Unless that was Redmond after-all.

This. I thought we'd see a few more coming in. Replacing Sadio not exactly the easiest thing to do. Whilst not involved, squad would be stronger if Juanmi / Gaston were replaced with 1 player. Need a keeper too.

I hope the new direction isn't: Wanyama > Reed Mane > Isgrove Pelle > Gallagher

Davide Santon is set for a medical at Sunderland after they agreed a fee with Inter Milan for the former Newcastle full-back, Sky sources understand. The Italian international has travelled to the North East for talks and will undergo a medical if he agrees personal terms.

BBC Radio Leeds ‏@BBCLeeds BBC Leeds understands Bournemouth will pay #lufc £10m with a sell on clause for Lewis Cook if the deal is completed.

I know what you are saying Convict, but when you include Rickie as well, we've had a big target man as part of our DNA for years. If he does go to China, can you imagine what they have offered him? (Chelsea & Everton wouldn't be paying him peanuts)

Pelle has 1 year left on his deal & turns 31 in a few days. It's a fairly impressive fee. (I'd still keep him though!)

The tweet Ivan is referring too: Darren Lewis ‏@MirrorDarren Southampton and Italy striker Graziano Pelle is closing in on a £13million move to China. Player wants the move. More @MirrorFootball

Quite like this one.

How much is each player?

If it's China, we are likely getting our money back and then some.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/southampton-close-completing-e40m-transfer-deal/? A bit of a sketchy report...

If we're watching the pennies, surely this is a no-brainer.

I'm in the minority as I'm OK with it. I understand it from their side of things as we've been there... But, it gives young players matches that matter against opponents that care. Good for their development IMO.

Great coach, but I had previously said he was crackers.

Tottenham are close to agreeing a fee with AZ Alkmaar to sign Vincent Janssen, Sky sources understand. The 22-year-old striker is expected to train on his own at Alkmaar's training base on Friday morning as the club's finalise negotiations. There has since been a stalemate over the transfer fee, with Alkmaar rejecting an offer close to £15m last week. But sources understand both clubs are now confident the deal will go ahead

Any news on whether he started his new role or not?

Signing the young English players is win-win. It means the players should get 1st team football & if they succeed, they will probably double in value.

Alan Nixon reporting 'Boro going for Dortmund's Neven Subotic: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1409326/middlesbrough-fly-in-borussia-dortmund-centre-half-neven-subotic-for-talks-over-move/?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-TWITTER-_-TheSunFootball-_-20160707-_-Football-_-511528590

Diafra Sakho has handed in a transfer request to West Ham, according to Sky sources. Sunderland had an £11m bid for the striker rejected early last month and West Ham have publicly admitted to be trying to sign a big name striker this summer.

It's possible, but Matt Law doesn't have great ties with either Liverpool or Saints, so I'd be more inclined to believe it if it comes from Chris Bascombe or Jeremy Wilson.
