Been told from a friend at the club of Southampton interested in the following; thoughts are that deals want to be tied up before the world cup in case of any added value of competition in the players.

Adam Taggart - Newcastle Jets
Hector Moreno - Espanyol
Abel Hernandez - Palermo

I think we're target players better than them

2.) 21 May 2014
Whilst the fact that the manager situation is in the air (unless we have already signed Poch to a new contract) I cannot see us looking to purchase any players.

Surely the managers post needs to be confirmed before any players?

Edd would you agree?

{Ed002's Note - The transfer window does not open to July and I doubt there will be commitments before then.}

Hi ED would a takeover of the club by Cortese and co by a possibility or not? Still No change on poch?

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know about Cortese being involved in a takeover. Nothing happened overnight about the manager - Spurs are still considering their options. For now you can discount interest from Monaco.}

Obviously I'd love to see a fellow Aussie at the Saints, so long as they're good enough. Adam Taggart has real potential, won the Golden Boot in the A-League scoring some nice goals in the process. However, I'm not convinced he's ready to make the step up to a club looking to challenge for European football.

See how Taggart does at the World Cup, and then throw in a cheeky 3-5m bid if he performs well. I doubt Newcastle would say no to that.

Hi ok what are spurs options? should mauricios future be sorted soon?

{Ed002's Note - You need the Spurs page for that.}

Ed 002 are you sure about the window. I've tried to find out and the premier league website clearly says it opens on midnight of the final day of the season and closes on 31st of August unless a bank holiday.

Understand other countries may have differing restrictions but appears open

I like Hector Moreno, but I'm not completely sure he would be good fit for the EPL. He may not be physical enough. On the other hand, if we're going for Espanol players, that seems to imply that Poch is staying.

Cortese was interviewed by the BBC and stated that he would "never" come back to Saints. But he did suggest and hint that he wants to return to the premier league with a new club involved in an exciting project and to "watch this space"

Villa are a good shout for cortese. Similar size club to ours, but I think his new project will have to be different. Villas academy is good but we have has a much better group over the last 5-10 years
