Not a stable source, bare in mind this is a RUMOUR website, not all rumours are 100% accurate. But these Rumours seem to be the talk of town.

As if we need a player in every position. The amount of players we've been linked with in 1 week is ridiculous. Imagine how many by transfer deadline day. I predict none of the rumours mentioned so far will occur

Agree5 Disagree6

Would love us to get Clyne. Still young as well so we can teach him the 'Southampton way'. Also, Matt Phillips would be unlikely but if Blackpool were to lose the play-offs I suppose it would be possible. Expensive though one thinks. Again, hes young which would be good.

Agree5 Disagree2

Jarvis??

Agree7 Disagree4

I'm a saints fan but Blackpool will win the play offs there a great knockout football team they play the ideal way and always score goals home and away. So I can't see us getting any of theres but I would love too see a RB priority then 3 or 4 more with real quality. Maybe from abroad with NCs contacts we will get better value for money in Europe anyway. Every foreign player they've brought in so far has gelled perfectly so I don't see any issues there. You can't tell me fat Matt Jarvis is worth 7 mill we could get some real continental class for that! COYS!

Agree4 Disagree3

As i stated above, it is RUMOURS, if you know what a rumour is you'd know what i was going on about

Agree5 Disagree2

Clyne - Dream on mate !

Agree0 Disagree2

Naughton would return to Norwich if Spurs allowed it either permanent or another loan...you have NO chance!

Whitbread will be offered a new deal, but since he is 3rd choice behind Ayala and Bennett, he could be persuaded.

Ins:
Matt Phillips ( if blackpool don't get promotion)
Kevin Doyle
Zak Whitbread
Jordan Mackie
Carl Henry

Believable5 Unbelievable6

Jordan Mackie? Not sure just googled him and he isn't a football player, I think you mean Jamie Mackie, He would be a good signing but haven't seen this rumour before. Matt Phillips would be a amazing signing but we would have to put in a decent bid for the youngster. Carl Henry is spelt Karl Henry. I think he is terrible not any better than Cork or Schneiderlin, we need a goalscoring midfielder and Henry defiantly isn't one of those. Kevin Doyle hasn't really proved himself while he has been in the Premiership and I think we should be going for someone better. Finally Zak Whitbread is available on a free and I see this as the only signing I think Saints could possibly make, but obviously neither of us know who saints are signing as they KEEP IT A SECRET until it is confirmed.

Agree7 Disagree3

Matty Phillips is quality. But will be hard to get.

I hate Karl Henry, but we need someone to put some agression in our midfield and put the tackles in.

Impartial to Whitbread, I think he would be OK but nothing amazing. Probably a good signing because he is free (i think?), just to improve our squad strength.

Better out there than Doyle and Mackie (but maybe you are being realistic and I am being too optimistic?). Would like to see one or two of: Jay Rodriguez, Zaha, Hoilett, Whittingham, Michu, Snodgrass, Jarvis, Hooper

We also could use a RB and/or LB like Clyne, Naughton, Bridge, Van der Wiel etc.

Obviously not hoping for all of these, would love to see a couple of them at SMS in the coming season though

Agree3 Disagree0

Why is Bridge coming up so often? Former player and did well for us but positionally suspect (which is not an advantage at the back) and getting on a bit

Agree0 Disagree0

According to an ITK agent, Saints are lining up a bid for Burnley's Kieran Trippier and Jay Rodriguez - cash plus a player going the other way.

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Cant see what player they would want and we would be willing to let go.

Agree3 Disagree2

Both have been good this season and I personally would have put Trippier in TOTY, i rate him very highly. However I believe that some Burnley fans would start to feel as if saints are stealing their whole team. We have Cork, who was at Burnley for 18/24 months, Fox who was their 1st choice LB. Chaplow played their in the early part of his career and know their up and coming star striker and their 1st choice LB. I believe we have also been linked Charlie Austin (I don't think this will happen) but if i was a Burnley fan I wouldn't like the South Coast team at the moment.

Agree6 Disagree1

I think a player like Barnard would be involved in a deal like this.
But don't think this deal will happen

Agree2 Disagree2

I heard this rumour too and apparently it was Chaplow, although I'd be more pleased if we shifted Puncheon there.

Daily mail reporting we are after Simon cox from west brom for 3 million. Other targets include yakubu, Matt Phillips and hooper.
Being honest think we can do better than cox but only really like Phillips and yakubu can score goals

Believable8 Unbelievable4

Hooper is NOT coming.. this rumor keeps coming up, he said 3 days ago "im not leaving celtic as i want champions leauge football"

Agree12 Disagree1

Hooper is a good player but he loves life in scotland and is a championns league player so he will not leave celtic!
