Saints are being reported as having agreed a £12 million pound fee for Hull City Striker Shane Long tonight.
Sky sports and other media outlets are reporting that Saints have had a £12 million pound bid accepted for Hull City's Shane Long, the Republic Of Ireland International only joined Hull in January and scored 4 goals in his 15 league games for the Tigers after arriving from West Brom where he had a similar strike rate of 19 goals in 60(21) appearances for the Baggies.
Long made his name at Reading before West Brom and at 27 is at a stage in his career where his strike rate although not shoddy has not quite propelled him into the higher echelons of strikers, however its good to see Saints getting in a player with Premier League experience as so far in the summer although we have signed players with track records in other countries we are a little short on those who know just what is needed in the Premier.
What is good though is that we are building a squad rather than just a team.
