Well the Echo did say he was away on holiday.

I can't see this being true without the German sports media getting a sniff.

It should be flagged as pretty much the only remotely positive Lander article I've seen!

He's loving it.

Graeme Bailey is either the closest thing we have to a Lander mouthpiece, or he's guessing.

100% of our problem was not being able to score goals.

He gets a vague mention at least in the latest Echo article... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/15325085.Saints_will_make_their_own_call_over_Puel/?ref=rss

I would LOVE to get Tuchel as Saints boss... But I'm still waiting on a credible link.

- Kelechi Iheanacho's agent appears to have confirmed that he will leave Manchester City and sign for West Ham. (Manchester Evening News) - Crystal Palace are being priced out of a permanent move for Mamadou Sakho and it looks increasingly unlikely the defender will remain at Selhurst Park. (London Evening Standard) - New Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says it'll be a club decision if Helder Costa leaves - but wants to build a team around the Portuguese record signing. (Express & Star)

How much interest did they really show?

Since Tuchel is unattached, I would assume he would be favourite for the Leverkusen job over Wagner & Bosz. We still don't have a credible source for any interest in him.

Has Alex Crook copied somebody with that figure? or has he made it up?

No, apologies. I always see this one as the general transfer window thread. Yeah, a strange one. Stoke have to get this window right as they've regressed a little bit.

SSN: West Brom captain Darren Fletcher has agreed to sign a two year deal with Stoke City when his contract expires in July.

At least it isn't Liverpool. Hopefully City & Chelsea want him so we don't have to be subjected to Liverpool submitting ridiculously low offers every other day.

TOFFEE'S BAULK AT PICKFORD VALUE Everton are not prepared to meet Sunderland's £30m valuation for goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, according to the Liverpool Echo. The 23-year-old was one of few shining lights in a dismal campaign which culminated in the Black Cats’ relegation to the Sky Bet Championship. Pickford’s future at the Stadium of Light has been cast into doubt following David Moyes resignation. However, potential suitors Everton are not reportedly willing to meet Sunderland’s valuation or the England U21 international.

Get French Football‏ @GFFN Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas confirms he will meet with Chelsea in London this week to negotiate for attacker Bertrand Traoré.

I supposed it'll be like Mane. Liverpool will get him if none of the super-powers want him. £50m is still a very good price.

Has looked good when I've seen him play. He's been unlucky not to feature more for them IMO. Whether we would spend that much on a 28 year old is up for debate though.

It's possible it's so it all looks nice & mutual.

Unless they go for Vieira.

If we had somebody who could score a goal, that gap would have been significantly reduced.
