£8mil been rejected for Astori as he's valued £12mil by them, reckon we can get him for 10 though.
Ward Prowse on loan to a championship side.
Hopefully Shaw will stay but i think arsenal will bid big in the summer.

Shaw will be signing a 5 year deal as soon as he turns 18 we don't need to worry about him going.

Where exactly have you been the past couple of weeks? It had been reported that we had an 8m bid rejected for Astori a while ago and Shaw said yesterday he is signing a 5 year deal when he's 18. Keep up!

Anyone with half a brain knows Shaws contract signing only means that we can command a bigger fee. If we go down (which I'm convinced we won't) or he continues to excel then one of the big teams will turn his head at some point and he won't see it out. That's football. Now if he himself has any common sense, he will stay with us for at least two more years, where he'll be a permanent fixture. He looks better than Bridgey did at that age.

Southampton are in talks with FC Twente over a move for Douglas. Available at a bargain price of 3.5m euros as his contract ends in the summer.
Saints are hopeful that they can sign him in time for the Chelsea match next week.
Saints are also still in for Astori. The player's agent is in England discussing Saints offer however he also stated that Astori's dream is to join Milan, however he conceded that there is no bid from Milan, who would want to sell Abate before signing any more defenders.
There is nothing in the Coutinho rumours, The only genuine interest was from Villa and Coutinho isn't interested.
Adkins still wants a left winger and another Defensive midfielder, as Adkins is worried that the midfield is too lightweight when Cork is not playing there.
Sadly, NA is serious when he said there would be no new 'keeper in Jan. Butland thing is agent talk and Saints haven't made contact over a move since the summer.
In addition to those going in there are some outs
Dickson on loan to Bradford and the club are also in discussions with Derby over JWP possibly being loaned out for the remainder of the season to gain some experience.
De Ridder could be on his way out to Heerenveen for 1m.

JWP not going anyway, he's a good player and prem experience will be better than championship experience.

Why is coutihnio deal not happening?

If coutihnio deal is not happening i think it is considering it is a solid fact his agent booked a room at a hotel in southampton the ame as astoris if he isnt hapening then wh are we bringing in instead?

Ryan Dickson set to sign for Bradford on loan for the remainder of the season.
He is currently up north and the finer details o the deal just needed to be ironed out tomorrow.
Can't even get in our youth team (as an overaged player) yet COULD play in 2 Wembley cup finals..
Believable7
Unbelievable2
Why would you put him in either of our youth teams ahead of Ben Reeves or Matthew Targett?
The youth teams are designed to develop young talent and give match practice to senior players that are temporarily out of the first team fold. They are not designed for overages players that will never be good enough to play at EPL level.

Im sorry but how can you say that when he hasent even been given a chance.
Agree4

Ryan Dickson was brought in as the the best lower league left back when we were in league one to develop. He did not get much chance being behind both Harding and Fox in the last two-three years to develop. Would do a good job for someone in league one or championship but failed to establish himself at saints.
Agree7

He wasn't at Saints when we won the JPT. If thats the other wembley final your talking about?
Agree1

No it's not the other final, Bradford are in JPT and Capitol One. D'oh!
