A lot of transfer activity with Saints. Firstly, FC Twente's manager has confirmed that Tadic will sign for us in the coming days, and this hsould be followed by the signing of Graziano Pelle.
Secondly, Southampton has officially submitted a bid for Cardiff Goalkeeper David Marshall. The bid is thought to be in the region of £8 million.
Finally, Saints are looking to turn to FC Lorient CB Bruno Ecuele Manga, according to specualtion in the French Press. They believe that this is a replacement for Lovren, who has upset the Saints' board with his recent interview. The Saints are looking for £25 million to sell Lovren.

8 mill for Marshall seems pretty hefty

£8million for Marshall does seem a little on the high side - He did have an excellent season last time out, but bearing in mind he's now a Championship player I think this should have a bearing on his value. Still worth a shot at £5million in my eyes.

Cardiff are doing a Saints valuing him at £15m! probably because they know we have cash. But it is also rumoured we are looking at Fraser Forster too, they may relent and drop their price. I think £8m for possibly the best keeper in the Prem is good. Despite the fact that Cardiff went down, his performances delayed the inevitable until the last minute.

Manga , Marshall , Tadic and Pelle sounds good to me. Get them signed and let's get on with it. Loads of money left over , sounds good business to me.

If you stick these 4 into a team lineup, we look okay.

And a LB, maybe Armero. We could be looking at. Marshall, Clyne, Fonte, Manga, Armero, Cork, Wanyama, Tadic, JWP, Ramirez, Pelle. Could be different though.

Armero was on loan at west HOOOOF last season? why wasnt he getting games there? who was keeping him out of the side?

And Kongolo! 😄

I don't want Saints to be just OK though!

Rumours coming out that Saints have bid £12m for Jordi Classie.

Sounds like double dutch to me! Would be a quality signing though

Next season will be a rebuilding season with new players gelling and getting to know each other in the first half of the season. Hopefully in the second have we can be electric and pull off some great results. I see us finishing top 7

Especially with the money we have we could get a quality striker to maybe partner JRod

I like your optimism, although I think it's a little misguided, I can't see us finishing top 7. I don't for a second believe that the players we will be bringing in will be an improvement on those that have been sold in this window, however, I'm happy to be proven wrong. We need to progress that's for sure,
