Southampton supposedly in for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 22 year old winger who plays for St Etienne.
I struggle to believe this.
He's a ST
Very good and quick player. Would be a great addition to the squad. Hope he does come.
Also can play left wing so could happen would add much needed pace when attacking.

Gaston Ramirez signing to be announced on Tuesday subject to a medical. Source from inside Southampton. - TJ
Believe it when I see it!! Hope it's true tho!!
I'm sorry but I struggle to believe posts like this. Hope you're right though!
Lenny
I hope you are right.
I also hope you're right but people have been saying this kinda thing for a while now.
Would love to believe it but the amount of times ive seen (Player) is set to sign on (Day of week) subject to a medical just makes me think its more and more unlikely :/
I think we've moved on from him, mart Phillips is on his way
Chalkie {Ed003's Note - good old Mart}
Had to check the date on this one!
Won't be announced on Tuesday. Tuesday will be focussed on pre-match build up. Wednesday or Thursday earliest.
JJ
According to Football-Italia Ramitez deal to Saints very much alive,watch this space
After SATURDAYS game think we should be chasing an attacking the ball centre back. We need a centre back that can pass the ball up field instead of sideways all the time.
I think we've moved on from him, mart Phillips is on his way

Saints are looking at Transfer Listed Centre Back Micheal Dawson of Tottenham Hotspur! £5M value
I thought he was moving to QPR?
He couldnt agree terms with QPR....hope theres some truth in Saints showing an interest...top CB is what Saints need.
Qpr bid 9 million for him,and he turned the move down,so it's unlikely we would be anything under that.personally I think he would go to a top 6-8 club.
QPR actually bid 5.5m for him.
The reason Tottenham are happy to let him leave is because they don't think he's good enough for a top 6-8 club. As Tottenham are really a top 6 club. Dawson is not considered good enough by them but they won't let him go on the cheap I mean why would they?
Dawson would be great signing also should think about owen on a pay as you play basis very well proven goal score in prem and would not cost anything i just think it would be a great option to have on the bench
It was 9m and dawson has stated he wants to stay and fight for his place,and wont do his england career any good being involved in a relegation battle at soton
Like owen will sit on the bench, he can go to stoke and be a regular starter for a bigger club
He won't start if he becomes a Stoke player. If Owen joins the saints I'd hope he'd start and Lambert would replace him at about 60 mins.
As much as I would love to see us bring him in, it'll never happen.
FaggySaint
Who's a bigger club? Stoke? You are joking I hope?
Was 9mill. so dont talk RUBBISH
It wasn't it was 5+ add-ons and the add ons was so Tottenham rejected other offers but now that's fallen threw
Would be a great signing if we can pull this one off!
Lenny
I'm a saints fan, but there's no chance of Owen coming here.
Hedge end Bob..SAINTS FAN.
Why do we need an old injury prone player? Yes he was a good goal scorer but, we have CHUNG waiting in the wings.A younger Owen waiting to make his mark. C B is our problem.

Any more news on the Ramirez saga? Feel we need a couple more players that can unlock deffences!
Ramirez has been left out of the squad for Chievo v Bologna today... His coach has been quoted as saying "His head is not in it"...
It seems likely it should complete soon but there is still every chance it can collapse.
Give up on this one I think, doesn't look like it's ever going to happen. Bit of a pipe dream!
FaggySaint
It's got bloody boring! Move on
I am a Lifelong saints fan, and would ofcourse love it if saints could sign some of the players mentioned on this website. What a few of the fans seem to forget is that even though saints may have one of the richest owners in the league , the owners will always treat the club as a profit making buisness ( as all good buisness people should) we are not a Chelsea or a Man City who have endless millions of pounds to spend without worry of financial ruin.
We Should trust our owners and management to invest wisely as they have in previous years and with that build on what we have acheived since league 1 .
Marquee signing rumours are very exciting , but lets remember where we were only a few seasons ago and be thankful!
COYR
There won't be news on Ramirez for a while i don't think.
Bologna play today and we've got to prep for stevenage on Tuesday. Can't see us finishing off business until Wednesday and Thursday next week for most of our new signings, if any.
JJ
We need pace and creativity e.g phillips and ramirez (and a backup CB) would it be good buisness if we go down and lose money
Yes real fans understand this, but when in a very important season due to new massively sky revenue, not spending 15m could ultimately cost us best part of 100m, easy to do maths unless cortese believes we wont stay up, which looks like we possibly won't unless we sign 4/5 premiership standard players, cb/lb/gk/attacking mid who can score goals like michu/Adam Johnson as our midfield bar lallana are not a goal threat and a pacy strong striker
Yes I'm a lifelong fan, I used to watch Derek Reeves and Terry Paine back in the Fifties and I'm thankful for what we've acheived in the last couple of years but its about the present and the future so lets hope Ramirez, Phillips and
a couple of defenders are signed by the end of the month or I feel all the good work will be undone!
Although businessman are safe they rarely make a successful team like lowe said we will save in case we do go down and were did that get us admin
Cortese will most prob sort out that side of things while adkins sorts the game
Ideally we need a LB, CB, RM and a creative midfielder like Ramirez. A new LB, CB and creative midfielder is vital if we're gonna stand any chance of staying up.

In a lancaster newspaper this morning, it says that blackburn are wanting rickie lambert after giving up on jordan rhodes, somehow i cant see it happening as rickie lambert has waited so long to get into the premiership. - chris
Saw this too.
Can't be true can it? Kean can't be that stupid. No chance of signing Lambert, unless it's for a ridiculous sum of money... even then he wouldn't want to go and we wouldn't want to sell him.
Think it is smoke and mirrors rather than a real rumour, can't believe anyone from rovers would actual expect this interest to be followed up?!
JJ
Roumoured that they will offer 6m
They can have him for £50 mil plus olsson plus yak
I think he'd cost them a bomb shell and they should be well aware of that.
3m should be enough , can see blackburn swapping places with soton next season
3m? I'd imagine the saints won't let Lambert go for less than 10 million.
Jealous skate. £3m is only a number you can dream of at the moment me thinks.
Why would he want to drop back to the Championship, at his age? Not for all the chicken drumsticks in India!
Saint Martin
We bought him for a million so any thing above 5 and cortese will snap it up lets be real
In the paper i read said blackburn are willing to pay big money
26 Aug 2012 01:08:12
blackburn want to sign rickie lambert
I'm sure a lot of clubs want him but they aren't gonna get him!
Aaaaaah haha ha ha.......huuuuuuuuh.......ah haaaaaaaa hagaha.
(that's as close as I can put my hysterical laughter into words)
Jannersaint
Could be the reason they have enquired about Erick Torres if true
