http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/07/02/report-tottenham-target-mario-suarez-has-surprise-release-clause/ It was Marca that said his release clause is £8.5m. Great price if true.

He's really not very good.

Well if Illarramendi is £16m and Van Dijk around £8.5m... Have Benitez and Koeman got a good relationship?

His release clause is 22m euros I believe.

Krychowiak's release clause is around £15m and Van Dijk is rumoured to be around £9m. Wishful thinking?

Does this mean we'll be playing 4-3-3 next season? (If we're after a right-sided central midfielder)

Juan Arango ‏@JuanG_Arango 1m1 minute agoHollywood, FL Looks like @danistone25 will be arriving over at @Cruz_Azul_FC in the next few hours.

A centre back and one more though?

"They have been active in securing Juanmi, Cedric Soares, Cuco Martina and Maarten Stekelenburg for in excess of £10m. The capture of Clasie will boost that total still further with Saints still in the market for more fresh faces." Interesting line from the Echo. Suggests we'll bring in more than one new face after Clasie.

I'd count Rodriguez as an 'In'.

But will we get a message from him on the OS...?

Our mate Ogbonna apparently.

Yes.

I wouldn't worry, the offers for Imbula and Krychowiak suggest the club think the same.

If we are losing Morgan and that trusted barrier in front of the defence, I'd prefer a more experienced centre back coming in personally.

PSV have given Wijnaldum permission to talk to Newcastle and undergo a medical.

I watched it. It was on UEFA's website but not as a video. Just showed the teams being drawn against each other on the website.

Mitrovic could be very good.

Because you get the most points for goals and assists as a midfielder.

I noticed he was ruled out of the Gold Cup with a foot injury. Not sure how bad it is though.

Or we knew Toby preferred Spurs and got complacent about this clause while we should have been sounding out other targets? We could go on all day.

True. But maybe if we had bid earlier we could have given him another good option?
