David Marshall to southampton for 8 million could be the best signing so far for southampton why this is going on what's you opinions on david marshall and 8 million? do you think he will be a great signing? and if it was you how much would you pay for him. I would pay up to 10 million then look else where.

David Marshall by far is the best keeper in this country. You know I think we might get him for under 10 mill. That is a bargain.

Agree0 Disagree0

Marshall is nowhere near the best in the country! Cech, Lloris, Krul, Howard. There are so many brilliant goalkeepers in the Premier Leage, Marshall was brilliant for Cardiff & saved them from what could've been huge score lines, however he is nowhere near the best in the county.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can we agree to disagree Finn but I think if we don't sign him we will have missed the boat. Only reason he is not classed as the top keeper is because he played for Cardiff. Look deeper into his stats and let me know if you've changed your mind.

Hi everyone just posting my opinion of people who I'd like to join southampton.

1. Pelle
2. Lukaku
3. aremro (Colombian LB)
4. Witsel
5. De vrij

If we were to get these guys I would be the happiest guy in the world Ino we probably won't sign as many as 6 players this summer but who knows :)

Any updates about Pelle? Seems to have died a death

Is it just me or does anyone else wonder what Ralph Krueger actually does at Southampton on a day to day basis. he's got no executive experience so does he wander about patting people on the head while preaching to them about positive thinking. what a waste of money.

Agree0 Disagree0

@Ruffhead: No Grenier? Thought you wanted him more than anyone but good list none the less.

For me:

Axel Witsel - Zenit - £15M
Alexandar Mitrović - Anderlecht - £6M
Jonathon Tah - Hamburg - £4M
Domenico Berardi - Juventus - £8M
Bruno Ecúele Manga - Lorient - £6M
Graziano Pellè - Feyenoord - £9M
Terence Kongolo - Feyenoord - £4M
Total is £52M + 10 (ish) for Tadić = £62M (Luke & Adam)

I would expect Yoshida and probably Lovren to leave too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Finn, I am not sure whether or not you will really see this as a major problem but I do. The centre halves you seem to want to bring in are 2 very young players along with one with a little more experience. But to be honest that would leave us with a vulnerable centre back pairing as we wouldn't have much experience particularly of this league.

Also I think we'd be lucky to get such nice prices for them all but could see us getting a few of these guys in and they all could have a positive influence at least.

A bit disappointed with the Tadic interview on the official website. Seems like he can't emphasise enough that he sees Saints as a stepping stone and a great place to showboat his talent ready for a bigger team to notice him.

What do u expect I think all players wanna play for one of the giants of the game

Agree0 Disagree0

he didn't quite say that but what do you expect. If Saints don't get serious and start competing at the top he will be off plus quite a few others.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jul 2014 22:41:19
Come on - how pessimistic are you lot! he's just signed and wants to be here. Be happy for once!

Agree0 Disagree0

As English is his second language, I think he was struggling to express himself, I did`nt get that from his interview that he saw us that way, hope not anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

Watch the interview on the other website. He comes over completely differently and has his heart on his sleeve to do well for us. What is wrong with you lot.

Tadic Officially Signs.

Hopefully the first of many, the quality needs to be of the same standard.

realy hope saints are playing hardball with lovren
lallana was bad enough with his attitude
lovren slagging saints and saying he will go on strike is a whole different ball game
hit him hard in the pocket with fines and do NOT SELL him to liverpool
sell him abroad just to really piss him off

I'd like to see Lovren work in the club shop. The really early shifts. Maybe even night duties with a broom!

Sure we could do with £20 - £25M but he's totally taking the p*** out of a club that has upped his profile massively. He needs to be shown what loyalty is about and the punishment for slagging the club off should be firm. F+++ him. Nobody is irreplaceable. Onwards and upwards. COYS

The Management need to be congratulated thus far for holding out and not making it easy for Lovren.

Agree0 Disagree0

if liverpool offer 25 million for lovren
saints say oh its gone up to 30 million now
just so his ass and the rest of him don't join his big head
in liverhampton
just really really piss him off like he has the saints fans
foretsaint

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd like Saint Moose to lead any further negotiations please, we are Saints FC and our employees (players) need to show some respect - make it so difficult for Lovern to move, let's dig our heels in and say no!

FC Twente are looking at him as a replacement for Tadic.
