CALHANOGLU'S AGENT: SPURS INTERESTED Hakan Calhanoglu's agent has claimed that Tottenham have shown interest in the Bayer Leverkusen forward. The 22-year-old has also been linked with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish press this summer. His agent, Bektas Demirtas, told German publication Express: “It is true that Tottenham have registered their interest with me.”

Adam Blackmore ‏@bigadamsport Cuco Martina move to Everton close - expected to be completed by tomorrow morning #saintsfc #EFC (@philmcnulty)

No.10 position. But can play either flank.

For that, my friend, we need a list. (Loans are marked *) - LOVREN - WANYAMA - OSVALDO - TADIC - PELLE - BERTRAND - *TAIDER* - FORSTER - LONG - GARDOS - *ALDERWEIRELD* - MANE - *ELIA* - *DJURICIC* - JUANMI - CEDRIC - *STEKELENBURG* - MARTINA - CLASIE - *CAULKER* - ROMEU - VAN DIJK - AUSTIN - REDMOND - HØJBJERG - A.McCARTHY - PIED

Agree. Stanciu AND Boufal would make sense in a "support 3". I can't see us signing both with the diamond formation. If we sticking with the diamond, I'm very curious to see what type of strike we are bringing in.

Wow. That is some record. http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14699826.Southampton_must_break_Moyes_record_to_kick_start_season/?ref=rss

Looked like Mane grabbed himself 3 assists tonight. (Might have got more, but only saw 3)

HAMMERS INTEREST IN ZAZA Sky sources understand West Ham are keen on Juventus striker Simone Zaza. The Hammers hold “concrete” interest in the Italy international, according to the players’ father, but we understand the Premier League side want to sign him on loan. Juventus are only interested in a permanent deal, though.

Worth the million for the Arsenal goal alone. F*cking unreal strike.

Adam Leventhal @AdamLeventhal #WatfordFC fans - after Janmaat, understand 1 more arrival wanted with interest in Lille's Sofiane Boufal still strong. Busy window. #BoufalWatch

I'm jumping on the band-wagon too. When I was a kid, I always played as Argentina on International Superstar Soccer : Deluxe They played 4-4-2 diamond. What did I learn from it? You need a sh*t hot No.10. He wasn't real, but I loved Redonda. AWESOME player

The nearest you get to wingers are the strikers, when they split out wide.

WATFORD JANMAAT BID ACCEPTED Watford have had an offer in the region of £7.5m accepted for Newcastle defender Daryl Janmaat, according to Sky sources. The Dutchman was not named in Rafa Benitez’s squad to face Cheltenham in the EFL Cup this evening, and is travelling to London for a medical. Newcastle are set to sign DeAndre Yedlin as Janmaat’s replacement.

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri Everton have bid 25m Euros for Napoli's Gabbiadini. Player seriously considering the move

Sunderland have a fair few injuries at the moment. 7 players out currently according to: http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php#c3

As a status update: Latest ITK report has us being in for 2 players. The names in the media suggest the following... 2x No.10's: - Sofiane Boufal - Nicolae Stanciu 1x Winger: - Rachid Ghezzal 2x Strikers: - Simone Zaza - Sebastien Haller

Last nights game was a great watch. I really enjoyed it. Pretty much everyone played well - I'd keep an eye on Tyreke Johnson though. 17 years old. If we can keep that standard up, I'm very interested in seeing how we would get on in the EFL Trophy this year.
