On my way home from work as I drive past st Mary's and I saw a bald player with there agent getting into a Mercedes I'm pretty sure it was jonjo shelvey, but this is not 100% true.

Possible loan move maybe? {Ed001's Note - he is away with the U21s.}

"but this is not 100% true"

I'd agree on that. As Ed said. he's definitely away with U21s!

Also on another note. if we were to sign him, it wouldn't be loan IMO. Saints don't really loan players, unless w/ buy out clause.

Lol what a fail

It was probably Chaplow?

Could of been naingnolin

Well joshandress8, it does help when they have a sign around their necks stating "agent" and "player", doesn't it!LOL
There was certainly a lot of brain power utilised for that post.

Saint Martin

I was outside st marys the other day in a merc, I was wearing a suit and my passenger was a youngish fella with an athletic build.
I pulled over to answer my phone and he got out to stretch his legs.

"OH MY WORD.!
Two people outside a football club.!!
One must be an agent and the other a player.!!
I must tell people right now.!!"

There are hundreds of people a day outside st marys, get real mate.

Whats fail? the bloke said he saw someone with an agent getting out their car and was trying to guess who from their appearance, and even said he wasn't sure if it was.
Why don't you offer some suggestions kid, or perhaps your FM game has crashed and without it you don't have the footie knowledge to contribute right now. {Ed001's Note - or perhaps you should get off FM and ask yourself how he knew it was a player and an agent? Do agents and players have a particular look?}

Sorry but I think the person struggling with "footie knowledge" is the one who doesn't understand that Shelvey is away with the U21s.

Either that or a basic lack of geographical knowledge thinking Southampton is in Israel.

I don't understand how he knew one was a player and one was an agent. were they wearing massive signs saying their professions?

Its a massive fail because if you're going to guess who it is you shouldn't guess a player that is known to be in Israel on international duty. FAIL

This thread has gone on a bit hasn't it. Note "Rumors site" not official facts site.

Keep the rubbish coming, its better than work :)

To the guy who said i'm a kid and plays FM actually i'm an adult and I don't play FM but i'm no stranger to a bit of fifa 13

Chaplow with his agent, burnley close to signing him

Considering shelvey was playing for the u21 in Israel on Monday, I very much don't believe it was him

8 players have been released. They are:
Frazer Richardson, Danny Butterfield, Dan Seaborne, Ryan Dickson, Ben Reeves, Sam Hoskins, Tommy Forecast, Alberto

No surprises really, thought Hoskins and Seidi were decent

I that's the case, I wish them all the best for the future

Please say Gully as well

Guly's contract isn't out and don't be mean, he's not all that bad.

Guly is an important member of the squad and can play in many posistions.

Shame about Reaves and Hoskins thought they gad potential but thank god Tommy Forecast is gone

Finally, Tommy Forecast has gone!

Lenny

Gully as well (sarcasm)

Whyd you say please guly aswell sorry but this year yes he can be lazy but he does when he makes an effort play some good football and sad to se seidi go thought he was a good player oh well guess shows the competiton

Guly's a useless luxury we can't afford to have around, supposedly the new signings we are expecting to come in will take our club to the next level.
Guly couldn't compete at the level this season gone, if rumours are correct
he won't be able to live with what's coming in, get rid.

The one thing that is obvious from that list is that two right backs have gone. Going to need cover in there.

Thought Richardson and possibly Butterfield did well for the club in the championship and league 1. Reeves will be a good player for a league 1 team in the future. Also, hope seaborne finds club where he can play regularly like bournemouth

Southampton are hoping to add Will Buckley and Celtics Gary Hooper to their squad, Hooper would rather join Sunderland though, also looking at Adrian Lopez from Athletico Madrid who they tried to sign in January. Lopez though wanted to join a much higher profile club.

What a load of nonsense. Not interested in Hooper. Hooper was entirely media fabrication based on Adkins' having been his manager previously. Now Adkins has gone their is absolutely no substance left.

Will Buckley is not too likely to be on the list of players we want either, but I won't write off our interest there as a deal involving Dean Hammond is perfectly possible if we desired to drive down price.

As for Adrian Lopez, it's not a likely signing. But it's the sort Cortese would go for so let's hope he can work his magic. But the 'higher profile' argument seems lost actually because he's not first choice at Athletico Madrid so I can't see the 'top teams' really being in for him.

Hooper can **** off

Their are just the sort of players we will proberbly end up signing, after all the daft talk on here.

I'm fairly sure Hooper will not be someone we will sign though. Just not an improvement on what we have.

Hoopers not good enough

st stuie

Hooper would be a great signing, a player who has scored goals in the Champions League and he has been linked to us today in the paper for an 7m deal, competition from Sunderland and Norwich

Hooper would be an absolute waste. Yes he's scored in the Champions League, but that doesn't mean he can do it week in week out for Southampton to the level Rickie Lambert can. I think there are better options out there especially for 7million pounds!
