If we make good offers for players and they demand more then they are not right for the club, we don't want players saying Southampton would be my last club to go to.
We need 3-4 players in asap if we are to finosh in the top half of the table, Tony

Do we really need a DM? We have Cork Shneiderlin, Davies and Prowse who can all play their so I'm not sure we need Wanyma or Nainlagon however either would be a quality addition, I don't really see it as a priority position.

just seen saints have wanyama at st marys trying to agree a deal for 12.5 million (a web site ), i'm not sure he's what we need but is a utility player capable of playing in defence and midfeild wich will be handy, I would imagine there's a couple of noses put out of joint in the squad tho, whos going to be dropped, davis? cork? or are we selling morgan?

How do you this? please tell me its true and ill be honest with you. I think we will play 433 next season with cork, spider and wanyama being the main players. but JWP and Davies being the players that will come on game to game to give spider, cork and wanyama a rest because of the way MoPo plays

Chaplow is likely to leave, Ward-Prowse may depart for a loan. I think it is likely the main rotation for us in that position next season will be Cork, Schneiderlin, Davis and Wanyama if signed. I can't see us letting Cork, Schneiderlin or Davis go this summer as Cork and Schneiderlin are a great young partnership and Davis provides strong options and some experience in the camp. Remember he can also play on the Right.

I think they call it 'strength in depth' or 'squad rotation'?!

St stuie, the clue is in your own post-SQUAD!

It is obvious the squad does need strengthening, you need to rotate players a lot more than Saints were able to last season if you are pushing for top 6 and cup progress.

The home game against WBA was not missed by MP, he clearly noted that there is a need for a bit more physicality in front of the back 4 for certain games.

Radja Nainggolan has stated on his official Twitter account that there was a translation problem with regards to him saying that Southampton is his last choice.

Does he say what the translation problem was or what he meant? As I assume his english is pretty basic or at least as good as my belgiun :P If he doesn't want to come he should say so. if we are his least favoured club at least be tactful about it or may no comment what so ever

Look at the interview he basically saying he's not sure if he can get a better club and improve his international chances.

Come on people you don't honestly think that saints are more attractive than those two big Italian clubs do you? You can't blame the fella for putting saints as his last choice as i'm sure any decant player would do the same thing as Southampton is not exactly a stella club is it no offence.

I think the mis-translation thing is the fact that somehow the papers got the impression and kept saying that Southampton were literally the last club he would choose behind teams like Torquay. I think he is perfectly allowed to prefer a top Serie A side to us if he has offers from them.

Potential Southampton target Verd� has signed a 4 year deal with Real Betis.

Good, that puts an end to that one then. Not sure he fits in with the mould.
