saints are still looking at every player from every club because that's just who we are. or we've finished this window unless something pops up which won't be till deadline day

We don't need anyone else really. We have made 3 very good signings and the team looks great. If the right things come up, we could make another signing, but I don't think much is likely to go on this window or in January unless circumstances change.

Lets face it - us fans don't have a clue what's going on right now.

Banega still possible he was always top of Poch's list.

It's now been announced that Scott Sinclair has signed for west brom on a season long loan. Not too disappointed by this

Good I would rather have Nani. I cannot believe we have not signed him. He is class

I can believe we haven't signed Nani, he has a very high wage and is at United.

Radio interview: Pochettino confirmed Puncheon joined Palace on loan for "personal reasons" but also that the arrival of Osvaldo could see him alter their formation.

"With the arrival of Dani Osvaldo, Puncheon realised his chances of getting in the team were greatly reduced, " he added.

"Ward Prowse played very well at West Brom. He has the technique and the ability to play anywhere in midfield, so we are very happy and pleased with him and hope he continues the trajectory he is on. "

Meanwhile, Pochettino has confirmed that the club's record signing Osvaldo is fit to play after his arrival on Monday and also says he could be involved at the weekend against Sunderland.

The Argentinian hinted the club would not be adding any more players before the end of the transfer window after a summer of heavy investment.

"Dani is fit, he played an international match last week but he needs to integrate himself into our structure and learn how we play.

"We always keeping an eye out on the market but it clear we've achieved our goals, which was to reinforce every single position in the starting 11, so we are very pleased. "

Makes sense. Short of Banega asking, I didn't think we would. It's a shame that we won't have the AM we so desperately need but I think we should be proud of who we have. We have players who are worth more than we have spent in total since we were created!
Really impressed with NC getting who he has and really hopeful that these players are going to do well.

To the OP, don't see that comment as a hint at all (smokescreen, yes. ) Last two weeks of the window are difficult with prices likely to become silly so I believe that MP is now being very careful not to indicate that Saints may be after anyone else. Still think there is one (maybe two) more to be completed.

Saint Martin

Nah we won't sign anyone else this window at least. I think he will now leave it until jan and see if anyone becomes available that will only enhance the sqaud (honda on a free maybe) but unless something goes wrong before the window shuts don't get your hopes up

mackem fan here are you all bricking it at the thought of altidore turning ya defence over

{Ed030's Note - Osvaldo and Lambert will pose more of a threat to the Sunderland defense then Altidore will to the Southampton defense in my opinion. }

Only one player to turn our defence we got a lot more than one threat lol p. s your name ain't Rodney by any chance is it?

Got to agree with ed there mate I don't think you will find any saints fans bricking it over this fixture get ready for the southampton show my friend

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. The only thing Altidore could turn over is the all you can eat buffet.

You must be referring to the way that Man. City/Liverpool/Chelsea turned our defence over at the end of last season-and then of course we have weakened it since with the signing of Lovren and Wanyama!LOL

Saint Martin

The short awnser is no. If you get a point you've done very well. Beware the lambo, he's coming for you!

Suprised the sunderlasnd fan wasnt too embarrassed by how good he thinks altidore is and how ed knew sunderland weren't much of a threat

Altidore is a good signing, he may have scored a lot in the erdivive but we have signed Pablo Osvaldo, the 3rd top scorer in Italy, we have Ricky Lambert who was joint 6th top scorer in the prem, who do you reckon will do better, hmmm

Am a geordie and I hope southampton destroy sunderland coz they think there going to win the league with di nazio

Like Anelka, one game against Saints and he will have to retire!

Altidore is a pile of sh*t sunderlands only decent player is giacherinni and he can't win a game on his own. you really tore fulham a new one lol

Scott Sinclair having a medical at West Brom this morning. If we're still looking for players, we won't be getting Sinclair.

I have seen on SW that we are after a defender.
