Ah, yes! Hopefully the J-Rod2 mystery will be solved (One way or another) tomorrow. Agreed on some of the others. There’s not much cash down there so big sell-on’s make sense. Good to see Klarer get minutes yesterday. Big picture of the academy will be interesting to see if Ralph’s iBook changes make a difference.

Not really related, but kind of related... Heard on the grapevine that the 2020/21 scholars will be announced tomorrow.

Somehow my brain transferred “BWP” as Joey Barton 😂

We shall see. Bielsa is equal parts genius & crazy.

Nile Ranger & Joey Barton

Leeds not messing around

Lazy link alert: Express linking us with Ajer @ Celtic. ------------------------- Elsewhere, Southampton are chasing Celtic’s giant Norwegian defender Kristoffer Ajer. Norwegian international Ajer, 22, who stands at six foot six inches tall, wants out of Celtic, and is one of the players manager Neil Lennon is prepared to let go as he rebuilds after his club's Champions League exit at the hands of Ferencvaros this week.

He’s been cleared.

Turkish’s source gave them 14 days notice...

Eze is more Lallana than Zaha but I agree, Zaha is probably off — Palace seem to have had the same attack for 5 years. They are in for a few attackers by all accounts.

Hoedster supposedly popped back to Belgium the other day so might be something in that. Unlike Fulham / Lemina, I can't imagine any of their teams can afford his wages...

£2m loan fee according to this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8668407/Fulham-closing-Southampton-double-deal-Harrison-Reed-Mario-Lemina.html
