Dean Hammond signed for Leicester City today
good move for both team and player

Good luck dean very good player I thought but saints ambitions have outgrown his talents as with a few others from our double promotion squad

According to the daily star, Southampton; Liverpool, Everton and West Brom are fighting it out to sign Victor Moses of Chelsea. With Andre Schurlle, Willian and Eto´o at the club, Moses and Chelsea agree that he is too far down the pecking order and would like a move away from Chelsea.

If he did sign for us, what would you think of this?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would love it, young pacey winger, exactly what we need and it was reported that a pacey winger is high up on poch's list should one become available

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes a great player, he was a pain to defend against when we played them

Agree0 Disagree0

Would prefer Banega to fill the creative hole we supposedly have in midfield.

Still wouldn't say no to Moses mind.

Agree0 Disagree0

The paper talk is of a loan deal though and the prices seems high. If we could buy him outright then yes I think it would be good business but if its and expensive one year loan then no I don't think so.

At the mo we're 6-1 to sign Moses, 2nd favourites behind Liverpool, and favourites to sign Banega at 5-6, something may happen, let's hope so! Wouldn't mind if we didn't though as our squad is already so strong

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would like to see Banega come in, as I feel Gaston is not only having to adapt to EPL but also is away quite a lot on international duty. Not so sure about Moses, think I would prefer to see a young CB to add to our own existing couple to develop over the next couple of seasons (think £5m now may be a better investment than £15m in two years for the "finished article".

Saint Martin

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't mind Moses, don't think we need Banega as we have enough CM's, Gaston won't get played if he comes, also Poch said there were no more planned transfers and as we publically anounced we were interested in him, seems planned to me, so won't happen.

How does everybody feel about the squad? Personally I think we look strong

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We look strong, but then you look at Chelsea, Spurs etc I think the whole BPL has stepped up another level this year and I'd be very happy with a top ten finish.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed, there's no way bale won't leave now with the money spurs have spent, i'd be with anything above 14th were we finished last season

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree, we won't be breaking into the top 6 like everyone says, I think we're strong enough to go for top 8, as a part from Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, City and Utd I think we could realistically beat most other teams in the league, even the likes of Everton

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd be happy with Top 10 and a cup run.


Top 8 possible but won't do much better than that.

Still a young squad, think we'll only get higher and higher season on season for the next few seasons til we're hovering around top 6.

Considering there's only 4 days left of the window, I haven't seen many bizarre rumours on here!

Mini-Saint

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Aaron Cresswell seems to be the only one looking half-likely, especially as he'd probably be fine being sub to an 18year old.

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres, Mata and Kaka all set to join Saints this weekend. (there you go!)

Agree0 Disagree0

We're buying iniesta on a 2 year deal for 5mil + guly :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Haven't seen Guly for a while, didn't get in the squad for the cup and I can't see him in any of the latest videos, is he injured?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He, along with Jos Hoovield has a bug. Via Saints Player and Jose Perez, so no, he's not being sold. (I can hear everyone cheering already!).
