Southampton Transfer Rumours

29 Aug 2024 13:31:21
JWP getting closer, on loan. Yuri will be a purchase, Flamengo in serious financial trouble and must raise several millions before end of September. If JWP doesn't sign then Yuri will be a 2.5/3.00 loan with option to buy. Don't be surprised to see Fraser or Willian signed after closure of window.

29 Aug 2024 17:05:39
Do you mean Corinthians in financial trouble?

29 Aug 2024 17:50:34
Sky sports reporting Yuri highly unlikely now. As for Jwp perfect fit for our pass sideways and backwards style. Should be great counting how many passes we make before the opposition score! Jwp not for me. And as long as Stephens plays it doesn't matter who we have in goal.

29 Aug 2024 18:04:51
I think max cornet is more likely to fill the loan spot, although I would love to see JWP back, lesly and flynn with mattheus/aribo/smallbone/dibbling competing for places would only be a good thing.all though we do seem to be linked with just about every player at the moment!

29 Aug 2024 18:46:01
Where’s the out and out striker we were promised? Why Yuri not coming? If we don’t get the goals we are down simples

29 Aug 2024 20:38:57
I think archer will get us goals.still have tall pall and sicknote Stewart.

29 Aug 2024 22:01:19
Sorry, Corinthians!

30 Aug 2024 08:10:46
Mac Cornet will join today. There is no doubt. JWP won’t.

30 Aug 2024 08:59:30
Not sure. Parish getting stuck in for Palace as they want him too

30 Aug 2024 11:06:26
JWP looks like he's going Nottingham First so unlikely now to grab him as west ham rather would gain money over a loan

30 Aug 2024 11:39:03
Looks like we have beaten Palace. Cornet en route to us?

30 Aug 2024 12:26:38
Forest are paying a huge loan fee and all wages for JWP, even more than Ramsdale wages! It’s all last minute and a rush, can’t understand the logic. Get your squad sorted before first game of season! Anyway, looks like a few are leaving and 2/3 coming in.

30 Aug 2024 13:35:28
You think Yuri Alberto is likely to happen? Saw a few articles saying its unlikely now

30 Aug 2024 13:42:32
Report says JWP rejected us. His choice. Hope he doesn’t live to regret it. No worries we will be fine without him.

31 Aug 2024 03:28:15
Suggested team post 30/8/24 (prior to availability of Cornet, Fraser and Stewart ) . Ramsdale. Yukon TBH ABK/ ( (Taylor) KWP Fernandez DOWNES LES. LALLANA//Sam Amo) ARCHER BEN DIAZ Subs. Macca Taylor AArmstrong Bednarek Dibling Smallbone Aribo Sam Amo//Lallana

28 Aug 2024 20:05:37
Ramsdale coming. £18 m initial fee with £7 m in add ons

28 Aug 2024 23:51:37
Seems a done deal.let's hope his medical goes well! .

30 Aug 2024 11:49:43
We got 11 mins to beat the 12 noon deadline for Aaron to play tomorrow ??

27 Aug 2024 19:54:52
According to the ugly inside. Bijlow has failed his medical at southampton which can kinda explain why we haven't signed him at all. This is kinda conrete has biljow has annouced he failed his medical on his socials.

So now we stll are stuck with McCarthy who clearly isn't worthy of being the sticks cause we'll get relegated if he is.


Rasmdale or nothing now unless we sign some keeper which suddenly becomes prime neuer.

28 Aug 2024 13:52:16
Ramsdale and Brooks incoming.

29 Aug 2024 18:05:57
Not heard any thing about brooks? I know him and ramsgate are good mates though.

29 Aug 2024 20:39:33
Ramsdale*

25 Aug 2024 20:06:40
Can someone please explain the Charly situation. I think he could be special for us this season. He's definitely got something about him

26 Aug 2024 20:25:17
He is certainly quite good and from what I understand he was not agitating to leave, but it seems that (1) his natural and best style is too undisciplined to fit into the way Southampton plays and (2) his trouble with the language has made it difficult to instruct him to play within the system.

26 Aug 2024 21:04:52
Charly is a very talented player but he does lack possession discipline in key areas on the pitch. He will excel at slightly lower standard leagues and in time may well adjust his cavalier style and become an established international and maybe a regular fixture in a top premier league club. Saints don’t have the luxury of giving him time, when playing RMs system he gets caught on the ball too many times which will be punished at the highest level. It is a great shame that, for Charly, RM is manager. If Ralph, Koeman and even Jones were manager he would be playing in a different more explosive style of play which would more suit him.

St. Marty has written an article entitled, Southampton v Nottingham Forest Review

22 Aug 2024 17:59:32
Sky now reporting we’re making a loan bid for Ramsdale, anyone got any update on either GK situation?

22 Aug 2024 10:48:44
Why don't we go for Stirling, probably not a shot of getting him but, might get him on the cheap and if he wants to play regularly why not us? Can't see any of top 6 clubs going for him. SR/RM - be brave and have a go, he is a class act. We really do need a Keeper too or we r bang in trouble, Johnstone is a good keeper, wants to leave Palace so if Ramsdale to Wolves (puzzling why though as Sa is class!) is going through then Johnstone is a must surely?!

{Ed002's Note - The wages are a huge problem and Southampton has no interest.}

22 Aug 2024 09:33:07
I have been told that Saints are looking long and hard at Sverre Nypan of Rosenberg. The Norwegians want 14 million euros for him. He scored a hatrick last night and is very highly rated.

23 Aug 2024 09:09:07
Thanks for the intel @2408.

Do we still have money to spend?

Saints were saying they needed to sell before they bought. I think you said we probably had 12m to spend.

Since then we have 10m in for Mara, have spent 30m on Archer and Fernandes, potentially 10m lined up on Bijlow and now maybe more.

Sounds like we are very confident on 20m in from ABK and Onuachu to balance the books, KWP or Alcaraz may be off (hope not) or there was more money available than thought.

23 Aug 2024 16:08:13
Alcaraz and ABK will cover what’s been spent. Alcaraz is a free spirit not suited to arms regimented system.

23 Aug 2024 18:37:32
Thanks @2408.

Alcaraz is currently the 2nd highest PL goal scorer per game in the squad, so it seems a big risk to sell him but point taken on the system adherence.

Appreciate the update

21 Aug 2024 12:49:34
Justin Bijlow?

21 Aug 2024 20:02:49
Keeps the loan slot free for a certain “free kick merchant”?

20 Aug 2024 23:43:09
Transfer update.

Ox has now agreed a deal elsewhere.

Ramsdale is weighing up options. Wolves most likely due to manager links. Saints offering an attractive loan deal but waiting till deadline day to make their move. Szczęsny has also been discussed as a 1 season interim.

JWP is interesting. Not on our current list, but watch this space. If a deal can be struck we will go for it. Loan option most likely on deadline day. Bournemouth have also registered an interest.

Saints also in for another promising young winger Fernandez-Pardo. Lots of noise but no official offer as of yet.

21 Aug 2024 10:06:36
Szczesny is a fabulous goalkeeper and out of contract. Arsenal must have another keeper lined up if they are going to let Ramsdale leave, doesn’t add up otherwise. Fernandes signing smacks of Sports Republic decision not the manager or scouting team, our profile of signings in the last 12 months clearly reflects my summation. Fernandes is the first player we’ve signed since RM was manager that has no football experience in the UK with the exception of Sugawara, Japanese players have a professional mindset and are not mercenaries. If Wolves do sign Ramsdale then Sa is a very good keeper to consider, he won’t want to be No2 at Wolves. Archer was bought as cover for Armstrong and will score goals given time, Hope Stewart is fit soon. ?

21 Aug 2024 12:12:25
Apparently bid in for the Feyenoird keeper just

21 Aug 2024 12:37:40
2408, do you think we will sign another forward?

21 Aug 2024 19:10:31
There is no intel re signing another striker. I think a lot will depend on whether Onaucha stays and Stewart is genuinely close to full fitness. Keeper appears to be main focal point atm.
