Would be nice to hear something from Guan or K Billy, it seems they've been summoned to silence!

So is it £30m, £34.5m or £38.5m?!

Excellent start from Italy and Pelle.

Ive been saying Puel as in Fuel, might be wrong. Think it may be more like Pewel

Cat Le Tiss is joining?

Probably waiting for the "bad news" to get out the way, then we can announce Puel, and maybe a few contracts/new players will come soon after.

From what I have heard, Watson will stay for as long as Fraser is here - he thinks he's the nuts.

Still not sure why we're not going for Chamberlain and Chambers. Would be perfect, and be a great addition to the british core. Chamberlain is probably buyable for £15m.

He's lying....Bertrand signed a 4 and half year deal in Jan 2015....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2937145/Southampton-sign-Ryan-Bertrand-10m-Chelsea-four-half-year-deal.html Runs out in June 2019.

Seems kind of pointless to have an additional £2m. Might as well just call it a guarenteed £35m.

Transfer fees are so crazy this summer, and given the referendum the transfer fees this summer if buying from abroad are inflated due to the FX rate, this doesn't seem enough for me. Domestic transfers this summer should be crazy money, £30m doesn't quite cut it I'm afraid.

Reed/JWP/Davis/Clasie are a no go because they're too small. Romeu could do a job short term but not sure he is the answer. Sure we have a few lined up, shame about Krychowiak as he'd be perfect, but think we all knew he'd be too ambitious for us. Idrissa Gueye, Ignacio Camacho, Christoph Kramer, Axel Witsel?

This seems to be gathering pace in the media....worrying, especially at £30m. Would be good to hear something from our resident ITK's (Guan/K Billy)

Crikey - Pellegrini out, Garcia out, Moyes and Howe out..... Sounds like its going to be Puel....

True, thought they might just release it through Jeremy Wilson or Radio Solent though rather than through the OS

Strange the club is commenting on gossip in such a way (i havent yet watched this) A bit "West Ham". http://www.whufc.com/News/Articles/2016/May/18-May/The-Insider The weirdest thing I've seen on an OS.

Would be massive to get him tied down onto a longer deal, at least we won't end up in a Wanyama/Clyne situation which this is inevitably coming to...

Not if Deeney goes for £32m it's not. The longer we wait this summer the more he'll go for IMO. Every player will be massively over priced if they're going from one Prem team to another.

Not sure why we pretend this "black box" is anything other than a database. Sure we're not the only club who has one...

£40m is arguably not enough in today's market.

Nixon mentioned the other day that Liverpool were 'mad for Mane'....fully expect him to go either there or Man Utd...

Surely Sterling out for Vardy too?!

Why not, hes their star player for a club moving to a larger stadium, who can afford to pay him a fortune, plus he's old..... I'm almost certain he'll be going nowhere.

@mirrordarren: Redmond set to have Southampton medical when he returns from holiday abroad. @MirrorFootball Sounds like it's pretty much done. Interesting that we'll be signing him without a manager in place. Certainly shows that its not 100% the managers decision, but then I guess we knew that anyway. A good lively player, hopefully it doesn't mean that Mane is off. Nice to have another bright young englishman in the squad if it happens.
