The fact that Herc and JJ are both extremely quiet sounds like something is bering worked on, not suggesting something will happen but it does seem like attempts are being made. I guess we will see what happens once Moura is announced.

You realise they aren't actually involved in our deals right? :)

Not what they said

No but let's face it, whenever we've got to this stage of the window in recent years, when has 'we're trying for one more' ever actually resulted in one more?

I think it's Moura and out for us today and to be honest I'm relatively happy with that considering I didn't think we'd sign anyone.

Sorry to disappoint, but most likely they are quiet simply because there is nothing to report.

Agreed. If we were finished they'd just say. Obvs not to mean whatever it is will happen but still interesting
To be fair it's not that we are finished. I'm sure we're still trying but it seems like anything is highly unlikely now.

All we can do now is be happy when Moura is announced and fucking pray we don't sell anyone other than Llorente or Sissoko.

I get that but in all respect that means nothing, failures for what ever reason in the past don't affect this window at all, who would've thought we would've signed a player who can possibly improve our starting 11 in jan, we haven't done that for years.

ITKs and poch have said many times it's all about opportunities in Jan and I'm saying the silence from ITKs and therefore possibly their sources could show something has come up, as I've said who knows if it'll come to fruition but I'd be surprised if we've just decided to go home now we've got moura.

As much as I'd like more than Moura I'm surprised and delighted that we've got even just him. Feels like it's been a while since we've gottan a 'big name signing' like this. For me personally I feel the last one we'd made with the same or similar stature was Soldado. Add the fact that we seemingly tend to neglect the direct and pacy winger type players.

Also, I don't think we need loads to add to our squad. Arsenal for instance just signed Miki and Aubameyang and I still think their team needs a lot more work than ours so it's easy to criticise not going gung ho in the market and when seeing other teams doing more business but a lot of these teams need more work than us.

This was on the Southampton fans forum. We haven’t heard anything in here so I was just checking.
Go read the rules for this thread please. "just" check those, we wouldn't want to see you lose your access. this thread is for ITK, not some shithouse rumour you trawled up on the internet.

They're not gonna come in and say we're done, even if we are. That would spoil the fun for everybody plus nobody would bother coming into the transfer threads.

It's good to have a glimmer of hope that there could be one more it certainly keeps me coming back on the site regularly and enjoy deadline day.

Could be movement to other direction though, like KWP or such moving out to loan. Such moves, especially for those younger and on the fringe of 1st team have come rather quickly.
