To find out more about 'The Balkan Cruyff', check out SaintsWeb member GGalpin's interview with Miloš Marković, the editor-in-chief of Serbian sports website Sportske.net: https://medium.com/@GGalpin95/djuri-i-681ec09fa39b Anything else anyone is looking out for across the leagues? There's talk that Redknapp and Hughes are going head-to-head for Adebayor on loan, that could be quite amusing if he chooses to go and play for Hughes... Edited 2 February, 2015 by Saint-Armstrong
SNSUN Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Perfect deadline day: 1 midfielder and 1 striker in, Osvaldo the only out, Kate Abdo's dress falls off. Average deadline day: 1 midfielder in. Osvaldo the only out. Bad deadline day: No players in, JRod, Morgan, Clyne, Wanyama and Pellè all sold for next to nothing, Portsmouth get bought by the wealthiest sheikhs in the land, Jim White's clothes fall off and Koeman leaves for Barcelona, to be replaced by Andy Awford.
BlakeySFC Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Shame they've scrapped the live broadcasts from outside the grounds, the FHRITP interruptions and the infamous purple Dildo outside Everton's training ground made me laugh like an absolute drain.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Going to be one of the worst deadline days in recent history. Looks like we'll bring in Djuricic and nobody else and there's not too much else going on within the league.

Saint_clark Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Can't wait for this over hyped deadline day b*llocks to be out the way once again.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 2 February, 2015 Author Posted 2 February, 2015 Can't wait for this over hyped deadline day b*llocks to be out the way once again. Ha, amen... I'm taking solace from the fact that I'm to be on 'Saints watch' for a couple of websites/feeds and after we sign Filip, that will be that. At least we don't get the stupid fans. Unfortunately, I imagine Jim White will be about... *sigh*

Saint-Armstrong Posted 2 February, 2015 Author Posted 2 February, 2015 I do not understand why anyone would choose to spend their evening watching reporters say how nothing has happened yet. Can be amusing to see which reporter can say that there is no news in the most waffly way possible.
BlakeySFC Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 It's all about the potential abuse of reporters for me, that was the entire reason I watched last Summer and it didn't disappoint, now they've scrapped that there's no reason to watch.

With all those "sex toys" waving about, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
saint lard Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 I think I will end up more disappointed that Cork left than I will be excited by his replacement. We need a striker so badly....Demba Ba please. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint Charlie Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Quite possible that we could be stuck with Pablo Daniel too.
hypochondriac Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 As well as all the latest breaking transfer news and views from BBC Sport pundits throughout the day and night, we will be getting updates from Fifa 14 Interactive World Cup 2014 Grand Final competitor David Bytheway and Football Manager expert Alex Stewart. Alex is 32 years old. He lives in London and is a Southampton fan. Only one football manager expert who is a saints fan. Have we unmasked Mlg???

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Expecting Filip to be our only business today, with no further incomings or outgoings. Can I ask what you're basng this on? According to the Beeb it was "at least one". I wonder if we've trimmed our expectations since then, missed out on someone or now have to wait the summer for someone instead? Shame if so as we need a striker and could do with the bodies, even with Toby, Victor & Morgan due back soon. Not many Premier sides name only six subs and half U21s at that.
david in sweden Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 I Had To laugh 'The pervert way' ���������� .think he meant " perverse " as in ........" a determination to prove people wrong ...."
angelman Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Quite possible that we could be stuck with Pablo Daniel too. No, I am not sure it is possible. He is on a season long loan, and we can insist that Inter see it out.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 BREAKING NEWS Sky sources understand Filip Djuricic is close to joining Southampton on loan from Benfica. [From SSN]
Bewildered Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 From the Echo: here's an update from our chief sports writer, Adam Leitch, who has his ear to the ground at Saints today; It’s all fairly quiet at the moment. Saints continue to work on deals for Filip Djuricic and Tonny Vilhena but neither is near to completion. This could be a fairly long and tense day for Les Reed, Gareth Rogers and club secretary Ros Wheeler. They have proved themselves expert at getting tricky deals over the line in recent times. However, the nature of the Djuricic one is such that even with all that experience it is going to be tough. That deal has seemed to close to completion in recent days but at other times all but off. Vilhena is more about reaching an agreement with Feyenoord and the Dutch side getting a replacement themselves. Typical deadline day stuff. Looks like a long day ahead.
Jack Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Surely we don't need another midfielder with everyone coming back? It can't be the priority with the adequate cover we've got. We need someone to take the pressure off Pelle. Or rather someone to come in and start putting away the chances Pelle keeps missing. He keeps playing fairly well without looking like scoring, which isn't really good enough if we want to push for Europe.

S-Clarke Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 How long will sky flog this dead horse for, pointless. They're getting exclusive updates from clubs to tell them that there will be no business, yet they're going to stick around as they have done deadline day stuff in the past. Jeez. Clutching. BT Sport seem to have a better idea, 3/4 hour show in the evening of deadline day. Job done.

iansums Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 No accounting for taste Given that we've all see a photo of your good self are you honestly expecting us to believe that you would say "no" to Kate Abdo?

He keeps playing fairly well without looking like scoring, which isn't really good enough if we want to push for Europe. Does he miss that many chances? I don't think he does. We lack creativity and a killer final ball too often, some different options from midfield might help that.
S-Clarke Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Does he miss that many chances? I don't think he does. We lack creativity and a killer final ball too often, some different options from midfield might help that. Yes, this is true. We try one too many passes, or go backwards and sideways. We lack someone to put a ball in quickly, or to thread one through quickly. Pelle is always available, always in the right positions, but the service to him for the last month or so has been pretty pathetic it has to be said. Tadic has gone off his game, he only needed a yard and he'd whip one in, but now he seems to never beat the first man - but teams are getting tighter to him I've noticed. I know it won't happen, but a Wesley Snidjer type is exactly what we could do with. Someone in that number 10 role with a range of passing and an eye for a pass. We've got people like Mane, Elia, Long, Tadic etc who are more suited to the wide area's or playing on the shoulder. JWP has been tried in that position and has looked ok, but I think we lack a pure number 10 type. Our trouble recently is breaking sides down. Lots of possession is all well and good, but when you have no shots on target then it's pretty pointless and just illustrates the sideways/backwards way of our game right now. Not sure about this Filip guy, but maybe he's being lined up for that number 10 role. We've got the pace and the movement up front, now we just need to find it a hell of a lot quicker and more accurately than we have been.
Ashby Saint Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 According to BBC reported Ian Dennis, Danny Ings has signed a pre contract agreement with Real Sociadad.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 I thought someone said he was nailed on to come here in the summer because he's such an uber fan?
dellboypete Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 I'm a bit lazy today so can somebody remind me how many loanees we already have and how many we are allowed to have/play?
angelman Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 According to BBC reported Ian Dennis, Danny Ings has signed a pre contract agreement with Real Sociadad. Ha ha. Love it. Would have liked him here, but Sociadad over Liverpool/Spurs would make me smile.
Bewildered Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 According to Ed Maylon on the mirror deadline day blog, we are enquiring aboiut FC Twente's Kamohelo Mokotjo in case Vilhena deal fails

Just wish there was a striker being considered too, to the weight off Pelle's shoulders.
angelman Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 When we signed Mané I am sure that people were saying he could play either as 9, 10 or 11. We know he can do 9 & 11, but couldn't he step in as a 10?

trousers Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 @jordansibley: @SimonPeach 11:15 on #DeadlineDay and I haven't heard from you. Do I need to file a missing persons report?! #prayforpeach
Jack Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Does he miss that many chances? I don't think he does. We lack creativity and a killer final ball too often, some different options from midfield might help that. You're right, the service hasn't been great, but he's missed some great chances in recent weeks. United, Everton, especially Arsenal spring to mind. I don't think we can expect that much more from an £8m player, but I think we need someone to share the workload. Tadic really isn't helping, his delivery has been pretty poor recently. I hope we see Elia on the left, Mane behind Pelle and JWP on the right next time out.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 According to Ed Maylon on the mirror deadline day blog, we are enquiring aboiut FC Twente's Kamohelo Mokotjo in case Vilhena deal fails Are we interested in any players who are not dutch,have played in Holland or will play in Holland at some future date? It all seems very dutchophilic to me just now. I'm sure that they're all fine players but there's a whole wide world out there to choose from.
Bewildered Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Total Dutch Football @TotalDutchFB 1m1 minute ago Kamohelo Mokotjo's agent says 'there is only a small chance' that #FCTwente midfielder will leave today. #SaintsFC interested via @ed_aarons Mokotjo's agent doesn't sound too confident that anything will happen, though the fact he says there is a small chance suggests the interest is there.
once_bitterne Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Mokotjo's agent doesn't sound too confident that anything will happen, though the fact he says there is a small chance suggests the interest is there. He left Feyenoord as he fell out with Koeman so I guess a move here would be unlikely.
nta786 Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Are we interested in any players who are not dutch,have played in Holland or will play in Holland at some future date? It all seems very dutchophilic to me just now. I'm sure that they're all fine players but there's a whole wide world out there to choose from. In a way I agree with this. I fear the players we are getting are going to play for Koeman, rather thaan Southampton FC. When, inevitably, Koeman goes on to bigger and better things, we will be left with some players whos head isn't in the game!
SNSUN Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 No accounting for taste Or Guillem Balague if that floats your boat...
beatlesaint Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Maybe I have mis-understood this January transfer window. The club have stated they are aware of who their summer targets are to take the club on again. Any January transfer business was always going to be about adding some squad strength wasnt it ? People slagging off this guy from Benfica before he gets here but if he is just to increase squad options then whats the problem.....and its only a loan besdies !!
sadoldgit Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 This transfer window malarkey really is a load of carp.
