Just cropped up on twitter: Wanyama's father Noah Wanyama "My son will make a sober decision. Be patient, he will make a decision in the coming days. "

Unbelievable5
Is the decision between us, Cardiff and somewhere in Europe?
Agree6
Disagree2
Is Wanyama a bit of a drinker then. ?
Agree13
Disagree4
I wouldn't be surprised if he was a problem drinker given how frustrating his agent has been.

Are we still in for Wanyama or has that dried up?
Believable16
Unbelievable3
I've just heard that apparently he's sacked his agent which if it's true I can see us being back in for him, if not then it's dead in the water
Agree6
Disagree5
Thought this one had died out ages ago. Why is it still being mentioned.
We bid, he said no (for whatever reason) we moved on
Agree9
Disagree3
God only knows.
Agree4
Disagree1
He didn't say no, his agent wanted a ridiculous amount so WE pulled out.
Agree4
Disagree2
He's just signed for PSG so that's a load of Pooh!
Agree0
Disagree11
If he sees sense he'll sign for us
Agree2
Disagree1
No he has not joined PSG you person!
Agree5
Disagree0
Dont need him a centre forward and winger much more needed
Agree3
Disagree1
^Actually, yes we do need someone to rotate with cork/spider
Agree2
Disagree1
I'd say we're still talking to him, yeah. It is likely (is it, or am I totally naive?) the news coverage following his/his agent's rebuff of our personal terms made them think twice about what they're asking for. We know he was a real target, I'd find it weird if we just dropped it.
That said, we also know Cardiff have upped their bid and he (apparently) likes their terms, maybe they are content with paying what we consider to be above the odds.

Getting fed up with all these stupid rumours the players saints have been linked with are going to be snapped up by big clubs who pay big wages saints should be more realistic and go for players who want to play for the shirt and not the money

Romelu Lukaku to sign for southampton as chelsea will sign Edinson cavani. COYR
Believable13
Unbelievable27
Would love it but I would say its highly doubtful. He will have his pick of teams and will demand high wages. Possibly on loan but I can't see us developing other teams players.

I'd love this to be true!
(Just think on the odd occasion when SRL is ineffective, we'd have Lukaku waiting to step on the pitch!) - The stuff dreams are made of! COYR's
Agree11

Would love this to be true but I really do not believe this.
Agree13

I wish this were true but I doubt it.

If chelsea don't want him he'll sing for west brom
Agree6
Disagree12
Does he have a nice voice then?
Agree12
Disagree1
Yeah I heard he has a very good voice. Great singer apparently.
Agree7
Disagree1
Sorry sign for west brom. its been long day lol
Agree4
Disagree7
Would be a great signing he ripped us to shreds in the home game last season, but why are we waiting so long for our new signings, look at swansea they don't hang about

Lukaku will not be leaving Chelsea this window

I have heard that Luke Shaw may have a serious illness/condition like Lallana had. not sure how this would effect him signing an new deal or going elswhere?
Would appreciate any confirmation on this?
Believable3
Unbelievable34
There is rumours then there is cruel malicious lies. Don't post things like that. Even if true no place for it on a rumour site.
Agree28
Disagree4
No truth in it at all. Either you have an overactive imagination or someone is having you on
Agree16
Disagree3
So, what part of Portsmouth are you from?
Agree19
Disagree4
The trolls are out today!
So, you won't be wanting to sign him now?
Saint Martin
Agree9
Disagree3
He seems pretty active on his twitter account even mentioning the pre season fitness regime yesterday
Agree8
Disagree1
Yes, for someone who has a serious illness/condition, strange he was at Southampton University doing pre-season fitness tests!

Southampton are attempting to bring Ajax winger Viktor Fischer to St Marys and that they have almost completed deals for Inter Milan's Japanese international full-back Yuto Nagatomo and Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne.
Believable2
Unbelievable14
I hope Insigne is true. real class with awesome ability on the ball when running at defenders
Agree10
Disagree1
Viktor Fischer is going to be a brilliant player in the future, would be a great signing
Agree9
Disagree0
Whether this is feasible or true, signing these players would definitely put us with the Swansea, WBA and liverpools (if no Suarez ). That being said I doubt insigne is feasible if they lose cavani, nagatomo would feed corteses Japanese fetish and Fischer is up there with eriksson in potential
Agree4
Disagree0
Insigne please, he is insane! and would be a huge sign of intent! I know Southampton are going places and I love it
Agree7
Disagree2
Can't deny how good all of these would be to add to the depth in the main team and squad. Would allow some class to drop to the bench and get decent full back cover.
Agree2
Disagree0
Fischer would be a massive signing!
Agree1
Disagree0
Just wish something would happen soon otherwise we will have a disjointed squad. We need the pre-season to gel for a good start to the season.
Agree2
Disagree0
I think we'll be fine at the beginning of the season, we've improved the defence which was our main problem last season. I think the problem will come when the players start to get tired like they did at the end of last season, that's when we'll need the extra players

Any news on players on the way out?
De Ridder
Guly
Chaplow
Fox
Hoisveld/Fonte
etc
Need to clear to decks to get players in surely or do you think we are buying in before selling.
Believable10
Unbelievable1
I got a chance to speak to De Ridder recently and he said he's holding out for an offer to return home to Belgium.
Agree9
Disagree1
Not Forgetting Barnard and Hammond- who are still on the books. Sharp and Lee too.
Agree5
Disagree0
Such a shame lee didn't really get the chance he needed. Looked like he could have been quite an asset when I first saw him
Then the injury
Then back to Japan.

We should go for Douglas Costa instead love him would add just what we need.

Agree5

We won't sign a player who has only played 41 times in 3 years in the Ukrainian league. Balderdash

Saints are making a bid for Belgian Strike Jelle Vossen. He is young, full of talent and been in great for in the last few seasons at Genk. I hope this comes off he would fit in perfect at St Marys.
My Parents were in Belgium this weekend and saw this in an article in one of the local papers.
