Joe Aribo to sign from Rangers, looks a tidy midfielder, watched him a bit at Charlton and looked a great player. Has done very well with Rangers, £6m rising to £10m with add ons, high % sell on fee to Rangers if/when we sell him. Salisu to sign a new contract very soon. Looks like Bednarek will be the CB to move on, I guess keeping Stephens and selling Bednarek will free up some funds but still allows us to have a fairly experienced back up. Would like to see us linked with a few more attacking players. Would love to see Adamu or Madueke but think the latter would be pushing for a move slightly higher up the table. Still plenty of time left but an attacker sooner rather than later would be good so they can have a pre season.

@mlt7 agreed, we need at least 2 strikers in and ASAP! I keep hearing we are readying an offer for Neco Williams @20 million. Not sure how true that is, I personally think we have enough cover in that area. Strikers please Southampton!

Seen a lot of reports this morning that we are in for Charles De Ketelaere who can play CAM Winger and ST. Not sure how true it is as it needs to be a £30+ deal.

While I think we may need a striker,I also think we need more creativity in central midfield, someone who breaks the lines and runs past the striker. Think any striker would struggle with us at the moment.

Would love to see Tino moved into midfield . he certainly would add a lot to midfield

@SaintKenny - May need a striker? Are you joking? we currently only have Che Adams and 2 goal a season Adam Armstong in the first team and below that next in line would be Dan Nlundulu who has just gone out on loan. We have to sign strikers 100 percent, no questions. We have all but confimed Rangers Aribo so there's your creative midfielder.No onto the strikers please Southampton.

Great singed a player who got 5 assists in the Scottish league last season! Think we still need more, and hopefully giving the strikers we have better service they can get double figures.

Saintkenny 8 goals and 6 assists isn’t a bad return from someone playing centre mid

Charles de Ketelaere will be joining AC Milan I believe. Think Liam Delap is a target for us, while I agree with the strategy of signing youngsters for smaller fee’s for then sell on for big profit from a business point of view, they need to remember that this is the Premier League, it can chew you up and spit you out at any time. We need to start signing experienced players too. Delap, Che and A. Armstrong aren’t going to keep us up unfortunately. Delap and a more experienced striker is a must. Issa Kabore of Manchester City is another youngster we’re being linked too. RB, spent last season on loan at Troyes. Apparently Nottingham Forest had a £17m bid rejected for him and are now focusing their attention on Neco Williams from Liverpool. I personally wouldn’t mind taking a punt on someone like Emmanuel Dennis from Watford, at least we know he can score in the Premier League! Be interesting to see how Mr. Shields gets on over the next week or two in his new role, hopefully he realises that experience is needed within this very young squad. We really really need a attacking midfielder, we’ve never really replaced Dusan Tadic, I know he was a frustrating character at times but my god could he be a game changer when he showed up. Another Dusan please Mr. Shields!

Thanks mlt7 for update.
Is it just me or do others rate Dan Nlundulu whose gone out on loan to Cheltenham Town?
I’ve always thought he looked a handful (in a Broja sort of way) and had the potential to do well. He’s 23, physically tall, strong and I think would be worth a place on our bench certainly in front of one or two others we could all name.
Maybe the loan is his last chance to prove himself.
Maybe I’m just a lousy judge of forwards - I didn’t rate Shearer much in his first full season as a youngster at Saints!
