Transfer Update: Southampton FC Official Site: Saints have completed the signing of former Arsenal centre back Tony Adams. Adams has joined on a one year contract and its believed that the unveiling of the new home kit was a major factor in his decision, he said, ' it reminds me of my playing days at The Arsenal. ' More signings to follow if we can get anyone to wear are awful kit!

(facepalm) for a minute then I was like a transfer then I realised you were joking all I read at first was "Southampton have completed the signing of" I was like yes! finally then realised your a joker :L

Think they got a job lot from aldi very cheap looking you can go on the addidas web sit and buy the same shirt for £11. 50 and add your own badge I like the look of the red and white stripes shirt addidas do might buy it and add my own saints patch job done?

Southampton fc confirm Lambert will wear No7 shirt. Gaston 10 and Lallana 20. #club shop

Good post but three of their most influential players were not picked up from the Championship and are the ones that score the goals that matter. They are Leon Osman, Jelavic and Pienaar. Without them and a few others they would have struggled and think they may well suffer this season now Moyes has gone.

As much as I'd like us to sign the likes of Lamela and Dalmio as they're both class, as ambitious as Cortese is I don't see us spending 20m+ on one player, it's not really the southampton way is it? It's great to be linked with these players, but we usually look for young underated players, for lower prices and to be honest rather than splashing out 20m on one player I'd rather us spend it on adding squad depth, a new RB, LB cover is needed, a Winger good enough to rotate in and out of our first team with our current wingers and a striker, I personally think the most we spend will be 10-12m on a DM like Nainlagon or Banega although with Cork, Shneiderline, Davies and Prowse, do we actually need a DM? Wouldn't mind that 12m to be spent on a striker that could grab us 10+ goals next season?

We're not supposed to be spending 20m+ on a player? The reported amounts were in Euros. 20m Euros isn't much more than what we paid for Ramirez, so we obviously will spend that much, don't understand how you can't see that?

Can anyone remember wot happened when keegan signed
and he should of went to a top European side at the time

20m euros is 16-18m sterling roughly. Exchange rates are naff at the min.

Ok, my point still stands it's a lot of money to spend on one player

What exactly is the "Southampton way"?! I'm sick to death of muppets stuck in the past. Haven't you noticed the club evolving. I'm all for tradition but some people cling onto it like its more important than progression. Have a little think. we all loved The Dell but had we stayed, we would be lucky to be in the top two tiers. Embrace the changes and bask in the glories it IS bringing.
