They say that the transfer window is the "silly season" but for this week it could be the "Solly Season" with Saints rumoured to have bid for Brighton winger Solly March.

The latest name on Saints radar according to the rumour mill is Brighton youngster Solly March, just turned 20 the left footed winger actually has little first team experience at the Seagulls having played only 7(16) games in the Championship for the Sussex club although he has 4 caps for the England U21 side.

Although highly rated March would not be seen as an immediate first team player at St Mary's although I would guess that the club would hope that he would make quick progression rather than an impact now.

With so much money to spend though it is good to see that Ronald Koeman is thinking not just of his first team now, but in years to come and is looking to build his squad rather than just rely on a hard core of players.

SaintNick added 15:15 - Aug 14 March played the first hour against us recently so perhaps Koeman saw him then
