SuperSAINT

From that article: Better be more than £30m.

I reckon the wheels-in-motion for this were set in stone some time ago. It's the more the potential player signing(s) that *might* be an indicator.

#SaintsFC will travel to Holland for a pre-season tour this summer, facing @PECZwolle, @fctwente and @fcgroningen! #ZiyechWatch

Townsend or Mane ?!?!?!?

Posted this on the manager thread, but probably worth putting here: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/14568695.COMMENT__Is_Pellegrini_the_right_man_at_the_right_time_for_Southampton_/?ref=rss

LEICESTER'S KEANE BID REJECTED Sky sources: Leicester have had a bid rejected for Burnley defender Michael Keane, believed to be in the region of £10m

This is true! We've not been short of links with DM's this summer already: - Dominik Kohr - Idrissa Gueye - Naby Keita - Denis Zakaria - Nampalys Mendy - Didier Ndong - Franck Kessie

That can only be us then! (if that's true)

I know it’s never quite as clear cut as this – I always assume we spend roughly what we make from sales and we often tend to shift players out before we sign them. So in simple terms Vic leaves, and enables us to sign Redmond. To follow up Connor’s point above, it gels with what Claridge said about on the Monday night club recently, re: his chairman’s trip to St Mary’s where he saw the black-box in action and eluded to us knowing what players we want to replace outgoing players in the summer. (without naming names *cough* Wanyama *cough*)

Nothing new, but latest from Jeremy Wilson at the tail-end of his Wanyama-to-Spurs piece: Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/06/20/victor-wanyama-expected-to-join-tottenham-after-southampton-acce/?

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Wanyama swapping St Mary's for White Hart Lane. #THFC sources say £9m fee, those at #SaintsFC £11m. Deal may not be announced for a few days

Surely no chance with Sadio. The other 2 are more realistic.

Guan should be back from his holiday too.

Benzema is involved in some kind of sex tape scandal isn't he?

It's a continual process... You wouldn't know who Paul Mitchell found & who Wilson did. Time will tell.

Is is very true. The ONLY person I can remember who thought it was a blinding piece of business was Guillem Balague.

Zenga: Teams managed: 1998–1999 New England Revolution 2000–2001 Brera 2002–2003 Naţional Bucureşti 2004–2005 Steaua Bucureşti 2005–2006 Red Star Belgrade 2006–2007 Gaziantepspor 2007 Al-Ain 2007 Dinamo Bucureşti 2008–2009 Catania 2009–2010 Palermo 2010 Al-Nassr 2011–2013 Al-Nasr 2013–2014 Al Jazira 2015 Sampdoria 2015–2016 Al-Shaab Doesn't really fit the bill does he?

Blame Sky Sports, not me

WIJNALDUM PRICED AT £25M Everton have been quoted £25 million for Newcastle midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum. Ronald Koeman is keen to bring the Netherlands international to Goodison Park, but the price tag is £10m higher than the Magpies paid to sign Wijnaldum from PSV Eindhoven a year ago. --------------------------------------------- KOEMAN 'KEEPING TABS ON' MAN UTD MIDFIELDER Ronald Koeman is said to be keen on bringing Morgan Schneiderlin to Everton. The 26-year-old French international worked under the Dutchman for two seasons at Southampton before his move to Old Trafford last summer.

I would agree completely. To be honest, Liverpool are the last f*cking team I want to sell him too - I'm fairly amazed they are seemingly the only team interested.

Agree. While I would love to think we will hold out for £40m, I reckon we'll accept £35m

Praet mentioned again: http://sportwitness.co.uk/belgian-star-keen-sign-southampton-summer/

True. New tv money probably goes into improved wages as well as re-paying some of the debt that Kat wiped out.

Well if he got appointed and we sell Vic / Mané / Pelle & add it to the Juanmi cash, he could be a chequebook manager here too with £60m to spend.
