I know that there is always the chance it is a technical glitch, BUT... No Dean Hammond amongst the player profiles on the new Saints Website. Could he be on his way somewhere?

I've found him on the website

He is on the saints player profile.paul.

Hopefully a technical glitch, Why would we sell him anyway, he's the team captain and a good player

He's on it now, even so, wouldn't be overly surprised if he left, we have 3 better CM's than him now in Schneiderlin, Davis, and Cork.
Agree3

Well, Lee's height is given as 5 foot 12 on the site, so let's not take anything there too seriously yet.
Agree7
Disagree1
5 foot 12 is 6 foot
Agree2
Disagree4
I think we've got at least 5 players to be picked in CM better than him, Schneiderlin, Cork, Davis, Lallana (played there a bit anyway) and Ward-Prowse who is very impressive.
Agree2
Disagree1
I agree Davis Morgan and corky are all head and shoulders over him .... Surely we must cash in on him now because he's not premier league and raise funds for .... Jarvis?? Not heard anything about him for a long time He's what we need !
Agree4
Disagree0
Jarvis said he wants to stay at Wolves and try to bring them back up to the Premiership. If they stay down or look bad in January then he'll look elsewhere.

Can anyone tell me what is happening with the Lens situation? Has the buttner deal 100% fallen through?

Heard the Lens should be a saints player in time for the Bristol City game, parently buttner deal has fallen through as we've got a LB from france lined up and that Maya Yoshida was scouted last night. Also saints looking at a possible deal for a St Etienne winger.
Agree2
Disagree1
Seems like they're both dead mate. Lens was named in the PSV squad for a game the other night and I think the Don has just sacked off Buttner for messing us around.
Agree3
Disagree0
Never sure about Buttner, but the Lens deal seems actually quite likely, apparently, note, apparently, a fee has been agreed and a medical will take place this weekend. Apparently.

Apparently we have shown interest in Maya Yoshida. A 23 year old Japanese centre back from dutch side Vvv-Venlo. Also linked with fulham and everton. ~Rummy

Good to see us boosting our Asian shirt sales

He sounds like one of our targets, he plays in Holland, he's in the right position... He could well be signed.
Agree2

When is NA going to pull his finger out and actually make these signings. we keep getting promised players and so far nothing has been done WE NEED DEFENDERS

Saints sent scouts to the japanese olympic game last night at ricoh area
Agree1

If Southampton are looking for a good fb, look no further than Glasgow Rangers Wallace, or Celtics Matthews, two great players and would make it in EPL, ask Steve Davis, Gers/Southampton fan
Agree4
Disagree1
If he was one of our CURRENT targets why would we be sending scouts?? If scouts are looking at players now surely it must be for the future not for the start of the coming season-otherwise our system is operating a long way behind where it should be. The areas where we need cover now should have been scouted at least three months ago.
Saint Martin

I would say I'm not sure bout the Gers/Celtic takers. I mean we've taken one from Rangers I think we should stop their even though we gave compensation. I'm not saying they are not good enough for us but I'd rather take from France/Spain/Holland/Italy cause we might get them cheaper in Europe.
Agree1
Disagree1
Any Celtic player would cost at least £6m, no matter how rubbish they are......dont know the guy but all Celtic players are worth a small fortune....according to most Celtic fans.

Richard Chaplow, 27, will snub a move to Crystal Palace to fight for his future at St Mary's. Could this bring on a bid that would involve in Zaha to southampton and Chaplow the other way? What do you all think??
Believable6
Unbelievable4
I reckon that could well happen. Palace want Chaplow, Southampton want Zaha and the clubs have resolved their issues over Clyne. I reckon Chaplow plus a few million should bag Zaha and both clubs should be happy with that.
Agree2
Disagree0
Good cm/rm cover, but we have better players. Either way, if he goes' he'll do well. Can't forget his goal against man u.
Agree3
Disagree0
If he's snubbing a move there, why would we then add him as part of a deal for Zaha? He'd just reject their contract and the deal is cancelled.
Agree4
Disagree2
I reckon he's not wanting to move cause he'd rather struggle for a place in the Premiership than struggle for a place in the Championship. If Zaha goes he'd be first choice for RM at Palace.

Southampton have recently watched Sligo Rovers David Cawley. He has previously been at Ipswich Town but injury resulted in him not being offered a new contract. He is ever present in the table topping Sligo Rovers side this year and has a great future in front of him. He was called on standby for Rep of Ireland U21 squad this week. He is a CM with an eye for goal.

By the sound of what you're saying, he won't help us much in the prem.

Are you seriously suggesting a player not good enough for Ipswich Town is good enough for us?
