga! Adam and Fabrizio both with differing opinions on Gakpo's destination

I wonder if this is an alternative to Gakpo or in addition?

Adrian Kajumba @AdrianJKajumba · 23s Southampton hopeful of signing winger Samuel Edozie from Manchester City before deadline tomorrow. Deal not yet agreed but close. @MailSport #saintsfc #mcfc

I read they're after Peter Andre too. That be an insania signing!

My only concern in all this is it now opens the door for MLG's return to the forum to start the Gakpo Saga thread

We still don't know what Sport Rebublics ceiling is. For a marquee signing maybe they're prepared to stretch in the £30m+ category.

Chief reporter for the athletic isn't he? He must be doing something right.
