They are a strange one because they are very high in numbers: Mane / Firmino / Salah are their main strikers, but although they have Ings / Sturridge / Solanke in reserve, I think they aren't really suited to how they play. Think they want Fekir to replace Coutinho plus another who's a multi-functioning forward who can cover the other 3.

Paul Joyce @ the Times confirms Liverpool are interested.

Difference is our money doesn't come from the owner. Ours comes from sales of players & TV money.

Left winger, apparently.

Aha! - Full 10 minute video is now up (On YouTube )

Good move by them. Save themselves a fortune by skipping out the middle man! I hear the bench is nice @ Anfield.

Crikey, his agents are busy today. City linked with him if they can't get Jorginho deal over the line (which I assume they will do). If they were offering £40m for Jorginho... Would anyone take that for Mario?

No idea how to embed twitter videos (I miss the days where everything was on YouTube & I could chromecast it), but there's a clip of Hughes talking on the @SouthamptonFC twitter page about his plans.

If we sold Lemina, and Morgan is available at around £15m.... I would def consider it.

Leicester poised to sign Jonny Evans for £3m from relegated West Brom. #JealousyFactor 3/5

Il Tempo (newspaper based in Rome) saying we would hold the advantage if Gabbi was included... http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-upper-hand-e40m-brazilian-part-striker/

I would imagine signing Gibson / Mawson / Diakhaby would be much more 'us' than signing Evans. Will be interesting to see if there's a change in policy under Hughes.

Nice article on Morocco in the NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/05/sports/world-cup-morocco.html

Yeah, I hope for the best on that one too. Then I think back to January's shambles....

I can't decide what I want to happen with Gabbi. I like him & I feel he's been under-utilized by us, but I suppose it depends if he's Hughes' cup of tea or not. If he's not, then there's no point keeping him.

Yes, but the £30m/£40m price is somewhat laughable. I'd start with a £4.5m offer to pay their HMRC bill and see what they say. Grealish looks good but Maddison seems to offer more end product.

They've got Trevor Birch in already so they are starting! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/06/05/aston-villa-plunged-financial-crisis-42m-tax-bill-leads-threat/

I love a good YouTube video.

Is your source the Spurs fan? If he has a release clause, you'd have thought it wouldn't take long to activate it. (Les & Ross probably discussing how they can drag out a transfer that has a release clause) **Braces himself for MLG tirade**

I don't really see Tadic going to Ajax. He's 29 & unless we are selling him at a mega cut price, I just don't see it.

Indeed. I have no doubt we can afford The Shaq. Like benjii said above, it's all about who else is interested.

Lichtsteiner joins Arsenal.
