Do we know if he can speak English?

If he wants to, then yes.

I don't know! I just feel the fact that we are happy to name the other 2, but not the other might be telling.

I'm currently going to assume it's our preferred candidate...

Would be a huge change of pretty much every requirement we've had previously. Interviews would be much better though.

@_pauljoyce: Everton set to complete signing of Sandro Ramirez. Player had medical last weekend.

**Sends Bat Signal to K,Billy & Guan 2.0**

No worries. I hadn't actually read it before I posted it. Some interesting detail in there. Again making reference to "one other candidate". Interesting to see Nagelsmann get a mention too. Did our messing around cost us Marco Silva?

I loved Cork but we could probably get so much more for our money on the continent if we were looking to spend that much.

Telegraph / The Echo / Simon Peach have insinuated he was considered but not an option / he's not interested.

Spurs want £20m for Wimmer. Wtf.

That was the main thing I noticed (aside from Claude being back in the race).

Pete O'Rourke‏ @SportsPeteO: Southampton are among several Premier League clubs chasing Hull City goalkeeper Will Mannion. #saintsfc #hcafc http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/16/por-southampton-eye-hull-starlet-mannion/

When does the next thread start?

A man after my own heart! #ITK_Watch

Well at least 50% of them should be here when the season starts

So when are they going to give us a nice clear picture?!

@SamWallaceTel: Manchester United told Eric Dier will cost them £50 million #MUFC http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/16/manchester-united-told-eric-dier-will-cost-50-million/

Frank de Boer not in contention to replace Claude Puel at Southampton: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/southampton-next-manager-frank-de-boer-latest-odds-claude-puel-a7794211.html A slightly strange article.

Brighton have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Mathew Ryan from Valencia. The newly-promoted Premier League club say Ryan has agreed a five-year deal and joins for a club-record fee.

Scouting reports would be welcome on Chalobah & Baker please.
