Southampton ins:
Lukas Jutweikzc 800k or 500k + seaborne
Chris Humphrey, James Henry or Anthony Pilkington
Jack Cork by the end of the week
Adkins is also in the market for a centre back and possibly a full back
Cortese also is keen on foreign midfielders from Serie A with his Italian contacts

This must be the third week in a row that we are going to sign "Jack Cork by the end of the week", personally I think any deal that may have been on the table has fallen through.

Southampton are close to signing Honduran striker Walter Martinez from Beijing Guoan. I believe this to be a permanent deal but it could initially be a loan.

Jack Cork has until Thursday to decide whether or not to join Saints, with the squad flying out to Switzerland on Friday. Blackpool have held preliminary talks with Corks agent about a deal but the Southampton deal is the only concrete offer on the table for him.

An approach for Patrick Kisnorbo was rejected by Leeds.

I haven't heard from this source for quite a while and only once before when he informed me on the Dan Seaborne deal a few days before public confirmation.

Southampton have made their 3rd substantial bid for Nicky Maynard, at the moment this is ''on the table'' at Bristol City, neither rejected or accepted.

Bristol City are waiting to hear back from his agent regarding their contract offer, if this is rejected expect our offer to be accepted.

Here is some stuff I heard from the mouth of one of Saints' first team coaches, who I was talking to during a golfing society event.

Southampton are looking to Serie A once again for a signing with Nicola Cortese having a few good contacts at boardroom level over there. The player in question is Romanian U-21 star Denis Alibec from Inter. A fee has been agreed and the player is going to be in the city in the next couple of days to undergo a medical and sign a 3 year deal.

Another deal that will go through is the signing of Innocent Emeghara of Grasshoppers. The deal was rumoured in swiss press a couple of weeks ago, but the talk died down. However, Southampton came back with an improved offer and now the two clubs are ironing out the details.

The club did also inquire about Xherdan Shaqiri of FC Basel, but didn't get far as some of Europe's biggest clubs are in a bidding war for the player.

I was also told that that Cork aside, Adkins may look solely to the continent for any other squad improvements this summer as he feels that while he has a sizeable transfer budget, he believes that English clubs are asking for too much money for their players.

The example I was given was Bristol City wanting £6.5m for Nicky Maynard where Saints were thinking nearer £4million.

There are strong rumours circulating this morning that saints are about to sign Andy Johnson from Fulham. Fact.

If this is a fact surely it can be backed up with some evidence? Allegedly spotted leaving st marys yesterday by one person surely does not constitute this
