Saint Charlie

Theres nothing semi reliable with his name in the frame but to get down to 4/1 there must have been a fair bit of money placed on him. How strongly has he committed himself to staying there? Whilst not as exciting as Koeman, Magath isnt a mug and has generally done pretty well at most teams he has managed.

Money still coming in for Magath...

Magath now 6/1, they must have had quite a bit of cash on him.

Greg Dyke would be an awful choice!

Pulis was probably not even listening. "Yeah of course Leon mate, yeah sure, completely agree pal. Got to go. Speak soon yeah?"

If we like him lets get him in and get going.

Crook knows everything about nothing and doesn't even do that very well.

Hardly the same. Plus we all expect Ramirez to go (nothing to do with the meltdown) and both Lovren and Yoshida could go for different reasons.

Nobody knows. What Koeman hasnt been reported as anything near a certainty by any reputable sources, not just yet anyway.

Crook said its dead cert so probably means its off. His logic is that Yakin hasnt been spoken to so we must be getting Koeman. #CrookLogic

Quality from Crook's ladz. He interviewed Yakin's agent at the start, who said he might be interested. If he still hasn't heard anything then its probably because Saints aren't interested so might as well give up pestering the guy.

Still nothing overly concrete re Koeman...

What about it? He is set for Brighton it seems.

Thought no transfers were happening until we have a Manager in place too?

LOL. What a goon that OP is.

Brighton close to naming Sami Hyypia at their Boss. Despite all the Koeman talk there hasnt been anything concrete yet, sure we have spoken to lots of Managers.

Last bit of ITK info was that Yoshida was at Staplewood. At the same he was pictured training in Japan.

Times Sports Editor "LFC will sign Lallana. Unless something amazing happens." Its just a matter of time/negotiations.

Cheers for info - all v interesting. Next time you speak to your source can you ask if Jos likes being number 26 or prefers 5?

Yeah, its just true. Not much more to say.

LOL at the "no quotes so it isn't real" head in the sand-ers. Now Adam Blackmore is the one to blame for unsettling talk. Have a word with yourselves. Lallana wants to go to Liverpool. He pretty much said at the Awards Dinner and in the Programme final game of the season that he was considering the thought of leaving.

Pretty obvious that was going to happen. Tough decision, can understand from AL's perspective but he was happy to sign a big contract so we should hold firm to get the fee we want. Sure it will all be resolved and will end with him leaving to join Liverpool for near enough what we want. Not much more the Club can do other than bargain hard.

Interesting the Academy is mentioned before the first team in the statement.

Only one Academy player in the first team? You are about three short at least. Notice how the statement about players being wanted by other clubs actually mentioned the Academy before the first team? Shows how important the Academy is viewed as being.

Deep into the process then. Also seen that Koeman's assistant Van Bronkshorst is staying at Feyenoord so if it is him he would need someone else.
