Darren Bent is the striker saints will buy, mark my words kiddies.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I sincerely doubt you have any reputable source on this.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah sure, we´re also looking at Titus Bramble as centre back and Haim as a winger.

Agree0 Disagree0

You're going to look daft when this DOESN'T happen!

Southampton have agreed a fee of £9. 5 Million for Victor Wanyama however the player is yet to accept personal details. A lot could still happen yet so I thing the transfer isn't going to be for sure.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Part of me thinks this transfer won't happen now because its been so heavily picked up by the media and that's not the saints way of business. But I also don't think any club will actually match the bid we've made so I guess it may come down to player terms. Given the fact he's young and up and coming I wouldn't be surprised if he wants quite a big contract which is another reason the transfer may not happen. Yet all the same he would be a real coup, and brings depth to both defence and midfield. so we shall just have to wait and see!

Italian gazzetta reporting saints 17 million pound move for Pablo osvaldo still think there's better players for that money

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Of course their are better for that kind of money, for an extra 5 million could get an offer accepted for Lamela maybe.

Agree0 Disagree0

God I hope not, for that mony their are way better players about and younger!

Agree0 Disagree0

Could easily be a double bluff move by Cortese.

Agree0 Disagree0

Roma are reputed to be asking 35M euros for Lamela. a little more than £22M. Also Lamela isn't a striker. Add in the complicated issues surrounding any potential sale due to multiple ownership, and it's unlikely that we will sign Lamela, but never say never.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just one friendly at st marys. what a let down

Agree0 Disagree0

^I think Cortese was expecting more support for the pre-season games last season and only really got it for big clubs so tried to get as many as he could and wound up only with Real Sociedad at home.

A leaked kit has come out showing a predominantly red kit with some white on the sleeves and collor. The same template as the new Bristol city home kit. The badge and the Adidas logo are both in gold.

I don't like it. Looking like we're now an all red team. So long stripes : (

Lenny

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Haven't seen it and its probs not the kiti heard its red with small white strips going across it. abit like Borussia Monchengladbach away kit. with black and green stripes. but ours will be red and white. only heard a rumour though

Agree0 Disagree0

Red and white stripes are who we are saints fans are just a push over! We should all start kicking up a fuss example would Newcastle fans just let some one change there black and white kit?

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm seriously hoping for vertical stripes and a proper coloured badge.

Agree0 Disagree0

The leaked kits has white stripes on the shoulders and arms, but seriously, it's like an old Liverpool shirt. Looks cool, but not for Southampton thank you!

Agree0 Disagree0

I for one won't be buying the shirt if this is true. I'll stick to my old red and white stripes thank you very much.

Come on you Saints

Your thoughts

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Well Puddletownsaint, think you should be sent off to the colonies for that! As speculation goes, no worse than any other, but suggest it is pure speculation! Patience!

Saint Martin

Agree0 Disagree0

We don't need any CM let a lone 2, we will hopefully rotate shneiderlin, cork, prowse and Davies

Agree0 Disagree0

Cork was class last season and so was punch

Agree0 Disagree0

Spiderman? wheres schniderlian on that list?

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope not even if speculation is true. the backbone of saints from the last 3 years has been ruthlessly ripped apart lol we should need only one or two more players to add to our current squad to make a marked improvement.

seems like people on here want to read about rumours regarding the players coming into the football club but when someone posts a rumour they get their head chewed off! we all know that saints do their business quietly and under the radar. If you want to find out about new signings then look on www.saintsfc. co. uk. if you want a bit of light hearted transfer gossip then come to this site. if you think you are going to find out about inside information on this site then your going to be disappointed.

if JWP goes on loan I think this will do him no good at that lvl.
surely you become a better player playing with better players.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I would like to see him go on a season long loan to Ballmouth. But only once they have apologised to us and renounced all heretical and misguided Pompey love.

Agree0 Disagree0

Where the hell is Ballmouth? Do you mean Bournemouth?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope he stays and is rotated with Cork and Shnederlin this season

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolutely right person above. The only way to develop him is to give him first team action
