People passing a rumour around saying that once the geoff cameron deal at stoke is complete then shawcross may be on his way to us, to be done late this week or early next week.

I would love this to happen as he is a strong young CB with prem experience and no doubt a future england international; you would also have to compare this to the dann rumour, i would say that shawcroos is worth more than dann but blackburn have a high asking price therefore 6mil for dann or shawcross. i know where i would spend my money. Though i can see this being very unlikely.

furthermore apparently rumours of new investors from the far east hence why cortese is abroad.

Well, "Agent Saint", I should stick with Everton, who seem to think they can buy anyone, without money. We are familiar with such nonsense from down the road!

And while you are at it, how about coughing up with some money for Naismith?

For the real Saints supporters, I suspect we have some kids from other clubs posting on our site, so be on the look out!

Whats this about new investers does anyone know more

No idea, but i i heard thats why cortese is away on a break. Talking to possibly investors, which doesnt mean leibherrs would go, just sell of some of there shares to another party.

Hope not. That's when things get ugly.

Yer that aint good when 2 people got the say on what happens we should stick wiv just one owner

Ryan shawcross will be coming to saints all that needs to be done is the finalising of geoff cameron to stoke. should be done at the end of this week. coyr!!!

I don't see him joining Saints, he is a class above an a much bigger club would buy him if they found out he was available to us.

Man utd have first option have they rejected?

Not going to happen. If he does leave leave Stoke it will sadly be to a 'bigger' team than us.

I doubt that, I reckon he'd be happy at St Mary's especially with the Cortese plan.

Southampton will be a bigger club than they are now when they establish themselves in the EPL, they have a great youth policy, remember Shearer etc, o ye of little faith.

Dean Hammond has handed in a transfer request and looks set to leave St Mary's after calls for him to lose the captaincy and the fact he feels he won't get many games. He will probably be sold to a championship/league 1 side. Personally I wish him the best in his future endeavours. He's been great for us for the past few seasons and I hope he gets first team football at his next club.

Hope this is true,never rated him at all,lazy n no good passing

Dean hammond has NOT handed in a transfer request. why would you come up with such crap ? and if your are right, where is your name ? there is nothing anywhere, and only the other day he was saying how much he was looking forward to starting the season in his 1st ever season in the premiership. - chris

Dont want him to leave, hes a good player and he played excellently in pre-season especially against Wolves, anyway whats your Source ?

Can't believe it will be accepted as it would appear that in terms of future transfers for us Nigel has stopped making plans (geddit). so in conclusion and to quote Secret Agent and UK tax payer Harry Redknapp "we are down to the bare bones"

'Lazy'? You must watch a different Hammond to me! I'll be very surprised if this is true. Deserves his chance, I've always rated him.

I like Hammond, but with Cork, Davis, Schneiderlin and with Ward-Prowse coming through i don't see Hammond as any more than a back up.

Hammond is a good Midfielder but he's not top flight good. I really hope he gets a good new club though.

Hammond is absolutely not lazy. If is the hardest trainer and works tirelessly on the field. However I don't believe if has the pace or stand-out ability to cope in the Prem. A decent Championship player I'd say. We have jumped 2 divisions in 2 years. It is harsh but we must evolve the squad to stay up. I wish Deano all the very best.

Hammond is not good enough for the premiership and was not good enough for the championship. Great servant but unfortunately if the club wants to evolve then we have to be a bit more ruthless. Davis, Cork, Ward-Prowse and Morgan we have 4 reasonable centre midfielders all better than dean

As Hammond is our Captain he will be played and come on give him a chance! Everyone said Lambert wouldn't cut it in the championship and look how he did, he has worked hard to get us there so deserves a chance and lazy? Have you ever seen him play?
