DEADLINE day countdown.......

[SO5 4BW]

No it was Scott Marshall i think.

 

Six signings - probably the last time we signed as many in such a short time. Ripley, Hughes, Howells, Marshall, Beattie and Mark Paul

[Glasgow_Saint]

Beckford to Huddersfield? Glad we didnt get him last season

[rog]

Could Del Piero really sign today?

[St Mikie]

Beckford to Huddersfield? Glad we didnt get him last season

 

Never did rate him!

[Hoggins]

Fontas, Ramirez and Del Piero all to sign today

[hypochondriac]

Fontas, Ramirez and Del Piero all to sign today

 

Would be the perfect window. I would go and buy a del piero shirt immediately.

[Chin Strain]

Bentner to Juve...Joe Cole says no to Moscow..

 

Bendtner has asked for Del Pieros number 10 shirt too apparently. I'll give him something, he doesn't lack self confidence. Remarkable really considering his limited ability.

 

Apparently Juve have said no.

lol, that fella is full of it. Didn't he come out and say that he was the most gifted player at Arsenal at one point?

 

He's a pretty average player, truth be told. But his confidence has probably given him the chance to join Juventus!

I bet gooners wish Theo has his confidence, but he never seems to really believe that he can be a top player. The biggest thing holding him back IMO.

News from the North West suggests Saints could still land Matt Phillips today - if they admit tapping him up.

 

The Blackpool winger has put in a transfer request at Bloomfield Road, with Saints supposedly offering in the region of £6m for his services.

 

However the Seasiders will apparently only sell if Saints admit approaching the player before offering the club a deal, according to the Blackpool Gazette .

Don't really want him now. I'd take Ince, though.

[Saint Garrett]

So #FFC accept a bid from #AVFC for dempsey. Will that now encourage bids from #safc and #lfc. Think this one may run a few hours!!

[Rebel]

They won't sell Ince - we should go after Zaha from Palace instead if we want pace and potential

[rickylambert]

Jay Spearing's gone to Bolton

Aston Villa? blimey.

 

They won't get him, but it'll at least make the fans feel they're being ambitious.

[Saint Garrett]

They've also signed a forward from Chesterfield and have bid £2.5m?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!1 for DALE STEPHENS. World has gone mad.

I'll get it tattoo'd on my face.

typical bloody patronising statement from Fergie towards a club NOT in the top 6 !!

Sounds like BS, but as if NC would agree to that.

Didn't they say they had proof? Why do they need an admission of guilt?

[Saint Garrett]

Van Der Vaart off to Hambrg. Odd one....

[Chez]

Any chance that Chaplow might move to Brighton?

[Saint Garrett]

Sure there is a chance our fringe players could move somewhere - whether that is on loan or permanently.

 

By that I mean.

 

Dickson

Butterfield

Reeves

De Ridder

Hammond

Chaplow

Sharp

[Greenridge]

I can't see Sharp going but stranger things have happened in football

thats a pretty good Championship team

I think most of them will go out on loan rather than be transferred out - gives us a plan B for next season if plan A doesn't work this season and we get relegated!

[david in sweden]

Any chance that Chaplow might move to Brighton?

 

is that in hope ....or expectation?

[itchen_dan]

bbcsport_david: Southampton have this morning contacted Chelsea over availability of Benayoun. QPR & Stoke also showing interest #bbcfootball #saintsfc #cfc

[Aura]

Pass.

[saint lard]

David Villa to Man City.

 

And yes I would take Benayoun.great little player.

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Van Der Vaart off to Hambrg. Odd one....

 

One of his old clubs and apparently his wife still lives/works there.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Benayoun would be great.

[DT]

Oh dear. Hope interest in Benayoun does not signify deal for Ramirez stalling.

[beatlesaint]

yes please !

[Fozzybear]

I thought he was heading back to WHU. Odd one to be linked with us, I'd frankly be amazed if we got him, not the kind of player I'd expect NA to be chasing.

[Papa Shango]

Benayoun would be class

[Saint Garrett]

Benayoun...average player who hasn't really played for the last 4 years. Likely on huge wages. No thanks.

[This Charming Man]

lol, that fella is full of it. Didn't he come out and say that he was the most gifted player at Arsenal at one point?

 

He's a pretty average player, truth be told. But his confidence has probably given him the chance to join Juventus!

 

The Juve president has even come out and publicly said that whilst Bendtner isn't the standard of player they were hoping to sign, they were desperate for another a striker. LOL

[miserableoldgit]

Benayoun would be class

 

Benayoun...average player who hasn't really played for the last 4 years. Likely on huge wages. No thanks.

Blimey! Who do you believe??

[SaintDan]

Helicopter hovering over the water by town quay........Owen to add to our 15 strikers?

[Saint Charlie]

Benayoun would fit right in. Quality player on his day.

[Saint Garrett]

Benayoun would fit right in. Quality player on his day.

 

Chaplow is a class player 'on his day'

[DT]

Benayoun just confirmed he's in talks with two Prem clubs about a loan move

[This Charming Man]

Chaplow is a class player 'on his day'

 

Just not in the same class as Yossi. You would have to be pretty mental to even try and compare the two.

[fish fingers]

Chaplow is a class player 'on his day'

 

Which day was that?

[Rebel]

Benayoun will be on massive wages in relation to his ability - no thanks!

[Fozzybear]

Transfer news just in on BBC website:

 

Portsmouth have snapped up the signature of ex-Sheff Utd midfielder Jonny Ertl on a month-long loan.

 

Transfer coup of the day so far. Well done them

[beavis17]

Andy from West Sussex, via text: "Hearing rumours that Wilfred Zaha has just arrived in Southampton, his pace would be a great addition to the Saints!"

 

BBC Sport's Jeremy Butler: "Championship club Charlton are in talks with Premier League side Southampton over signing 29-year-old midfielder Dean Hammond."
