Sweansea City set to launch £10m bid for Leanardo Ulloa: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/12/swansea-set-to-launch-10m-bid-for-leicesters-leonardo-ulloa-ahea/

Fact or hope ?!

Strange but true!

That's cool! - Cheers MLG.

The only way to celebrate this news:

Graziano Pellè ‏@GPelle19 I spent 2 amazing years with fans, team mates and @SouthamptonFC staff. I won't forget you. thanks with all my ❤️

Really fantastic news. Well done Saints

I'd be good with that.

I'm glad somebody else has said that about Gylfi. He's brilliant and would be fantastic in the No.10 role, but does anyone think we would be able to afford him?! We absolutely should have been in for him when he left Spurs.

Correct, sir.

I genuinely hope we are after more than just a right back.

I think you're right, actually.

& a goalkeeper, perhaps? Would assume the attacker is a No.10 type, or possibly left winger. I would have thought Cedric's performances at the Euro's meant that he would likely be our 1st choice right back for this season?

Isgrove & McQueen normally tend to start off great, and then dip - Will be interesting to see if they can maintain their form this year.

The thing with signing Charlie when did was that it completely strengthened us and gave us yet another tool in the toolbox as we didn't really have a "fox in the box". It gave us 4 strikers of 4 different styles. We've now lost a specific sort of striker & one that (with Rickie) has almost been the DNA of our resurgence.

Lyall Thomas ‏@SkySportsLyall Some interesting quotes from Sam Allardyce on the current transfer market that explains difficulty that all Prem clubs are going through... Lyall Thomas ‏@SkySportsLyall "Problem is that everybody thinks the money makes things easier, but it’s actually made things more difficult, because we all have same.... Lyall Thomas ‏@SkySportsLyall "...money and everybody else has got so much more expensive. The same player last year that cost £10m will now cost £20m, and the £20m..." Lyall Thomas ‏@SkySportsLyall "...one will now cost £35m or £40m, and the £40m one now costs £60m or £80m. We're working as shrewdly as poss to get best players we can."

Think you're right. I think it's unlikely we'll get 2 in, but you could argue we still need an left-winger & a No.10. Possibly just the one if they are versatile. Kostic or Tello, PLUS Boufal

Can't help but agree with this tweet from Jim Lucas earlier: Jim Lucas ‏@JFBLucas Sad about this. Good deal, sure, but don't underestimate how well Pellè filled the Lambert-sized void at #SaintsFC.

Injured, I believe. Not sure about Gardos, but on the OS, Re: Yoshida

If Jay gets promoted to striker, who covers Tadic on the left flank?

With some senior players missing, there are quite a few gaps around for the U21's to make an impression. I'm quite interested to see if Alfie Jones can make the step up.

The Echo seem hell-bent on us getting a right-back in.

This deal is 2nd only to the Steven Davis deal, which just seemed to magically happen on a random Friday night.
