Player wants to leave Southampton ‘permanently’ – Says there’s ‘enough interest’, but can’t name teams: http://sportwitness.co.uk/leave-permanently-player-wants-southampton-exit-this-summer-says-theres-enough-interest/ Sir Wesley has spoken.

He’s very reliable for somebody often considered not reliable by some.

We can soon draw a line in the Forster to Celtic move. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/5863999/celtic-transfer-news-barkas-arrives-scotland-aek/ Set to sign Greek goalie for £4.5m instead.

Barry the briefcase!!!

Athletic’s Tyreke Johnson Relishing Opportunity in Hartford: https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1115260

Crikey, that last bit: And, like many clubs, Bournemouth also have outstanding transfer fees to pay for a number of players, with the club believed to still owe £81m to other clubs with only £5m owed to them on deals.

Would be ludicrous to believe that very likely statement

Always me

Always me

Don’t think so.

I should have known it wasn't close. It's not October.

Downgrade on KWP. Lyall Thomas is pretty good on Spurs news though.

Best thing is if Ralph takes a look pre-season & decides from there. There will be a queue of clubs for him regardless. He might fall into the Chambers/Targett of 'want to keep, but will help us strengthen elsewhere' bracket.

Didn't see it but listed as having an assist for the 1st Fulham goal.

I can see the argument... But unless it's a talented teenager at a cheaper price, I just don't see the budget stretching.

Not something we’ve tended to do, IIRC.

Would guess it’s his agents offering him up. I read a chap on twitter who reports on the Bundesliga say that Schalke are in BIG financial trouble. So it might not even take that much.

A whole load of nothing from the Mail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8564839/Tottenham-set-renew-talks-Pierre-Emile-Hojbjerg-Southampton-demanding-25m.html

Likely way more than we would afford. 27 might be a smidge too old. Think we’re targeting younger.

“Fulham are keen to take up their option to sign Reed on a permanent deal, although the agreed price will fluctuate significantly based on whether they achieve promotion.“ I hadn’t thought of the 2 prices thing before.

Good shout.

Bertie & JWP? Last championship defender I recall being linked to was Dael Fry at Boro.
