Sam Cunningham ‏@samcunningham Tottenham's head of recruitment Paul Mitchell has handed in his resignation at the club. Full story @MailSport.

It's interesting when I watched some of the highlights from the championship games last weekend just how many players they were all able to retain.

Duly noted. #ITK_Watch

A piece in the Guardians on or opponents' new manager if you fancy a read: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/09/watford-walter-mazzarri-premier-league?CMP=share_btn_tw

Telegraph Football ‏@TeleFootball Crystal Palace hope to agree Christian Benteke deal after reopening talks with Liverpool: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/08/09/crystal-palace-hope-to-agree-christian-benteke-deal-after-reopen/

Monk really liked him and wanted us to sign him.

Didn't Alan Nixon 1st link us with Alex McCarthy? (But in the same article had is linked with Bastien at Anderlecht, which seems to have gone quiet.

Eduardo Fdez-Abascal ‏@efabascalUK Borja Baston move to #Swansea is now done. €18m fee. Player will travel to Wales today, medical tomorrow after agreeing 4-year deal. ^

Maybe that might mean that they will go for Isgrove.

paul joyce ‏@pjoyceexpress Ashley Williams due at Finch Farm later today to sign for Everton.

Barnsley get a nice little 15% cut of that too.

EVERTON IN FOR KONE Sky sources understand Sunderland defender Lamine Kone is this morning on Merseyside as negotiations continue over a potential move to Everton. One source has told us Everton placed the bid of £18m more than a week ago – however our sources at Sunderland have denied any bid has been received. We can trace the issues back to the departure of Sam Allardyce, who it is suggested had agreed to improve the central defender’s contract if Sunderland survived relegation. However the arrival of David Moyes has meant priorities have shifted and a new offer has not been forthcoming.

I think there's an inevitable panic from Everton with the close of the window drawing near. That Kone profit (after half a season) is good - even by our standards! Will be interesting to see if they go into over-drive now the Stones money is imminent. I think I'm still a little more worried over a Fonte move to Utd at the moment, rather than Everton.

Imagine Everton fans will be even more unbearable after that's done.

Good article and says we need a more creativity & fire power, so I agree with it entirely

Left footed centre-back.

Belgian Reporter on Twitter: Wouldn't mind us taking a look at him if Jose goes.

David Gold ‏@davidgold I am delighted to announce the transfer of outstanding Ghana forward Andre Ayew for a Club-record £20.5M fee. dg

Mentioned on here a few times... @reluctantnicko: Bristol City. Closing in on a deal for Rico Henry at Walsall. #shrewd

Unsure if this is new or just a re-mix of old articles: https://www.premierleague.com/news/68266

Jack Sullivan just tweeted that West Ham have signed Andre Ayew for £20.5m. Then deleted it.

Bertrand was a legendary one too. There was NOTHING anywhere about it.

Didn't Nice under Puel press quite high up the pitch? Assuming Watford do play 3 at the back at the weekend, and try and build it from the back, we might be able to get some joy winning the ball high up the pitch.
