Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Joe Fonte set to leave Southampton after bids from West Ham and West Brom are accepted http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/01/19/jose-fonte-bids-accepted-west-ham-west-brom-southampton-captain/

SSN: West Brom have agreed a fee believed to in the region of £17m for Watford striker Odion Ighalo. SSN: Sky sources understand West Brom have had their latest offer for Jake Livermore accepted by Hull City.

BILIC PROVIDES BIG FONTE UPDATE This morning we brought you news that West Ham were in talks with Southampton over central defender Jose Fonte, and while Bilic has denied the player is having a medical at the club he admitted that they could have something to announce in 24 hours time... "[Fonte is] not having a medical today," said Bilic. "We are not talking about transfers, we are working on some though. "There are one or two players we need, it won’t be easy, but we are trying. "Hopefully have something to announce in 24 hours."

Ulloa is a slight doubt for them. Slimani, Amartey, Mahrez are away at the AFCON.

Saw a few people last night saying we actually played better WITH the diamond than now we've gone to 4-3-3. I'd like to see us switch it up, depending on who we play.

Yeah! - Weird! I don't think he wanted the move though, so fair play to him at least.

SSN: Sky sources understand Watford are in talks to sell Odion Ighalo to West Brom.

We should know we get our money back anyway when they sign Bertrand in the summer

Hence why we are probably trying to loan them instead...

Assuming he doesn't get re-injured... **Remembers this is the positive thread** HE WON'T GET RE-INJURED!

I predict a loss and then we get an article on the OS with Puel saying "we need to be more clinical" which seems to appear after every game.

Here we go then. Lots of changes. We only score one goal in home games... Not sure that's enough to beat them.

It feels like an "us" kind of move. Loan option etc. I'm pretty sure reports at the start of Jan even said that Liverpool wanted to sell, but would loan him at the end of Jan if no buyer was found. Report even mentions Fonte / West Ham too.

@OptaJoe: 1 - Southampton have scored exactly one goal in each of their last seven home games in all competitions. Singular.

If it's true, that little bell-end Jack Sullivan will be tweeting about it soon enough.

A slightly random move. I'd bring Tadic on.

I read rising to £21m (Plus buy-back & sell-on clauses)

Lafferty worries me. We also have the world's smallest midfield. Please win Saints!

Bamford signs for Boro.

Very interesting seeing them both in...

My vote for signing a "rubbish" striker a while back was Crouchie. Shame he's started scoring for Stoke now!

He needs TLC from a manager rather than to be dug-out in the press by Jose.
