17 there.....I wonder how many will actually sign for Saints.

And Bertrand was not mentioned......   

Once more flying under the radar. More to come I hope.

Looks like we have been finding it hard to get someone to come this way in exchange for Osvaldo.......Taider? Campagnaro? Schelotto?

It looks from the comments on Schelotto that he is not very good....   

I agree Mike. I think Saints should probably ignore this one if what the comments say are true.

There seems to be much currently being said about midfielders coming in but (unless Schneiderlin and Cork are on the way out) we need defenders and strikers more?

I can't somehow see us signing United's Hernandez.......and things seem to have gone quiet on Gnabry and Rojo.....it would be really nice to see us get the three of them. Plus another central defender.

Yeah weekend nearly over and no new faces, and it is centre halfs and strikers we need, have to replace Lovren which will be hard and really need a replacement ofr Hoovield unless Stephens is going to step up
