There are reports in the Italian press that Southampton are lining up a move for Eljero Elia. A 25 year old Dutch international winger. But that's all I know about him

Would be good, is on the transfer list. but will cost in region of about £8-10 million.

8-10 maybe with a bit of talking we could get that figure down a little bit. But we've shown with the Jay Rod deal we're not afraid to spend that sort of money.
Agree11
Disagree3
He has dipped in form of late hence Juve getting rid.
Should not pay more than £6m and in my view would be a gamble.
Agree9
Disagree3
Don't see the fee as being a problem, if the player is really worth it. However, the salary could well be and I don't see Cortese breaking his current rules-even for Messi!
Agree5
Disagree2
Poor scoring record, lack of first team football and now 25.
Massive gamble and probably better as a loan with option to buy

Brek Shea has agreed terms over the phone and will undergo Southampton medical within week IF he passes work permit - team expect no problems with permit appeal but the deal depends on this + medical

I had a look at his statistics and he has 89 appearances 19 goals and 12 assists sound ***t
Agree1

We would be better trying to get Clint Dempsey if we want an American.
Agree2

Hope not looks like he may have a Jedward fixation, plus as our domestic football is generally considered to be a winter game if we have a bad winter snow n ice and all that he could literally "go missing". Oh and his stats if true aren't premiership standard.
Agree2

Looks like someone can wiki... hes only 22 and in the last 2 seasons has shown real promise. Hope this happens

As I understand it, Shea is an attacking midfielder, not a forward. So, there could be some logic to it.
Agree3
Disagree0
19 goals and 12 assists FOR A WINGER. Those are incredible stats. And he's only 22.
That would be an awesome signing.
Dallas also snows in the winter, if that's such a big issue.
Look at those idiots Man City. Buying David Silva and Aguero. Players from hot countries who don't score many goals....

you telling me he's rubbish! watch him play and **** before you judge
Agree3
Disagree1
That video proves he's crap! he's scored a couple of good goals yeah, but then the rest of the "highlights" are him knocking the ball past one player or giving it away... I'll stick with Jay Rod, Rickie, Lee and Sharpe thanks.
Agree5
Disagree1
Thats him playing against americans and there crap
Agree1
Disagree1
Can't understand why some of you guys think he is a forward. From his stats. seems he is a mid fielder who can play across the middle, but mainly on the left hand side.
Could be a useful addition to back up Adam, now that Holmes has gone.
Agree2
Disagree1
You are obviously non Saints trying to wind us up.
I suggest you crawl back under the rock from whence you came
Agree0

He plays for the American National Team and is only 22. He can play left-midfield and possibly on the right side of it as well. He would be a great addition as he would fit in with the team's style of play. Would be a brilliant signing!

As above spot on!

I have heard that Billy Sharp's agent has been offering him around....

Unbelievable20
You don't give up , do you?
Just get back on your own site.
Is there supposed to be some law against Saints having 4 top forwards, like every other club in the Premiership??
Agree10
Disagree0
Well this is my first post and I have it from a board member at a Championship club that his agent is offering him. Not saying I agree with the decision.
Agree0
Disagree5
Not every team in the prem has 4 top forwards, there's a lub called liverpool with none...
Agree11
Disagree0
If so, sounds like a pretty poor agent to me who would offer Sharp the superb opportunity of dropping from the Premiership to the Championship!!

Board member my ar$e.

Ryan dickson wont be going back to yeovil town on a permement deal. gary johnson has said in yesterdays loacal paper that he would love for ryan to sign. but now southampton have been promoted he has been priced out of a move.
since the promotion, dickson had a clause in his contract that doubles his wages following promotion

I herd we could bet bringing nathaniel clyne to st marys
A crystal palace right back who plays England in under 21s
he's out of contract so free and said he wants to go to a premier league team hopefully we can sighn him
Believable7
Unbelievable4
For the millionth time, he will not be free. A tribunal will set compensation for Palace.
Agree2
Disagree1
Would be fanstastic if we can. It sounds like we're after young players like Clyne judging on most of the rumours with Jay Rodruguez and Jack Butland. This is plausable.
Agree1
Disagree0
This is pretty old "news", perhaps it appeared recently in the Echo!
Clyne is available, and a number of Premiership clubs are looking at him, but although he is now a free agent any club will still have to pay compensation to CP (because of his age). That compensation will either be decided between the buying club and CP, or failing that, by tribunial.
Agree3
Disagree0
It will go to a tribunal because he is under 24, meaning he's not really on a free!!
Agree2
Disagree0
As good as.
Agree0
Disagree0
You can still say he is on a free, calm down. Technically he would be on a free.
Players always have signing on fees, even if they are free... but you still call them free! The point is that we wouldn't have to pay a big, over-priced sum - we would pay minimal compensation.
Agree1
Disagree0
You can say what you want, Clyne won't be joining Southampton - Ever! He's wanted by bigger clubs who have aiming for more than just survival
