Marco Silva not on Southampton shortlist if they sack Claude Puel: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/05/22/marco-silva-not-southampton-shortlist-sack-claude-puel/

The only remotely good thing about this option is IF the entirety of Berty's fee goes towards signing Sigurdsson.

Great signing for Arsenal's reserves.

Kaveh Solhekol‏ @SkyKaveh Arsenal in talks to sign Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru from Belgian side KAS Eupen. Release clause £6.8m. Top scorer in Belgium Kaveh Solhekol‏ @SkyKaveh Everton, Southampton, West Brom & Middlesbrough also trying to sign Henry Onyekuru. He's a massive Arsenal fan. Dream to play for Arsenal Kaveh Solhekol‏ @SkyKaveh Lots of clubs in for Onyekuru but Arsenal 1st choice: Everton, Southampton, WBA, Swansea, West Ham, Anderlecht, Brugge, Borussia Dortmund

Jack Pitt-Brooke worth keeping an eye on. He broke the news about us contacting Silva's people.

I probably wouldn't complain too much if we sold FF & replaced him with Pickford.

Any idea on figures? Would hope for at least £90m from that lot.

Doesn't really matter. Your original point isn't valid.

http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/05/21/report-southampton-ready-to-break-transfer-record-for-gylfi-sigu/ Still don't see this happening...

Didn't beat him though.

I wondered about him too. Ross Wilson obviously has good contacts there, so I'm sure he knows all about him.

Reserving Hojbjerg & Boufal judgement until next summer.

There's an argument to be made that Paul Mitchell was a bigger miss than we thought.

I know. EVERY season.

I wonder whether at 28, if a big bid of around £20-25m came in for him, we might accept.

Cheers of the answers so far. It's no coincidence that our main chance creator & assist-getter would have a bad season when we can't hit a barn door!

I would agree with this, trousers. Claude / Saints is almost a microcosm of Wenger / Arsenal.

Probably similar on Chelsea/Liverpool boards too. I've no doubt he will go. We won't be able to sign anyone if we don't sell him.

Been mulling this over for a while... When on form, one of our best players. Poor for large parts of the season. He supposedly wanted out last summer before signing a new contract... Has undoubtedly missed Pelle & Sadio. What would you do if we got a big offer for him?

*re-bump* It was so bloomin' obvious.

I know when the end of season is kicking into gear when we go into "lap of appreciation exit watch" mode. I look forward to K, Billy / Guan next telling us what players have said they want to leave.

It's crazy really. Les & Ross know right now what their conclusion will be.

Incredible to think we finished 8th with only 17 goals at home.

Bump.

Gives room for the new man to improve next season
