The Roberto Firmino rumour, is complete rubbish, I know it's In the echo but I'm 90% sure it won't happen. Would love Wellington Nem, who wouldn't but I think it's a bit too ambitious at this time. Callejón makes sence to me. He used to play for Espanyol and is now at Madrid with Mourinho who's friends with Pochettino obviously. Personally I think he'd be a better signing than Coutinho because he is older and has already developed. Could be signed on loan. Ed what do you think are chances are of getting Callejón? Cutinho deal obviously dead now.

I love how now that you've realised Coutinho didn't want to play for you all of a sudden he's rubbish. I bet when the penny drops and you realise Callejon has no interest in switching to Southampton you'll be saying the same thing.

Agree4 Disagree4

Who really cares who we get? If it's an improvement at a fair price then good. I think Wellington Nem would be our best bet being currently at Fluminese and probably quite willing to move to the Premiership at a not too expensive price.

Just like forren and ramirez lol!!

Ps. I would like the guy to join saints but if you look into it apparently we havnt shown any interest since summer but have been used as a way to push up how much you offer. Even this could be bull but either way good player for the future whoever gets him and it's probally liverpool

Agree2 Disagree0

I don't think anyone has said he's rubbish. I think everyone agrees there's a certain amount of risk with someone like him. But. I have no doubt he will be a good signing for you.

In what part of that post did I say that Coutinho was rubbish?!?!

ref. coutinho, surely if a footballer really wants to go to a certain club (lfc) but the club are stalling over a million pounds then he could put up the rest of the money himself and get want he wants. I wouldn't like to take the risk of him not putting in 100% every game and in the back of my mind thinking he wishes to be elsewhere.
I do like the idea saints are starting to look at young skillful players, imagine if we get lucky with one and sign the next messi. You never know we might one day sign messi we do have a history of signing the best player in europe.

I'm totally relaxed about Coutinho 'cos firmly believe our first 11 more than capable of survival. Any additions are purely squad strengthening with a view to the future. That said, can anyone quote me what he actually said re Liverpool. All i've read is that he 'reportedly' prefers Liverpool.

Not bothered about Coutinho or Liverpool. Plenty of talent out there for that sort of money. Coutinho is unproven at top level.

If Liverpool get Coutinho, good for them, 1 out of 3 ain't bad.

All this banter with Liverpool is pointless. Just let Cortese do the talking just like the last 3 years. We'll see who's right :)

Just think we have what we need but need a bit of luck. Adam Lallana could become a hero under Mauricio what a great talent who has been wasted over the last couple of years. A true Southampton man and and sets an example to all the money grabbing players out there.
