Things seem to have gone a bit quiet on Van Beek (too many vans!). He would fit our profile of having gone through an academy and becoming a top player at Feyernoord.

Agree with Saint FC 76. I was about to post the following:- http://www.shoot.co.uk/category/news/toby-alderweirelds-dad-denies-tottenham-deal-is-close/

I don't think we should go to £18m unless we are likely to lose him to a lower bid. It's difficult for us to get a really top player like Toby without the attraction of CL, so if he enjoys playing for us and has proven himself top class then it's worth going that bit extra for. If we genuinely...

I still don't think we've had a bid of more than £10m for Morgan and that's from Spurs who won't satisfy Morgan wanting to move to a CL club. If Schweinsteiger goes to United, with Arsenal both not putting any bid in and seemingly turning their attentions to Carvalho I don't think it's out of...

Interesting article on how Jose encouraged players to stay over the summer. http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2014/10/03/fonte-i-had-to-convince-a-lot-of-players-to-stay-at-southampton/?

The whole match is on Football Origin which is better quality as well. You can certainly appreciate Pelle's goal from all angles!!! http://www.footballorgin.com/2014/09/premier-league-2014-2015-southampton-v_27.html

Mane had a better debut than Pelle so not sure we should worry. Give the guy a chance, he's just the sort of player we need, a goal scoring wide player and I'm glad we went for him and not Redmond. Alderweireld plays regularly for Belgium at RB as Kompany / Vermaelen are CB's and he's pretty...

Clasie has only just signed a 4 year deal with Feyernord and has shown some intent on staying there. It would also seem strange to wind down Jack's contract when he is worth £3m at the very least. There's also the risk that Morgan could leave next summer so on every level it doesn't make...

It was "Ole" football, the only thing missing was the "Ole" from the crowd. Some crowds do it after a few passes. Maybe we're getting a bit spoilt !

It seems strange that we haven't heard anything about the agreements prior to the medicals. Presumably Alderweireld is a loan, but is it with an option to buy ? Salzburg hadn't accepted our offer earlier, presumably that's changed ?

You could add Mane for Sinclair & Long for Osvaldo. Not bad for a club who were supposed to me in "Meltdown" !

RK has apparently told Dutch website Helden Online: “I am still looking in bring in two more players, an attacker and a defender. “Toby Alderweireld will undergo a medical today. Hopefully we can also add another attacker. I can’t say who we are working on.”

Yep. Me not paying attention to previous stuff ! Here's another link http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2014/08/31/5074043/southampton-swoop-to-snatch-alderweireld

Alderweireld is as good as Lovren IMO.

Sky Bet ‏@SkyBet 1m We've suspended betting on Toby Alderweireld this evening amid reports the Atletico Madrid defender is close to joining Southampton
