Saints are apparently discussing a deal for Liverpool's Brazilian defensive midfielder Lucas Leiva. That isn't a position I would have thought we would need another player for though myself.

Just read the same thing. Under rated player in my opinion.

That'll be Schneiderlin off, then.
Lucas wouldn't join to be back up, so I think it puts a big question mark over Wanyama's future too, as Koeman so far has only played one holding midfielder.
Lucas has had a couple of serious knee injuries and is a shadow of the promising player he once was.
Don't think this would be a great move for Saints.

Hope that's not true, last position we need to strengthen

Think if we were looking to strengthen midfield then we would move for clasie. Nothing in this rumour

Actually, I can't see this being true. He's on £65k a week at Liverpool, which would make him Saints' highest earner, assuming he's not going to take a pay cut.
Are Saints really going push the boat out for an injury ravaged player in a position they've got plenty of cover for?
I suppose nothing should come as a surprise after this summer's shenanigans, but this would certainly be a weird transfer. DMC is not a priority right now.

Doubt this is true but I really hope not. Never rated him at all. Frankly everytime I've watched him he's been crap. Don't think he's any better than spider, cork, Wanyama or JWP. Plus as previously mentioned he would be on massive wages. What's the point?

Anyone else worried this may be part of an exchange deal for Morgan. If so we would really be becoming Liverpool development squad

So what if develope kids for Liverpool. If they continue you pay us 25 million a player then we can use that money to increase capacity and develop even more from our youth academy. Their will become a stage when our capacity allows us to compete with the top six clubs and then Europen football will follow. We have to do this in the correct way or we could end up like Leeds. Exciting times ahead, we just need to be patient
