Not a transfer rumor, but whats peoples opinions of carlisle striker François Zoko ? i think he'll make a good adition to the southampton team

.......he's good. In league ONE. Why sign an unproven player for the PL?

Don't agree with the initial post. But to this comment...

You have to start somewhere. It's about spotting talent in lower leagues that would do well in the prem, he is just asking a question.

Why would Saints want players they got rid off years ago! Plus Premiership hasbeens like Owen etc. No thanks!

Very true RED ARMY!!

Southampton are planning on making a number of signings following their promotion to the PL.

They have enquired for Matt Jarvis (Wolves), ter Stegen (young GK from the German leagues) and they are also looking at the situation of Junior Hoilett's contract but they'll face competition from other premier league sides.

Nathaniel Clyne from Crystal Palace is also being looked at as a potential replacement RB as Adkins doesn't believe either Richardson or Buttefield are good enough.

As for the other full-back position, Adkins enquired about Wayne Bridge making a possible return in Janurary and will go back in for him again hoping that he will take a substantial wage drop to re-join the club as first choice LB.

There are reports that Jay Rodriguez (Burnley) is already a done-deal but Gary Hooper (Celtic) is also a £7m target and it seems like Hooper would be willing to move now that he would be guarenteed Premier League football which was a stumbling block in Janurary.

Adkins is also working on one big signing which will be a massive statement of intent and will be a big surprise to the rest of the fans of the PL.

That's all the information I have at the moment but as I work at St Mary's I'll update whenever possible.

That would be great

So that's about 19 Championship and league 1 strikers we have, great.

Get real day dreamer.

I expect to sign a higher caliber than the likes of Rodriguez

These would be great signings but we'll never know who they will sign

''Adkins is also working on one big signing which will be a massive statement of intent and will be a big surprise to the rest of the fans of the PL''

hmm... hope it's not beckham or somebody similar.

Hooper has ruled himself out of a move saying "i want to stay at celtic and test myself in the champions leauge"
