    And Van Dijk for £8-10 m as well.

    Has Van Dijk been strongly linked or just rumoured?

    Rumour is he has spoken to us and Swansea and because we have the Koeman factor I do believe this one will get over the line.

    Sterling is as thick as a fence post and although that doesn't mean much in footballing terms. Most good players do have a different type of spatial and anticipatory instinct and intelligence - having watched highlights of him playing I'd say he has not got these naturally.

    But they still wouldn't have been able to bail out England in the last world cup.

    I'm not sure what people's obsession is with the Dutch players we've been linked with.
    I bet half of the people asking for players like van Beek and Vilhena have never actually seen them play.

    As for Clasie, I know nothing of him.

    As long as we have a solid CM and a solid CB I will be happy.

    Feyenoord played in CL/EL this year, and Clasie's a member of the Dutch national side who started in the third-place game of the 2014 World Cup. Not hard for people to have seen him in action.

    The person I talk to has said we want to get this one done. But have bids in for other players as well.

    I'd like that. From obligatory youtube videos I can't tell how good he is defensively, but he's very good with the ball at his feet, his ball control is like the one of a skilled midfielder.

    As he's been playing up here in Scotland it's highly unlikely that anyone could tell you how good he is defensively :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I really hope we get van Dijk, if only because it's been so long since there was a Virgil in Southampton. <whistle>

    Still not totally convinced with Van Dijk, think there are better options.

    Will we have to sign a home grown player to hit our quota now Morgan has left and you can't use any of the u21's.

    We need 8 and currently have 7 unless I have forgot someone:- Forster , Davis.K , Bertrand , Davis.S , Isgrove , J Rod & Long?
