£30m+ on Otamendi / £40m+ on Mangala / £50m on Stones. You'd have thought City would just throw money at him.

VAN DIJK LATEST Manchester City will only revive their interest in Virgil van Dijk if Southampton 'hugely reduce' their fee expectations, according to Sky sources. The Dutch centre-half is hot property this summer with Pep Guardiola identifying him as a top target as he looks to shore up his defence, though City have been concerned about his price. Southampton's captain revealed Liverpool was his preferred destination over Chelsea and City, and it seemed he was on his way to Anfield with SSN HQ reporting they were prepared to break their transfer record to land him. However, the transfer sage involving Van Dijk took a twist on Wednesday night when the Reds ended their interest as Jurgen Klopp apologised to Southampton for their conduct in pursuit of the defender.

Some families take Monopoly very seriously.

ONYEKURU A HAMMER? West Ham United are the new favourites to sign Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru from Belgian club KAS Eupen, according to Sky sources. Onyekuru will fly to England next Monday for talks with interested clubs. Seven Premier League clubs - including Arsenal, West Ham and Swansea City - are in talks to sign the 19-year-old. West Ham are also interested in other forwards, including Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea), Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace) and Alassane Plea (Nice).

Congrats & well done Saints.

There is a "Les Reed OUT" thread. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57961-Les-Reed-OUT#.WTfdr1UrKUk

I agree, but what's even more sad is if it were to go REALLY well under either one of them, we'd be looking at 1-2 years max.

Bizarre.

Claude Puel faces sack at Southampton, once they have found replacement: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/07/claude-puel-faces-sack-southampton-have-found-replacement/

We know Claude leaving is imminent, but does the thread have to be based on an Alex Crook article?

Superb.

Think we gathered that, mate. Don't tell me - his head is at Liverpool?

Too busy d*cking around with the Claude situation. I've got no idea what we're doing.
