is there any truth that aaron cresswell is
signing for saints
or is it the same old bullsh##
would be great if it was true

Why would we need another left back who tbh isn't even as good as our cover

Agree3 Disagree7

Fox is not Premier League standard. In fact he would find it challenging in the Championship!

Agree14 Disagree10

Fox is a good Championship left back. He would have little trouble finding a team in that league. The BPL is just one level to far for him though.

Fox looked good for us in the Championship.

I have been told by a source close to the deal that SFC have made a bid for Feyenoord captin Stefan de Vrij. The deal is in excess of 15Million Euros.

Believable2 Unbelievable19

What position does he play?

Agree6 Disagree5

He's a centre back

Agree9 Disagree2

I would absolutely love this. He is real quality.

Agree6 Disagree3

Good player. I think if we do sign another CB we should get rid of Hoovield.

Agree12 Disagree3

Dont think we need him

Agree5 Disagree8

More importantly, Lauro has reverted to form and predicts a 2-0 win for Norwich. It's in the bag!

Agree11 Disagree4

I've seen this too but only by virtue that Liverpool are apparently after him too. which means of course that by default we must be too?!

Agree1 Disagree2

I heard Hoovield's on his way

Agree3 Disagree3

Id be gutted if I way Jack Stephens or Jordan Turnbull! This is not true as saints have 3 good central defenders & 2 excellent prospects to bring through. This guy would only hamper their development & that's not the saints way

Agree1 Disagree5

If there is any truth in this, he would be a great signing. 21 and captaining his team.
If Stephens and Turnbull are good enough MP will make sure they get their chance, but they aren't good enough this season.
We definitely short of a quality defender and its already been proved that Fonte and Hooiveld, though committed, are not good enough against the top sides.
Bring it on. Another star of the future for Saints please with de Vrij!

Agree6 Disagree2

15m Euros is a lot for a CB.

Hope it's true, but not disappointed if not. Think there are good CBs available for half that.

Plus MP has said he is happy with the squad, so can't see him spaffing 15m on a CB. Maybe a good bargain under 10m.

Agree7 Disagree2

Nonsense. We don't have enough room left to afford his wages under the FFP rules.
Saint Raj.

Agree0 Disagree4

^ understand the rule before you say that

Agree4 Disagree1

Ah saint raj if you could just outline exactly saints official income and from which areas its generated that'd be great seeing as how you seem to know of course.

Agree3 Disagree0

Liverpool want sakho and llori which would suggest they're not after de vrij
