From the saints twitter page we have agreed a deal to sign the zambian forward makuya from young boys

Its confirmed! This guy smashed at the African cup of nations! Hoorah.

It's on official site

Didn't see that one coming. 5 strikers! I'm fearful for Billy Sharp. He's quality and formed a great understanding with Lambo end of last season.
Fingers crossed NA signs players to cover areas that uegently need strengthening.

ANOTHER striker??

Oh supporting the Saints. Just proves, you never know what is going to happen. Another striker?? Did you see our defence against Wigan? Enough time still though for a LB, CB and Ramirez.
Agree7

Still a striker can be of use. We can get more goals.
Agree4
Disagree1
Surely we'll lose him for a couple of months or so for African Nations Cup - so i don't think Billy we be flapping yet!
Agree4

Adkins has said he is 'lightning quick' which could infer that he means to play him on the wing, maybe in place of punch/guly, with jayrod the other side and lambert up top in the 4-3-3 we seem to have adopted
Agree6

Likely to play lw or cf
Agree5

Check out his Twitter page... We did a "Reverse Buttner" and nicked him from under the noses of QPR... Good skills NC! ;)
Agree9
Disagree1
Think we could play him on the wing in the current formation that we have at the moment. Him on the right and Ramirez ( hopefully) on the left

Distinctly average player, not good enough for Liverpool and wasteful.

Not too keen on this, don't think he's good enough, rather play Morgan over him any day!

No better than cork or schneiderlin

Good player but I don't think we need him right now. We have other priorities.

Phillips is very unlikely. Dealing with Blackpool is very hard as they're refusing to talk to anyone! Would love him to sign but personally I doubt it :)
Mini-Saint
Agree5

Think you are wrong about Phillips, Mini-Saint. I'm pretty sure he will leave,as he has put in a transfer request. Once it has got to that stage clubs normally realise it's better to take the money while his value is high, rather than leave it to the next window when he could have unsettled the rest of the squad and his value will have dropped.
It could be that Blackpool try and sell him elsewhere to be stubborn, but I'm not convinced about that. I think there has been a big smoke and mirrors exercise going on from Blackpool so they can claim they tried to keep the lad but he had been got at! Supporters up they then happy, and money in the bank.
Saint Martin
Agree2
Disagree1
I really hope it does, but Blackpool are a tricky club to deal with and I don't think Holloway will allow him to leave. Guess we'll have to wait till Friday :)
Mini-Saint

The phillips deal is simple if we pay what blackpool are asking he's ours - no smoke and mirrors here
Chalkie

De Ridder didn't feature tonight-could he be part of the Phillips move?

I think the work permit is still going through so he can't yet.

Lol at me being ramirez id already have the shirt on and would be persuading suarez to buy out his contract and come to the mighty saints!!!

Can't see this happening. Birmingham are desperate to keep hold of their players and are putting stupidly high price tags on all of them.
Agree0
Disagree0
I'd rather sign a young european CB to be honest. Got lots of ex-championship players as it is, would like to be a little more ambitious. Apparently we have money, adequate wage budget and attraction to get in the likes of Ramirez, would like to see a similar ambition shown when hunting for a quality CB. There was a rumour flying around about Douglas before. Don't think it will happen, but if we got someone like that in it would be quality.

Biyik was born in France so I don't think he needs a WP

Biyik qualifies as an 'EU citizen' due to his French relations so can freely work in England.

Source from inside Southampton says that a player is set to sign later today, will post again when I know who - TJ
Believable7

My guess would be Ramirez, although I hope it is someone off the radar. Otherwise it will be typical Saints leaving the signings until last minute as ever
Agree4

Won't happen as it's a matchday. So BS in other words
Agree2

Ramirez won't officially sign until Thursday, when he comes to the UK
Agree0

I rather think at this time in the window that a cup game against stevenage wont be the number one priority....
Agree3

Gaston ramirez due to fly to southampton today to pass medical and finalise things
Agree1
Disagree1
Even if a cup game isn't 'priority' Nigel Adkins still needs to be there. So they might sign, but it won't be announced becuase they would get Adkins involved in photos and media.
Lenny
Agree2
Disagree0
Stevenage is hardly a million miles away, players can sign and have pictures well before the game.
Agree2
Disagree0
Stevenage is 2 hours away, depending on M25 being busy or not.
NA would have to be in southampton to finalise everything, adkins has a busy day and would have to leave for stevange 4 hours before kick off. cant see it happening late this afternoon/eve when rameriz is still in italy atm
Agree1
Disagree0
True adkins needs to be there but cortese doesent and he is the one dat does the transfers
Agree1
Disagree1
To be fair it could happen very late this evening when the team returns from Stevenage.
Agree1
Disagree0
It could happen tonight like the Clyne or Gazzaniga deals. They were announced the night before, but the photoshoot wasn't uploaded onto the site until the next day, due to them having to fly to Zurich to have the photos with Nigel there. The same could happen here, if Cortese or another official is in Rome or wherever Ramirez is, it can be done there and then, and made official tomorrow.
