Maybe, I'm not sure to be honest. I want to try and win everything with Southampton and once I've done all I can with them I'll leave. Maybe for a big club or maybe for some random team from Belarus. I'll just see where it takes me

Sounds good mate :D
 

Georgie Thompson: Here on Sky Sports News, we'll be bringing you all the action from Transfer Deadline Day, and as I speak some news is coming in. Raheem Sterling will join Newcastle in the summer for a fee of 9 million pounds. The promising winger still needs to finish his loan spell at West Brom, but sources say he is itching to get started. Earlier today, we brought you news of Jack Rodwell's big money move to Man United and West Ham's 5 million pound swoop for 34 year old Brede Hangeland.

JONES TASTES FIRST DEFEAT IN POOR DEFENSIVE DISPLAY
​
Joe Jones will not have been happy with his sides defensive display last night after they lost 5-4 to Fulham. Steven Taylor and Davide Santon ended the match with an "FM Rating" of just 5.2 and have been fined for their poor performance. However, there were positives in the match, with Papiss Cisse bagging a hat-trick and Andy Carroll getting his first goal of his 2nd spell on Tyneside. Joe Jones quoted the following - "We were appalling at the back tonight. Our defenders, bar Patrick van Aanholt, didn't turn up. However, Papiss was great and that will do wonders for his confidence. I'll let the team off because they managed to get points against Spurs and City, but they can know they can't just give up points like that again"

JONES WANTED BY EUROPE'S FINEST!
​

Joe Jones has been made job offers from 3 top European clubs, thought to be Juventus, Inter Milan and Manchester United. The Inter job is available after Claudio Ranieri's retirement, Antonio Conte was sacked by Juve after failing to qualify for the Champions League, finishing 7th in Serie A, and former United manager Roberto Donadoni joined AC Milan off the back off his title win with Man U. Newcastle fans have consigned themselves to losing Jones, and favourites for the job are Lee Clark, Martin Petrov and assistant at the club Graeme Jones.

JONES JOINS UNITED!
​

Joe Jones has joined Manchester United on a four-year deal. The news came late last night. Jones replaces Roberto Donadoni, who this year won the title with the Manchester Club. Jones started his career at Swansea and has gone on to manage Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle before resigning to take the United post. Jones had this to say:
"It doesn't get better than this. I fell I've completed my journey and the United job is something I have dreamed of all my life. I promise to bring continue the success that Roberto Donadoni was enjoying, and maybe even surpass it."
The Newcastle board weren't available for comment.

 


Georgie Thompson: More on that later. And, some breaking news coming in. Manchester United have signed their first players of the season. Gareth Bale and Abel Hernandez have both joined United, with Bale coming in for £24m and Hernandez for £23m. This shows Jones' obvious intent to take the league by storm with the resources at his disposal. Also rumoured to be on their way in are youngsters Milan Lakakovic and George Sharpe.
