    It's great to get business done early as Europe awaits but it would be nice for a deadline day surprise.

    Once a woman gets exposed to the teeming metropolis that is Southampton, she will never agree to move anywhere else...so it's adios Elia.

    At least she would count towards our home-grown count!

    Please god, I hope we don't sign Elia. Didn't do much for me.

    I'd give him a go, if he is cheap.

    He wasn't that bad tbf, and if the fee that is being mooted is accurate then I would gladly take him. He is the kind of player you would want coming off the bench against a tired defence and he could also prove very effective against lower league opposition in cup games. You're talking 1-2 mil which is nothing.

    I know it's favourable if the club give chances to young players, but I'm not convinced by Isgrove or McQueen.

    Elia on a two year deal like Martina for a small fee would be decent business and hopefully either Hesketh or Sims will be ready

    Elia has never had a run of starts. Good pre-season and few starts and he could be handy. Remember Newcastle away? Give 'im a go!

    Rather misleading headline...player chooses Villa over Southampton. He actually says that Villa wanted him whereas he was third choice for Saints who hadn't even made an offer. I understand this actually forms part of psychiatric tests before committing someone to an asylum: You have a chance of signing for Villa or Southampton, which would you choose? Think carefully. <laugh>

    SRL to WBA for £3 mill? What a shame for him. Still hope he gets some game time!

    As others have said if we can get Elia cheap ( I was told we were trying to get him at £2m), then I have no problem with it.

    Beat me to it. Just read the same article, obviously didn't choose Villa, just didn't want to get stuck without a move.

    I suspect that as long as our current management team are in place, we'll never again sign anyone over 30.

    Pelle was 29.

    I think our board are more than capable of surprising us.

    I'm against bringing Elia back. Also, bringing mediocre players just because they're cheap does't sound as a good transfer strategy to me.
