https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9721171/Newcastle-eyeing-Mario-Lemina-continue-monitor-William-Salibas-Arsenal-situation.html Would be a good move. At least they would be able to pay all his wages.

Roma have to be amongst the suitors this summer — they were linked in April and that was BEFORE Jose ended up there (who was supposedly keen on him when he was at spurs).

Very quiet on him so far this summer. I wonder if we will actually shift him or if he will be given a chance.

Guessing he'll do it when they start spending the cash...

Burnley apparently after 2 centre-backs. Nathan Collins from Stoke close to signing for 12m. Reports are they were impressed with Phillips last season. Probably a sign James is TarkOff-ski

Good move for O’Connor.

Probably why we aren’t in for him

Surprised Brighton don’t try and do an cash + player exchange.

Do arsenal still have about 700 centre-backs or have they sold a few now?

Hopefully we've free'd up enough funds to get a couple of the line. I reckon around 200k a week has been saved in wages so far.

Good move all around. Good to get it done early, too.

A defensive midfielder is also seen as a vital position - it is understood that Southampton Oriol Romeu is admired by Villa's recruitment team and coaching staff but the south-coast club will be very reluctant sellers so, at this stage, any deal appears remote.

Think he sees himself as a right-back now, but can play centre-back. Think he played centre-back for the B-team last season at times. The academy has had a bit of a clear-out of defenders so it’s going to be quite a young line-up again next year for the B-team.

Norwich are linked with Billy Gilmour on loan, too. Shows they are having a go compared to last time.

Crikey. He’s really highly rated isn't he?

Agree with all that. Thanks for the kind words, too.

Southampton lead chase for Blackburn striker Southampton are leading the race for Blackburn Rovers striker Alan Armstrong, who looks set to move to the Premier League this summer. Norwich City recently joined the hunt for the 24-year-old, who has a year left on his contract at Ewood Park and would expect to fetch £10million for his club. Armstrong has scored 46 goals in the last two seasons in the Championship and was scouted by a number of top-flight clubs last season.
