OMG How old are you Cyber Bully FRY? Maybe you are getting excited about school again tomorrow?

35m for a 19 y o kid is pathetic, I bet they had to ask for confirmation from Utd if it was 3.5m and not 35m.

I expect QPR will drop the 15m asking price as they become desperate, Austin would have to drop his own demands too if he wants out. Shame we wont offered 10m to see if we could get him, would be good for us.

Been watching sky sports news this morning and it's nothing like it used to be. They have reporters in the football stadiums now instead of outside training grounds. Loved those funny moments including one of a young lad from Southampton who was dancing on his own, anyone got the footage?

Not a chance as we are planning on having 3 CB's in some games. That leaves us with no cover at all. Last season we had 4 CB's in Alderwald, Yoshi, Fonte and the Gardos.

When we get desperate to get him off our wage bill we will do what we did last year, send a fax out to all the clubs saying we will pay 40% of his wages for the season if you want him on a years loan. I expect he will end up at a club who are still bank rolled by the premiership money from the last two seasons.

My question is this, Why has Koeman not used his links with Barca? Stoke have bought some cracking signings from them and West Ham have just got Song on loan for the season.

How many medicals does he have? I doubt he had one last week as rumoured on here.

Does anything think we are trying to bring a loan option in from abroad? would be nice to get a top player in for sure.

A big club? that rules out Spurs then!!!

If Koeman said that Mane and Wanyama are not going then this is sorted. Utd will leak stories to the press but us fans have got to ignore it.

Other than Virgil do you think we might get a loan signing in? Will the press spread the gossip that Mane and Wanyama are having medicals at Utd and Spurs? What club will Harrison Reed end up on loan? Will Spurs panic buy and get another player in, probably called 'Onme hed' to go alongside 'son?' Discuss and put all the gossip and deals in here.

When this team clicks together it can certainly show that it can reach the top 6. Reason being is the Man u's, Liverpool's and Spurs are more badly run these days.

For 20m there is better options, however Saints would be looking at 10m options because we make a profit for when they move on for a higher price. This is not a dig, just the business plan we have.

Get a top replacement like Bender or make Wanyama suffer and let it be a warning to others your contracted to play for Saints.

Not in the video by the club for the arrivals so far, showed at least 14 players arriving.

Ha ha, comedy at its best!!!

The only big player who could save our season is Messi

If Saints wanted Virgil badly they would of wrapped it up on Friday, my fears are we are penny pinching with Celtic and it will go down to the last day of the transfer market. The Virgil personal terms are probably already agreed. Not the way I would like to do a deal as someone else could quite easily hijack it.

Exactly, and it continues to grow like Stoneman would of. This Cyber Bully FRY seems to think he knows everything these days. I personally think the fella is losing it slowly with old age.

Correct, Too much spending money on squad players. Stuck with them now so we just have to knuckle down and pray they improve quickly. Me personally to save our short term problem I would indeed flog Long and bring in Austin, Play Caulker, Fonte and VIrgil as 3 CB's and make sure I would get a good covering left footer to give Bertrand more support for his overlaps when fit again. Then shove Mane in a number 10 free role to do what he wants while we play the ball to feet and stop pumping it to Pelle all the time. Regarding RB & RM - screwed!!! RB, One can't attack and one can't defend while your covering right midfielders are either lazy to track back, light weight or too slow. BIG PROBLEM - At least Townsend could solve half of it.

Seriously? Thank god you are not running our football club as you would turn us into a circus, tutt tutt.

They were written off before they even kicked a ball to be precise. IMHO Virgil has something different to offer us and I trust the black box (blah blah) on this one.

So many people mention that he switches off during the game, have any of you guys actually sat through a Scottish match yourself without dozing off?
