    Bbc solent reporting Southampton sign gazza for 2.5 million on a 4 year deal .
    If true what a great bit of buisness by the club

    The 4 year deal is over most saints sites, money varies but a good deal if it happens, I feel a few transfer deals will be sorted today, or is that wishful thinking?

    UTG!!

    We need more to substantiate what we are saying, otherwise it reflects bad on not606.

    The important part is to find the rough time that this was heard, then we can find the broadcast.

    They just mentioned it in the sports news.

    basically said they believe transfer is near completion.

    Just been doing a search and I can't find a solid fee mentioned but it would be good to have these deals completed asap.

    I can find clear evidence of the source of the rumours from Solent and its presenters, close to a deal but I cannot substantiate those fees/terms.

    Ben Croucher has apparently tweeted this morning that Paulo will be signing today. I can't post a link as I can't get on twitter now I'm at work, so perhaps one of you kind chaps can do it?

    Hearing from @kristemple that Paulo Gazzaniga is about to sign a deal with Southampton

    He then tweeted:
    Ben Croucher ‏@BenCCroucher
    If Gazzaniga does go, expect to see him loaned back. Allen told me he and Scally were insistent on having him playing this season.

    I think this is very good news on all fronts. Allen really has been quite honest with the press since his appointment hasn't he?

    deal of the season if we get 2.5mil plus loan back!!! be sad to see him go but he was destined to obviously!!

    and can i say a massive well done to hess for pulling this one out the bag in terms of signing him last season for nothing. there are not many players who can turn you 2.5mil profit in a season but hess has found one and heres hoping he can find another couple over the next few years!!!

    IF this happens, will it go down as better deal then an exchange of tracksuits (Tony Cascarino). I await for someone, somewhere to go and make that a story now if it happens - lol

    Gazza has said it is a 'dream' that he cannot believe it and it is really crazy - via Saints Player

    Gutted he has gone but well pleased for him, nice lad and sure he will do well, cannot see why we have bothered with the Tommy Forecast loan as I cannot find anything good written about him!! hope he is only back up.

    Not a god read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Forecast


    Anyway lets look forward to some transfers now


    UTG!!

    good luck gazza with future success and a big gills sell on fee <somersault>. sure jim stannard will improve him on a whole.

    not a good read regards tommy forecast this goalkeeper, looks like he's spent most the last couple of years playing non league...at 25 years of age !

    i won't use the word "so called goalkeeper" for geminiswifts benefit <laugh>
    though not confirmed on our O/S yet, we've taken a keeper on loan for a year that i just hope we have looked at first <yikes> and won't join us till next week...seeing as he's out on the saints tour...makes you wonder if we've even spoken to him face to face ??? <doh>

    Not good.

    Have a friend who is a Grimsby fan. Told me this morning that Forecast is the worst keeper he has EVER seen at Blundell Park. And they've had some rubbish between the sticks over the past decade or so.

    However, hope there is now a bit of a transfer kitty available for 3-4 '1st team additions' as Mad Dog put it.

    UTG.

    I can't believe the negativity of the Forecast loan, who on hear has actually seen him play? You can't judge a player simply based on a wikipedia page. I doubt we would have brought him in if MA didn't think he couldn't do a job for us. We are looking a Nelson so Forecast could just be back up to allow Hawkes to go out on loan... Lets not condem the lad before we see him play!!

    Good luck to Paulo too, he is clearly a talent and hope he goes on to bigger and better things.
