ffs knew it would be seconds before the Brereton cdajfu post popped up as it is on every other Premier League mong board.

 

We made a very half hearted enquiry when he was a scholar.

 

was suggested on this very thread several weeks ago (and on previous transfer threads too I might add).

 

There is talent in the championship. Keiran Dowel also at Forest for example (all be it he is on loan from Everton) will make the step up in time. Not sure these championship players would turn our season around, but we shouldn't ignore it.

 

How good is Maitland-Nils by the way? What a talent. I'd be considering him for England WC squad.

Think we missed the boat with him when hwe left Wolfsburg.

 

Last article I read said he now had a 35mEuro clause in his contract.

 

Lots of people get hung up on release clauses, some countries make release clauses mandatory... but that doesn't mean you can't get them for less.

We'd probably have to spend that for Walcott - plus much higher wages...

Rumours doing the rounds that Clyne failed an internal drugs test at Liverpool and thats the reason he hasnt been included recently. Would gladly take him back, though signing druggies may not be the Southampton Way

Léandre Griffit has hinted on Twitter that this player from France isn’t French. He seems to think it’s pretty close.

 

I'm not even sure he is saying that the player is from France now!

Appears to be referring to Walcott after all.

Griffit not as brilliantly cryptic as we have him credit for.

 

Not from Nice, not French.

 

He does keep retweeting Balotelli references though...

He's more likely than Carroll / Benteke, TBF.

His last tweet is a retweet of someone who thinks it’s Balotelli...

 

After that he liked a tweet from someone who asked if the player in question was Walcott yes or no.

I think that he’s yanking our chains a little, especially as his previous tweets were about a player from Nice.

Damn, you guys made me look into his tweets... To be honest, it was does appear that he's talking about Balotelli, however even if it was Theo, I would be equally pleased. Although I honestly think that Balotelli would be a much better fit for us.

He basically admitted he wasn't referring to Nice. Add to that Nice said he won't be sold this window and I can't see it.

He said we are in for a striker and midfielder.

One is close

Implied that he knows their agent.

I'm sure we have saints web detectives already on the case.

Earlobe specialists at the ready.

Position yourself at O'neils house in Winchester

 

I hope you mean Martin O'Neil is our new manager and are an ITK. I hope you're not just joking.

Is he an Argentinian striker who plays for Monaco?

My friend makes bespoke luxury toilet tissue and he's had an order for 500 rolls of three ply butt-luxe aloe vera with gold "MB" embossed motif, to be delivered to the Winchester area.

Wow. We're signing Michael Bolton! Haircut advisor? Or is it Mary Berry up front?

Balotelli doesn't use toilet roll. He uses 20s

Anyone else getting the slightest worrying inkling that nobody is coming in at all?
No. We will bring a couple in. Just frustrating that seemingly a couple more PL games will have gone by before we do.

 

Clearly crying out for reinforcements now.

No we will get someone in probably not anyone the fans want but we will clearly bring someone in the whole point of selling Van Dickhead was to free up funds for bringing in reinforcements. Though listening to Adam blackmore on solent the other day we've got more like 40 million to spend rather than the head line 75 million.

It's been obvious for a long time that we need to bring some people in. I realise that transfers aren't easy, but we have had enough time to sort things out before the season gets any older.

I recall a few jesus wepts from CBF when it was suggested wed be in a relegation battle this season.

 

One or two more when it was suggested we'd not adequately replace Fonte and a few more when people wrote of Redmond and Pellegrino early doors.

 

His "jesus wept" hit rate is as strong as Shane longs scoring ability.

No, I'm sure we'll sign someone but it will be towards the end of the window and a waste of money given the useless manager they will play under

by the way Martin O'Neill was actually in Winchester when the infamous sighting occurred. I'm told he was actually meeting up with Steve Guppy to play a round of golf at the Royal Winchester Golf Club with Steve's father who is a member there.

 

Who told me this? My father who was also a member at the Royal Winchester Golf Club at the time and occasionally played golf with with Steve Guppy's father.

CARRILLO TO SAINTS?

 

There is firm interest from Southampton in Monaco striker Guido Carrillo, according to Sky sources.

 

The 26-year-old Argentinian - valued at around £15million - played under Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino during his two year spell in charge of Estudiantes.

 

The struggling Premier League club are seeking a target man to play alongside Charlie Austin when he returns from injury.

 

Southampton have money to spend following the £75million sale of Virgil Van Dijk, although the fee is to be paid by Liverpool in instalments over a period of years.

 

As well as a centre-forward, they are also in the market for a winger with pace and a back-up right-back.

I was going to copy paste this myself, but you already posted it. How much of this is true?

He WON'T be playing alongside Austin, as MP refuses to play 2 up top.

Do we need a back up RB? We have Cedric and Pied as backup.

Really? I reckon that's one area where we are alright TBH. Cedric, Pied and any one of Yoshi, Stephens or Bednarek able to play there in an emergency seems to be perfectly good cover in that position.

 

What about a goalscoring AM to replace the ever-fading Davis?

 

What about a solid, international quality CB to replace VVD?

 

What about a reliable 1st choice keeper?

 

It seems that the club has got its priorities wrong... again!

and where's the essential new goalkeeper? McCarthy is an improvement but he has no backup who's any good (yes, i know)
