The Official Southampton FC Thread

[SS2.]

We seem to be on a roll - it's a shame next season doesn't start in a week or so.

[Paul_B]

Get in boys!! Lets try and keep this momentum for next season!

Still a couple of quality additions needed though.

Well happy for Che today!

[The jiffle king]

If Ralph can keep the core of the team then looks ok for next season

[Legacywr]

I guess we need to start discussing a price for Ings, after all, we know what a Saints summer is like

£60m?

[SS2.]

He's recently been looking at houses around my way - hopefully, that's a sign he's hanging around these parts for a little while.

[joshleb]

Very happy with 11th in the end, second half of the season was great.

Must be a kick in the teeth for Ings knowing that Vardy scored a hat-trick in the drumming they gave us.

[Legacywr]

Lallana signs for Brighton.

I know what you mean, however, something feels a bit different this summer. I don't want to tempt fate but I genuinely can't see Ings going.

Yep, I'd agree with you. I think he'll stay another season, although if he continues this form I reckon someone will snatch him up in a years time.

[The jiffle king]

I think and hope that Ings will stay but if someone wants a 20 goal striker then he might be an option although he's only done it for 1 season. He's also a big fish in a small pond and seems to like playing rather than warming the bench

If he can stay injury free like this season, then I see another 20 goals

Is that official now?

[tobinen]

They are having medicals this week according to The Telegraph

Both look like good deals to me. Dump the ego, sign the hungry talent.

Both transfers now completed.

The other transfer, Mohamed Salisu, is still happening isn't it?

Any others being considered either in or out?

[joshleb]

Very happy with KWP, surprised that Spurs were so eager to let him go.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Hojberg either, had mis moments but they wouldn't be very often.

Confirmed on the OS earlier today

[pequod]

Another possible signing, Orel Mangala for £6mill might be a good long term prospect for Saints?
