Hopefully it is a load of idle speculation. The media loves transfer windows and like to stoke up interest by throwing as much speculation out there as possible.

Okay, it just seems very odd when Koeman has stated firmly that he is going nowhere. We'll see I guess.

How do you know?

Koeman said he was part of his plans. Daily Mail not best place for facts. Not sure about insurance issues when signing players with serious injuries. I'll believe it if and when it happens.

Not just that but players often get other injuries as they have been out of action a while.

Thats rich coming from one of the most insensitive posters on here!

Everything is relative. If we get better service from Long than we did from Osvaldo (which wont be difficult) the you could argue that it has been money well spent.Transfer fees and footballers wages seem to operate in their own universe but I do wonder if the fees quoted ever actually get paid. Given the money we got for Shaw and Chambers I am not going to lose any sleep over what we paid fo Long.

So, can we agree that the club is not a joke. That the Board have found an excellent replacement for the previous manager based on what we have seen so far, that we probably wont be relegated this year, that the so called "fire sale" wasnt anything of the sort and that the players who have come in aren't rubbish (so far)?

And with plenty of competition in that department as his brother is no oil painting.

Bloody hell, we win a game of football and are at each others throats! Lets just enjoy the win and look forward to the next match when it will all start again.

We????? What do you plan to do? Hold Kat hostage and only let her go at the end of the season if the Board "support" the man they emplyed to run the club in the first place???

Just as we weren't relegation fodder after the WBA match we arent world beaters after the WHU match. What we aren't though is what many people wanted to believe and that is nailed on for the drop. Anywhere mid table will do for me after the summer we have had.

I thought the club said that there had been no offers for Cork so far? And why would Pullis walk over transfers if he had just put in a £3m bid for Cork?

Whitey, I have eggs and bacon for breakfast. Clearly in the wrong club!!!

Yeah, they snuck into the wrong sets on Google but I couldnt be bothered take then out!

Sweet Jesus. What frickin planet are you from mate???

He certainly has more resources at his disposal, but then so did Moyes and we all know how well that worked.

If RK wasnt happy with his attitude in training this is the best outcome for all. It is not as if we are struggling for midfield players so I dont see what all the drama is about.

His loss, not ours.

WTF?

For all the grief that has been levelled at the Board, for me it was apparent that they meant business when they hired this guy. He is the real deal. We may not win the Champions League under him but we have a safe pair of hands and a guy who isnt going to take any cr@p. The way he has dealt with Morgan and Boruc is spot on as it is with Taider. He hasnt been fazed by the goings on this summer and is straight forward and honest in his dealings with the press. I am not a lover of Twitter but his Tweats say what you want to hear from someone who wants the fans to know that he is on their wavelength. Yes, early doors but from what I have seen so far this is the best Saints signing for some time.

It is far too early to say who will be the biggest success in the Premiership but as a manage and human being I am more than happy with our guy.

It is way to early to give Pelle hero status but it was even more crazy writing him off after a couple of games. The signs look good but it is a long hard season. One thing I am sure of though - Ronald K knows his football.

So pleased for Ronald Koeman and Pelle. Delighted too for Reed and the Board. That is the way to deal with all of the snide comments and criticism. SFC still mean business. And a big mention for Morgan. That is the way to say sorry!!!

Trouble is Motson doesnt count because he spends his career watching football and not sitting behind a PC.
