Southampton want transfer window shortened, confirms chairman Ralph Krueger
Show/hide article…
Southampton are firmly in favour of closing the transfer window before future Premier League seasons kick off, according to chairman Ralph Krueger.
The English Football League announced its clubs will discuss closing the summer window early following reports that top-flight clubs are pushing for the same decision.
It is understood the matter will be raised at next month’s Premier League shareholders’ board meeting, and Krueger has confirmed Saints will be among the clubs driving change.
Southampton, like several others, have started this season with a disgruntled key player and the Virgil van Dijk situation has only underlined to Krueger the need for the window to change.
“I think that it’s the system we need to look at, so we’re a huge proponent of closing the transfer window before the season starts,” Krueger said.
"We’re a huge proponent of looking at why these kinds of situations even evolve.
"I don’t see Virgil so much as a reason to put it all on him - I think it is part of what is happening in football and it is happening in other clubs.
"I don’t need to list them, you know there’s other clubs that have similar situations, so it’s not like we’re the only one and I have to say the key is how (Southampton manager) Mauricio Pellegrino has dealt with the situation.
“He is a very strong leader and he has kept everybody on the job and focused, and he has even dealt with Virgil very well and they are communicating openly with each other.”

Virgil van Dijk in London: Chelsea target’s location exposed on Instagram

Virgil van Dijk could still leave Southampton despite their strong stance he is not for sale
Southampton insisted today that the wantaway centre-half will not be sold this summer.
The Dutchman has been pushing for a move to Liverpool.
But he would also be open to the prospect of joining Premier League champions Chelsea.
Van Dijk is currently training alone but Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino hopes to get him back on board once the window shuts.
Liverpool and Chelsea are still hunting the former Celtic ace, and Antonio Conte’s side could be edging closer.

Southampton make £15m bid for Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt
Show/hide article…
Sportsmail revealed their interest in the 23-year-old last month and the Holland international is open to the move.
Southampton insist Virgil van Dijk is not for sale this window though the player is intent on leaving with Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all keen.
Liverpool were warned over their approaches to Van Dijk earlier in the summer but that has not prevented the 26-year-old from voicing a desire to move to Anfield.
Chelsea have also been monitoring developments but Van Dijk wants to link up with Jurgen Klopp.
The 23-year-old was a target for Southampton last summer while Middlesbrough, Leicester and Everton have also considered the former Alkmaar centre back.
Hoedt is strong in the air, comfortable on the ball and a good reader of the game.

Saints pressing for transfer window reform
Show/hide article…
Saints are leading the movement to have the Premier League transfer window close before the start of the season.
They have suffered more than most as uncertainty over the future of various players has spilled through the summer and into the opening weeks of the campaign.
Multiple clubs have had to deal with situations like that surrounding Virgil van Dijk this year, and it has led to potential change, with bosses set to vote on the matter as Premier League clubs meet on September 7.
They need a two-thirds majority to get the move through, but all the indications are that they will succeed, meaning the rule will change before the start of next season.
Saints chairman Ralph Krueger said: “We are one of the biggest fans of that (the transfer window closing before the start of the season) and we have been a proponent of that for a couple of years now.
“As you know we have been one that has had the toughest last two weeks in August. We don’t mind September 1 as a date! As a date to kind of go 'yes, the door is closed.’ “We are a huge proponent of that happening before the season starts because for me, the managers in this league can’t really go to work until September 1.
“100 per cent you don’t own your dressing room until then and I believe it is better for the product, for the football, the managers, the fans, for everybody so let’s clear this up before the season starts.
“We have been a huge proponent of that.
“I was quite shocked my first summer. When I came in I said ‘what?’ And you remember that first summer. It was like ‘wow’ welcome to the Premier League.”

Chelsea Transfer News: Rose to snub Blues, Van Dijk in London, Drinkwater breakthrough
Show/hide article…
Chelsea are willing to double Danny Rose’s wages to £120,000 a week, according to the London Evening Standard.
But Tottenham will not sell their star left-back, despite his public outburst earlier this month.
Rose is desperate to join Manchester United but they have ditched plans to sign the 27-year-old.
And Starsport understands the Spurs defender has no interest in heading across London to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are strongly interested, but Rose has his heart set on United, meaning he looks set to stay with Tottenham.

A now-deleted Instagram photo of Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk apparently in London has ratcheted up speculation that he could be on his way to Chelsea.
Van Dijk handed in a transfer request to Saints 10 days ago in a bid to force his way out, with both Liverpool and Chelsea keen to sign the Dutchman.
And exciteable fans are saying Chelsea have jumped to the front of the queue after a picture posted on Instagram by @philipuby entitled ‘big dog’ used the London location to show the pair were in the capital.

Premier League questions: Romelu Lukaku to follow up opening day double? Will Spurs win at Wembley?

Premier League questions: Romelu Lukaku to follow up opening day double? Will Spurs win at Wembley?
Will Romelu Lukaku follow up his opening day double? Can Tottenham make a winning Wembley start? We take a look at this weekend’s Premier League questions.
After a pulsating opening weekend of the Premier League, the action continues with Manchester United travelling to Swansea for the early kick-off on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Premier League.
There’s also a Super Sunday double header, featuring Huddersfield v Newcastle and Tottenham v Chelsea from Wembley, while Monday Night Football sees Manchester City host Everton.
Ahead of the action, we consider the questions for each Premier League game this weekend…
Last weekend, Romelu Lukaku became the fourth Man Utd player to score twice on his Premier League debut following the likes of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, James Wilson and Marcus Rashford.
It was the dream start for Lukaku, who moved to Old Trafford from Everton for a club-record £75m this summer.
And now he’ll be looking to build on that performance against Swansea to become only the fifth player behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Federico Macheda and Louis Saha to net in his first two Premier League appearances for United.
Watford travel to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday looking to win in the Premier League for the first time since beating Sunderland on April 1, a run stretching back seven games.
New Watford manager Marco Silva may have begun his time in charge of the club with a creditable 3-3 draw at home to Liverpool on the opening day of the season, but the Portuguese will need to address his side’s ongoing struggles on the road if they are not to be involved in a relegation fight this season, starting on the south coast this weekend.
Palace face a daunting trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, but Frank de Boer and Co should head to Merseyside confident of causing an upset.
That is because the Eagles have won on each of their previous three league visits to Liverpool, although no side has won four consecutive top-flight games at Anfield since Arsenal in December 1935.
If Palace are to continue their winning run at the home of the Reds, though, then they will be looking to big-money striker Christian Benteke to fire them to victory.
However, the omens are good in this regard with the former Liverpool forward having scored five goals in his previous three league games at Anfield as an opposition player, more than he has at any other Premier League away ground.
Newly-promoted Brighton take on Leicester at the King Power on Saturday hoping to register their first Premier League point, or even points.
The Foxes may be just the team the Premier League new boys want to play, however, after getting the better of them both times they last met in the Championship in the 2013-14 season.
Not only that, but the Seagulls also beat Leicester home and away the previous occasion the two sides came face to face in the top flight in the 1980/81 campaign.
It is fair to say that Burnley striker Sam Vokes struggled up front for most of his first two campaigns in the Premier League, scoring just five times in 58 games.
However, when the Clarets really needed Vokes to find his scoring boots towards the end of last season, the Welshman delivered by netting five goals in their final six league encounters to guarantee survival.
And with a brace to help Sean Dyche’s team stun champions Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the new season, Vokes will surely be confident of continuing that impressive scoring run when West Brom come to Turf Moor on Saturday.
Southampton started the season with a 0-0 draw against Swansea at St Mary’s, meaning they have now failed to score in their last six home Premier League games.
Only Manchester City have ever had a longer such drought in the Premier League, with their run stretching to eight games between January and May in 2007.
Mauricio Pellegrino will be hoping Manolo Gabbiadini, Charlie Austin and Nathan Redmond can find their scoring boots when they welcome West Ham, who lost 4-0 to Manchester United on Sunday.
Super-sub Olivier Giroud came off the bench to head home Arsenal’s late winner in their dramatic 4-3 victory against Leicester City on Friday Night Football, the frontman’s 99th goal in all competitions for the club.
The France international will therefore be hoping to feature against Stoke at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday evening as he looks to become the 19th Gunner to register a century of goals for the north London club.
Huddersfield made a dream start to life back in the top flight, beating Crystal Palace 3-0 to record a comprehensive victory in the first Premier League game.
Only two newly-promoted sides have won their first two Premier League games - Hull City in 2016/17 and Bolton Wanderers in 2001/02.
However, the only sides to win both of their first two Premier League games were Coventry City and Norwich City, back in the first season of the competition.
David Wagner will be hoping his side can follow in the footsteps of Coventry and Norwich with victory over Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle.
With their move to Wembley while White Hart Lane is redeveloped, Tottenham’s Premier League title credentials have been questioned all summer, owed to their form in the Champions League at the home of English football last season.
Spurs have lost six out of their 10 previous fixtures at the national stadium since it was rebuilt.
However, Mauricio Pochettino’s went an entire campaign unbeaten at home at White Hart Lane in the league last season - the first time they’ve done this since 1964-65.
Can Spurs continue that excellent home form at Wembley? Pochettino will be hoping for a perfect start against an under-pressure Chelsea.
Wayne Rooney made the perfect start to his second spell at Everton, scoring the only goal of the game as Ronald Koeman’s side secured victory over Stoke at Goodison Park.
That goal takes Rooney, who overtook Sir Bobby Charlton in the all-time Manchester United goalscoring charts last season, to 199 in the Premier League.
And if he can find the net against Manchester City on MNF he would become only the second player to reach 200 Premier League goals after Alan Shearer.
