Apparently according to the LOSC forum for some reason boufal went to Doha to get his injury operated on (expected 4-5 weeks) and they think they should sell as they have their targets they want as well.

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but since I only found out about last week and am watching it I defo recommend Gomorrah, drama based on a book about Mafia wars in Naples. It is absolutely quality http://www.telegraph.co.uk/on-demand/2016/05/10/gomorrah-sky-atlantic-review-ugly-in-a-good-way/

This was my fav article I read on the diamond formation, very interesting and not too long and was where I got Fekir from Lyon from the other day. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2432605-breaking-down-footballs-in-vogue-formation-the-midfield-diamond

An actual rumour

Regarding Stanciu we reportedly bid 5.5 mil for him back on the 6th Jul - https://www.clubcall.com/southampton/bucharest-bid-was-from-saints---report-1814487.html This from yesterday saying we bid 9mil - https://pariurix.com/stanciu-la-mare-pret-in-anglia-9-milioane-de-euro-ofera-southampton-becali-fara-10-milioane-de-lire-nu-pleaca.html

I'm watching watford v chelsea on it fine at the mo

Only problem is being Algerian and Moroccan I'd asssume one of them would be off to the Afcon this winter

A 100% bonnafide rumour :-)

I'd settle for any colour powerhouse

Imbula is looking like the beast we needed

We must, it would be a case of gross incompetence as a business to not reinvest your transfer profits back into the playing side of the business. We already have a massive tv to pay back debt, service wages etc

I see what you are saying but I "hope" that the sort of players we are trying to buy now are players are in Euro or Champs league clubs and the delay is based on that comp being finalised like Virgil last year where Celtic didn't sell until they knew they had qualified or not.

Got rid of Marko Rog as have just seen it has apparently agreed to join Napoli

Interesting because I haven't maybe they've been on here (wil go check what they said) I just searched for teams that play the diamond and scoped who had young attacking midfielders who claude would know and fit our profile. Maybe this black box stuff isnt so hard :-) Edit - Can't find it what did they say about him ?

Gonna create my own rumour since there is none about. We should be interested in Nabil Fekir from Lyon who is 23yr's old, is an attacking midfielder in a team who already play's in the diamond formation. In his break through season when he played 34 games he got 13 goals and 9 assists and won MOM 7 times. Did his cruciate last year but has played twice already this season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxBsW4i8e3c

Haven't got a problem with our performances so far (1st half against watford aside) it is the execution we are struggling with. Last night we had 58% possession and have 13 shots to Man U's 12 ( I think we had 25 last week and 70%) The amount of balls that were overhit or sailed over the bar or balloning into the crowd when crossed is getting ridiculous. Next game I'd put Pied in for cedric as he looked more accomplished in this system and actually could cross. Obviously I would buy 2 players who presently play this system for their club, 1 AM and 1 Striker, I'd put Tadic where Davis is to add moe creativity and when needed Pierre on the other side and sit in when required with a fit Romeu/Clasie at the base

Tried to rescue this thread with a rumour or link but have zero success.

hopefully not Jerry Sandusky close

I'd be interested to see the following midfield line up Tadic Clasie - Davis Hojberg

They seem to be liking him at rayo although google translate has had a brain fart. "Gazza. brutal sensations in training, safety and spectacular with both legs scrimmage. Pint of cancerbero with very good benefits"

I have to say every summer we all say the same thing and moan but to put things in perspective we could be an Arsenal fan, they've been going nuts for about 10yrs now. I actually thought in the 2nd half we looked very good in the new formation, I would like a more cutting no.10 on the tip of the diamond, stick Pied and Betrand on the wings (cedric can have a spell on the bench). Key for me has to be Hojberg though, he has gotta start and add a no.10 to our shopping list who plays in this formation already.

Bruno Martins Indi is being allowed to leave Porto, he'd be a decent replacement and we could have hollands CB pairing

interesting that you don't write "we were losing" Virgil Capt for me
