Saganowski has returned and been played restricting the possibility of a move abroad. Smith has signed permanently, Saints have finally signed an imposing centre back in Saeijs and that rarest of things an actual full back in Lee Molyneux.
There is even better news from Italy that current Norwich loanee and one time Arsenal youngster striker Arturo Lupoli is set to sign on loan from Fiorentina. Saints have struggled for goals all season and Lupoli is comfortable at attacking midfield or up front and would fit well into Saints' formation.
At 5 foot 8 he's not the big target man we lack, but he is quick, skillful and still improving in front of goal and would be a valuable addition to the squad.
The Man Utd revenue certainly helped, but Rupert Lowe stated that this would not been enough in itself to avoid player sales, so why are the club yet to offload any players despite bringing yet more players in?
The answer has been brought into sharper focus by comments from two of the remaining high earners, Rudi Skacel and now Jason Euell. Skacel expressed his desire to move and certainly the club will not stand in his way.
Jason Euell is once again frozen out as the club try to pressurise him into a move, much to the player's frustration:
"With the transfer window now open, I find myself in exactly the same situation as I did in August - frozen out of the team, then left out of the squad entirely for last Saturday's game at Barnsley, in the hope that I will be sold off to ease Southampton's financial problems.
