Hear saints are interested in signing koke from athletico Madrid and also Julian Dlaxier from Schalke. Wouldn't mind either as koke is a cm and Dlaxier can play on the wing or in the middle. Dlaxier is young so the sort of player saints would want to sign

Draxler? He's incredibly highly demanded and an incredible player. No way will we sign him. If he leaves Schalke he will go to one of the top clubs in the world.

Where are you hearing this? Do you have a source of any kind?

Cant see us getting draxler, even if we did he wouldn't be cheap, hell play for somebody like barca or munich when he's older
Agree6
Disagree1
Draxler is sort of player everyone wants to sign! This is not going to happen - he the next big thing in Germany and will end up at Munchen I'm sure.
Agree4
Disagree1
But maybe he would be the big signing of the transfer market like Ramirez was last year
Agree2

I have no idea who Saints will sign but it does seem that every player who is linked to Saints is too good and will go to one of the top six clubs or want Champions League football. There can't be that many places available or they would be at these clubs already. Surely some players are willing to work to helping a club achieve higher status rather than them have it handed to them on a plate.

Draxler signed a new contract last week

Southampton are believed to be interested in signing Manchester City's James Milner for a fee of 10 million.

Not happening.
Agree21
Disagree5
Hope not, he is really not that good
Agree17
Disagree15
Please god no.
Agree18
Disagree14
Would be a class signing
Agree9

Milner is awesome
Agree10
Disagree17
Milner is featuring relatively regularly for City and on wages probably near 5 times what we will be willing to pay.
Agree10
Disagree8
Ridiculous post, if Milner left city, which he wont, he would walk into any top 6 club, Southampton?, lol
Agree6
Disagree11
He would only go to a club which is already in Champions league. He is actually more likely to head abroad than join us.
Agree6
Disagree5
With signings like him, we will be top 6. So take your bitter clueless comments back on to your own plastic club page.
Agree4
Disagree5
Please god no? what he's a class player and imagine his quality of cross into Lambert would be a top signing bt I don't see it personally
Agree6
Disagree2
Would be a waste to sign him given his wage demands. Plus he's not going to leave Manchester City where he plays relatively regularly at a club which is currently challenging for the title for a club which is not playing in Europe yet or really challenging for the title. Plus I think we have better ways to go about improving our squad.
Agree2
Disagree1
I would rather sign an unknown player from one of the poorest nations in the world. milner is rubbish. I hate it when he comes on or starts for england, especially when lallana and cork are better
Agree3
Disagree4
Milners a quality player. England Internatonal must sign him
Agree4
Disagree5
Milner is based in leeds his home town where he has a property business.
His Father manages that business and told a friend who was working on developing one of the properties that James owns that he wants to stay at City and then when finished play for his home town club Leeds until he retires. He would not come south.
However Garath Barry would, not heard that saints are interested in him but I guess would bring huge experience to our midfield. Just a thought not a rumour.
Agree2
Disagree2
Milner clearly doesn't fit the mold at Man City as he actually works his arse off and seems to give a damn - unlike the rest of the City team.
Would he be a good signing - yes.
Will we sign him - no.
Agree5
Disagree3
I actually rate Puncheon more than Milner. Can never understand how he keeps getting England call ups.
Agree3
Disagree3
Barry already has a goal for Southampton to his name. Maybe that was a subtle hint he wants to come to us ^^
In seriousness though I wouldn't want Barry or Milner. We are better off with who we have then adding those and we want young and hungry players who want to prove themselves in this league to bring us forward. Players from top foreign leagues will want to establish themselves here too.
Agree7
Disagree1
James Milner is a quality player! Can cross puts a shift in him and Clyne would be insane down the right, shame it won't happen!
Agree3
Disagree6
Milner is an awful footballer
Agree7
Disagree4
I remember screamin at the tv when Milner came on for England at Euro's - he was awful

Southampton FC will sign these players this summer. Jesus Gamez from Malaga for 4 million, Davide Astori from Cagliari for 12 million, Victor Wanyama from Celtic for 12 million, Erik Lamela from Roma for 17 million, Adrian Lopez from Athletico for 6 million.
Believable15
Unbelievable19
Where's this 50 mil coming from mate?
Agree5
Disagree12
Would much prefer the signing of that Victor Ruiz player to the other Centre back mentioned. Also think the prices seem to be a bit off for each player.
Agree3
Disagree2
We spent 30 million last summer so Cortese wouldn't of had to work hard to get that amount again. I've head that 50 million is closer to our budget this season.
Agree4
Disagree7
Saints have a transfer budget of about 50 million this summer + whatever is made from outgoings
Agree4
Disagree5
£51 million, and no right back, left back or striker… You're out of your tree
Agree4
Disagree8
Victor wanyama will never leave celtic to fight relagation when man city man united and arsenal are wonting him so dream on
Agree2
Disagree14
Jesus Gamez is a right back, and fox will stay and be a back up, also adrian is a striker
Agree4
Disagree2
I can understand the argument for him maybe preferring a move to Arsenal but leaving Celtic is something you do when you fancy a challenge week in week out rather than the equivalent of a sunday league.
Agree8
Disagree0
Fight relegation? ha. Clearly absolutely clueless.
Agree8
Disagree5
Why post 'we will sign these players'? That's ridiculous and childish. Cortese couldn't say that, so how could you. Although targets sound realistic, we would need other areas strengthened. This budget talk is nonsense. We don't have a set budget. If the player is what we want and the right price, it will happen.
Agree4
Disagree1
These players are the mose likely to sign for Saints, the players here fill the posistion we need.
Agree3
Disagree1
Our budget has been kept under wraps. The fact that you come in here stating 'fact' that it was 30 last year so it's 50 this year is ridiculous. Every window we spend less than these dream lists you come up with. Cortese has already had trouble obtaining a decent fee from the owners. 50 million is a lot.
Agree4
Disagree1
And by the way, we can forget Lukaku - he's lined up for Swansea. Chelsea want him to play regularly and have European experience.
PS Is anyone else worried that Rickie, although assured of legendary status at Southampton, is approaching what must be final year leading the Saints, and that none of these highly entertaining roumors are building a successor to him?
Mumbler
Agree4
Disagree3
Rodriguez is the most likely successor to Ricky and Lukaku is not going to Swansea he's said himself he's not decided anything yet.
Agree3

Where is the 50 million coming froe. easy the sale of Danny Fox
Agree6
Disagree0
I don't think Fox is worth that much!
Liehberr posse also won't want to see too many pricy signings
Agree2
Disagree1
Cant wait till we get rid of Fox
Agree2

Man City don't want wanyama - they're too busy signing everybody else
