    What about the £20m ish player we were looking at? I think Beefy heard a whisper about this?
    Any clues anyone?

    I would like us to get some new players in ASAP, but, even bearing that in mind, I am looking forward to the season as I have high hopes that Koeman will be a success.

    Problem is not so much with players leaving for such large sums it seems transfers out is happening a lot faster than transfers in...

    I think we will not bring in that many. Too many players will take too long to gel. Think we will bring in a few more, then maybe 1 or 2 in jan.

    I don't think if we bring new players in now or in 3 weeks. Competitive games are the ones that help teams improve.

    Agree with you to a point, but to put it in a bit of a context, when we were promoted to the Premiership in 2012 we brought in 8 players that summer I think (Gazza, Clyne, Yoshida, Davis, Ramirez, Rodriguez, Mayuka, Boruc) then Forren in January, we hadn't lost any of the first team players from the previous season that we wanted to keep, just put upgrades where the management felt necessary. I think this summer is a similar scenario.

    Better to get players in early, but also better to get players in in the last minute compared to none. Doesn't matter if they don't gel for a few weeks...at least you have them for later if injuries occur.

    I remain optimistic overall but if the team that finished 8th isn't being ripped apart then i don't know what is

    Last minute signings are not too bad though. I just don't want panic signing like spurs seems to do last season.

    The only rumours I can see are people putting 2+2 together on Twatter, and getting 5,145,675,452,219

    Funny how it's only coming out now that the team news has been released. 'Clowns talking absolute bullshit' more than rumours I think...

    Yeah, i personally think Chambers will stay for another season. I was just being dramatic (again).

    I personally think Morgan will go and that's it for now. I have accepted it and now I just want some good news (players in) and I'll be happy again!

    We won't buy anyone for £20m, because any player worth £20m+ is either already a Southampton player, or will be signed by a team in the Champions League (or Prem top 6).

    We are in the £10m-£13m bracket max.
