Tickets arrived today ? see you all at the Compton Arms. ?

This. I see no credible reason why he hasn't been offered a new contract particularly after the praise he received from Koeman this week. If Koeman had any doubts when he arrived, surely those doubts would have been removed by now with Jack's attitude and performances since.

This. If Man Utd had of done that we'd be hearing about it for weeks in Talksport. As it was Saints, it won't even get a mention.

Newcastle were ****e. Never seen such a disinterested excuse for a team in all my days. Having said that, I thought Saints were superb. Pelle is really starting to get to grips with the league and although Forster had very little to do, he was always ready and made a couple of good saves to stop him getting bored. Great work today. Big challenge next though as Swansea are doing well. Looking forward to smashing mad Harrys bunch the week after too.

Just fill him up with sugery sweets and coke, sit back and watch the chaos unfold. Ps please don't do this in the Chapel Stand

Congratulations Pastor. You've sunk to a new low with this comment. Have you ever thought that maybe Billy Sharp, given what he's been through has probably donated his own cash? To be honest, I'd rather be me, with my meagre earnings than be an average earning footballer whose child died at just two days old. Get some perspective in your life Pastor FFS.

This There should be daily updates on SSN showing his progress and which ground he's reached. There's interest there for fans of all premier league clubs but they don't appear to have covered this at all.

I'm going for Toby. Hopefully he'll be as good as the reputation that he came with.

Doesn't matter what the odds are as it's not going to happen so you've thrown your cash away I'm afraid.

Excellent work by the Manager and the Board ... can't wait to see the new signings ... should be a really exciting season.

****ing brilliant ... bring on Newcastle

CONFIRMED: #SaintsFC beat the clock to complete a #deadlineday move for Sadio Mané from @RedBullSalzburg. #SaintSadio

The yellow dresses did it for me hours ago

Wise words ... sack the Board

Even better news: Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 24s #SaintsFC have the option to make @AlderweireldTob's deal permanent for €8million (£6.3m)

Peachy is doing a good job on Twitter too: Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 12s .@SchneiderlinMo4 & @JayRodriguez9 remain #SaintsFC players. Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach 1m #SaintsFC have signed @AlderweireldTob on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal. Quite the acquisition.

Agreed

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 46s You didn’t think #deadlineday was over for #SaintsFC, did you?

Could be Redmond! Where's Dalek when you need him?

Spotted this in the Metro earlier so not entirely reliable but might help calm nerves about Alderweireld at least. Southampton have completed a one-year loan deal for Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld, while they continue to work on getting a move for Sadio Mane over the line. The Saints have had an active transfer deadline day as boss Ronald Koeman looks to bolster his squad before the 11pm cut-off. With less than an hour to go, the club have wrapped up the loan signing of Belgium defender Alderweireld, despite widespread interest from across Europe. And club officials continue to work on completing a deal for forward Mane, who has also been targeted by Tottenham this summer. A fee of around £11.8m is believed to have been agreed between the Saints at Red Bull Salzburg. Meanwhile, Gaston Ramirez is set to depart St Mary’s, joining Hull City on a season-long loan.

Bit early for that I think. No-one has said the deals have fallen through (yet) so I'll reserve judgement on that for now.

I hope Gaston hasn't got the key.

Yes, I started 20 minutes ago.

Happy birthday.

Just what I was thinking. Hopefully the start of two (or three ) further announcements.
