Good to know he'll only bring someone in if he genuinely thinks they are good enough. Don't want to see any panic buys.

Another one:

#Saintsfc defender Luke Shaw left out due to illness this evening. MP says potential ins and outs tomorrow from solentsport best get my hoodie on (with saints shirt on over it naturally) and loiter outside st marys. I wonder if SSN will have cameras outside for me to mean mug at.

That save in the second half was unbelievable.

Good second half to take us into Saturday's game. If MP can get them to repeat the 2nd half tonight and 1st half against Everton against a team like Wigan we have a good chance of winning. Also lol at lucky Reading 2 shots 2 goals, Rafa has to be in trouble surely.

United couldn't handle us second half and resorted to parking the bus, there are very few teams who could expect to score if a side like United camp in their own half like that without some huge turn of luck.

We were bloody good second half, unlucky not to get at least a point we battered them.

Miracle its only 2-1, we have been disappointing. Moving the ball too slowly Wasted every chance to put in a final ball Fox & Rodriguez are shocking defensively down the left United look like they've stopped trying since they scored that second

Some week for Fox, from suggestions he's getting sent packing to the championship to rumours that he's getting picked over Shaw at Old Trafford. As a player who can't defend, I wouldn't want him at LB and as a player who never gets forward I wouldn't want him at LM.

Lucas Neill?

QPR getting draws in these games against top sides is impressive, however I wonder how well they will do against sides they need to beat. Won't stay up by parking the bus and hoping for a lucky set piece against bottom half sides.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri Not Southampton but Dynamo Kiev the team bidding for Zarate according to Sky Italy this one ended quickly then.

Surely having got Coutinho and Sturridge, Liverpool don't want any more attackers this window. Also would not need a work permit as he has an Italian passport according to his transfermarkt profile

Does that mean Lazio have accepted the bid and its now down to Zarate to decide if he wants to join?

Villa losing

I remember he looked pretty good in the Olympics, but seems to have gone to play in Russia and struggled.

Can Forren cover LB? Otherwise it is a big of an odd move unless we are trying to bring in a LB (which seems unlikely given MP's comments and a few bits of info from local press suggesting we are done for the month).

'arry must have penned that one himself as it claims he was the one who signed Crouch when he was here.

@SouthamptonFC Pochettino: "I haven't had time to consider new signings since I've been here. Overall, I'm very happy with the squad." #saintsfc

Press conference in a minute, hopefully Pochettino say something about transfers.

It came from one of those dreaded agent twitter accounts I'm afraid. if he was available at a reasonable price I would take him though, he may have been gash at Villa but with the right coaching and tactics he's got goals in him.

Did he really try and claim he was first on Adkins getting the boot He's right if you don't count the Spanish press, john cross at The Mirror & Alex Crook.

You should be so lucky to get the health and safety exect, it'll be the other communications guy in a hard hat and high vis jacket.

The one player they have that looks capable of doing anything at PL level doesn't even want to wait until the end of the season to abandon ship, they are ****ed. edit: it's a wind up. They're still ****ed though

So if Liverpool formalise their 13m offer, we would have to go higher on Monday. No thanks, prefer we moved on.
