BBC Radio Solent sports editor Adam Blackmore, posting on X:
"So as we reach the end of the window, it might be busier than we thought at Saints. As per Fabrizio Romano, signing Victor Udoh from Antwerp could help the Cameron Archer to Leeds move.
"Sam Amo-Ameyaw should complete to Strasbourg - hopefully Loubadhe Abakar Sylla comes the other way.
"One or two more out on loan would trim the squad for Ivan Juric to work with - Ryan Fraser? Gavin Bazunu?"
What do you want on deadline day?published at 07:37 3 February

We asked you what would ensure you are satisfied this deadline day.
Here are some of your comments:
Henry: I feel we need a centre-back and I would love us to sign a striker. A central midfielder would be perfect, but I am unsure about wages to revenue.
Simon: Let's be real, the best we can hope for is a couple of loans. If we sign anyone of note, they're signing on the basis that we are in the Championship next season.
Lucy: I think we need to keep hold of Tyler Dibling because he is a very talented youngster who we can grow. We should try and recruit one more defensive midfielder for strength in depth in defence. If Aaron Ramsdale goes, then we need a replacement goalkeeper and if Dibling goes, we will need a young winger as well.
Mike: We need a quality centre-back pairing - it's been a weakness for years. Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Armel Bella-Kotchap are OK but Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens shouldn't be anywhere near the first team. One quality centre-back at least.
George: Frankly, I don't think even a couple of world-class players would save us from going down, so it would be best to hold onto the money or invest for the Championship. We're still digging ourselves out of the PSR-shaped hole [profit and sustainability rules] we dug this time a couple of years ago, when we made a raft of ineffective signings. Avoiding missteps will give us a better budget should we bounce right back up again.
Andy: We need someone to score goals. Preferably someone with experience and not a young player for the future, as we have plenty of those.

Juric 'has organised us so we don't mess up'published at 15:29 2 February

Former Southampton player Jo Tessem believes supporters should "cherish every moment" of their win at Ipswich Town, as manager Ivan Juric claimed his first victory thanks to Paul Onuachu's late goal.
Speaking on BBC Radio Solent's Goin' Home with Adam and Jo podcast, Tessem said: "Football is all about moments. You have to cherish every moment you get a win because we have had so many losses this season.
"Ivan Juric took on a job that looked destined to go wrong, but he has worked hard and put in a new system. We are seeing progress. Even though the points hadn't come before this game, we had been close a few times. We definitely look more like a Premier League team.
"He got tested in this game as well because he made so many changes and had to adjust. You don't have to change your centre-backs very often, but he had to change two of them because of injuries to Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens. That would have made it much more difficult for him on the touchline.
"I'm impressed with the clarity in how we press, how we defend together and how we attack together. We still have lots of improvements to make with our attacking, but Ivan Juric has come in and organised us so that we don't mess up.
"We now look like we can compete against the teams we are playing against."
Aribo hopes to keep giving fans 'something to cheer about'published at 12:25 2 February

Joe Aribo says it was "an amazing feeling" to help Southampton claim their 2-1 win over fellow relegation strugglers Ipswich Town, and thanked the travelling Saints fans for "always being there" for the team this season.
Speaking to BBC Radio Solent after the victory, Aribo said: "I'm buzzing that we got the result but just seeing the fans always being with us, week in week out, feels good.
"They are always backing us and always singing, regardless of the results or performances. It's an amazing feeling to give them the result and for them to have something to cheer about.
"It is a massive result. We knew how big this game was for us and the manager gave us pointers on what we needed. We went into the game, we fought and battled, and we got the result we wanted."
On scoring his third Premier League goal of the season, Aribo added: "A few of the boys were giving me a bit of stick because it came off my shin! I always want to time my runs into the box and score as many goals as I can.
"I just want to keep putting in performances, that's the important thing for me. I want to be working hard day to day, training and making sure I'm recovering and doing everything right.."
Ipswich 1-2 Southampton - the fans' verdictpublished at 10:58 2 February

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Ipswich Town and Southampton.
Here are some of your comments:
Ipswich fans
Dave: Simply not good enough. Muric has shown that he is not up to the required standard yet again. We can't score enough goals and then defend well enough to hold on, plus we no longer have the impact players on the bench to grab late goals. We are now staring down the barrel and it will take a minor miracle to save us from the drop.
Jon: It's a shame to see how we approach games. We had to go for the jugular but we have lost our way. We have the players to win games, but they are trying to be heroes. There is no connection running through them and we are too slow. We can't beat the worst team in the league at home, and Saints looked awful. That says it all. We must do much better.
Trevor: Absolute rubbish. Hugely disappointed. That's my weekend ruined.
Andy: It was always going to be a close game but being on the wrong side of it makes me feel, and probably the rest of the fanbase feel, that relegation is more likely than not. I'm still very much behind McKenna, but bringing Muric back into the starting line-up seemed destined to lead to mistakes. A costly choice.
Derek: If McKenna is so great, why do we still have no goalkeeper? Muric has lost us at least 12 points this season.
Southampton fans
John: Great win. The fans were amazing, as always. One more win to get the dreaded 'Derby record' tag away from us. The manager has definitely got the players performing well, so it is really pleasing for him to get his first win.
Bill: We did well, away from home with two new players. Our central defence is worrying, but we came through. Still a long way to go. Bournemouth blow hot and cold, so we might surprise them. The fans were great.
Steve: If we are going to do anything for the rest of the season, we need to have our best players on the pitch as much as possible. Unfortunately, I don't feel he knows who they are yet. This result was very welcome, but I don't think it changes anything.
Kenny: The spine we thought to be key to our starting XI is in fact... the problem. Stephens, Downes, Armstrong. Juric is no fool, it's not all about him. He looks up for this.

Ipswich 1-2 Southampton: Saints show resolve against fellow strugglerspublished at 18:54 1 February

Southampton produced a performance brimming with grit and determination as they claimed only their second Premier League win of the season at fellow strugglers Ipswich.
And judging by the way they celebrated Paul Onuachu's late winner it appears as though Ivan Juric's side retain the belief that they are still capable of producing one of the Premier League's great escapes and preserving their top-flight status.
While Ipswich's failings in the final third helped their cause there was much to admire about Southampton's display in East Anglia.
The loss of central defenders Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens to injury was offset by a superb performance from Joe Aribo and there were also promising debuts for Welington at left-back and on-loan Rennes midfielder Albert Gronbaek.
The introduction of Kamaldeen Sulemana delivered some much needed attacking thrust and with unused substitute, Tyler Dibling, still to come back into an improving side there may yet be some cause for optimism.
'We will play with heart and passion'published at 18:08 1 February

Southampton boss Ivan Juric has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day about getting his first win as a Premier League manager: "It's a great feeling. The guys deserved it because they worked a lot. They played some good games where we lost, but today we won. The character is always there. We will enjoy tonight, that's for sure."
On holding onto their lead: "It was really tough because Ipswich played really good but, with the changes and with the pace of Kamaldeen Sulemana, we did some really good things. He is a player that we need, he is direct.
"Now we are just waiting for [Tyler] Dibling, and then we will be even better than today."
On Paul Onuachu's goal: "I'm sure he can score lots of goals. He has the characteristics and he is really working hard. A great man."
On whether exceeding Derby's 11-point record is a motivation for his side: "No, it's a bad motivation. We have won today and I think the team can improve themselves, play good matches and we can do something really special. That is our idea, we have to have good character and improve every game."
On whether he thinks Southampton can stay up: "I don't know what will happen. We will see. We will play with heart and passion, that's what I want."
On Welington and Albert Gronbaek making their debuts: "I think they gave us a hand. Welington had a really good game, he was very tired because he hadn't played for six months. Albert had some opportunities in the first half with his technique. I think they will give us a big hand."

Southampton goalscorer Paul Onuachu has been speaking after sealing the late victory: "It was an intense game but, towards the end of the first half, we showed character. You have to fight and we fought and got the three points. Very important.
"It doesn't matter how we score, it is about fighting to survive. Luckily the goalkeeper passed it out and I had to be there to finish it."
On whether this result could be a turning point: "Yeah. When you are in this situation as a team, where even though you play good you lose, it is difficult. But, hopefully it is a new beginning.
"It is all about training and taking each game at a time. We try to fight to get points. That's what we are here for - to fight and to try to survive."
On what his goal means to the team: "It is special for the team, especially today. It is our first win, our first three points under the new manager. It is a new beginning for us. We just have to keep fighting and see where we end up."

Southampton have ended their 13-game streak without a win in the Premier League, also securing their first top-flight victory on the road in 20 games.
Paul Onuachu (86:38) netted Southampton's latest winning goal in a Premier League away game since Charlie Austin's strike against Manchester United at Old Trafford in January 2016 (86:40).

Sutton's predictions: Ipswich v Southamptonpublished at 11:20 1 February
11:20 1 February
Southampton's fight is not about whether they can stay up, it is whether they can avoid being the worst Premier League team of all time and beat Derby County's total of 11 points from 2007-08.
Ipswich are still battling to avoid relegation, but I am worried about them in this game.
I am not sure whether to go with my heart or my head - well, when I say my heart I am actually thinking of my daughter's teacher, Mr Fields, who is an Ipswich fan.
If they lose this, it would be very damaging for their hopes of surviving. I'd go so far as saying I'd be buying a white flag of surrender for Mr Fields to wave whenever he sees me when I drop my daughter off at school.
These two sides drew 1-1 earlier in the season, when a 95th-minute Sam Morsy goal denied Saints the win.
I don't think Ipswich will keep a clean sheet this time, either, but I am backing Liam Delap to come good, and help them pick up what would be a huge three points.

Juric 'having to re-educate' Southampton's playerspublished at 17:46 30 January
17:46 30 January
On the latest episode of the Saints and Sinners podcast, Adam Blackmore assesses Ivan Juric's tenure so far as Southampton boss:
"I think he has come into a very difficult situation. Because of the precise way they were trying to play, Juric is having to undo a lot of stuff to get towards where he wants to be.
"It's not like they were halfway towards how he wants to play the game. He's had to re-educate the players in the way he wants to do things. I think that takes a long time.
"He's not had a lot of time on the training ground. Although they still have lost every game in January, they were better at Old Trafford and they were better in the second half at Forest. They need to be better for longer periods. Part of that is the quality of the players and the squad he's got.
"I think it's early enough to judge him on what he's doing and how he's setting the team up. If you're doing that, he's done OK in the way they have played."

Southampton boss Ivan Juric has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Ipswich (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On previously injured duo Tyler Dibling and Kamaldeen Sulemana: "Kamaldeen and Dibling had training with us today, and they will be with us. Dibling has recovered already - he did all the training today and he's ready."
On Jack Stephens' return to training: "I'm very happy Stephens is with us, They did a great job with his recovery. He's done two training sessions with us without any problems, and sometimes that doesn't happen. He's a quality and competitive player. I like him a lot."
On who will miss out on Saturday through injury: "We have problems with Ryan Fraser and Nathan Wood, not big ones, but they will be out for this game."
On the quality of new signing Wellington's quality: "He's very technical and intelligent. Sometimes I like to push him to attack a little bit more, but I think he can become a really good player for us."
On whether Wellington will feature against Ipswich: "Now I know him better. He's been training very, very well and I will give him a chance against Ipswich, either at the beginning or during the match."
On potential transfers before the end of the window: "No activity. Everything quiet."
On the spirit of his players: "The players are improving even if it's tough to see. We are getting better but we are losing the games. I see that we are improving and this week was very positive. I really hope that we can win one game, and then we get more confidence for the next game."
On Ipswich Town: "They're a very good team. They have talented players, I've seen lots of games and they play well."

Leeds are targeting a move for Southampton striker Cameron Archer with early talks having taken place.
It is unclear whether a deal can be achieved but the 23-year-old is open to a move before deadline day.
Other options are believed to be on the table as Archer seeks a guaranteed starting role after increasingly finding himself on the bench under recently appointed Saints manager Ivan Juric.
