Don't know if it's true but now have us as odds on to sign Ron vlaar hope this is right think it would be a good signing for us

Thought Koeman said we weren't in for him anymore as we'd signed Gardos? In the liverpoo pre match conference

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt this will happen. Gardos fills the gap at CB. I agree we need another but, don't see it happening.

Any news on signings? Welbeck would be a great signing and I think we are missing that creativity in midfield. Maybe ramirez will fill that part.
Berahino from West Bromwich albion would be another top buy and a loan for Devante Cole from Man City is another option. He has the strength and pace to succeed in the prem. A bit like Lukaku

{Ed001's Note - Cole has joined Barnsley on loan already.}

Things seem to have a bit quiet on the transfer front. I'm hoping that things are happening quietly in the background (a la Bertrand) - I'd still like a CB and a pacy winger. Micah Richards for me could also cover RB plus Redmond would complete the squad for me unless Roko has any surprises to pull out of the hat with his European connectons.

Almost. TOO quiet.
in all honesty I hope you're right. bertrand took almost everyone by surprise and I hope this is the same. we are desperate for a right sided winger and a cb as our new bloke isn't going to be back for a few weeks.

Boruc has requested a transfer. Understandable I guess. Be sad to see him go. Mad as a bag of frogs, but on his day, one of the best in the league.

So although I understand that Boruc wants a move, the club has stated a number of times no one else to be sold.

If we sell Arthur then KAM sure that Spider will have grounds for a grievance and rightfully be able to have the hump again.

Agree0 Disagree0

They haven't said nobody else will be sold. They said they were not going to sell Schneiderlin and Rodriguez as they felt they were part of our 'core' and as such necessary to keep. I don't remember them saying no more sales at least (although I do believe I read an article which had a headline stating that was what we said with the quotes only stating Spider and Jay Rod would stay, because news outlets feel no need for things like evidence or the truth).

Agree0 Disagree0

Boruc wants to leave because the club can't guarantee that he'll play every week. schneiderlin's situation is completely different.

Agree0 Disagree0

The contract situations with Morgan and Boruc are totally different. Morgan recently signed a long term contract, Boruc's contract is coming to an end. Morgan is hardly likely to take the hump as he has been involved in football all his life and will know how this makes the situation very different.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bye bye Boruc, much much much much better than forster the flapper

just noticed on the new training vid on the saints youtube (the one with koemans interview over the top) there was no sign of shane long.
has he picked up an injury or is he training separately (he may just be doing something else but it seemed like a full squad other than him)?

A cold. Should be fine
