Pochettino is interested in signing young Uruguayan Abel Hernandez in an attempt to encourage Gaston to stay. Rumoured to be lining up an �8-10 million bid.

Mayo Saint

Believable3 Unbelievable12

Gaston has (apparently) already expressed his desire to remain at Southampton for next season. I think we will buy players to support our attacking options and probably will get some of South American origin because Pochettino knows the market well. But it won't be to convince Ramirez to stay.

Agree10 Disagree3

He is a Striker and he didn't score last season, would be quite worried about signing him!

Agree6 Disagree3

Gaston gave a recent fairly indpeth interview in which he makes clear that he wishes to remain at saints to, in his words" repay the faith the club has shown to him". He has had a tough season from family bereavement to troubles adjusting to life in england & the club has supported him through all of this. Watch out for signings to compliment his style of play & next season will be a great season for him

Agree8 Disagree2

At the moment though, the person we closest to signing is Uruguayan winger Gonzalo Bueno who is on verge. Ramirez has also announced that he wants to experience another prem season. This move for Bueno would also help him decide whether to stay at saints

Agree1 Disagree4

Gaston said he is exited to stay as saints are on verge of signing Gonzalo Bueno, nicknamed 'el zorro'.
"I know him well. He has great quality and he would give us a helping hand if he came to Southampton, " added Ramirez

Agree4 Disagree1

Whats your sauce 'Mayo Saint'? :p ;p

Southampton have shown interest in Lukaku as Chelsea look to sell him due to Cavani's moving to Chelsea in the near future. I think its very unlikely but if we got him he would be a fantastic signing.

Believable9 Unbelievable6

He's apparently had talks with Mourinho and he, according to the TV News website (because of the censorship I recall this site having I can't actually say the name of the site which actually I fully support because otherwise it could be a method of free advertising), is going to be staying at Stamford Bridge to seek out opportunity as part of Mourinho's plans.

Agree2 Disagree6

If we are purely listening to press then Chelsea are trying to sign Hulk & Cavani. Torres isn't leaving and they have Ba. Lukaku is a smart lad and has said all the right things to show loyalty to the club but he must know he isn't going to get a regular run this season. He has also said he wants games so that he is at top form for Brazil next year. This leads to him going out on loan for another season. Why not Saints?

Agree5 Disagree2

This isn't actually that unfeasible. It is fairly well known that mopo, jose & pep are close friends so "mates favours" could possibly happen I guess!

Agree3 Disagree3

There is no such thing as mates rates in business, so your deluded if you think Jose will do us any favours

Agree2 Disagree4

Erm I beg to differ. a lot of teams form good relationships i. e. a bit of a parent club.

Agree1 Disagree1

I've read in tv this morning that Jose wants to keep him but is considering letting Ba go.

Agree2 Disagree1

^Course there are! Happens all the time in football

Agree2 Disagree1

Can't see NC changing his policy re. loans. Maybe if and when injuries/suspensions take their toll, but in the summer window? Don't think so. He is trying to build a squad for the future and doesn't seem to believe that loans help this process.

Saint Martin

Agree1 Disagree1

^^jose and mopo are friends. and mopo and pep are friends but Jose and pep are definately not friends. not by a long shot!

Agree2 Disagree1

^No one said mates rates. But there is such a thing as good relationships in business and they can be key.

We might not get players cheap, but with regard to football transfers a lot of business is who you know as well as how much you are willing to pay.

MoPo's relationship with Jose Mourinho could be beneficial as if Chelsea do want to let players go and MoPo expresses interest to Jose personally, he might get a heads up regarding availability of players.

Agree2 Disagree1

I have posted this previously but I know for a fact that Chelsea are talking to saints about including him in a deal for shaw. could be loan or perm but this is the only way saints are willing to listen. lots of ifs and buts at the moment.

Agree0 Disagree1

Lukaku and Shaw? could business be done?

Shaw is great but at the end of the day he is a left back, putting the ball in the back of the net will always be the main thing, and Chelsea have a number of options there.

Agree0 Disagree1

Sorry, but posts do start to fall down when you try and justify a Shaw move supported by Lukaku and stating putting balls in the back of the net!
Saints already have options with attacking ability, but the current weakness is some of them still require the EPL experience to be able to regularly put the ball in the back of the net-EXACTLY LIKE LUKAKU. This is why the guy has been out on loan, and may still find himself in that position next season. Not what Saints need at the moment, so either we have some more Chelsea fans on here trying to be clever or some of our own who are getting a little carried away. IMHO.

Cortese is looking to try and buy Sorresen from Bolgona as he is wanting a move away to the premier league. Stoke have also showed interest.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

This is a recycled rumour. Then again they come thick and fast.

Source at the stadium has told me we are close to re-signing Jacob Mellis. Think this could be a great signing.

Basketball Aidan

Believable3 Unbelievable15

Stick to basketball mate

Agree15 Disagree3

Aidan mate what are you on? he was very average when he was on loan last time! Hows the weather in poopey today?

Agree6 Disagree2

Hope not don't really want a guy that gets arrested for fighting with his missus and isn't that good.

Agree5 Disagree2

Well, he wasn't that great when he was with us before, was he?

Agree5 Disagree1

Why would anyone at the stadium know?

Agree5 Disagree1

He wasn't good enough when he was Southampton before and he's no better now

Agree5 Disagree1

Jacob mellis lol he was such a star for us in league 1

Agree5 Disagree1

Lol league 1 player. we are beyond that with the stated ambitions

Agree5 Disagree1

He was rubbish for us and that was in league 1

According to the sun, we are going after Raul Baena. He is a central defensive midfielder who plays for Espanol. He is 24 and if we got him it would be a free transfer. What do you think about this?

Believable5 Unbelievable3

MP seemed to like him at Espanyol. Not sure if he's good enough to be anything more than backup on the bench though

Agree3 Disagree1

This is probably made up given the source of the information. But would be an alright shout for a bench player. Doubt he'd replace Cork or Schneiderlin though.

Agree2 Disagree0

I think Ward-Prowse will step up next season and we won't need anyone else, also Steven Davis can put in a shift there.
BB

Agree4 Disagree1

Has everyone forgotten about injuries and suspension?

Agree1 Disagree0

We have cork, Morgan, Davis + JWP as CM with Guly, Lallana and Ramirez all capable of playing in CM too, not to mention the academy players (gape, robinson + moore) and Hammond + chaplow should they stay. We're okay for backup, the only CM's we'll sign will be better than Cork and Morgan

Agree1 Disagree1

Of those you have listed only Morgan and Cork are defensive midfielders so we need cover and competition for those two. We have suffered when either one of them is missing from the team.

"Saints are to look to fiorentian winger Juan Manuel Vargas to add depth and quality to their wingers. "

AKelly90

Believable3 Unbelievable6

He's class but I'd rather sign a younger player

Agree3 Disagree1

If you're going to make something up, at least make it interesting? At 29 and after a season blighted by multiple injuries, 20 appearances and one goal/assist, I'm sure he is just the sort of player for Saints? Doh!
