Handshake - plenty of deals will be agreed in the Premier League this summer Handshake - plenty of deals will be agreed in the Premier League this summer

Welcome to the semi-annual Southampton FC transfer rumour round-up list, where the Daily Echo collates all the transfer rumours currently doing the rounds.

Here is a list of all the players linked with moves to - and away from - Southampton during the 2013 summer transfer window.

If you come across a rumour you think has some substance to it, add it to the comments below and we'll add it to the list.

Don't forget - these are just rumours. Although there may well be some level of interest, not every deal can go ahead!

Of course, that's not to say there wasn't some interest in the first place.

We are also collecting together the Premier League rumours every day, in our daily rumour mill, which will provide the latest transfer tales from all of Saints' divisional rivals in the Premier League.

I think Ponch has actually got a really tough job this close season deciding where to bring in new faces and what sort of players he's looking for.

The links to left and right backs are interesting, but slightly worrying. If we do sign in this area I'd like to think they will be players who are happy to be around the fringes, but equally they need to be quality to put pressure on the youngsters.

Getting the balance right will be tricky I think.

Players I'd like to see as definite first names on the team sheet next season would be: Shaw, Clyne, Cork, Spider, Rickie (unless we really do buy big). I'd also include Adam, but I know many on here don't rate his performances this season. And Boruc could also be in there unless they buy someone young of great quality. The fact they passed on Butland though suggests that one is covered.

Maya or Forren could also be first choices, but that all depends on who we bring in.

Ramirez SHOULD be a first choice based on his flashes of quality, but he's going to have to consistently deliver if he wants to do that. Whether MP cashes in on him for his own choice in that position remains to be seen.

Just in case you've missed the point, this an article collating all the rumours published elsewhere.

The clue is in the name: transfer rumour round up.

There's a rumour that a new rumour will be planted at 1.30pm. This isn't an official rumour, but the rumour is that the new rumour will be official.

We shouldn't get over-excited though, because we discovered last summer that official rumours are not fully accredited unless they are designated as fully authorised official rumours - and even then they need bona fide sanction.

This makes life harder than it need be for anxious fans and my own view is that the various layers of certification of rumours need to be reduced, with nothing below "ratified rumour" status being planted in the first place and only "countenanced rumours" being considered for ratification (and others being marked as sub-warranted gossip).

The sad consequence of all of this is that there are a lot of arguments on here about whether a rumour is any good or not instead of energies being stored for arguments about the actual content of the rumours.

Of course it could be that the official rumour which rumoured to be issued at 1.30pm will be a statement about rumours, rather than an actual rumour itself.

Meanwhile, we should keep clear heads.

Transfer window doesn't open until the morning.

Granero I would as a replacement for Gaston Ramirez, very similar attacking midfielders, however he's not a good as Gaston.

Heh - fair point. But at least when people are demonstrating how little they know about stuff on the other threads I do at least know who it is they know f*** all about.

This thread is going to be all "Phillippe Santander-Bastardo from Racing Algiers is coming into St Marys for a trial" and it's like even if they're right (which is exceptionally unlikely) I'll still be none the wiser.

Don't we have to wait until July 1st, before the transfer window officially opens???

If so, can transfers be completed by way of a pre-contractual agreement, that comes into being on July 1st??

MP said he wanted all his transfers completed by July 1st, so I guess it is possible.

Reading this from ESPN it sounds like Nicola will really like this guy:

... the Croatia international centre-back fell out of favour at OL following an interview with Sportske Novosti in which he criticised the club.

Also, seems odd that they are quoting £8 million for a player that they don't want, especially for a defender. Think they might have seen us coming.

I see Spurs could pick up Mario Gomez from Bayern for a similar sized fee.

Les Reed did an interview and said he was in charge of transfers and not the manager. That was well after the Pardew transfers of the likes of Lambert and Fonte but does include Sharp, Ramirez, Lee, Mayuka and Forren - only one of which occasionally makes the team. Michu and Coutinho were on his watch too.

How do you suggest we evaluate his performance?

There lies a problem, the secrecy within the Club gives us no chance to evaluate, no harm in speculation using the crumbs that we are fed upon, but no one can add the word 'fact' to anything they say, because they cannot produce any authoritatve source. Like the newspapers, if you don't know the facts, make something up, and as we all know, mud sticks, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. When you are proved to be wrong a minimalist apology suffices, but the damage is done.

That
Sorry, I disagree, this is rambling by someone who has had too many sherbets. Threatening behaviour, IN MY OPINION, is not to be condoned. Support your team, shout all you like, but leave the threats and abusive behaviour behind, no good will come from it. Seedy, you are old enough to know better, don't encourage thugs, we don't need them, from either side.
It's all about respect. It's easy to hide behind multiple logins like Osprey .. be a closet Brighton Fan ... and merge into the masses in Kingsland South. The facts are for Wet Spam (read mill wall) ... they are of the same cloth. Is it right that their fans come down to FIGHT and goad and abuse our fans on the streets of Southampton. The Osprey solution must surely be give them applause and bring the family out to meet the yobs. You must be gutted that the seagulls have lost their manager and predicted to go into free fall. WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON. BY STRENGTH AND GUILE - WE FIGHT AND WIN. COYR
Careful of what you accuse me of, I repeat, I now use one sign in, I don't like bullies and thugs, I have nothing to do with Brighton, I detest Poyet. The best way to treat those idiots from other teams that you refer to, is to walk away and leave them looking stupid, to behave like them is lowering yourself to their level. I don't doubt your loyalty, I do judge your level of intelligence.
Agree that ideal is to walk away and no place for fighting etc BUT there are definitely times when our "lads" stepping in protects those less able to defend themselves or move out of their way. Not pretty or my cup of tea but reality is turning the other cheek just means you get punched on it
reality is turning the other cheek just means you get punched on it..." Yes, that was the whole idea!
Hey, don't get me wrong, if a fellow Saints fan was being attacked, I would probably step in and help, but there is no sense inviting trouble, the risk of a Court case and possible imprisonment would certainly affect my judgement, he who learns to walk away lives to fight another day. In the old days of standing, I saw many a time where someone created a problem and as soon as it all kicked off, they were nowhere to be seen, but you knew who was responsible, but they never got caught, but some decent fans got hurt, and some got arrested, is that fun, I say not in my name, it just ain't Saintly is it?
Not in my name either.....strangely the most "eager" ones seemed to be the ones a few rows back who couldnt ever quite get to the action and so shouted loudly whilst pushing other poor souls into the firing line

An interesting name (maybe on loan?): Morata, Academy striker of Real Madrid (and Sapin's U21). I am sure they would prefer to see him playing in England than reinforcing a Spanish squad.

OK, back to potential signings.

Victor Moses might do a job for us.

Depends on what our ideas are on wage structures and what he's on I guess. Seems Gaston is on a lot of money so maybe we have flex.

If so, Nani for £8 million isn't such a bad option if you want a tricky winger.

Personally, I'm surprised he looks like going for that sort of money when he's 26 and, if he had a consistent run of games, can be destructive (and not just to opponent's ribs).

Nani would be an amazing signing imo. Could our people convince his people we ARE going places?

Try business pages or the like, come to think of it, you haven't indicated what service you are looking for...I know word of mouth is always good for recommends...but clearly the opposite if it's just a scrap you're looking for...?
There is always The Borer and Solent Interiors, they like a fight.

We must sign a PL quality goalkeeper.
We have one who's over the hill, one who's a novice, signed for far too much money, and one who is a carpet bagger, stop gap, panic signing.
If we don't sign a quality goalkeeper then we will be languishing in the bottom 3 all next season just as we were for most of the last.
As LMcM said when he signed Shilts a good goalkeeper is worth 10 to 15 points a season.
But what does LMcM know about football compared to Nicola Cortese?

Pretty good stop gap panic signing! If he was, can we have some more of those please? And using your example, I'd say in half a season Boruc was worth a good 5-7 points at least? Not sure we'd have survived without him.

Strangely I was just thinking how lucky we are to have found one of the best keepers in the PL ......... Note Man City game here, AB smothered everything and caught every shot where as Joe H try to parry every shot and the one he tried to catch shot through his legs .................

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...............

Do you know what the phrase 'carpet bagger' actually means? You should google it. You could perhaps apply it to Richard Branson but not Artur Boruc.

You and Arfer and Osprey support the Saints and that is good enough.

i'm beginning to get a little frustrated with us not having signed anyone or if the club doesn't want to announce completed deals at least reassure the fans they do want to improve the squad. If EVERY other club can do some business why aren't we ??? I think Les Reed is a massive problem at the club and I don't honestly believe he has the clubs interests at heart. MP should in my opinion be the sole controller of players in and out and targets

I don't know. I had business in Redditch of all places I never heard of(What kind of place or weather, on earth was that all about!) and logged in too late to win.

Steady tiger, there is no sense in rushing in, the Transfer Window opens July 1st.The fixtures are out very soon, worry about that first.
I am sure that there are negotiations going on behind the scenes, both inwards and outgoing. No good making an issue about Les Reed and Co. coz we don't know whether what he is doing is good or bad, only time will tell, I am not going to judge just on rumour and inuendo, that would be foolish.
