Danish media reportis Saints having submitted a bid on roughly 10 mio. £. The striker hasn't had much success in Arsenal nor Juve and will have to settle for a smaller club, as Gunners aren't willing to give him another chance.

Believable1 Unbelievable11

I do not understand this post in the slightest. There is no named player and I can't imagine saints agreeing to spend 10 million pounds on someone who has to 'settle for a smaller club'.

Agree9 Disagree2

I don't think we'd pay 10 million for Bendtner

Agree8 Disagree2

Taking three clues (ie Danish, arsenal and Juve) I guess you're referring to bentner!

Agree6 Disagree1

If it's bentner!? He's in the mould of Lambert, I d take Lambert any day. End of.

Agree7 Disagree3

But we should start planning to replace Lambert in the long run. He was awesome last season and showed the doubters the quality he is but getting a great replacement in early and cheap would be good term long planning, even if the replacement is playing second fiddle to Lambert for a while.

Agree2 Disagree4

And Bentner isn't the right replacement

Agree6 Disagree2

How Bentner has managed to continue playing at top level clubs remains one of the great mysteries of modern football. Ta, but no ta!
MSSaint

Agree6 Disagree2

Not saying we don't need another striker but have always seen JRod as Lambert's long term replacement.

Agree4 Disagree1

He's about exact level of player we can expect to sign, given some of the unrealistic rubbish spouted on here.

Agree0 Disagree4

Bentdner - A legend - in his own mind

Agree6 Disagree1

Was an absolute disgrace when he wore those full-on pink boots and actually claimed they looked good. There are several reasons why saints shouldn't sign him but that is the main one.

Agree1 Disagree0

Seager is his replacement lads!

Agree2 Disagree1

Why do so many skates and other fans that dislike us post on our page, very sad. Or maybe it is just one guy, even sadder

Southampton are in talks with Cagliari for Davide Astori.

I was almost convinced until the Sun got involved lol

Agree13 Disagree2

Player who gives away red cards and own goals, no thanks!

Agree3 Disagree9

Name a defender who hasn't got a red card before or scored an O. G?!

Mini-Saint

Agree9 Disagree1

He has only had 2 suspensions from yellows over the last season or two

Agree6 Disagree1

Firstly, have you seen the Italian style of play, any type of physical contest they go over and it's a booking, in the prem it's much more physical so is likely to fit his style of play.
Secondly look how many own goals Jamie Carragher has scored, is he a bad defender?

Agree5 Disagree1

He's in italy national squad - he must be half-decent

Agree7 Disagree0

Suspended for like 3 games over 3 seasons, not a bad disciplinary record at all and any things better than jos and fox's own goals this season. Would take astori over any other defenders we've been linked to

Agree8 Disagree1

I guess he will replace hoovield and try and beat his own goal record?

some times own goals aren't the players fault it does happen, I've scored a few myself lol

Clitheroe teenager signs for Southampton

Believable11 Unbelievable5

Niall Mason, on an apprentiship contract.

Agree6 Disagree3

Apparently this guy is a beast in the making. Unfortunately he has the ego to match.

Agree2 Disagree2

One of the main thing that has impressed me over the years with the kids that we develop is that despite several of them being hugely talented, they all seem to have their feet on the ground, and seem well rounded individuals.

If this lad has a huge ego, I think Saints will probably work it out of him, or ship him on.

Agree2 Disagree0

Seen this lad play on numerous occassions. He is one hell of a signing and although a little bit big time (as I would be if I had this immense ability + got scouted for Real Madrid at 8) if he continues to improve then he will be a first team regular and potential England player in the future!

Agree1 Disagree0

This is where the influence of people like Jason Dodds is so critical. If any big egos get past him, I would be surprised.

Sky Italia reporting that Davide Astori has agreed a transfer to Southampton and will sign next week. #saintsfc

Believable13 Unbelievable8

I do hope so, but I see the list of clubs that are interested seems to be growing, with spurs on the list too. Hope he chooses us. I like the look of this guy and would end a year of speculation and state our intent. I don't like it when we are interested and lose out to players, makes us look in attractive to other players.

Southampton are close to agreeing a deal for Uruguayan winger Gonzalo Bueno ('El Zorro') of Nacional Montevideo for £8m according to the daily mail

Believable14 Unbelievable4

Would be a very exciting signing.8m sounds like a lot for the young star maybe?
Looks like someone has amusingly already updated his Wikipedia profile to Saints

Agree1 Disagree1

I see this rumour is gathering pace, looks like a good signing and realistic. Some striker that west brom are catching our eye too I see, for around 4 million. I'd like to see us spend a bit more on a striker though.

Agree1 Disagree1

Is he any good? Can't find much that makes me think he's worth that much

Agree3 Disagree1

Agree. Our style of play warrants spending money on a prolific goal scorer. We sadly lacked the killer final six yards in too many games despite some excellent build up play.

Agree5 Disagree1

Looking at his video clips, he's a very skillful winger, a good dribbler, that plays on the left, can also play on the right. The one thing I would say is that from the clips he seems to fall over every time someone goes near him. In the Prem, he'd need to try to stay on his feet more, but from the little I've seen he'd be a good addition.

Agree1 Disagree1

Bueno looks quick but from what I've watched online not so good on end product but its hard to judge on you tube clips.

Agree1 Disagree0

De Ridder looks absolute mustard on YouTube!

Agree6 Disagree1

It took ronaldo and Bale several seasons to have "end product". I think it's worth a punt on a 20 year old who won't be part of the 25 and shows real promise. Trust the scouts and trust the Don. Enjoy the ride.

Agree4 Disagree1

He might turn out to be great but 8 million is certainly a bit more than a 'punt'

Saints set to sign Brazilian Utility player Marquinhos age 19 From Roma for a fee of somewhere around 15m euros

Believable4 Unbelievable10

Would be a great signing but we will not get him for 15m likely be at least double that

Agree3 Disagree3

Source?

Agree1 Disagree1

How much!

Agree0 Disagree1

Since he's being chased by both Barca and Real Madrid, as well as others, I'd suggest that this is a bit of wishful thinking

Agree3 Disagree0

I don't know why everyone thinks players will automatically go to a big team just because they MIGHT be interested too. Southampton are a very attractive opportunity for young players and if they're smart they'll come to a team where they're guaranteed first team football in a growing team that will be challenging for champions league in a couple of seasons, rather than going and warming the bench/not make the squad/play in the b team of a 'big' club.

Have a positive mindset about your club for Christ sakes

Agree3 Disagree0

There's being positive and being realistic. Many people just see the £ signs
