They are said to be interested and linked with a couple of foreign strikers cant remember their names.

So, given that they need established PL players they'd sell there best goalscorer and replace him with a couple of foreign players that may or may not flop. If that's true then Adkins is more of an idiot than I thought.

Your all mental if you think that this is a thing that could happen. Can anyone tell me why Southampton would sell him?

Because he looks off the Premier League pace and they're beginning to doubt whether he'll score enough goals to keep them up. He was anonymous against Sunderland. He may be "their best goalscorer" but they may have to upgrade, even though Nige is wary of January panic buys.

No chance of it happening. Would be an odd swap anyway. Wasn't Rickie Lambert involved in a fight in a nightclub last year? Maybe he'll fit in well with KLL.

If I remember correctly they are well sort after players by other clubs so not just anybodys, with no hope.

Buckley for Lambert and Bennett for CMS = promotion. FACT. Highly unlikely though.

Getting there. We'd need a 2nd striker to come in and a central defender as well, as when Dunk is having time off for court we are down to just 2.

I dont think that we will get a central defender during January but will in the summer when Greers contract is due for renewal.

We really can't make do with just 2 in the squad while Dunk has a couple of weeks or so off training for his court case. Seems a little reckless to me.

Agreed, but the first part of equation is never going to happen.

However, if this Buckley stuff is true.... and both Norwich and Saints do want our players, we should insist on a player + cash deal for both our players.

what may work and be achievable if both could happen. Is Buckley + cash for Billy Sharp (on loan at Forest and they say they are not sure they will be able to buy him http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/southampton/transfer-talk/news/forest-unsure-over-sharp-signing_60921.html), with also CMS + Cash for Bennett.

If those could both go through, as sickening as it would be to lose Buckley, Bennett would come back in for Buckley, Sharp instead of CMS and Poyet has a pocket full of cash for someone else.

Would happily swap CMS AND Hoskins AND Dobbie PLUS a hefty cash sum for Lambert. Pass it along the ground in a forward play stylee to the effective bloke up front aye? Shite forwards are all that stand between us and taking it to the next level.

We've got the best wingers in the division in Buckley and LuaLua. Should not be looking at getting rid of either of them anytime soon. Cos we won't sign anywhere near better or even like for like at the price.
