Saints should have a look at Danny Guthrie, on free transfer, would make a great signing. I don't think Rodrigues is worth 7m but he will be a great player in the future however I'd still prefer Garry Hooper. I'd also like us to sign Matt Jarvis, Jack Butland, Nathan Clyne and Mathew Upson (he'll bring experience to our back 4).

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Spot on exect upson and hooper, upson to old and hooper is the same as jay rod hasn't played in prem but jay is younger and will become better than hooper

Agree6 Disagree3

And how do you know he will become better than Hooper? He's what 18 months younger and Hooper has played in Europe and has scored against the likes of Braga, Renne and Udinese.

Agree1 Disagree4

Its because he's expected to be a great player in the future that he's worth 7m

Agree5 Disagree1

If hooper doesn't move to prem in the near future, he will rote in SPL where as J-rod will become a decent striker for southampton in the prem. arsenal fan

Agree7 Disagree1

Being expected to be a great player and actually becoming one are two different things. Macheda at Utd was expected to become a great player and look at him

Agree0 Disagree1

This would be perfect but add knight or bassong and get Frazier cambell up front
WE NEED PACE

Agree0 Disagree3

Macheda hasn't got much playing time to show his full potineal and why bring him up anyway

Agree2 Disagree0

When did macheda prove he could score goals before his move? ...

Agree0 Disagree0

''And how do you know he will become better than Hooper? He's what 18 months younger and Hooper has played in Europe and has scored against the likes of Braga, Renne and Udinese.''

... Well we are playing Udinese so if jay rod comes and he scores. Then your comment doesnt mean anything.

Agree4 Disagree0

J-rod will get more chances than machedo has had!

Agree1 Disagree0

Guthrie is a troublemaker his wedding fiasco with police called twice will put Saints off for sure. Cortese will have nothing to fo with him.Non starter..

Agree1 Disagree0

After being resigned to losing clyne, crystal palace held talks with numerous clubs regarding the best deal they could get by selling him. This is not only regarding the pricetag, but developing a partnership with a premier league club and first look in on loan. They chose Southampton mainly due to their record of youth creating exciting academy stars. Aaron Martin will be just the first player going to Selhurst. A link will be developed between the clubs. Expect Butterfield, ward-prowse, Stephens, barbard, shaw, chaplow. These sorts of players to be playing some part at Selhurst Park next season. Clyne will be a hit at Southampton also.

Believable5 Unbelievable8

Whilst it is obvious Clyne will leave Palace I wonder whether he fits Saints requirements that well. We already have a young talented right full back (Stephens), and whilst he is short of making the first team at this moment, is Clyne that much further forward?
Now, if you asked the same sort of question regarding Zaha, the answer I believe is that Saints would gain much more from that move.

Agree3 Disagree4

Let's hope so clyne would be brilliant but bigger teams are in for him and also palace are a good place for youngsters to gain experience and playing time :) let's hope this is true

Agree2 Disagree0

Isnt Stephens a centre back and Shaw a left back?

Agree3 Disagree2

Im friends with ward-prowse on facebook. i asked him couple of weeks ago about this rumor where hes going to torquay on loan. he said "not going anywhere", adkins gave him a pro contract so he can play apart in the premiership next season. if he didnt think he would get game time at saints he would have left

Agree4 Disagree3

Adkins said himself the youth players he offered professional contracts will be playing big roles the season! Can only see Martin and one other going On loan nOt our whole academy

Agree2 Disagree0

Martin is young with some first team experience, if he's not in the picture as he needs experience, so will the younger ones

Agree0 Disagree0

There's no way Clyne or Zaha will be joining Southampton - That's simply ridiculous

Agree2 Disagree2

, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has dismissed claims that Newcastle have had talks with the Eagles regarding Nathaniel Clyne.

Parish said: “I read them and they are not true. It’s completely made up – I hate using those words but they have just got bad information.

“I had a chat to people there a while ago and they do quite like him – but that doesn’t mean they are going to buy him.”

Clyne has been offered a deal to stay at Palace but another Toon target in Wilfried Zaha has had a price of �10million slapped on him by the Selhurst Park side.

Agree2 Disagree0

Dont think Saints interested in Clyne we already have Stephens who is as good anyhow. Just a bad rumour end of.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have been told from a source within Watford that Southampton have enquired into the availability of Lee Hodson.

Believable4 Unbelievable12

Nothing solid but i have a feeling that southampton could be in for Hamidou Jules. a 24 yo defender plays his trade in the Axpo League (Switzerland) hes from Tchad, so maybe could be a recomendation from Radhi Jahidi, like i said its not solid but i think we could be in for him as a premier league club (us) are in for him and a top championship club.

Aaron Martin goes on loan to Palace for the season.
Good move for him and us, he gets regular football, which helps him develop as a player, and I expect when he is back he will be ready for the first team

Believable10 Unbelievable1

As Martin is going to palace
This is possible that it's part of a deal to bring in zaha or clyne

Agree4 Disagree2

Yeah as soon as I heard the news I thought maybe this would help us get one of the Palace youngsters...I hope so

Agree0 Disagree1

Or saints have loaned him out to get vital experience, not part of any deal just get him playing some football, a full season under his belt ready for the 2013/14 season

Agree4 Disagree0

Zaha & Clyne won't be joining Southampton ... That's absolutely ridiculous

Agree7 Disagree2

saints have stepped up their bid for highly rated goalkeeper jack butland from birmingham to 3.5 million , - source - the daily fail.

Believable13 Unbelievable2

I hope this is true. Butland would be a fantastic young signing.

Agree6 Disagree1

Daily fail - what a awful joke

I reported last week that the Jay Rod deal would see one of ours go the other way as cash + player
My understanding was that Burnley wanted Butterfiled? However Chaplow has been reported today as going - there was some twitter banter over chaplow going last week
Shame good player on his day - good deal for Burnley

CTS

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Do you know when the deal will be done

Agree1 Disagree4

This is all lies chaplow not going anywhere only 7m to burnley and jay rod to saints

Agree4 Disagree2

Chaplow said on twitter last week, that hes annoyed with the rumors that he is leaving, they are not true and hes looking forward to playing in the premiership with saints

Agree4 Disagree2

We wont let chaplow go! Not a chance. Hes a good player. Not sure if hes prem good but he always puts in 110% and we need players like that if were gunna do well next season

Agree4 Disagree2

As far as anyone knows, the deal is cash only, �6.5million going up to 7. That's more than enough. If Burnley want a player too, they are just being greedy. they could get several players with that money.

Agree2 Disagree0

I agree good player chaplow, i was told it was likley to be Butts that went

good to see Martin going out on loan to gain experience maybe Clyne or Zaha coming

Jay Rod landing in Southampton on the 10:35 Manchester flight this morning
CTS

Agree0 Disagree1

Zaha's not for sale & Clyne WON'T be joining a newly promoted club ... especially when Man U and Man City are interested

Agree5 Disagree1

Saints to make £3.5m bid for Jack Butland.
Take De Bruyne on loan from Chelski.
Sign Rodders this week.

Believable7 Unbelievable4

Take it but land wouldnt sign till after euros?

Agree2 Disagree1

Yer but still great signing if we get him I mean why would he go to city or spurs(both interested in him) as they have brill keepers and would get no playing time. Come to saints!

Agree1 Disagree0

I'd love to sign jack butland but if we can't get him we can always sign Gordon
De bruyne would be great as we need a winger
Who is rodders

Agree4 Disagree0

Agent could do deal whilst hes away and agree deal .butland comes back to confirrm

Agree1 Disagree0

^rodders = jay rodriguez I'd hazard to guess.

Agree0 Disagree2

Rodders is the guy we have been after for a while, been a lot news about him in the past week, also known as Jay-Rod or J-Rod, both pronounced the same way,

JAY RODRIGUEZ MAYBE!!!

Agree1 Disagree2

It's the first time I've heard someone call him rodders
He is known as jay rod NOT RODDERS

Agree2 Disagree0
