Nathaniel Clyne is the next player to move to Southampton after Crystal Palace accepted a 'mutual fee' this evening.

My source says that Aaron Martin going the other way is part of the agreement.

More to follow.

Palace said last week they are not selling at any price, this deal will not happen

How is this possible ? clyne has been released by crystal palce so is available on a free.. so your sorce is wrong, 1) why would we agree a fee with palce when hes no longer there? 2) no need to send arron martin there as part of a deal, as clyne is a free agent {Ed001's Note - he is not released by Palace, they offered him a new deal, he rejected it, so he is now a free agent. But, because he is under the age of 24, Palace will be due a fee when he signs for someone else.}

No palace didnt say that

Clyne will go, if not to Saints then somewhere else.

Which is why I said a 'mutual fee' has been agreed.

He will go for peanuts if it goes to a tribunal so Saints made an offer in the hope to avoid all the tribunal etc

Wednesday will be the day that something will happen.

Clyne is one of the hottest properties outside of the premier league. Why would Palace release him. {Ed001's Note - they didn't have a choice, he was out of contract and refused to sign a new one.}

Would love Clyne, fits the mould of what NC wants, top young football stars that are hard working and passionate with no ego. But big rumours that MAN U have been wanting this lad will mean we will loose out!

You can say what you want but there's no way Clyne will be joining Southampton on Wednesday or any other day - The Fact that Palace have Aaron Martin on loan has no relevance whatsoever.

^ Considering he hasn't signed a new deal, Crystal Palace are most probably making the most of the offer by getting the loan signing maybe discounted (Aaron Martin) and as much money from Southampton.

Clyne is a free agent, so it is now a matter of who he will sign for.
Will he opt for someone like Man. Utd. and sit on the bench for a year or two, or will he opt to join a Premiership club where he will be given a real chance on the pitch?
He is free to make that choice. If he is the sort of character to go for the quick bucks and risk his future, you are right he will not sign for Saints, but then if that is in his make up, we wouldn't want him.

And you can say what you like, but you cant 100% rule out the move.

Clyne is not a free transfer

Free agent-not free transfer. A fee will be required, but it will be nominal if it has to be fixed at a tribunial. Otherwise, it can be agreed between clubs, but will still be modest compared to a player being under contract.

The guy on the right looks nothing like Akinbiyi who is nigerian. This guy is not a nigerian for starters. The other is either tunisian algerian or morrocan and has the skin tone of someone who ir north african. I should know I live in southern Portugal.

Raidi Jahdi will help Saints try to land Aymen Abdennour who is a talented Tunisian Intl centre back currently with Toulouse. If we get him this will be a real capture as he is a rising star in the French league.

J Rod has now signed for southampton, its on the os

Yes come jay rod and lambert will be great hops we can sign zak knight

And sure enough, Chaplow did not go the other way! I expect this has shut a few people up....

Brilliant news, doesn't this make us the first team to do any meaningful business this summer? Clearly the Don is a machine who needs no sleep let alone a summer holiday.

Doesent put much of a spring in the step already had good options up front we need CB LB RB and a class midfielder who can open up defences.

Oh so negative

Season starts in august not june, chill out !

We're the third team to do any meaningful business:
Hazard -> Chelsea
Kagawi (or whatever his name is) -> Man Utd
But yeah, we're the first REAL team with REAL supporters who actually live within a county of the clubs stadium to do any real business!!
COYR!

Rodriguez is a fantastic signing make no mistake. We do need to strengthen other areas already highlighted and the fact we spent such a large sum on one player would suggest there is more transfer money available. Fingers crossed.

Saints looking to get Ronald Zubar in from relegated Wolves. He is a powerful right back who can also play centre back.

If he didnt get in the team t wolves why would we want him

He's awful!! Complete tosh!

No, we'll be signing Clyne

You won't be signing Clyne

Aaron martins departure, coupled with Radhi Jaidi’s retirement, leaves us with just three senior centre backs in their squad – Jose Fonte, Jos Hooiveld and Dan Seaborne.

Reinforcement is needed, and it is clear that allowing Martin to go means the club soon plan to boost numbers in that department.

We have already been linked with a host of centre backs this summer.

Blackburn’s Scott Dann is a notable name, with Rovers’ relegation from the Premier League likely to mean his departure from Ewood Park.

Zat Knight, who is out of contract at Bolton this summer and is yet to sign a new deal, is another who has been linked, as has Zak Whitbread, who was released by Norwich.

Birmingham’s Curtis Davies, Stoke’s Matthew Upson and even USA international Geoff Cameron, of Houston Dynamo, have all been rumoured to be on the club’s radar too.

Yes, I have read the papers too!

But, as with most of their "informed" information I believe they are not too accurate and I suspect additions into the CBs will come from overseas.

Adkins wants the team to be able to play out of defence and I am not too convinced UK centre backs are the best at that.

Watched euros last night would be good to get simon kjear of wolfsburg

Daily echo by any chance
