After those rumours that Schelotto turned us down, Alfredo Pedulla says this is not true and he would gladly join though there is only a small chance we will move forwards with the deal.
A player from Swindon's academy tweeted that he has joined Southampton today, perhaps this is the player having a medical today as mentioned by K Billy?
Danny Ings missing Burnley's game the other night for a "knee injury" Sean Dyche managed to keep secret until after the match seems like too much of a coincidence now.

According to Alfredo Pedulla (Italian Journalist), Saints interest in Schelotto has cooled as we look at other options.
To be honest it depends who the priority CB target is. It seems Les was in Portugal yesterday trying to negotiate for Rojo (CB primarily for his club) and Guan and some media outlets suggest the club are very keen on Vlaar. Perhaps VVD is not as high on the club's list of preferred targets as press reports had suggested.

Looks like Les was out in Portugal yesterday, seems we have not given up on Rojo yet. Or at least we are not done making troll offers for him.
Indeed, a lot of what Lambert says is somewhat reminiscent of the vaguely positive, yet non committal guff Reed, Krueger and Pochettino himself used to spout prior to MP's departure.
To be honest, I can't see how a player like Hernandez fits into a 4-3-3, usually the CF in that formation is stronger and can hold up the play, not really Hernandez' game at all.
News about another player we have been linked with this summer, Jordy Clasie has asked to leave Feyenoord.
Not that it makes much difference to us if we are about to get Taider, I suppose.
