Its clear that saints will be be signing a few players, who they are remains to be seen butt it seems to come down to the following positions : GK,CB, RB, CM, RM/W, (note we got JayRod for CF).

Possibilities :

GK : Butland or Fraser Forster etc ..

CB : Scott Dann or Ben Turner etc ..

RB : Nathan Clyne etc ..

CM : Steve Davis or Danny Guthrie etc ..

RM : Nathan Redmond or Matty Philips or Matt Jarvis or Zaha (I doubt)

CF : Jay Rod (done .. great signing)

5 of these above seem possible (some free some will cost but overall achievable), all would fit the blueprint. Come on lads .. jump on the Bus. Exciting times. COYR

May I just say I am slightly worried for Southampton. Swansea and Norwich built a team of players costing 2-3 million pounds. QPR 5-6 million. How ever Southampton seem to be going for 7million a player. The higher the players cost the fewer you will get. say you get 5 players, who are really good but get injured or suspended? you will not have team depth. Im not here as a hater or saying you will be relegated. just that you need to get a few players to strengthen the squad, not hot-heads who will walk into Southampton and expect to run the team and play every match.

But we could get players such as Craig Gordon and Steven Davis on frees which will balance it out

Agree0 Disagree0

It's different this season giving the fact we are backed by owners with greater funds than Norwich and Swansea had to play with last season. Plus the climate for buying young English talent is bad, a lot of clubs are having to pay inflated prices, just take manchester united paying up to £6 million for Nick Powell, a league 2 player who is untried in the Premier League. He might fulfill that potential but he may not. So I think your judgement of our club is narrow-minded when there is a bigger picture to the valuation of players across the country and Saints aren't the only team having to fork out because of that.

Agree8 Disagree0

What planet are you on thinking we are less likely to sign players by paying twice as much?

Agree0 Disagree0

I ain't worried one bit! we have!!

all we really need is a CAM, Cb and a RB and that's it we will be fine! So have faith in your team, because next season we will bring it!

Personally I think we need around 4/6 players- a keeper, 2 centre backs, a winger, a centre mid with experience and maybe a left or right back

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I'd say a keeper, 1 cb , a RB , a lm and ay Lallana in the middle behind lambert, a rm, a CDM,

Agree0 Disagree0

Only 1 centre back, we have fonte,hooiveld and seaborne who hasn't played for ages, I personally think we need 2 and a right mid is defiantely needed imo

Agree0 Disagree0

I see what you mean one to fill outthe squad
