If the transfer of Alderweireld does go through for 6.8mil then I must admit, this would be the most impressive transfer window I've ever seen so far.
Juanmi - 5 mil
Cedric - 4.5 mil
Toby - 6.8 mil
Stek - loan
That puts our spending to just above 16 mil, for 4 "more than adequate" players. If we add this to our total spending last summer, it would still be lower than the money we got for the departures last season alone!

In other news, no indication of Morgan leaving yet, but the longer this draws out the less time we have to get suitable replacements.

Finally we seem to be making progress by trying to sign Martina, believed to be able to play anywhere across the back four. A player we've been crying for for the past season, competition + depth. Could be another great piece of business eh?

Lastly, my two cents. Wijnaldum is being chased by Newcastle, surely he's worth a punt? 11 mil is rumoured to be the asking price. Xhaqiri, chased by Stoke and Everton, surely not out of our reach as well. Not really the most important positions to strengthen in but I'll be 'mildly' happy if we can sign either of them.

It's not going to happen.
Alderwireld is going to Spuds. Let's all get over it and move on

Need to stay true to the Southampton way and English talent by not blocking the path of are academy players as the more game time they get the better they will become and the saints in general

But this will not get us champ league football straight away unless we have an super exceptional season so will be coming 5th to 8th for a few years to come

Been a saints fan for 20years now and would much rather sea it done this way than a free for all spending spree

We need to improve stadium capacity first then we can start to strech the budget on wages and transfers then we can start to really compete with the big boys once the stadium is around the 60000 mark


So let's keep marching on by going to home games and support the saints we hate Pompey
