    So the Sun have us down as getting Kevin De Bruyne from Chelsea on loan ;) I hope so, great player...
    That would be a decent signing. Good attacking midfielder!

    Now to sign some defenders! If Shaw and Stephens have been promoted who's going to go out of Richardson/Butterfie
    ld and Fox/Harding. I'd keep Butterfield and get rid of the others personally. Bring in a prem left back and CB to give us more of a chance to cope with the world class players we'll be up against. Thoughts?"

No sign of interest in Upson

Matthew Upson Matthew Upson

Saints’ reported approach for former England centre half Matthew Upson is apparently simple rumour.

The Daily Echo understands that, contrary to reports in national newspapers, Saints have not contacted Stoke City regarding the 33-year-old defender, who has an estimated value of £500,000.

There has been widespread speculation that Saints will attempt to sign a new central defender this summer with Radhi Jaidi having retired leaving Jose Fonte, Jos Hooiveld, Aaron Martin and the recovering Dan Seaborne as options in that area.

None of those four have played in the Premier League and Saints are keen to recruit some greater top flight experience into their squad.

Upson certainly fits that bill having spent virtually an entire career amongst English football’s elite, having won 21 caps for his country and played in a World Cup. However, it is understood that no move has been made for Upson and that it is currently thought unlikely that any will be forthcoming.
