Still hoping we can pull one out the hat like Yoshida last time, though not putting any money on it. More likely someone more noteworthy than Forte will go, wouldn't be at all surprised if there was interest in Fox.
If we don't, we might see Martin and Barnard back in the 25-man squad; by my count, we're only at 22 senior players at the moment.
Reeves off to Southend on loan apparently, we've only got about 5 players who can play left-back now, panic!
Who started this Jesus Navas rumour? It's absurd. And more importantly, why does no one listen to my rumours?
He should be a good player at that level, will be good experience for him anyway. Fair to say he's probably not as good as people seem to think. If it weren't for you mentioning that one I'd be completely unaware of it. Seems the key is for people like you to spread them around
As would I, though he might have to drop down to League 1 to get action, given his spell at Palace. Just speculating about the fact that both he and Barnard were left out of the squad at the last registration deadline, but at current time we have enough space to carry them, even if intending to loan them out.
League One is surely the highest level where he could get football? He wasn't anywhere near our first 11 last season, and he was 20 years old.
So they are - don't know why I thought they were in League One - even so, not exactly a mile off where he could reasonably expect.
Ben Reeves to Southend CONFIRMED http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/reeves-set-for-southend-spell-631201.aspx
Southampton fan Conrad, via text: "Rumour that Manuel Lanzini is joining us from River Plate. Though Saints have said they are unlikely to sign anyone, you never know." Sounds legit to me
