Sven Van Beek to sign within 48hrs!
You heard it here first.

Interesting, I look forward to seeing if this comes to fruition. Another player that Koeman brought into the first team at Feyenoord, still only 20, so would seem more like cover for Gardos than a starter.


2.) 26 Jul 2015 17:20:56
Na. Can't see that one is true (albeit for development squad only)!

Would really p**s off both Stephens and McCarthy and show no way through for youngsters. I know we need CD, but he isn't exactly Verane! Excellent acquisition for future and if it does happen, it's nothing to do with 1st team replacement for Toby or Gardos. (IMO)

Whilst it would hinder the chances of Jason McCarthy, Jack Stephens and Jordan Turbull, I think Koeman has made it clear he would rather see them get more game time by going out on loan. If he and Les Reed feel Van Beek is more of a finished article than I see no reason why this one won't happen.

Feyenoord have just signed van der Hejden who is a CB. Maybe an indicator for van Beek/Kongolo heading to Southampton?


5.) 27 Jul 2015 09:48:40
I don't think that Van Beek is anywhere near the finished article and Kongolo is no better than Yosh imo. I think we need a quality centre back to partner Fonte with Yosh, Gardos( when fit) and Martina as back up

Is this Dave Watsons nephew again? "you heard it here first"


7.) 28 Jul 2015 07:54:24
No that is saintdorset who appeared to be slightly wrong

2 hours to go.


9.) 28 Jul 2015 12:46:23
Too excited waiting for the announcement! 😉

bit hasty on the 48hrs statement there son. never mind, I think we risk pissing off Feyeonord badly if we keep pinching their players and managers. If that happens we can hardly moan about Liverpoo any more can we? or Spuds?


11.) 28 Jul 2015 14:26:39
It has been more than 48 hours now.

With Roko seemingly gone, I think we should stick with another Dutchman in Pim Verbeek or Dick Advocat. Even Guus Hiddink if he leaves Chelsea. We obviously have strong ties in the area that these guys could build on.

Really can't believe we didn't go for SRL. Most agree we could do with a back up for Pelle and at a reported 3m it would of been well worth it as either a back up/2nd option to Pelle and with his vision, I would of loved him working with the likes of Pelle Mane and renewing his partnership with J Rod.

Apparently, and I'm just sharing this from what others have said elsewhere, just before Cortese left Saints in January last year, Lambert was very close to joining West Ham and getting a nice pay rise. Somebody put the brakes on that move and Rickie wasn't happy about it, and so when the Liverpool move came up the club didn't have much resistance as they knew he didn't want to be here.

Personally if this is the case, it bothers me not at all, he's still a Saints legend in my books. However his relationship with the club is perhaps not on as good terms as we may think, perhaps why we didn't look to re-sign him.


2.) 02 Aug 2015 13:50:33
Couldn't agree more H train it just seems crazy that a player like Rickie who in my opinion can still cut it and is always fit wasn't even considered as a fairly cheap stop gap for this season . The man is a top player and would have been of great use to us this season should we have all these extra games to play . I think however RK would rather move on from what he inherited and do it his way , ultimately he will probably be proved right but it would have been nice if SRL could have come back. Maybe we still have a soft spot for him after what he helped us achieve but the show moves on and I suppose that has to happen.

If there is one thing we have done well with transfers in the past 2 yrs it is that we have received good coin for players gone. If Les Reed and Co received an offer they considered overs and Jose wanted to go than why stand in his way.

Apparently palace are after colocini and if they miss out there will go for Fonte. He has history there. Would they pay him more than we can or offer him a longer contract?

Get it done! Young fast ambitious and in a position we need quality. 10m would be a bargain from what I've seen.

Spain or Barca might not be hard as nails but JWP isn't Messi or Xavi either. I just think for someone with big wraps on him, he doesn't offer enough. He needs a hard edge or ruthlessness to make him PL quality.

20 yrs old or not, 2 things you can't develop are toughness or aggression. Your born with it or your not. While the boy has some skill, in the rough tough world of PL Football you need that hardened edge.

Agreed. JWP is a pussy. Soft in the tackle and shows no aggression what so ever. Over-rated! If you combined JWP and Steven Davis we would have a decent player.

At the end of the day, I want us to win games and be challenging for silverware. If it means we have a team full of English, Spainish or Chinese players I don't care!

Why would we pay 12-15m plus huge wages for a bit part player? Injury prone and over rated. Nek Ple.
