I actually think there is a reasonable chance he might come back. The change in management might help the situation. Looking at our striking options I would have in back in a heartbeat..... Nutter or not

You've done it now...... Just wait for the endless side splitting quips as to who our next signing is going to be.

Alan Brazil ( This is second hand but should be easy to validate ) of the talk sport variety calims he saw Koeman in Brasil last week. Could explain the timings, but if true, I wonder if he spoke to Lallana or whether he was there for other players / media commitments

Very clever bearsy

Koeman is already a Saint Guess who he turned down............................ http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/4380699.stm

Schoolboy error

Its Koeman home it's Koeman home it's coming , football's Koeman home

Out of his coma - Great news http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27868787

I just hope that is not a last minute rallying call to any other clubs that might be interested in him.

Good luck Adam - You walk out on that pitch as a Saint. Do us and yourself proud

100% inaccurate

That's not true Lungs.

Became a bit of a super sub (And a hit with the ladies) I remember him scoring the winner against Liverpool from the bench. Always thought he would push on, but it never happened for him. I think he had links with Eastleigh and Aldershot as well.

Statement from the club that we have had a transfer request but we absolutely will not sell and will speak to Dejan when he comes home to explain why. Completely fook up his world cup, with no contact but continual repetition of the fact he wont be sold........ Don't do it with the other players (Lallana and shaw) And watch him explode

Dear Dejan, Thank you for your email. Given your comments, no more than two weeks ago, we assumed your email had been hacked, or you had mistaken the date for April the 1st. As these two conclusions appear to be incorrect, I can only express my disappointment. I will however refer you back to your own comments, where you explain that; "You are contracted to the club and any decisions regarding your future can only de decided by us". Wise words indeed. All players have been made aware that both incoming and out going transfers,cannot be sanctioned or completed until the new manager is in situ. You will also know from your own experience 11 months ago, that transfers (In and out) are not at the sole discretion of any one individual and are instead subject to approval from a select committee. Following your email a straw poll, suggested that all other committee members would reject your request, so even in the unlikely event that the new manager was in favour of allowing you a transfer, it would be vetoed. There was however a small caveat to this, where offers in excess of 40 million sterling would be considered favourably . Upon your return from the World cup, I would be happy to sit down with you and update your contract accordingly and indeed could even discuss enhanced terms in recognition of your performances last season. The 40 million buy out clause, should give you great comfort with regard to the esteem you are held at this club, by both the staff and the fans. The other good news, is that we all share your ambition to play Champions League football and together with our new additions this close season, we will continue to strive towards this goal. Best of luck for the World Cup and I look forward to catching up at Staplewood when you return. Kind Regards Uncle Lessy P.s xx

Apart from the fact the article states the email was sent on the 30th May - Why on earth do you think he would be dropped for sending an email? Some seriously strange thought process's on this forum/ Would he be allowed to email his wife? Would he be able to email his financial advisers? What if Woy had emailed the club and even phoned them urging them to sort out the Lallana transfer before the World Cup kicked off ;)..... Should the FA call him home or ban him to the stands

Actually they are. They very definitely are

Lovren has always been very respectful towards the club with regard to transfer rumours and if true, this is at odds with his comments...... I guess at Southampton we are used to that, but it won't have come from the club and unlikely that it would have been leaked by Cortese (Cant see that Lovren would be emailing, calling or staying in touch with him) so that leaves the player himself or his agent. Regardless of whether it is true or not, he's the one we need to make an example of and keep. I would go as far as saying he would be a greater loss to the team than; Lambert, Lallana or Shaw. I am a little more pragmatic than some on here, understanding that ultimately if a player wants to leave for a big bucks move, there isn't a great deal the club can actually do about it in the end............. BUT Lovren owes us more than one season and we couldn't replace him (Players rarely go from 7 million transfers to 25 million in less than 12 months). If Shaw goes for 30 and Lallana goes for 25, (Plus what we can get from Osvaldo & Ramierz (Don't want us to sell Gaston, but think we will) ) then I genuinely believe if spent correctly we can have a stronger starting 11 than this past season. Going out in a limb - I predict that we lose Shaw and Lallana, maybe even Morgan, but we will block any move for Lovren. He's 20 million quids worth of player, but other clubs wont pay that. Stay strong Les & Katrina

Remember being mocked by my PE teacher in the early 80's for having a training top spelt Brasil. Allowing him to indulge in his stupidity wasn't the best course of action - Detention for arrogance

He is certainly prone to doing a runner
