As the transfer window heads into its last 60 hours comes the news that Sheffield United may be calling St Mary's about a striker, but it is not the obvious candidate that you would think !
The news from Yorkshire is that Sheffield United are interested in taking Sekou Mara to Bramall Lane, footballleagueworld.co.uk are carrying the story and claim that there are several clubs interested in taking Sekou Mara on loan for the rest of the season and that the Blades are one of them.
The article goes on to say that at the moment at least Saints aren't interested in letting Mara go and are looking to keep the squad together in this window.
It seems that although some Saints fans can't see the benefit of having a big squad and the ability to bring on experienced fresh legs in the closing stages of a game, Russell Martin can and unless Saints are able to bring in a replacement for Mara, they will not let him go.
