Southampton sign Fonte

BBC Sport - Football - Southampton sign Jose Fonte from Crystal Palace

Very good centre-back from Palace.
These are the type of signings we should be after. A good catch for Saints.

he has dropped down a division because he expects to go straight back up......little chance with us I fear?

cost £1m+

There is no way he EXPECTS to go up this season, with Saints 10 points behind the play off places and 20 points off the automatic places.
I know technically players like that are out of our league, but if we are realistic about getting to the championship when we move into Falmer then we have to splash the cash on one or two players.

Southampton wont go up this season

They are also being linked with Neil Danns of Palace
I never realised that thier new Swiss owner is worh £2 BILLION
I would not be surprised if they did go up through the play-offs this season with that financial backing

Lets take the blue and white glasses of for a second, Saints or Albion?

I would bet against them to make promotion.
If anyone thinks they're not good enough, remember that they got 10 points deducted so without the fine - even with their current squad they'd be up there.

A few shrewd signings, and they're certainly going to be.
