& wages won't be an issue when you're paying your manager £140k a week.

I believe his official abbreviation should be "MPL".

I can accept all that. It just better not be for £25m

Assuming it's Pellegrini, of course.

I can't tell what ITK radio-silence means.

It's gone very quiet.

Unsure on the validity of it: Richard Buxton ‏@RichardBuxton_ Everton have met Wesley Sneijder's release clause, according to reports in Turkey. Fee believed to be €7.5 million (£5.8M) #EFC

I enjoyed it! - K.Billy, can you tell me whether I should be buying a French, Chilean, or German wine please?

Aside from this little Q&A, there's some really good detail in that link, re: Ross Wilson & our chief Scottish scout.

Doesn't matter though does it?

Just needed Francis Benali signing a tenancy agreement in the background and that would seal it

Perhaps some good news Re: Dave Watson http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2016/06/22/lodewijks-set-to-join

Whilst higher profile than Vic, Carvalho is similar in that everyone has looked at him, but nobody has pulled the trigger on signing him yet. I would imagine he would cost an absolute fortune. I'm expecting us to spend around £8m on Vic's replacement.

Going to enjoy watching this later. Interesting move. Have other clubs done similar?

Glad you've asked. Yes! - It's been off & on for a few days for me.

Hmm... He probably doesn't count as a youth player, but I wonder how Denayer is getting on there? Was highly rated back in the day.

Waiting for new manager before announcing? (Have their been any reports of medicals etc?)

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
