I like the look of a young forward from New York Red Bulls called Juan Agudelo, pacey, athletic and only 18! Has looked a real handful whenever I have seen him play in the MLS.

Do you remember when all the takeover stuff was going on there was a rumour that the same owner was going to buy us and we were going to end up being called Southampton Red Bulls! LOL!

Haha!! I think I can remember something like that. Maybe we would have ended up getting Henry and Marquez?!

Are you sure it wasn't Southampton RED Balls they wanted to call us? rather than bulls.....<laugh> OK I'm off to bed!
 
Shane Long! No thanks... Good but we can do better <ok>


We need a CB desperately without a doubt.


Also considering that RL and LB have signed new deals wouldn't that give you the impression that they are going to be the regular front two this season <ok>
 
Rumour sites are speculating we have offered £1.75m for Martyn Waghorn (Leicester) - only seen him a couple of time but that seems far too much money
 
Plus with reduced subs I think there is going to be less need for major signings.

A Centre-Back and a loan player will do <ok>

Agreed, I was thinking just that. I think for sure a CB will be arriving soon and then as we get the games under way we should have a better understanding of what the squad is like and then go into the loan market, to be fair its done wonders for us in the last two seasons!!
 
Straight from twitter:
@solentsport understands #saintsfc have bid accepted by QPR for Kaspar Gorkss - source in London suggests - may still be issues to sort.

Very odd, it says a bid, so not part exchange? Maybe Saints rejected the part exchange and have agreed a fee for Puncheon, and now the Jemal deal has fallen through they bid for Gorkss?
 
Surely it could just mean that Puncheon is part of the fee for Gorkss? I never believed that we would get Gorkss + money for Puncheon, but the other way round would make a lot of sense.
 
Waghorn would be good I reckon, he needs a new start really and seeing as Leicester will be bringing in a top dollar striker he won't fit into their plans anymore. Lad had a poor season last year but if you watch a goals compilation on youtube from the year before that when he was on loan at Leicester from Sunderland you can see why they payed £3m for him, only 20 too. But I'd prefer someone on loan from a Premiership team like Nathan Ecclestone from L'pool, had a blinder of a pre-season but will surely be left out of their 25 man squad again, worth a go? Gorkss would be ace, get Punch out alreaddddyyyyyy!
 
'Southampton going to be my tip for promotion from Championship. Jungle drums tell me massive bid been thrown in by them for more players'

That's a tweet from a football agent - Who I think actually has quite a few saints players as clients..
 
Believe it when I see it. Reasonably happy anyway, though would like another defender. Nicola paying decent money is one thing, but can't see him slinging money around unless we are in a very good or very bad position at Christmas.
