    Thought we'd better have one of these, deal may be sorted this weekend. I'm sure he'll provide decent backup in midfield, and he brings the immense benefit of enabling the departure of you-know-who.

    Thoughts?

    Should be fine in a squad role. Troublesome if he's being planned as an important first teamer. Either way it seems as if we've swapped someone who was never going to pull on the shirt again for someone who can at least contribute in some fashion so it's a positive move.

    Algeria looked a better side than England so he will do for me.

    For the benefit of Saints fans everywhere...

    It's Taïder not Tadier.

    And it's pronounced, Tie-dare. Not Tay-derr.


    I feel like I've done my bit. :)

    Not wishing to take the positive out if it, but that's hardly a ringing endorsement :)

    Does the accent over the ï make it Tie-e-derr?

    It is if we have just shipped some costly ones out!

    It's another recruit to join Ron's revolution and I hope Dani is a huge success at Inter (if only so we can be shot of him for good!)

    Medical on Tuesday according to DiMarzio. Decent signing.

    As I said the other day, he moved too early and then with the ownership changes and changes to the footballing side of the club, he got sidelined.

    Glad there is an option to buy. Think loans are pointless for us without them.

    Reports have said the Osvaldo move is not linked but I think it's too much of a coincidence and if he was the best player we could get from Inter and he is another centre midfielder then so be it.

    He's a good player I'd say he is a slightly better version of Cork. Good tackler, good engine, good mobility. Much quicker than Cork. I think he will be a good signing.

    Taider will be a very good signing, perfect fit for the way we play. Has the wonderful ability to keep possession of the ball. Can pass, tackle and will run all day. I've not seen a great deal of Schelotto and seems a bit of a strange one. He is thought of as a winger but has also played right back, so may be coming in as an option to cover for Clyne as well. Campagnaro, if true, would be a very good signing. He may be old but with his know how he would be a big improvement on Hooiveld and Yoshida. Was brilliant for Napoli a year or two ago and was brought to Inter when manager Mazzarri made the switch. Would have thought he was on a fair wage so seems unlikely.

    Stupid question, where does he play? Who will he be competing with in our squad?

    Schelotto might end up starting, I'd guess he's at least on the same level as Isgrove.
