This is what it'll be like for those who have been away (since the 'talks') and come back

From saintsweb itk "Saint_ed"

I've been told that our final two deals are imminent and that will definitely be it as far as recruitment for this window. We seem very confident of getting these two done as we are no longer looking at alternative options. That makes me think that perhaps we MAY have moved on from Townsend to an alternative.

I don't have names unfortunately.

Hopefully one is a Schneiderlin replacement.

I think it's just a case of Southampton having a set value that we need to meet now, albeit a very high one. They've probably shifted the goalposts to get to that value hoping they can hook us in further and further. Fair play to Schneiderlin, since his recent outburst he's obviously decided not to rock the boat. On one hand I respect him for starting the season with his club and not sulking, but on the other it makes me think that if he was that desperate to leave them or join us he'd be making it well known. I think he's happy to see where it goes. Perhaps he feels that if we and Poch value him that much then we'll put our money where our mouths are and cough up. If not, then he'll stay at Sotton as the big fish.

Just finished watching the Soton game. He is not a 20 million pound player. I'd forget him and play Bentaleb.

You're watching him in the second game of the season under a manger he doesn't want to play for. Don't judge based on that.

If Sandro going got DL trying to pull pants down on the last day written all over it if at all possible. Personally cant see it. Bentaleb can be as good with the guidance. MS wasn't great until poch and team sorted him out

Good news on MS from both Trix and Sir Goat! There seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes and also a fair bit of PR with this deal.

Watching todays match really showed how important the two CMs are to the way we want to play so I can certainly understand why Poch would want him so much. Not sure if our other CMs apart from the two that started today have the quick pressing and rapid distribution abilities vital to the system.

I think Demeble has a role - Capoue, Schneiderlin, Bentaleb, and Dembele would make for a nice group of CMs

Absolutely plus when Paulinho has had a good rest (he hasn't stopped for over two yrs) he can play a part as well as being able to play a role further forward at times
