Saint Charlie

Why? He is behind a 19 year old for a midtable team. Im sure his agent will be looking at whats available for him and if we got a good offer it would be interesting to see what happens. End of the day Clyne had a World Cup chance, especially with Walker injured. But he has not played enough for us to get in the squad - he must be very frustrated how the season has gone.

He hasn't condemned Saints at all. He is positive about Saints. He has condemned UEFA's rule. What he says about Saints is pretty accurate apart from the signals from our Board are that we wouldnt be looking to spend massively anyway. What he said about Shaw and Chambers is sadly true. Most likely in two years neither will be at the club which is a massive shame. We produce excellent young players, keep them whilst they learn their trade then sell them for the bigger clubs to benefit from their talents. Sad but true. And so far we havent even got much money for them.

Same team as Villa. Ramirez in for JWP if available.

Most of the suggestions so far a bit unrealistic.

Also worth remembering we owe Bournemouth 25% of any Lallana fee so it will have to be big if he were to move. £30m minimum.

Was funny last summer when he had an article in the Star saying we had bid 15m for Nainggolan and then in the afternoon of that same day he tweeted to deny we had made a bid, contradicting his own "exclusive" article.

Gallagher not ready to impact games at PL level yet.

Wanyama has been good. No threat in behind but subs won't change that, we just have to keep going...

Next season he will be the one linked away every day. Thats the frustrating part. Wish these players would stay for a decent amount of time.

Need to get his contract sorted and also Jay!

Yes.

Broadsheet Journo: Allegri is spending time in London looking for a job. Am told that there is 'no way' he's the favoured candidate for Tottenham post. #THFC

Italian press not the most reliable.

Agree with OP. Also the talk of a Sporting Director seems odd from a timing point of view. Poch made a big thing last summer of how prepared we were, getting Lovren early a good example. Hope we don't cock up this summer window, because if we do we could be in a relegation battle next season if a couple of key players go, Jay is injured til near enough Xmas etc. On the other hand a couple of clever additions and we could 'kick on'.

Shaw should win but instead Hazard or Sturridge will. Sturridge made his PL debut 7 years ago, surely he shouldnt be able to win a Young Player award. Lallana - great achivement. In there with some top names ahead of the likes of David Silva.

That is a quality article.

Poch today: The former Espanyol manager claims the ball is in Southampton's court regarding a new deal. "I don't think it will be a fight, I have one more year left on my contract," he said. "The decision will be made by the club, when the club has to make that decision. "I don't really know why there needs to be this massive effort."

No reason apart from CL football and big pay increases! But hopefully they do stay.

Krueger doesn't need to clarify anything. He just needs to get the contract signed.

Poch basically defering questions to the Owner, but what can he really say apart from what he has? The only way any rumours would stop is if Shaw, Lallana, or whoever, came out and said they won't be leaving, which Shaw certainly won't do, and Lallana unlikely to either.

Boruc over Mannone for me.

Other interesting bits were that he massively rates Chambers and was amazed that Lyon sold us Lovren for less than 10m. Also that he knows people are watching him, but he doesn't want to be sat on the bench regardless of how much he is earning. Get the feeling Poch leaving would be the end for him and even if he stays he might ask to go if a top team came in for him - but he wouldn't push hard to leave if we showed signs we want to keep him, and Poch stays.

Translated from French so not ideal, but some good insights here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hat-trick.fr%2Fmorgan-schneiderlin-joueur-de-l-ombre%2F&edit-text=

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/legend-arthur-albiston-backs-luke-6999550 Talking as if its a done deal. Although it most likely is it would be hilarious if he stayed after all the stuff written about him by the press.

Club won't choose to sell anyone who is good, let alone an academy prospect.
