    In fairness, I'm very keen to put down Twitter agents, but Fourth Official is right significantly more often than most. Not that this makes him 100% reliable, of course not, but he's got enough right to suggest more than guesswork.

    Fourth Official is right 75% of the time about transfers. Just not all of our deals.

    Reading are rumoured to have made a bid for Defoe. We better hope they don't get him.

    Buttner to complete his move to Saints by the end of the day.

    Yeah from what I'm told.

    We can wait and see there's no huge rush really.

    I heard it was 5m euro, so roughly £4m from a Dutch journo.

    I'm hoping it's more, £2-3m with the rest conditional (rather than installments) because that seems a lot for a (no disrespect) pretty much unheard of player around these parts.

    I would imagine it is. I remember in the whole "stalling" of the deal was due to instalments but the agent said he and Vitesse backed down and accepted Cortese's stance. It's probably like £2.5m and rest later on PL apps, and as he is on fringes of the Dutch squad maybe intl apps.

    Yup. Life will be made a lot harder for us if its true..

    And also if west ham get Caroll. He would score so many goals for a hoof ball team, like when he was at newcastle

    Yeah his agent admitted on the BBC sport article he tried reducing how many instalments Saints were paying. So would be about right.

    Doubt Fourth Official all you like, but one thing you can't deny is that, judging by Twitter correspondence, he's in very regular contact with Zaha. Tonight, FO said there has, as of right now, been no interest from Southampton towards Zaha.

    Reading signing Defoe might seem fantastic on paper, but that is not a guarantee of success. I would be surprised if would consider someone with as high a wage demand as I would expect Defoe to make. He is a good player but potentially difficult to integrate.

    Fourth Official knows nothing, just tweets the more realistic 'gossip' from the papers. I've questioned him a number of times on his stories and just get rude, nothing comments in response. His latest tweet about Buttner signing for Southampton? jeez I could have told you that much. For every story he has guessed correctly, he has guessed twice as many wrong. Where are you getting this "75% of things right" from?
