Konchesky out and Dominguez in?

Southampton sources are suggesting a possible bid for Paul Konchesky whose principal role this season has been as a substitute. Saints would allow Konchesky to play in his favoured left back position where he is seen at The Valley as more of a left midfielder. Both positions are, however, well covered at Charlton. After an early start to his career with the Addicks, Konchesky has never secured a regular first team place and spent a long time out on loan at Spurs.

Given Southampton's limited budget, Konchesky would not attract a big fee but it might cover the rumoured signing of central defender Sebastian Dominguez from Newell's Old Boys who recently won the Apertura. Keith Peacock's recent visit to Argentina may have been to look at Dominguez rather than striker Lopez. The fee for Dominguez would be around £1.3m. I have asked my Argentine correspondent for more information, but he was noted for a bizarre own goal which he chested past his own keeper. He would presumably be seen as a replacement for Fortune who is never quite consistent enough.
