We were linked with him last summer, good player by all accounts !
Agree2

Saints were in for him last season. The move fell down because NC wouldn't pay the players home town club I think. It was well reported. Doubt we'd go back after that debacle.

Heard the same rumour last summer, would be fantastic, young and experience of international football. Also Mariappa or Ayman Abdennour are rumoured

Saw him play in the game against bayern munich this season. really good player, i highly rate him

We nearly signed him last year but the deal fell through. After which he said it would be apsolutely impossible for any deal to Southampton to happen
Agree3
Disagree1
I think he said that the version of the contract he was asked to sign had been edited to remove the figure his home town club would get...and on asking he was basically told it wasnt his business...he obviously thought it was and that saints had not acted in an honerable way

Hopefully, after signing J Rod, our next signing will be Jarvis from Wolves 5m + 1.5m adds on maybe and a decent CB, Roger Johnson, Scott Dann or Curtis Davies. Then definately Danny Guthrie on free transfer

Unbelievable5
Guthrie definetly be we need bargains and not waste money
Knight free maybe clyne free etc
Agree4

Hope so!! ^ Jarvis would be great, Guthrie good on a free, and would like Johnson and Scott dann tbh
Agree3
Disagree1
Ince instead of Jarvis, not roger Johnson someone from Europe
Agree7
Disagree3
Roger johnson is not a good CB he gets teams relegated
Agree7
Disagree2
Reading the best in the championship last season,also they have made a bid for dame n'doye and are in talks with curtis davis and jaime o'hara
Agree0
Disagree9
I have always liked Jarvis and think he has always looked like wolves best play and think he would fit in well higher up the prem so would be a good addition
Agree6
Disagree0
Not roger Johnson, don't need anyone with poor atitude need players who will fight for the cause as it will b long hard season
Agree5
Disagree3
Johnson has had a shocking season, no thanks
Agree6
Disagree1
Funny this business of Reading being "in talks" with everyone, when they have been keen to point out that all their signings are done on the quiet and no-one will know until they are completed. I think there is a sense of concern amongst certain sectors!
Agree5
Disagree0
We're only talking about players we know
NA will sign someone quality that we've never heard of like he did with hooiveld!
Let's just wait until we actually make a move for players and stop making unrealistic stuff up
Agree5
Disagree1
Sorry mate but I don't care what Reading are doing... this is a Saints rumour page.

Hooiveld was hardly unheard of now to be fair

Saints are looking at Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt as a long term holding midfield signing. Are considering offering Brighton Billy Sharp as a makeweight as he has not settled at St Marys and finds himself behind Lambert, Rodriguez and Lee in the striker pecking order. Source is my friend who is involved in the coaching set up - admittedly at youth level, but who has heard it talked about a lot in the last couple of days

Unbelievable24
Billy wont be going anywhere mate.
Agree12
Disagree2
Sharp not settled you are kidding me just look at his twitter page he's lovin it and scored 8 in 8 at the end of the season definately a place in the squad for him, rod, lambo and lee if anyone leaves up front it'll be guly and barnard.
Agree15
Disagree2
Worst rumour ever?
Agree15
Disagree1
I hope so. Shame to lose Billy, but Bridcutt has always looked classy when we've played em
Agree3
Disagree8
No chance, billy sharp scored 9 goals in 9 games for us at the end of season he helped are promotion push! If anyone it would be lee barnard but even that is unrelistic we need good players witch meens no brighton players. Lol
Agree10
Disagree0
Why would Saints be looking for a holding midfield player-they already have quite a number who fall into that bracket. What they need is a class, attacking central midfield player, so we can increase our attacking options.
Agree6
Disagree0
^ Don't think we'll buy any CMs unless we sell 1 or an Adkins target is readily available. Also depends on the formation Adkins plays next season. If we play with 2 wingers and 2 strikers in the Prem, can we really also play with an attacking midfielder? I suspect the 2nd striker will be our 'attacking midfielder'.
Agree3
Disagree2
Funniest story I have read since what was the Daily Sport ran a story a few years ago (we were still at the Dell) stating that "Saints were trying to sign Siamese twins". If Sharp isn't happy at Southampton then sure won't be happy in Brighton
Agree5
Disagree0
They would be lookingn at one because the ones we have are sh1t.
Agree1
Disagree5
We wouldnt have got automatic promotion was in not for Billys sharpness over the last 11 r 12 games a pure poacher and pure nonsense of a post to start with... NA knows more than anyone about Sharp..

Butland?

A bid was made for but land but it wasn't accepted not near the 3 million being quoted very likely we will go back in for him again with an improved offer as we was testing birminghams resolve.

On closer scrutiny was one of the I assume players with Rodrigues none other than Aymen Abdenour a tunisian Saints have been linked with through Jaidi.

Who were the two I assume they were foreign players possibly from Africa one looked Moroccan or Algerian the other possibly french west Africa holding a southampton scarf with Rodrigues during his interview after signing? It looks as if the Saints video people have let the cat out of the bag prematurely and given us advance information as to who Saints are recruiting for the Premiership.Anybody know who they were?
Believable3
Unbelievable9
There was no one else other than jay rod
Agree2

One was Ade Akinbiyi, his agent.
Agree4

Where I is picture or video the players have been seen
Agree0
Disagree1
Where are the pictures of this then?
Agree0
Disagree1
The guy on the right of RodrigueZ was Ade Akinbiyi (former player) and how Jay´s agent. No idea who the guy on the left was but he looks way to old to be a player.
Agree3
Disagree1
Where can u see the video of this?
Agree0
Disagree1
The guy on the right of Jay RodrigueZ was Ade Akinbiyi (former player and now Jay's agent). I very much doubt the guy on the left is a player - looks too old and overweight
Agree3
Disagree1
The guy with Jay holding the scarf, was Akinbyi, his agent, ex bristol city / leicester striker.
Agree3
Disagree2
The pictures are on an interview with jay on Saints player. Those who dont have the player cant access the film end of.
Agree3

The guy on the left of Jay Rod is Ade Akinbuyi and on the right is his dad
