Forecast good for Saints

Southampton have announced the signing of young goalkeeper Tommy Forecast from Spurs for an undisclosed fee.
Forecast has long been tipped as a future Spurs number one, but the signing of Heurelho Gomes this summer suggested that head coach Juande Ramos had other ideas.
With just six appearances on the Spurs bench last season, Forecast is clear that a move was necessary for him to start playing regular football.
"I am really pleased it is all sorted," the 21-year-old told the club's official website.
"There were a few clubs interested in me but, as soon as I found out Southampton wanted me, my mind was made up.
"They are a huge club with a big fan base - they are a Premiership club really and I feel I can go places with them.
"There are a lot of good young players here and I have been very impressed by what I have seen so far."
