Wouldn't be a summer without a Les Reed thread. The Les Reed See-Saw is currently down on the "negative" side. I expect it to tip to the positive side soon enough.

Interesting thing about Boufal is "transfermarkt" lists as comparable players: Ziyech / Praet / Quintero (All players we've been linked with).

Spurs watching Boufal too as they are after an AMC.

Yes please! Sorts out our AMC problem and then some! (Good luck with that though!!)

Might be another winger (Kostic) imminent if saintjimbo83 is ITK.

Has a year left on his contract. Young & English. Don't really see an issue with the price.

@JPercyTelegraph: Nathan Redmond will have a medical at Southampton tomorrow. Fee of around £10m agreed with Norwich. #saintsfc #scfc # ^ Goddard, I salute you

Nice work!

Cheers mate. Yeah, I certainly remember the name.

Not been able to translate this - I believe it says we want Thomas Partey to replace Vic? http://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/atletico-madrid/20160622/402694457417/southampton-quiere-thomas.html

Exactly who we need to add height and power to our midfield (Good player though)

It took Liverpool until 23rd July to sign Benteke from Villa. I remember them making typically derisory bids for him until that point. Hold out for £35m.

That's called copying the Telegraph article last night.

I'd agree with that. Kostic & Redmond are both out & out wingers. Mane is our X-factor forward who's the difference maker. (Redmond & Kostic won't be cheap either. Probably £20m for the pair?)

Sky just catching up.

Stek's agent is Koeman's new one. We probably aren't on the best of terms

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC #SaintsFC is delighted to announce it has retained its Category One Academy status for a further three years: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/20160624-southampton-category-one-status-academy-announcement-3151733.aspx

Yeah, rings a bell. We always have a link to a random Italian.

I always figured that signing 1 AMC would basically replace Gaston/Juanmi.

Was linked in January IIRC.

TIERNEY PENS NEW CELTIC DEAL Celtic have secured highly rated young left-back Kieran Tierney on a five-year contract, the Scottish champions have announced. The likes of Liverpool and Arsenal had been linked with the 19-year-old after his extraordinary breakthrough season in the Celtic first team. But new manager Brendan Rodgers has moved quickly to tie the Scotland international to a longer deal.

Agree. Replacing Sadio will be tricky.

From that article: That in itself is an insult.

He's off to PSG apparently.

All the usual Liverpool-centric journo's reporting the same. As I've said before, I'm OK with him going, but: 1) I thought he could do better than Liverpool. 2) I would've wanted at least £35m (when you consider TV money, and they paid out £32.5m to land Benteke!)
