I think it is very apparent to mp and his staff and nc that a couple more are needed. I wouldn't worry. There will be more additions.

QPR striker Loic Remy has joined Newcastle on a season-long, the Barclays Premier League side have confirmed.

I trust the club to be working their socks off to do the necessary. They'll tell us when the business is done and dusted. And if they can't get the right person with the right deal, then so what - we're still moving in the right direction.

Great looks like Wigan are Emmanuel Mayuka?
That's what to do send him on loan because we've got loads of options up front? Wtf

^^they may be interested in loaning him but that doesn't mean it is going to happen. Otherwise Messi would soon be coming to us (as i'm sure we would be interested).

Use a bit of logic mate

Does anybody agree with me that it is the likes of Mark Lawrenson etc. that put players off coming to Southampton. Never got a good word to say about us. I am sure players we want are influenced by their pessimistic attitude to us.

I don't think anyone takes Mark Lawrenson seriously - not even his mate Hansen

Yeah Lawro you mug! Do one. it's clearly all your fault!
ps please keep that bushy 'tache, it tickles

No one else is coming in and I'm sure I'm not the only supporter that feels that way!and with remy now looking that he off to Newcastle the options for a top goal scorer are looking thin on the ground. if Southampton think they are going to get a top ten Finnish without bring in some surpport up front they will be sadly mistaken!and I know its great to have a solid minefield and defence but it's goals that win games plain and simple! The celta Vigo game proves the point! We control the play make loads of chances but can't put the ball in the back of the net! 4-1 on pens even from the spot were struggling and please don't reply to this if your going to say what we've got is good enough! Their not! Not for a top 10 Finnish let alone top 6 Finnish and that's if we don't get any injurys we lose Rickie for any length of time and we would be in massive trouble?

Stuff remy give mayuka a chance
You sound like our lass moaning and bitching lol keep the faith I for 1 am looking forward to this season

Look who took the penalties. i'm not saying we don't need strikers but if you look at took the penaltys I doubt even practise, however we do need a striker, unless mayuka steps up

At last someone with some sence could not agree anymore strongly. we've wasted time going after big name players that do not want to play for us instead of going after relistic targets looks like we're out of time and protental targets.

Firstly you read too much into friendlies, when they play in front of a a full ground the players adrenalin will be pumping and the games will be very different, yes it is clear if we need anyone its a clinical goal scorer but I fully believe we will sign someone but it won't be till the end of the window as that is when most of the deals go through. You can't just say with 4 weeks of the window left we definitely aren't going to sign anyone else. That's silly! I also believe top ten is achieveable with this group of players. Another point I would like to make is the type of striker we need is a goal poacher who is in the right place at the right time. We have one now. Billy Sharp. Surprised MP didn't even decide to look at him in training seems odd to me

Saint IQ

If you cut out all of the stupid mistakes made last season by Jos and Fox, we would have been around midtable. Now we have Shaw playing regularly, Boruc in goal and Loveren coming into centre back I think we can only get better. Yes we could do with a super striker, but I think we could push for top ten without one.

Have some faith! We have made two great signings so far and until the club make an official announcement that we are done for this window there is the chance for more. let's not also forget the talent of youngsters coming through the ranks.

Its possible that we are done this window and I personally think its a wise thing to make the right signings at the right price rather than panic buy.

What happens if we don't get top 10? We have another crack next year!

Top 10 finnish? Cool. I prefer Swedes or Norweigens personally. Sorry, cheap shot.
Anyway, seriously, don't panic. NC knows what he is doing. They say Daniel Levy is the prems toughest negotiator. BS, that mantle goes to The Don. If MP says he needs such and such a player you can be sure Cortese will do his best to get him the right player.

Saints are still in the market for a striker, Damiao, Remy, Sow and Osvaldo have all recently been linked. Wo would you prefer? For me it would have to be Damiao after watching him last night. He's the real deal!

Mini-Saint

I agree go for Defoe

Ex skate no thanks

No but he's better than most of what we've got on par with Rickie would make a great partnership and the two of them would get double figures this season both were top English scorers last season!

Their must be a reason Defoe is not always in England squad and rarely first choice for spurs with his scoring record
attitude problem anyone

Defoe-netly would be a good signing. He scores goals and has been unlucky with a mixture of injury and competition. Your saying he has an attitude problem because he scores goals and doesn't regularly play for england - ermmm, does SRL fit this criteria? SRL has no attitude problem.

Wages probably too high, will be on a lot more than anyone on our team are on currently

No because he can score goals a bag full
but he is not first or second choice for spurs yet he was or is more prolific than wot they had
there must be a reason for that

So according to the newspapers we have lost out on our initial strikers we were after and are now looking at Loic Remy?
Chances are by the time this hits the rumour board he will have signed for Newcastle lol.
Hope it is untrue and we still have a chance of Damio.

Remy going to newcastle
would have been worth a go to get
him
scored a few goals for qpr last season
and they were struggling

Shows just how little the media know about NC! So, he will bring in a player with a serious criminal charge hanging over him?

I can understand the media knowing nothing about Saints, but expected a bit more from our so called supporters.
