I like the way we are going about our business this window, so far it's been sensible and we are getting really good players for decent prices.

I'm disappointed Clyne seems to want to go to Liverpool, they are in such a mess but that's his choice, he does seem to have annoyed Saints and England also recently so maybe it's not so bad he goes.

As for people saying we should stick with Gaston, I can't understand that at all - he hasn't performed anywhere near well enough or consistently enough to warrant a place at the club. He couldn't even turn it on at Hull either and it's not like a lot of clubs are on for him either from what we know. Shame as he doesn't seem a bad lad, just not up to premier league physicality really.

I'm more interested in our next signings:

Keeper on loan
Midfielder to replace spider
Cente-Half - assuming we don't get Toby
Another creative midfielder - clasie hopefully

After the three left us for so called better club and more money
last summer
I think if Clyne goes to liverhampton as well he would be showing saints fans very little respect

if some wave £100k per week in your face you would be on the first bus out. Footballers have short careers, they are going to money chase, it will always be the way.
And don't forget that for all the troubles Liverhampton are having, they are still way bigger than Saints.

In defence of the Gaston thing he was injured for the main part of last season and to be honest would you have been motivated playing for Hull City on loan? When we bought him Adkins was here and we were playing a completely different style of football as compared to the high pressing game that Pochettino started . I still think he is a very skilful player and is only 24 and if he could man up a bit he could be very handy for the European campaign which will not be all blood and guts like the PL . Most foreign teams do not play as a team ( apart from the obvious big ones which I don't need to name ) but rely more on individual skills and long balls in to the channels . If we can't move him on for sensible money why not keep him and use him as an impact player especially with his knowledge of playing in Italy . Not the perfect answer I know but a bit of variety in the squad will be important if we want to progress in the Europa League.

This "bigger than" keeps cropping up.

So were Leeds.

An ITK on one of the Saints forums suggested Clyne is still expected to stay. Whether than means through a contract extension or to run his contract down who knows.

However putting into perspective that Liverpool are in a transitioning phase and have just lost their main man for the last 14 or so years in Gerrard, they could be about to have a poor season. Plus the fact they've been given a very tough run of fixtures to start off with as well, if they don't do well you can guarantee the media will put a lot of scrutiny on Brendan Rodgers' shoulders.

Clyne is at the point in his career where he wants to be playing at the pinnacle of football and so to sign for Liverpool on a long term deal now, whilst it will reward a big pay rise, it still may not provide him with a chance to play in the Champions League.

Leeds still are!!'!

Leeds are rubbish

Leeds have a owner that invests into his team and in truth all they need is a good solid manager and then they would most probably fly back up the leagues.
