Caulker is a brilliant Singing . I can see Bertrand,caulker,fonte and cedric working well as a team and trust in koeman to get Faulkner back in the england squad. And let's not forget that gardos isn't dead he's just got a long injury and we got yoshi!!. Hopefully we get Vvd and I would call that a bloody brilliant defence.maybe we might see a couple more loans befor the window shuts . maybe a cheeky Austin signing lol (I wish).Heads up southampton fans we are looking good it's not all doom and gloom :).

Loving your enthusiasm! I agree, Caulker will likely improve a lot under Koeman, the same with van Dijk if he signs. Player improvement in the defensive positions was phenomenal last season.
My ideal signings would be:
Kamil Glik, 27, Centre back, available for around £12M upwards. (Torino)
Lorenzo Insigne, 24, Attacking midfield/wing, available for around £15M upwards. (Napoli)
Renato Tapia, 20, Def Mid/Centre Def, available for around £3M upwards.

Glik is a very competent defender and current captain of his team, Insigne is a very quick, stylish player who knows Pellè from the Italian national team and Tapia is a talented, up and coming Peruvian playing for FC Twente so knows Tadic`^ and will have heard of Koeman. Thoughts?

I would also love them signings but would players like insigne want to much money? What do you think about kongolo and max gradel I can see them fitting well.

This isn't FIFA.

@esso14 + @MUZZ_TING, these transfers make sense so have nothing to do with FIFA games. Insigne is a high earner at Napoli and would be an expensive transfer for our club, however he is hugely talented and has improved a great deal since Benitez took over as coachcoach; now that he is gone Insigne is slightly unsettled and has previously mentioned his attraction to a bigger league.

Lastly him knowing Pelle could have an impact. Glik is perhaps the least likely transfer I mentioned since he has no links with anyone associated with Southampton but he has often been scouted by Premier League clubs and the Torino president has said that he'll listen to offers for him.

Tapia is highly rated and may develop better at a club which can offer him more than what FC Twente can, he has some connection with Tadic and the Koeman brothers so the club are definitely aware of his talents.

Also, Gradel looks to be joining Bournemouth soon. Kongolo is very good too, however he does need more experience to dominate his position, even in the friendly against Southampton he was a little hesitant and couldn't keep Pelle under control. I expect that if the club sign a new First XI defender then they'll be over the age of 23.

To be fair I would just be happy with VVD now think we have had another good window. People go on about another winger but I can't see why.

Yes, all said I would still be very happy with van Dijk! This transfer window has looked very successful so far. A winger is not required but if the team were playing a 4-2-3-1 formation then a proper RM would be useful. Since Tadic, Mané, Juanmi and Ward-Prowse all play better centrally and McQueen/Isgrove are just not ready.
