Finally seen some positive info on Saints. If Koeman is to be named Manager then he could be bringing Graziano Pelle with him. Scored 55 goals in 66 games for Feyenoord in the last two seasons. Really hoping for Koeman now.

Yeah he's who I'm rooting for. GO KOEMAN!

Ed002 - seems to me you don't really like what you do, very down on people. If it's that bad why bother?

{Ed002's Note - You have no idea what I do. Idiot.}

Superb 10 seconds of your life posting that, completely unrelated to saints, rumours or anything of interest

Stop having a go at the Ed's!

exactly leave the eds alone, jesus some mothers do have em.

Is it any wonder Ed0002 is a bit short with some of the members. 90% of posts are utter gash!

I genuinely wonder what goes through some peoples heads. Does whatever the ed spends his time doing when he's not doing this for free in his own time, matter one squirt of piddle? No? Didn't think so.
It must feel like baby sitting sometimes

Imagine the garbage they delete

Leave the eds alone in the time of the year where the job they do is hard and stupied posters making it harder I am getting just as pissed as the eds listening to people moaning about them so leave and don't come back

What I believe, is that lallana does want to leave saints. Above poster is right. Now to the politics, When lallana signed his five year deal, in the contract would have been a very healthy signing on fee, which is spread out in instalments over the length of the contract. If he were to be sold, he would get this paid up in full. If he were to hand in a transfer request, he wouldn't be entitled to this. Saints want Liverpool cover lallanas signing on fee, or lallana must hand in a transfer request. I can see either of these to things happening, AFTER the World Cup due to media involvement.
1. Lallana officially asks for a move, saints reluctantly sell.
2. New manager persuades lallana not to leave, maybe sign an improved contract similar to the benteke/Rooney saga
3. We dig in our heels, refuse to sell, similar to Suarez and bale.

Dane for shaw, although I feel utd haven't met what we believe the player is worth. Apparently the offer is made up of bonuses unlikely to happen.

{Ed002's Note - So you think Southampton will drop their price if he hands in a transfer request?}

The problem isn't whether or not the player wants to stay or go, or whether the club is willing or unwilling to sell. It's simply that no club is willing to match Southampton's valuation (so far) and Saints show no sign of lowering there valuation as it is not absolutely necessary we sell him. The only way he gets sold is if Southamptons valuation is met and little else will influence this.

The solution is with Adam. If he wants to leave and join Liverpool then he has to convince them he is worth the fee Saints want (and not based on silly add ons.) If he performs in Brazil then he may do this. But then he needs to think about Liverpool without Suarez and Gerrard starting into the hot flushes-not the prospect the media would like to present, but IMO the reality of the situation.

Ronald MacKoeman is being slightly less backed and Felix is taking money - now der Mac is only 7. 3 times more likely / favourite than der Cat.

I think Fulham have said no to talking to him so he would have to quit to talk to saints so quite risky for him as not guaranteed to get the job

Got to the point where I don't care who it is. please let's just get it sorted!

It's only been a week patience
