    Yes, they do look like the direct replacements for Adam and Rickie. It can be argued that Rickie was starting to get questioned by a few fans last season and we definitely needed to convert more of our dominant possession into chances and goals, maybe Tadić and Pelle are the players to do it.

    I wasn't questioning him. :(

    I thought the lack of chances was more to do with the midfield, and perhaps being too ponderous getting forward. Smart managers will take note of Chile's performances this summer.

    We've improved on an aspect of our play each season. Adkins gave us immense fitness then Poch gave us the pressing. Next we need quicker thinking.

    Thought I would post this....it's actually about a player maybe joining :)

    Sky Bet have trimmed the odds on Fraser Forster joining Southampton from 4/1 to 5/2, after a fresh bout of betting on the move this morning. Arsenal, who are on the search for goalkeeping reinforcements, are 5/1 second favourites, but John Ruddy is a more likely target for them at 4/1. See all Sky Bet's transfer odds here.

    David Ospina is going to Arsenal, Ruddy will be staying and I so hope you sign Fraser Forster, would be a great signing for you guys <ok>

    Koeman on Vlaar 'I know Vlaar. He played at Feyenoord and did a good job at the World Cup. It depends on the Lovren situation.' #saintsfc

    Crooks been caught out?

    I realise that he only has a year left, but $8mil for De Vrij seems like a bargain compared to the $20mil (hopefully +) for Lovren. There must be no end of reams wanting De Vrij

    I'm gonna go ahead and believe this just because I want to. If Koeman is going to insist on bringing in a container of Dutch guys then at least make one de Vrij.

    This would really settle down some fans. Would be a great deal at the prices going around. Especially if we can give Liverpool a spanking over Lovren.

    Some possible good news regarding De Vrij, Lazio are chasing Doria of Botafogo and have had a bid rejected for the centre back. Could possibly mean they aren't in for De Vrij

    Why hasn't Caulker signed for QPR yet?
