Interesting stuff: " Expenditure on the training ground has risen to £38m, which is one reason why Liebherr has recently increased her loan to the club by £20m to £70m". I thought the debt to KL was £50m?. And from David Bence :" “We want to leave this community asset in a better position than when we found it.” is he talking sooner or later?

Captained side and scored winner tonight for England U21's v Germany. The lad is coming along nicely.

Morgan was taking the safe option with passes, nerves probably. This is why he's looking for Champions League football. Playing a higher level like that will take him on another level.

Agree with the French press, he was chasing shadows a lot of the time and looked like he didn't really know his place in the side. In Morgans mitigation it was Brazil though, not Lichtenstein!

Alex Crook has been sniffing around here again it would seem! Word for word almost of the OP. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/432790/Southampton-Feyenoord-Tonny-Vilhena

If he plays a couple of games, even gets a goal or two, we'll still get big wedge for him in the summer. If he' s a no show this season he could end up going on a free the season after and we'll miss out on 20 million quid.

Blimey, Bertrand is not in the top 4 English left backs according to Roy Hodgson : Take a look at @SimonPeach's Tweet: Rose called up to replace injured Shaw...

The reject bit is quite normal apparently but the foreign youngsters bit did surprise me. I thought it linked in with this discussion on a young foreign talent!

From my sons friend who was released.

On the subject of our academy this year's u16's been told this: Only 2 lads offered scholarships. Boys who were let go were told the club will be looking abroad for academy as our status/goals have changed. And we'll be in for some big clubs 'rejects' too (Chelsea were named club).

Good stuff olas. I hope we extend Ryan Seagars contract, he's the next big thing with Harry Reed I reckon.

"Conference standard" according to some just a couple of months ago.

He's ok, similar standard to Jason Puncheon imo. 4 million a fair price if correct from what we've seen so far. Wouldn't be gutted if we don't sign him though!

Morgan, Clyne and Toby won't be here next season, that's football. No need for a meltdown. We'll get about 40 million for the first 2, let's hope we spend it wisely.

If Clyne sees out the final season of his contract would Saints get compensation? I read that Burnley will get compo for Ings when he does that, although Ings is younger?

Me too. I thought he was awful and to be fair he used to make a lot of errors! This season he has not only cut out the errors but has become much more dominant and no longer hides or backs off. I wonder if it is RK who has changed his game or has he taken several seasons to adapt/develop?

Right decision one hundred percent. Incredibly disappointing as Mane s goals have been so important lately. That would have disrupted tactical plans too.

We could match their bid and guarantee first team football?

Something like this is going to happen. He's too good for 6.8 million!

Walked home, fifteen minutes no problems. Support your local team

Exit clause is likely to be like Poch had. A buy out price if I recall.

Interesting article in that it says Gillingham could benefit up to £1.5m from this deal due to a sell on clause: http://gillsconnect.com/s/Gills_News_Desk/Entries/2015/2/3_SCALLYS_DERISORY_DEAL_COULD_NET_A_CASH_WINDFALL.html

@DaniellaMatar: "Looks like #Inter may very well be keeping Osvaldo. He's on their Europa League list #saintsfc". Podolski has been left off said list so perhaps this one is sorted for the rest of the season finally? Maybe Inter will just play him in Europa League fixtures.
