WATERSIDEIFASAINT

Rumoured in mail tonight that we have accepted a bid of £3 million for Cork from Palace.Would be disappointed to lose Cork with all the changes we have had this summer especially if Morgan goes. Hope it just paper gossip

Just wondered if it is only me who is so disappointed fed up and disillusioned with Saints at the moment. Broken promise after broken promise i am so pi**ed off and angry with Saints at the moment. Total total letdown and Guan said judge after the 2 weeks and all that looks likely is a couple of loans. Pathetic rant over

Our board couldn't organise a pi** up in the brewery at present. Really unimpressed at what has so far been a shambolic summer for Saints

Elliott Ward said goodbye to his Coventry teammates then we signed Seabourne

why are we signings loads of loans potentially if we are not up for sale?(Bertrand,Taiser,Gnarby?)

Hope a couple of incoming twitter rumours are just that. Bertrand on loan from Chelsea and Leroy Fer. Liverpool fans seem to think Bertrand is coming to us!!

rupert lowe what a fu**ing knob. No future planning on the academy when we have been spending all that money on Staplewood and are renowned for having one of the best academies in Europe. The guy is a total deluded ***** and thank christ he has nothing to do with Saints anymore

If there is only 1 signing this week i will go fu cking ballistic and look to start protesting against the board(won't do any good but the board need to realise us fans are not going to put up with this c rap . They are pushing me to my absolute limits at the moment. very very pi ssed off

No i wouldn't at the moment as i have never been more pi**ed off with Saints than i currently am but hopefully in a few weeks with a decent amount of additions i will feel happier

A couple of my neutral mates sum it up. We get top dollar money on the sales and then offer peanuts for our targets. What a complete and utter joke we can't have our cake and eat it and expect to remain a premiership club. I got 7-1 odds on relegation. I'd get the bets on now before we are odds on favourite. Yes i am still very very angry with Saints

At the moment they have turned into a laughing stock and i dont believe a word they say. I am currently so so angry with the board. Would love to march on Read's office with other Saints fans and demand answers but it wouldn't make any difference and no doubt security would stop us speaking to him. We need to put pressure through social media on the local journalists to push for the truth from Read etc. Wish their was a drug i could take to get Saints out my system and not be so wound up and frustrated with what is currently going on!!

I cant trust a word that the Southampton board say at the moment. All we need now is for Koeman to resign stating broken promises and KL to say the clubs up for sale and then our summer really can be complete!!! Definately heading for a relegation battle at this rate although i did get my odds at 7-1 on Saints being relegated. I thought i'd go and waste £20 as i didn't really think Saints would be relegated now as every day passes i am not so sure. Still hope i have wasted £20

Hope Di Marzio is right on twitter says De Vrij to Saints next week. Get him and Van Dijk as cb and things will be looking a lot better

has Lallana got injured? Just seen comments on twitter he will miss the start of the season? Obviously didn't want all the abuse from the Saints fans

When the hell are we going to get some good news. I am losing more and more faith in our board every day. Seem to be totally hopeless. So now we have Fonte linked away aswell as Lovren , Osvaldo , Ramirez , Morgan , J Rod and Chambers. Hopefully just paper talk but we certainly haven't managed to stem the media negative frenzy against our club. Then we go in with mickey mouse offers for potential targets which points to the Saints board being totally incompetent imo. I don't expect them to go in at full asking price but i do expect them not to totally insult the other teams and get their backs up We are currently having the worst window of any premiership side by a country mile . Still plenty of time to change but board need to land one of these signings to change the whole mood and perception about the club really soon and not a couple of weeks as we keep getting told. Will they still be quoting 2 weeks on 30th August!!! Currently losing the faith more and more by the day and have absolutely no confidence in the board landing our unrealistic targets like Rojo , De Vrij and Clasie. Hope they shove my major doubts right back down my throat but i doubt it

Hopefully 5 or 6 signings but nothing seems close!! Looks like another week with no signings with certain posters saying things will look better in 2 weeks. It always seems to be 2 weeks stated and then nothing happens. We could end up with another 3 players out the door Lovren , Osvaldo and Ramirez before a new signing. Hope to god we start getting some signings over the line as it has currently been the longest most frustrating summer I can remember being a Saints fan with no good news anywhere in sight. Tick tock tick tock we desperately need some good news!!

No wonder the new signings are taking time if we are offering such derisory fees!? Don't think we should be cavalier but we are meant to have another £40-£50 million to spend and that is not taking into account any further sales of Lovren , Osvaldo and probably Morgan. Surely we must roughly know with most of our targets what it is likely to cost to the land them and what sort of wages they are looking for

None but Guan and other itk's said by last Sunday things would be looking so much better. A week later and they are certainly not hence my comment on why the last week has been so frustrating

I cant believe the happy clappers think we are having a good transfer window . So far it has been just short of disasterous if Morgan and Lovren leave and with potentially losing the whole of our spine we have so far had the worst window of any premiership team by a country mile. Really hope we get some good news sooner rather than later as every day that goes by and we don't land another significant signing makes it easier for the press to keep upping the hype about us being a crisis club and further unsettling our players. If we want Morgan to stay we need to land significant targets quickly imo. Lets hope this current week is a whole lot better than the one just finished!!

I see Some West Ham fans on twitter reckon we enquired about Mo Diame yesterday. Would be a decent signing but surely would be a replacement for Morgan?

One of the papers suggested a deal at £8 million what we paid for him lol. The price tag should be £20 million now whilst still injured and £25 million+ once fit again. That should deter Rodgers!!

If we have this large war chest of £60+ million to spend why is Koeman saying Vlaar will be expensive at £6 million and us being now linked with mediocre targets like Tosic. Hope next week is 100% better for Saints than this one which has been shi*e what with Morgan,J Rod and Chambers all linked away, very little positive news on potential new signings with the boards going very quiet. Guan hinted a week ago that things will look so much better by last Sunday. A week on and they are certainly not looking so much better to me. I am an inpatient person so i hope a week from now things will look better but I am very suspicious about our board lying as so far this summer they have not covered themselves in glory to potentially lose 5 or 6 1st team players. I hope I look really stupid by the first game of the season with 4 or 5 quality additions but i have a nasty feeling that we are going to end up too reliant on kids which is very dangerous

So who is close to signing for us then out of interest?

At the moment things are not looking at all good for next season with Morgan and Lovren likely to go and Saints seemingly struggling to get new signings over the line. Currently i think we will be in a relegation scrap and if unlucky with injuries will be relegated. I am however hopeful that we will start to land some quality signings and things will feel better as it has been a massively frustrating summer to be a Saints fan so far for me anyway with all our best players constantly linked away or already gone. No new signings seem imminent despite people hinting about done deals for a lb and gk. I am concerned that we might be chasing unrealistic targets like De Vrij and then find the alternative we have lined up like Caulker has gone to one of our rivals. If Morgan and Dejan do leave we need 6 signings to have a competitive squad imo gk,lb,2xcb,winger and striker(So a lot of work needing doing in next few weeks to make sure we are ready) Would be good to hear from the itk's that we are making some serious progress of getting some signings in. The mood will definately further drop if the next transfers are Morgan and Dejan out without the replacements being brought in 1st!!

i see the media are back to Saints bashing again to sell their papers with 5 players linked with moves away Chambers, J Rod , Morgan , Lovren and Fonte. I would put a £25 million price on J Rod that should deter Liverpool and Spuds £20 million for Chambers would deter Arsenal £25 million for Morgan and £25 million for Lovren With Fonte get him to sign a new contract Or our board just come out and say no one else is for sale whatever the price. Would be good to hear from the itk's whether we are close to bringing a couple more signings in
