I don't mind a boring window if it means we keep VVD, Bertrand, Cedric and Tadic. Add a couple more players and we're ready to go.

Roma closing in on Defrel... http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/roma-defrel-negotiations-continue-positively-deal-could-come-soon

All those options and yet it was Ward-Prowse that played out wide in the second-half of the season.

Agreed. I wouldn't say that only completing 50/123 attempted take-ons shows that he "dribbles past his opponents with great ease" though.

Looking at Squawka, I would question this description of him: "Karamoh is a genuine winger who loves to dribble past his opponents with great ease." (He only successfully completed 50 of the 123 take-ons he attempted in Ligue 1 last season).

He's older than Mbappe.

Link to Caen winger Yann Karamoh (described as the new Kylian Mbappe despite the fact that he is six months older...) Would be very keen on this one. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3936803/southampton-yann-karamoh-kylian-mbappe-caen/?utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SprnklrSUNOrganic&UTMX=Editorial:TheSunFootball:TwImageandlink:Statement:Sport

I don't think he'll be going as no one will pay the £75m price tag.

Shame. Perhaps Defrel is our top target.

Ruben Neves might be going to Wolves

They rate Iheanacho at £25m so you think Bertrand is worth £50m?

It's The Sun I know, but I'd definitely take Iheanacho if Bertrand is determined to go. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3908459/southampton-manchester-city-kelechi-iheanacho-pep-guardiola-ryan-bertrand/?utm_source=TWITTER&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SprnklrSUNOrganic&UTMX=Editorial:SunSouthampton:TwImageandlink:Statement:Sport

I think Bertrand is a top player myself.

Hopefully we're keeping close tabs on Metz winger Ismaila Sarr. 19 years old and still a little raw but making a big impact in Ligue 1, and similar in style to a certain Sadio Mane dare I say. They want €15m for him apparently. Obligatory YouTube vid... [video=youtube;-BOIoEMS8ng]

Like John Terry and Per Mertesacker

We 100% won't accept less than that?

But he could have £100m to spend from those three sales IF the money is to be reinvested.

Did we we actually consider Ranieri?!

Any chance of a 10pm announcement?

Would be a great signing.

Markus Weinzierl is our mystery man then.

Polish journalist (I think) on Twitter suggesting that we've offered €6.5m plus bonuses for Jan Bednarek and it should be enough to get him.
