Javier Hernandez is also being linked with a loan move to Sunderland and QPR...

Agreed. Forget this Lens guy, imo we should break the bank for Antonio. He would rip the Prem apart!

They've just made £50-odd million from selling Thiago Silva and Ibrahimovic to PSG! If it's true that Milan are looking at this guy to replace Silva it suggests he is very good!

Anyone know what the story in the Sunday People is then?

Have you seen his stats from last season?

Is this the Walcott story?

Wigan target Ivan Ramis has received an interesting offer from another PL club apparently. Haven't we been linked to him somewhere?

We're also being linked with Dennis Oliech, a striker who plays for Auxerre. He could well be a cheaper alternative to Lens. As he's African maybe that was Jaidi's mission...?

Saw it on Twitter. Bailey seems to have heard the same thing and it would make sense so we'll see. Maybe we're talking to Blackburn about him rather than Dann? He could be expensive though!

He's the highly-rated Blackburn full-back/winger. Good but we'll face some competition from other teams I'd imagine.

We're also interested in Martin Olsson apparently. Could be who we're chasing following the breakdown of the Buttner deal.

Radhi Jaidi ‏@RadhijaidiOff How is everyone today ? It's busy day for me, let me tell you I'm in the airport. Going for a mission ... #SaintsFC Greeting Lens...?

Yes please.

With four weeks to go until we kick off who does everybody want to complete our summer business? My wishlist would be Butland, a right-sided centre-half, Kondogbia and Lens.

We will sign a centre back there's no doubt about that and I agree with the poster above that Seaborne is unlikely to play for us in the Prem at least. Stephens' step-up means that I think Adkins will look for a player that can play defensive midfield as well as defence, hence the supposed interest in a player such as Kondogbia of Lens. He would provide some physical presence in the middle of pitch which I think we lack as well as adequate cover at centre-half.

And that they didn't bottle any challenges.

Or maybe he was showing a lack of commitment to the club?

Probably. But why did he choose to bring it up himself again today then?

Really? It was a re-quote of something he said on the 17th Feb. @Agent_ITK: Walcott could be on his way back to #Southampton in the summer. #saints #arsenal #afc

I know he is. Worth £15m though? I guess in Liverpool transfer fees he is.

It's obviously extremely unlikely but he may as well come here over Liverpool! Joe Allen could be their major summer signing... I wonder if Melanie will have any say...

Agent_ITK unfortunately. Think the fee, wages and Lack of European football would be a slight problem though!
