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

Aha! - There it is! - An ITK finally debunking Mr Schitt.

This is true! I'm not sure how I never realised this, but Puel was Gueye's coach @ Lille, before he joined Villa.

With a bit of Ruud Van Nistelrooy thrown into the gene pool mix too.

I like him too - he's played an enormous role in our rise. It's a risky statement to make though! At least it answers the question of whether we will replace Vic like-for-like though! Really looking forward to seeing this kid play.

SSN with quotes from Les Reed saying we have the best pool of midfielders to select from in the premier league (?!) Did I hear that right?

GUEYE GONE? Marseille have entered into talks with Aston Villa over midfielder Idrissa Gueye, having triggered his £7.1million release clause. He moved to Villa last summer after spending five years with Lille, however, following Villa's relegation to Championship, he is now keen on returning to France.

West Ham striker roulette!

The West Ham hierarchy want people to know that they paid a very large loan fee for him. (With an option to buy).

This is how you do a transfer isn't it? Hear about it Sunday. Signs on a Monday. Done.

BACCA UPDATE West Ham will meet with Carlos Bacca's representatives this week to discuss personal terms over a club record move to the Olympic Stadium, according to Sky sources. The Hammers have activated the £26m release clause in the forward's current contract at AC Milan and will now hope to persuade him to join the club. If terms can be agreed, Bacca would become Slaven Bilic's sixth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Gokhan Tore, Sofiane Feghouli, Toni Martinez, Havard Nordtveit and Domingos Quina.

I'll miss Graziano. I'll only ever have fond memories. That overhead vs QPR, his chested lay-off to Davis @ Stamford Bridge. His 30 yarder vs Stoke. Fantastic stuff. Lets face it, coming in to replace Rickie was not an easy job and he did a very good job. I'll miss him. Still surprised we aren't lining up a replacement, but what do I know?!

Alan Nixon said we are still in for him yesterday too.

Does this mean the £125k wages were WAY wrong?

I've also been keeping track of that list. Exceptionally worrying if Tadic goes.

NEWCASTLE WANT £35M FOR SISSOKO Newcastle have told other clubs they will have to pay £35m if they want to sign France star Moussa Sissoko, SSN HQ understands.

BERAHINO REJECTS WEST BROM DEAL Saido Berahino has turned down the offer of a new contract from West Brom, according to Sky sources. The four-year deal, offered last week, would have kept him at the Hawthorns until 2020. The 22-year old is keen for a new start and sees his future away from West Brom. Stoke are known to be keen on the former England U21 striker, with Palace and Watford also monitoring the situation.

This is true. No shortage of good options available for them though.

Apart from tweeting about his info being "exclusive to sotonians" which is a bit weird.

Would be a great replacement for Vic as a destroyer - but would probably be too expensive. Leicester probably don't need him unless they sell Kante.

Perhaps too convinient that all the No.10's he mentions have been linked already? You'd have thought a genuine ITK on here would know if he was talking "schitt" or not.
