I don't believe the link, but I'm weirdly warming to the Berahino idea. Very "Sadio-esque" and if he keeps his head straight, he's a difference make in this division - And we'd make him better.

Pretty much what we thought, I suppose. "between £10 million and £20 million" is such a random amount to want - I guess we'll take £10m then! Are we to assume we won't sign a replacement as we signed Austin? I don't see anyone in the squad who can really hold the ball up as well as Graziano.

So he's been here a year... I believe he signed a 3 year deal so he's now in that 2 year window. What do we think? Sign him up on a new one? Or is he destined to be the next Jack Cork, where we love him, but we lose him. I say sign him up on a new deal.

He's 5'5" Kante replacement, IMO.

Leicester City ‏@LCFC BREAKING: #lcfc have signed Nampalys Mendy from @ogcnice on a four-year deal.

Pelle's penalty reminded me of this one in '94

As of last results, I think it was around £60m. https://audioboom.com/boos/3668264-listen-southampton-chief-executive-gareth-rogers-talks-to-adam-blackmore-about-the-club-s-financial-report-for-2014-15

I'm pretty much happy with that to be honest. I figure that we sell in order to buy, and the TV money contributes to wages/new contracts (whilst reducing the overall shareholder debt)

L'Equipe reporting that PSG had a bid accepted for Vincent Janssen, but the striker has told them he prefers a move to Tottenham.

Anymore news on this?

Slick job - Looks much better.

Good to know. Cheers. Will be interesting to see who can kick-on this season. Puel will get a really good look at them whilst a lot of the senior team are still absent.

Agreed. West Ham & Everton will probably have a punt.

Southampton FC ‏@SouthamptonFC 13 youngsters signed two-year scholarships with #SaintsFC earlier this week. Link: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/20160702-13-sign-scholarships-with-southampton-3164673.aspx

I can't work out if that's hardly a ringing endorsement - or if it's the greatest compliment anyone could ever have?!

I'd agree on certain kits actually. I was specifically thinking about last season's green one - that looked much better in person.

The evolution of our new kit is often: 1) Seeing cool fan-designs and getting hopes up. 2) Seeing a leaked image of something that can't be real because the fan designs are much better. 3) Finding out the leaked image is real. 4) Mass hysteria. 5) The new design looking better in person & growing on you.

NOT THE BRA!?!?

Ah oui, - This is true, Windows. It's harsh to criticise him on his English IMO.

I wonder what Eric Black thought about Gueye. By all accounts, he seemed one of the few Villa players to get any credit from last season.

For somebody who played & coached exclusively in France, his English is very impressive IMO.

Think he did fine. Really intrigued to see how he gets on this coming season under a new manager as he's one of the genuine "Ronald signings" that we made. Will be interesting to see how Claude can develop him (as he was a diminutive defensive-midfielder himself).

That's a great signing. Mata's replacement already?
