What's happened to this Michu guy? Thought the deal was pretty much done??

Believable4 Unbelievable9

Were did you hear that, we haven't even bid for him

Agree5 Disagree3

Most of the papers said we wanted him and were favorates to land him. but now i think it wont happen

Agree4 Disagree1

I think he fell over a banana skin on his way to Southampton

Agree4 Disagree4

Ed last transfer gossip on Michu was around 23 May. Anything other than wishful thinking you can update us on?
Stussy {Ed001's Note - I haven't heard anything, his agent was the one linking him with everyone and his dog.}

steven davis is on his way to southampton for talks tomorrow if all goes well will be unveilled on wedesnday although liverpool also want talks with the former rangers captian

Believable11 Unbelievable12

Haha hes signed for FC Sion couple of days ago, so loving the rumor. lol

Agree5 Disagree10

Davis didnt go to fc soin that was kyle lafferty
davis would be a great addition to the squad

Agree7 Disagree1

Wrong! Kyle Lafferty has signed for FC Sion, not Steven Davis.

Agree7 Disagree0

That was kyle lafferty

Agree8 Disagree1

No Kyle Lafferty went to FC Sion! Davis is going to us, Liverpool or Villa

Agree4 Disagree1

He hasn't officially signed for anyone but FC Sion are close to wrapping up a deal

Agree1 Disagree3

Kyle Lafferty went to sion if you read the papers correctly it would be a good start

Agree4 Disagree0

Davis to sion is 99% done. hes verbally agreed to join, and will sign in coming days once back from his holiday

Agree1 Disagree3

The guy who said Davis to Sion, then got told it was Lafferty, now making up that its another deal 99% done. Brilliant. He will go to the prem.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stephen Whittaker showing as signed for FC Sion, alongside Lafferty. But no mention of Steven Davis yet on their fan sites / home page.
Stussy {Ed001's Note - Whittaker signed for Norwich.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha ha - your right ed. So much for the Fifa home page headline about 2 hours ago!

Believable4 Unbelievable15

Please le god i hope he goes to stoke he is pants. We need a better class of centre half than him. Coyr

Agree9 Disagree4

Scott dann is a great player and if hes so crap why did the likes of arsenal and liverpool want him before he went to blackburn

If the likes of arsenal wanted him they would of got him

southampton have had a 3 million pound bid accepted for buttner and with terms already agreed deal to be finalised tonight or tomorrow

Believable8 Unbelievable6

Is there any proof to that whatsoever?

Agree7 Disagree1

Source?

Agree5 Disagree2

Wont be untill its released on site

Agree3 Disagree0

Its been all over the news all day

Agree2 Disagree2

He is actually in Botley as we speak a news conference tommorow. he is staying in hotel. my source is top notch told me about hotel and jay rod deal before it was done, saints are also looking to snap up a keeper by weekend

Agree12 Disagree1

Yeah the keeper is alex mccarthy . i know that from a decent sorse from reading FC

Agree4 Disagree6

Whats your sorce? (Ketchup mate!, HP gives me the burps....)

Agree1 Disagree4

Viteese claim saints have had a £3million bid accepted! Looks a done deal!
Need a few defenders know tho!
Anyone know where buttner plays 4 viteese

Agree0 Disagree0

Think he's a left back
W

Agree1 Disagree0

But can play anywhere down the left - he's a good player!
W

Agree2 Disagree0

He's a lm so probably be putting Lallana in behind the two upfront. I didnt think Lallana has been a winger for a long time not enough pace and a hunger for goals rather than assists

Agree1 Disagree1

Buttner is a left back and can also play on the wing.

Agree2 Disagree0

Well, if Adkins wants him, he must be good. Looking forward to seeing him on Liebherr Cup day!

Agree1 Disagree0

Whats the latest with butner

Agree0 Disagree0

Buttner having a longer medical than matty holland

Agree1 Disagree0

Saints have now turned there attention to reading goalkeeper alex mccarthy. he has spent loan spells at leeds and ipswich last season and has impressed enough to earn some england under 21 caps.
Finding it tough to knock adam Federici from the starting line up

Believable2 Unbelievable10

Why would a survival rival help us out
#

Agree7 Disagree4

People do sign players from rivals. mccarthy isnt happy sat on the bench for the next 7 years at reading (federichi is 27) whilst he will get the chance to be number 1 at st marys

Agree7 Disagree4

Source?

Agree0 Disagree5

Don't believe that will happen. Federici is being looked at by a couple of clubs.

Agree2 Disagree3

More likely to be Jason Steele. Middlesborough need the money and it is suggested they have agreed a fee of £3m with Saints. Could have legs or it may be Cortese being crafty and forcing a take it or leave it deal with B'ham!

Agree2 Disagree0

I'm sure we'll get Butland. Why else would B'Ham be squeaking about us not being a big enough club for him and shouting about us offering £6m. I'm sure if we had, they would have bitten our hands off.
I reckon we'll get Butland for £3m plus add ons based on appearances

Agree1 Disagree0

When will Buttner sign for Southampton? And will he need to be granted a work permit (visa)

Believable1 Unbelievable2

No wont need work permit as holland is part of the eu

Agree8 Disagree0

First question - your guess is as good as mine. It depends how quickly Southampton can make a deal with Vitesse. Second question - Holland is part of the EU so he wouldn't require a work permit which should speed things up.

Agree4 Disagree0

With the bids we have been putting in dosent look like we will be fussy over money and the asking price is only about 2 million

Agree4 Disagree0

Southampton want to bring man utd defender fabio in on a season long loan. His brother rafael has just signed a new contract, and alex ferguson has said fabio will spend this season on loan

Believable6 Unbelievable10

Gone to qpr

Agree10 Disagree1

Hes rejected us, just the second been announced hes signed for QPR

Agree4 Disagree3

Well thats not going to happen seeing as he has just signed on loan for QPR!

Agree4 Disagree1

Dont think so mate Sky sports news just reported he has moved to QPR on Loan

Agree3 Disagree1

Just been announced he's gone to QPR, season long loan. Not that we need another left back with dan fox, dan Harding, Ryan Dickson and possibly Alexander Buttler?

Agree3 Disagree1

He's gone to QPR

Agree3 Disagree1

Is that the same fabio that has just gone to QPR

Agree3 Disagree1

Just gone to qpr

Agree3 Disagree1

Well thats a lie ... He just joined qpr on loan!

Agree3 Disagree1

Hes just joined QPR on a season long loan

KM

Agree2 Disagree0

Think we have confirmed he is going to QPR.

Agree4 Disagree0

I'm not sure on this but he might of joined QPR

Agree3 Disagree0

I did post this half hour before the deal with qpr was done. but saints were intrested

Agree2 Disagree1

Surely people can read the above posts and realise their point has already been made?

Agree3 Disagree0

I think we know he's goin to qpr

Agree2 Disagree0

Wait a minute hasn't he joined QPR!

Agree1 Disagree1

Is he going QPR?

Agree1 Disagree1

I think I read somewhere he joined QPR, not sure where though

Agree2 Disagree0

OK - you can often get a lot of posts because of the time lag between sending a message and it appearing on the page.
Secondly 30 minutes - try 15 days. The Mirror website reported the QPR loan deal on 18th June at 12:11pm

Agree1 Disagree1

have just heard that saints will unveil francis coquelin from arsenal on a season long loan deal at the memorial cup.

Believable4 Unbelievable9

Why did you hear that from? Please give poeple the source.

Agree2 Disagree4

Why do people always want a source? You must always protect your source unless in the public domain or the intel dries up!

I doubt we will be supporting other clubs youth systems. We will develop out own I hope.

Agree6 Disagree1

"Why do people always want a source?" Duuuh I dunno. Maybe to see whether it has any truth to it!

Agree4 Disagree4

I broke this news along with the unveilling of the new yellow and blue third kit yesterday.

Gerald.

Agree2 Disagree3

Apparently no new yellow kit. We will use the away strip from last year in the two prem games against stoke and Sunderland. Source is the club shop.

Agree0 Disagree1

Saints will sign someone this week and I have a feeling they'll have a 'But' in their name.

Believable6 Unbelievable3

Jensen Button?? Cool, he can drive our team bus!!

Agree8 Disagree2

Keeping your options open there. Butland or Buttner

Agree3 Disagree0

Nicky butt on a 1 year deal :P

Alexander Buttner's preference is Southampton, he is just hoping for a fee to be agreed between the two clubs

Source: dutch papers

Believable10 Unbelievable3

I spent the last hour online looking at dutch papers, and theres nothing about this. all i find is from 3 days ago saying saints, fulham and qpr are intrested.
which dutch paper did you see it in ?
chris

Agree4 Disagree5

Google his name then look in news, and click on the dutch links, they all have the same story, if you want a name, there's an article in De Telegraaf

Agree5 Disagree0

It's an article called "Southampton mekka voor Büttner"

Agree2 Disagree0

There's a link to the artical on t**tter, seems like he has agreed terms

Agree1 Disagree1

The 23-year-old left-back recognises that his future now lies in the hands of Vitesse, but he is hopeful they will listen to Southampton's offer.

"I want to go to Southampton," he told a newspaper "I have to wait for both clubs to reach an agreement, but I count on the co-operation of Vitesse."

"It would be a massive blow if this won't go through," said Buttner, who is under contract with Vitesse for one more year.

"I have been to Southampton and everything - including the living conditions - are perfect. The club, the stadium, everything, surprised me. Fantastic.

"And Southampton have big ambitions. With the new investor they want the same as Manchester City.

Agree6 Disagree2

Saints have bid £3 million for the player according to Vitesse Arnhem.
Source: Sky Sports News.

Agree4 Disagree0

Danny Fox. Dan harding, Ryan Dickson Alex Buttner. Please please please can we have more left backs?

Agree0 Disagree6

Shouldn't be too hard to find. It's on Sky Sports.

Agree2 Disagree0

According to Wikipedia, buttners current club is Southampton.

Agree1 Disagree2

To all the real Saints fans out there... I don't know about you, but the season can't come fast enough..whether we sign Buttner, Buttland or whoever, it's just great to be back in the Premier League. At least we won't be forced to stay up so late to watch the highlights either..... Bring on City!!
