I think Armstrong is like a cheaper (& not as good) version of Sigurdsson.

Interesting choice of position to strengthen, if true. So who's off then?

Sky sources understand Southampton want to sign Luciano Vietto and are in talks with his club Atletico Madrid. The Argentine forward, who scored 10 goals on loan at Sevilla last season, is also a target for Sampdoria.

@BurnleyOfficial: SIGNING: Jack Cork has signed a four-year deal with the Clarets.

It's in part of the article that's talking about their struggles to sign Mendy from Monaco. (Who is a left back).

Would be a hell of a loan signing for a championship side. Can't help but feel Targett would be better off going out on loan.

@JimWhite: Paul Clement, @SwansOfficial manager, admits tonight there has been some "very strong interest" in the Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson

Not sure there's many left...

Too many other reporters have mentioned he's off to Watford for my liking. It's only Nizaar Kinsella who's reporting it we're interested - I've no idea if he's well connected or not.

Doubtful we can sign players to walk straight into our team without selling players first.

HAMMER STEPPING UP HART EFFORTS West Ham are stepping up their efforts to sign England goalkeeper Joe Hart from Manchester City, Sky sources understand. Hart is expected to leave City this summer after returning from a season-long loan deal at Torino, and while they would prefer a permanent deal for Hart, West Ham would prefer a loan with an option to buy.

If there was a clause, we will hear about it from the usual places.

Speedster winger as well, please.

But previously both in-between managers & before one jumping ship.

A strange pre-season build up so far. - No annual Les Reed interview (I always quite enjoy those). - No ITK posts from Guan or K,Billy

Huddersfield have signed 9

Bet we didn't put a big sell-on clause onto his deal...

I would agree with that. Can't help but feel Madrid would want him to get experience in La Liga though.
