Does anyone have anything at all on players coming in?
This is now just really worrying looking at the state of the squad. We look unprepared and inadequate for the start of this season.

Ron said in recent interview that we are close to another couple of signings. Likely to be Forster and Vlaar. I've also heard Chambers and Lovren are set to leave whilst the club is doing everything to keep Schneiderlin.

I agree what we need now is players coming in not more bull. t from from the read, kreuger, liebherr unholy trinity. Time to front up or sell out to someone who will

No players should have been allowed to leave till replacements found if they don't like it let them rot.

I'll tell you everything I've heard;

In: Fraser Forster
David Marshall
Ron Vlaar
Virgil Van Dijk
Stefan De Vrij
Marcos Rojo
Jordy Clasie

Out: Calum Chambers (medical)
Dejan Lovren (medical)
Jose Fonte
Morgan Schneiderlin

That's all I've got. It isn't looking good at all. I'm still waiting till the end of the transfer window to cast my final opinion on the board, but as it's going it probably won't be good. We've sold of our English contingent, replaced with foreign players, sold off when we didn't need to and have shown a complete willingness (or ineptitude) to sell of both bright academy prospects as well as best players without much resistance.

On the bright side if we do stick to Reed's statement, that all transfer revenues will be reinvested, we'll be spending £100 million odd. Somehow I don't see it.

Jenkinson and Gnabry coming to Saints on loan, with Chambers going the other way. Option to buy on both? I heard this from a private source that deals directly with the board, and it's just been repeated by a website. Thoughts?

And in response to TJ, why on earth would Saints sign two starting quality GKs? Particularly with Boruc still on the books and going nowhere anytime soon.

Vlaars staying at Villa

Nabil bahoui the 23 year old winger playing for AIK in sweden.

Why the hell would you sell chambers and bring in jenkinson?? Chambers is future England right back and a much better player!!

I'm seriously worried

Aussie Saint, obviously not all of those players are going to come in/leave. These are just the ones where the interest is genuine or where offers/enquiries have been made. OP asked for info and I gave it, but as always with transfers nothing is a guarantee and obviously with goalkeepers if we sign one we won't go for the other. At the moment our interest seems to be leaning more to Forster. With defenders it's likely to be Van Dijk and one of the others not both and it depends on Rojo as to what position RK sees him in, CB or LB. Clasie may be dependant upon the sale of Schneiderlin, though that may just be speculation. This is all I know. Clarified?

Is anyone else surprised that we didn't even get a couple of transfer make weights from Liverhampton or Man Utd? I'm not saying I would have been over the moon with cast off fringe players like José Enrique or Kagawa but the option would have been nice. Didn't David Speedie come to us from Blackburn in 1992?.

Actually scratch my above comment leafing through my Southampton who's who for every James Beattie we get in P/X we also get a David Speedie and Tommy Forcaste.

Must buy the newspaper, its the only way we are going to find out what's going on. Nobody else is saying a word. Could we be buying someone very very quietly do you think?

Schneiderlin in talks with Arsenal then, and Jenkinson and Gnarby will be loaned out, but no option to buy
