I've already nicked it

Beautiful wordage... brings a tear to my eye.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du%C5%A1an_Tadi%C4%87_(footballer) According to Wikipedia, he's a Saints player! . cancel that, I read it wrong

What? Gerrard? That's even more unlikely.

Really, I think Hernandez would be a great signing.

Here's something interesting... well I thought so anyway. http:// https://mobile.twitter.com/KRN092/status/483632889306054656/photo/1

kompany, Courtois, Chadli?

Just hoping really... It's been a bit dull today so hopeful that something will happen tomorrow.

Can't see it happening today.

Hopefully we'll have this all done and dusted tomorrow: http:// http://www.football-oranje.com/southampton-close-on-twente-midfielder/

LOL - Adam Clark touting for an interview via Twitter #desperate Adam Clark ‏@adamclarkitv 23m @Koeman1963 Hi Ronald - glad you are settling in at Southampton FC. Would you be available for interview this week about the coming season?

Come on... It's 09:12 and we haven't signed anyone yet!

He did tweet recently that he was looking forward to starting training on Tuesday so I assume at least some of them (I. E. Those not on WC duty and those that we have left) start preseason tomorrow.

Main reason for my disappointment is the way Lallana and Morgan in particular have decided to treat this club after all the years they've been here. Lambert is excluded from my disappointment as he's the only one, IMHO, that hasn't planned his exit. He was offered an opportunity that he couldn't refuse so fair enough. But the others, they knew what the other players plans were and they knew that if they left at the same time, then it would leave this club, the club that has nurtured them for years, in a very difficult position. But have they thought about deferring their exit until at least January, to allow us some continuity? Have they ****. Schneiderlein and Lallana have been here longest out of the leavers, both have won 'Fans player of the year' but could they give a stuff about whether they damage this club? Could they ****. That's the main reason for my disappointment.

I was of the impression that he was going to be announced on Monday.

And he's on about £60k per week.

Brilliant ... come on Ronnie get stuck in. Hopefully next week will see plenty of good news coming our way for a change.

Some skeleton: Boruc Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Targett Ramirez, Davis, Wanyama, Cork, JWP Osvaldo / JRod You also seem to have ignored the fact that new players will be joining, Kolodziejczak at left back, Tadic in midfield, a new CB and a couple of goalscorers and we have a very decent premier league team. It's certainly different to last year's, but certainly not the doom and gloom that you suggest.

Here's an excerpt from another independent article I've just read: "Positive Again I am a big fan of both Luke Shaw and Adam Lallana, but to be honest their*transfer*fees have been inflated because they are English players. Foreign players of the same standard would not cost the same fees. If Southampton were going to sell their players then it is good that they have received so much money for them. Southampton has a strong academy that seems to continually churn out players and that will probably keep doing so. The likes of Calum Chambers, James Ward-Prowse and Sam Gallagher were examples of young players from the Saints academy featuring for the Saints last season. This sounds strange, but Southampton could even emerge from this summer stronger than last season. They will have a boss who is hungry for success and players who want to play for the club. Who knows the sales of talented, but overpriced stars like Shaw and Lallana could be a positive for the Saints. Let’s hope so anyway."

And because Ronnie has been holed up in a nunnery for the past week and doesn't start work at St Marys until next week.

Looks good to me... I'm particularly hopeful that we'll sign Kolojackiwhatsit Also, Tadic looks like an exciting player and for me, Hernandez up front with Pelle would be superb.

Fair 'nuff
